I don't believe under-performing is the same as inconsistency, I accept the younger players have consistency problems, but when they play well they play well and labeling them under-performing is a bit unfair.
Tutt has been gathering 30+ possession games for most of the season, that gets him some attention, but the defects in his game are the very same defects he had at the Bulldogs before he came to Carlton. Nothing has changed! At AFL level where he has no significant advantage the opposition expose his foibles within minutes. If there were no short steps from Tutt in those VFL games you have watched, he sure made up for it in his last AFL match!

As one of the most consistent and and better performing players in the NBs, Tutt deserved an opportunity in the seniors. That he didn't make the most of it is another issue. However, giving under-performing players a shot before him on the basis of their youth would be sending a very, very, very bad message.
THIS!
The club have been very good with selections this year. They support the team vision and the logic can't be faulted.
But of course the methodology doesn't guarantee wins, otherwise we'd have #17 in the bag.

It's all part of "driving culture and values" as Bolton would say.

this is why we have to keep our draft picks and recruit mids (quick)in this year draft.
