AFL Rd 20 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs Adelaide

[kruddler]

Yep, fully agree...you look at the history of all those players plus add McGovern and they miss a lot of games during the season on average so you never have continuity in the team for too long.
Its down to the Recruiters as you say and we cant be recruiting those types anymore as its not sustainable..

At the time, we had cash to spend and limited players wanting to come to us. So we took what we could get. All players are indeed talented. Just not consistently perform at AFL level, usually through injury.
So i don't begrudge the recruiters because at the time it was what we had to do.

However, as you say, we can't be recruiting those types.....ANYMORE.

Now we don't have to recruit injured players. Players will want to come to us and we can be more picky with who we chase.
Regardless of what happens in the last few rounds (and finals?) this is a new era of the Carlton Football Club and we need readjust how we do things....and recruiting injured players needs to stop.
