Round 5 preview Carlton v Collingwood

[Woodstock]

There's not much point dropping players if their replacements can't play.  Similarly, there's not much point promoting players who haven't done enough in the NBs.  In fact, to do so would be to encourage mediocrity.

IF we had sufficient depth and IF we had blokes playing out of their skins in the NBs, your option 2 would work well.

But that very stance breeds an acceptance of "it'll do"..Brice Gibbs says hello. You'll never get depth if the draft picks done get games and aren't window shopped.
