Hawthorn v Carlton -Post Match thread

[blue4life]

Media are comparing our current Carlton situation to Hawthorn with Franklin/Roughead, but that is a poor analogy. Because Carlton finished bottom those years and Hawthorn received low picks they did not deserve. They offloaded has-been/average players and talked them up as potential future stars.

Hawthorn got Roughead and Franklin in 2004, Richmond and Footscray also had priority picks that year.
We won 11 games in 2004 and took Russell at pick 9.
Hawthorn drafted very well but I can't understand how you figure they didn't deserve the picks they had, they played under the same rules as the rest of the teams.
