I see King has tonight shared his fears for our list rebuild and the reliance on players from other clubs. The lack of critical analysis is stark. Seriously this is what they come up with after five months off?
Should have traded Gibbs, for a 1st and 2nd rounder he said..... Just needed someone to offer that Kingy!
None bar Pickett of the incoming players look like making 100 games... none of them have played a single AFL game for Carlton....
Besides, he was wearing a terrible F*^@ing shirt.
Go Baggers!
When you trade players in, it seems that they always come from other clubs :
I reckon that we have achieved a good balance of new players through favourable trades and what seems to be excellent use of our draft picks, not to mention maximising our involvement in the draft. The problem is that ex-footballers who set themselves up as experts rarely put in the work to ensure that their conclusions are based on sound analysis. As soon as King's and Lloyd's (and others) pronouncements are shown to be wrong, they'll write another article extolling SOS's genius as a list manager >
