Maybe, but the GWS playing list has been picked apart for years. Way more exits than blokes coming in. I don't think I've heard many FA's nominate GWS as their preferred destination. And I don't mean oldies on their last legs. The job GWS have to build a successful club and culture is pretty difficult IMO.
I also have mixed feelings about SOS, but we're always riding the blame merry-go-round, because if you rate SOS, it must be development, or the coach, or Russell or..........................

Malthouse is too old, Bolton / Teague too young and inexperienced. Malthouse is too grumpy and unpleasant, Teague is too nice. bolton's game plan is too complex, Teague's is too simple.
Whether we go wth black or white, it never works.
Which simply proves, yet again, as Chomsky said, outside of a few very small areas of knowledge, nobody knows much about anything.
I don't know who you've been listening too, but its been pretty clear and pretty consistently the fact we can't find a teammate and can't chase.
Fix that and there won't be any issues.

You can identify the same deficiencies in both teams...debatable leadership, lack of physicality and both lists constantly have injured players....bad luck maybe or just brittle players to start with?
GWS have those skills we crave and yes they have been a supermarket for players for other clubs but how many of those players have really kicked on, smacked it out of the park at other clubs and propelled those teams to greater glory...maybe Jack Steele.
How many GWS players are there on the recent premiership winners lists?..Townsend at the Tigers.....
Richmond, Hawthorn, Bulldogs, West Coast havent really over done the GWS theme have they?

We can quibble about the bar you have set, which sounds like it would eliminate 90% of traded players from all clubs, but I would argue that in addition to Steele, Josh Bruce, Devon Smith, Hoskin-Elliott, Treloar, Dylan Shiel, Tomlinson (especially this season), and probably Sam Frost have all added positively to their later clubs. Treloar and Steele are probably the pick of the bunch IMO.

If people were allowed to sit in their own reserved seat it would make contact tracing too easy. We can't have that.

I've watched Carlton training over the last few years...pre Covid and since
Everything is at cruise control...nice running patters and most kicks hit targets...there is zero match simulation and pressure on kicks and tackles..no wonder we melt under full match conditions
Goal kicking practice a joke...sit there with 20 footys and kick away...no man on the mark or do a quick 20m sprint and have heart rate up when shooting ..like match day..what a joke
Excellent post [member=795]Gags1960[/member] .. precisely what sh1ts me to death. Lousy coaching
