What are your expectations for 2017?

Maybe you are seeing what you want to see, like the stuff people saw watching McLean.

I expect this season the naysayers will keep bemoaning the selection of the likes of Thomas and White until the point their career ends. At which time I expect to hear the "I told you so" repeatedly after the fact.

Carlton needs to get as much out of the older guys in 2017, while the young guys develop, let the oldies do some heavy lifting until the kids are ready and durable enough to step up.

Well said.
I'm no fan of the Thomas deal, but enjoyed his performance earlier on. IF he can add to the leadership and mentor the youngsters, on/off field, that's just as important at this stage of our club's development.
