Reset Rants

[Thryleon]

I got the list of ages from here...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Carlt...lub_season
Has a quote in regards to the squad...I saw no reason to check that info, and based on that time-frame, i think it eliminates your 'anomalies' mentioned.

As for the relative performance of each list, i have no doubt that our current crop is better.
However, considering, 80% of that list is no longer at the club, its not hard to come to that conclusion.
So yes, they are better, doesn't mean they are 'good enough' to get us into finals, and win one...or 3-4.

Again, what if Cripps decides to do a gibbs and go home?
What if Doc never recovers from his knee?
What if McKay decides to leave and play with his brother?
What if Curnow does a knee and is never the same again?
What if Kennedy never gets over his ankle?
What if SPS and Williamson get into some off-field trouble and get sent packing?

Its not a huge stretch is it?

I can't agree.

I think you're being overly negative in much the same way flyboy was being overly positive with respect to this season.

Even our worst recruits in jack Silvagni and Cameron polson look better than Watson.

Then you start putting Harry McKay next to McCarthy,  Charlie Curnow next to Menzel,  polson next to Temay,  Patrick Kerr next to Luke Mitchell,  Weitering next to Mitchell,  SPS next to Clement Smith, and realise that our youngsters already look better.

that's before you think of Dow and o brien.
