Rd 19: Post Game Conversations: Carlton vs Geelong

[northernblue]

Ratts certainly wanted to target a tall forward at the end of 2011 - whether Swann interfered with that, I know not.

Geez, we all wanted to target a tall forward... and we still do !!
We wanted a tall forward and we drafted one, Rowe.
The fact that he's functioned better in defense is irrelevant.
What other tall forwards were available around our picks ?

This BS of sheeting every (bad ????) trading/drafting decision home to one man or two, having some secret agenda to destroy the club or some such crap, has to stop kids.

If a list manager drafts the players he wants to the exclusion of the coaches preferred type of player, the team will go nowhere.
