Should we chase Josh Schache?

Fair enough but we still cannot kick enough goals.
We have built the defence.
Next the midfield. ( we are all getting old )
Now the forward line as we find the backline is too old..... Start again.
I know it is a process but sheesh, we are all clocking up years as we watch our club sit at the bottom of the ladder. It's like it is the inverse of the ladder we grew up!  :o

Good post.

On the glass half full side... we are playing 9-12 kids less than 20 years old and we're in most games and have actually won 3.

With the common theory being once you get more than 2 teenagers in the team you won't win we really shouldn't be winning ANY games. Whilst we're in this period of not being a contender it's easy to miss the fact we've got the most exciting list in the AFL - bar GWS.

Things we've never done prior to SOS arriving:

* Actively trade out experienced players to get draft picks
* Nailed 2 drafts
* Nailed late draft picks like Silvagni, Williamson, Mcreadie, etc.
* We've got more former first round draft picks on our list that any other club (bar GWS).

The next step in the process (as I understand what Trigg/etc. have said) is to hand pick some more experienced midfield support to combine with the draft talent we've already brought in to create a premiership contending list. I really hope we can get a Jones / Kelly / etc. to actually choose Carlton. As we know it's one thing to want it's another to get.

All of this guarantees nothing but gee it's good to see us doing things properly for a change.
