We have no other choice if we want to be successful, but there are a few players in our senior side who are there at the moment simply because we have no one better to replace them.
It was line ball between Sumner and Lamb this week in my opinion and ideally both would have been dropped, Buckley is lucky as well.
But it then comes down to players like Clem Smith or Vojo to replace them, and neither of those are doing enough to earn a game.
Graham is very borderline but Murphy is missing, Thomas and Byrne would replace another couple of stragglers but we'll always have injuries and our depth just can't cover them.
We are two good recruiting years away at least.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
