If you have value, you will be shipped off for a high draft pick.
If you are a high draft pick you will get games no matter how poorly you play.
If you are a battler, you will get dropped the first sign of a form dip.
If you play poorly, the coach will cop it in the neck and the whipping boys will wear the fallout for your inability to perform your role, irrespective of how much time someone like Plowman spends covering up someone elses mistakes.
Players develop in spite of us not because of us, and most players fail to develop because of us.
Rinse, repeat.
THIS is the mantra of the Carlton footy club. 22 years later, THIS is what we stand for.
It's a major worry if, after 6000 players in and out, we still draft and trade players who pick and choose. SOS picked a fair few players on our list, and if he, of all people, can't recognise blokes who will play for the jumper and put in 100%, then we really should hand our licence back to the AFL, and just relive the glory days over and over. If what you say is true, we are really just wasting our time. I don't believe it's true.
