Sorry Thry, your posts reek of the silver spoon, the old Carlton ways.
We are not the billionaires of the AFL anymore, we cannot afford to waste a thing! If there is even a slither of performance we let slip by we will be doomed to crawl the gutters!
I'm glad you can defend the club so strongly, it shows your passion, but it also betrays where you think we stand.
We need to find some glitter in amongst the turds and turn it into gold, we can't afford to go to the jewellery shop any more!
This discussion reminds me of some friends who were banging on about the $20M Carlton was granted to redevelop part of PP, they were trying to rub it in the faces of some opposition fans, like we are still the big boys getting the big toys. But it's for the girls Thry not the men!
Have you looked at Gowers round two? 8 disposals 4 tackles and 1 goal.
Can't believe we didn't senior list him.

Better than SoJ Rnd 1, yet SoJ does not deserve to be dropped according to some of your other posts!
You do not seem to be seeing the contradiction in your posts!

We've only actually gone to the draft in the last couple of years and so far the signs are promising.
We'll still have some draft busts like every club does, Kane Tenace was a first rounder when Geelong could seemingly do no wrong, but we finally seem capable of identifying genuine talent.
Cast your mind back, Pagan delisted 17 players at the end of his first year at Carlton and only Simon Fletcher was picked up, he subsequently played 8 games at Richmond.
Our current list is nowhere near as hopeless as it was back then and now we actually have 6 or 8 young players of genuine talent as well as another 4 or 5 who will be honest foot soldiers.
We need another decent draft and a couple of astute trades to build our core, but all of this takes time.
Brisbane finished dead last in 1998.
