Round 8 Preview - Carlton v Geelong

[kruddler]

This is a blight on our player development.

....

The loss of Betts and Waite to free agency is a clear result of investing a massive component of our salary cap on Dale Thomas. This was a club decision, reportedly driven hard by M Malthouse.
If we try to remove emotion and look at the facts...

Player development has been my biggest bugbear for a while now and i 100% agree.

There was an article recently that stated that we could've afforded both Betts and Thomas. So the recruitment of Thomas can not be blamed for the loss of Betts (and to a lesser extent Waite).

So you may need to remove a bit more emotion and have another look at the facts.


Good first post though.
