Posters on this forum are already touting Weitering as season end trade bait after only 2 Rnds of 2018.

It's the old Carlton way.
Its hard being patient barracking for our mob LP.

Weitering - strong potential
Marchbank - already proven
Kreuzer - already proven
Curnow - already proven
McKay - strong potential

Navy glasses on there.

I've rated the same players...
Weitering - potential, but big question marks of late
Marchbank - already proven
Kreuzer - proven, but injury prone
Curnow - strong potential, but still need to be proven long term.
McKay - potential, but delivered nothing at this stage.

Not really....you look at the results, ladder and percentages and it's pretty obvious.
Have we improved in the last three years?
We're younger...that's about it!

Some of them might actually be manure.

Sure we haven't seen enough of the kid, and I'm not saying he couldn't be the next Lance Franklin, but he just doesn't seem to have the mongrel or "in and hard at it" that I'd expect from a kid who is sitting in the 2s, wanting to make it as a professional AFL player.

I agree deags.
Harry has done zilch so far this season. Kerr is showing more key forward potential than Harry.
Not so sure about Kerrs ruck work though.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.
