Think you'll find that at the end of this year, with a lot more salary space, we'll get better experienced boys.
Let's hope so, the only experienced player who has worked out for us in the last decade has been Judd.
You make a very good point, Carlton is just not seen as a desirable destination for better class 100+ game players and that will probably remain the case until we show some genuine improvement.
Meanwhile we have to trust in youngsters, it's much more risky than established talent and our record at identifying quality kids leaves a lot to be desired.
Think we have a few nice young ones coming through. Thought there were a number of good efforts individually. Functioning as a team, well that's a different issue. Structure could've been better. Too tall in defence to start with. We just lacked run coming out and lacked run through the midfield. Our forward line of paper looks ok with Weitering, SOJ, Pickett, SPS, Wright and to a lesser extent Levi but if we can't get it in quickly enough to get one on ones then any forward line will look bad. We seem to lack the ability to balance both attack and defence. Tiges just rebounded way too easily through the corridor and had way too many one on one's because of it. That slaughtered us.
No need to play White or Thomas. Get some run in there. With Weitering forward we still need Rowe and with our ruck stocks we still need Levi.
