What are your expectations for 2017?

[ElwoodBlues1]

EB1, besides player development I think the on-field leadership has been the biggest void at our club, what is it worth if we could actually find a player willing to come to us?

I fear that we'll play the youth before they are mentally and physically ready and the lack of leadership will effectively throw them to the wolves. The opposition will damage them permanently from a Carlton perspective, and then when we are tired and frustrated with their lack of progress from those youth we'll trade them out only to watch them become stars in the fresh environment.

Lets not let other ALF clubs make our youth their bitch, lets be smart about managing them!

LP.....GC and WC both went after players ie Barlow and Mitchell to provide on field leadership and in Mitchells case Premiership winning experience......the difference between them and Daisy is they can still get a kick and contribute on the field...Daisy was cooked when we got him, 750K for what we got would get the hirer sacked at most companies....
Dont disagree our youth need leadership and guidance, we just picked the wrong player at the wrong price....you put Sam Mitchell in our team and see what he would do in comparison to Daisy....
