CARLTON president Mark LoGiudice has defended the club’s list strategy in the wake of scathing criticism from former Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd.
In Saturday’s Herald Sun, Lloyd suggested the club’s list strategy under Stephen Silvagni was “half-baked” because they had recruited too many players from other clubs “who just aren’t good enough”.
As many as five Carlton players could make their debuts for the club in the blockbuster season-opener against Richmond on Thursday night, including Billie Smedts (Geelong), Rhys Palmer (GWS), Jarrod Pickett (GWS), Alex Silvagni (Fremantle) and strong midfielder Zac Fisher (pick No.27).
LoGiudice hit back at Lloyd, saying the Blues’ list build was on the right track.
“He (Lloyd) has got a view and I think it is an uninformed view, but that is OK,” LoGiudice told the Herald Sun.
“We’ve got a strategy, we’ve got a plan and we are sticking to it.”
Carlton won seven games last season but has become the third-youngest squad in the AFL this year, after another round of aggressive list changes.
The Blues bolstered their recruiting team over summer, enlisting former Greater Western Sydney talent scout Paul Brodie as national recruiting manager, after serving a 13-month ban for betting.
Silvagni has already warned fans the Blues may face a “rocky road” this season and is no guarantee to notch as many victories as last year.
But LoGiudice said Carlton fans would be encouraged by the young players’ effort and development.
“I think they will see a young side that is going to give it everything,” he said.
“They’re going to go out to win every single game and that is what you will see.
“There is no doubt those young players will be tested at times, and it will be challenging, but it will also be very, very exciting.”
