2017 Round 5: Post Game Prognostications: Carlton vs Port Adelaide

[Gointocarlton]

I don't care who we picked, they were all appropriately rated by us and other clubs and they all failed to progress at our club including those players who left to improve at another club!

The fact that many left our club broken should be a warning to supporters about how our club develops younger players, and keep that in mind relative to our current youth tactics.

You can blame the list manager for some of the mix, but in those cases the coach also gets some blame, the list manager generally acts as instructed.

You can't blame the list manager for players who leave and get better, or players who fail to achieve / reach expectations, that is clearly not the list managers job.

Do you expect the likes of Cripps and Weitering to be re-signing three years from now if the sort of sh1te we currently deliver persists? Will they be physically and psychologically damaged beyond repair? Maybe they'll just be more busted kids on the way out by them!

If the club and players start to improve, doesn't that mean we no longer get low draft picks we say we need, or do you think we can improve with mid-range picks?

Do you really think Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer trades will attract low 1st Rnd picks?

Lets just agree to disagree on this one LP. You think development could have made them good AFL footabllers, IMO, Jesus Christ couldn't have developed those spuds I mentioned into AFL std footballers so we are poles apart on this. Its a new era now, we seem to be on the right track (at least I think we are), it will take time and we need to be patient.
