If you were serious you would trade all your draft picks every year for ready made players.
Hardly, because unless you had a Weitering type pick to trade the quality of the ready made players you would receive in exchange would be average at best.
Every club also needs to keep its list fresh, unless as in North's current situation they are rolling the dice for a Premiership, so I've got no problems giving young players a game here and there.
But no-one should ever under value the advantages of competing at all times to win and the mindset it instills in the players, as Carlton supporters we should appreciate it more than most.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
I know sentiment shouldn't come into it but I actually felt sorry for Gorringe.
Totally out of his depth and you could almost tell by his face a couple of times he knew it.
Talk about being thrown in the deep end : 
Nice acrobatic goal though.

Bolts explained in an article I linked elsewhere that they went with Gorringe because aerobically and athletically he was better able to match Goldy. I think Bolts knew that neither Wood nor Gorringe would be able to out ruck TG.
I'm sure the selection was based on the fielding the best team to win, but he didn't really have much to work with.

Phillips is going to be the future more so than Gorringe. Not sure the latter will be at Carlton that long. He's not that good. So a choice right now, it I had to choose, would be to play Wood. Need the strong bloke in that position. To me right now, play them both.
Don't have a problem with playing them both but too soon to write off Gorringe totally IMO. He may turn out to be useful ruck depth or even elsewhere but we have to find out - only one place to do that with a guy who's been around a few years, as he has.
Reality always wins in the end.

You seen hellbent on fast tracking these kids who need time to develop, get a full preseason behind them and learn their craft in senior company. I'd be happy not to see McKay or Silvagni get a look in for the rest of the year. If you want to pick them because we want to win every game we play in, 18 yo players are not your saviours. If you want to play them to develop, well let's do it in a sequential, measured way.
We have all been seduced by Weitering and his progress. Weitering is a freak, but he too will need to be monitored carefully in the back half of the year.
Be happy with the progress in 2016, but get excited about 2028-19, it will be fun!!

Youre making it sounds as though fast tracking them and giving them game time look dirty.

Melbourne tried to make a savior out of Jack Watts.

Yep. There's a reason we are squeezing every drop of footy out of Jamo and Walker.
The kids are not ready and weeks of 100 point thrashings ruin clubs.
