I picked 9th to 12th
Yep
I've changed my mind.
We're not interested in winning at the moment.
I hope they know what they're doing.

I don't think the primary goal is to tank but to give as many young guys as much exposure to senior footy as possible. This is the agreed agenda right across the club from the board down. Of course if we also happen to get some good draft picks out of it too then all well and good. I am now going to just try to watch the rest of the season with some academic detachment and hopefully see our youth develop.

Darcy Fogarty welcome to the Blues 8)
190cm mid/forward who is an early leader in this year draft for top five pick.
kicked 10 goals for glenelg last week and six goals yesterday.
He is what you call an attacking midfielder - similar to Fyfe as he is super overhead but smashes the scoreboard like no mid I have had the pleasure to read on.
Will see him run out for Adelaide in under 18 state champs.

You know, I woke up this morning (da da dah da daaaah), and there were a number of highly fancied teams located below us on the ladder..... I'm still confident that no matter what 2017 brings we win our next flag before a stack of other clubs.
The last thing we need is a year in which we win enough games to qualify for picks outside the top couple as we need to keep building. Stay the course Carlton or hand the keys back and turn the lights off.

I think they're doing a controlled list management program that will provide a large number of young players the opportunity to experience senior football a bit before they normally would.

We'll probably finish bottom two, rusted on supporters like people on this board will keep buttering up but some others will drop off, and we won't be attracting very many new supporters or members that's for sure and certain.
The danger is that a long and painful rebuild will badly affect our long term viability with no guarantee of success, the one bright spot is that if we beat Collingwood in a fortnight they'll self destruct.
