The Hawks would be short a couple of premierships without 'recycled' players.
Only s**t teams recycle players.....That's the way it works, surely.
Hang on.......Hawthorn.......1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11..........That can't be right can it Crawf?
EDIT: Ehhh.....Jabba & Kramer beat me to it.
I know we should stop banging on about what the 'experts' say, but how hard is it to do a little research?
I hope some of them (I know for fact that at least two) actually read what we have to say about them......I wish they'd talk back.

This is the real reason why Rogers got the flick. He went over the magic quota of "10" with the #19, Jaksch, Whiley for #7 trade.
I have 11 but may be wrong.
Didn't Simpkin come from......Geelong?
McEvoy...Gunston...Burgoyne...Hale...Gibson...Frawley...Spangher...Ceglar...O'Rourke...Burgoyne.
Anderson came directly from GWS. Recycled?
I'd take our current batch of recycled than the lot Pagan brought in.......
Such a narrow minded approach.. Lebron must be a average also......

Burgoyne, Lake, Gunston, Hale, Ceglar, Frawley, Gibson, McEvoy, Spangher
Too many recycled players to be successful??

More than ever it's about getting the right players at the right time, into the club.
God forbid we acquire Dangerfield and Treloar this year.........We'll be the laughing stock of the competition.

Definition of recycled has usually meant guys who were either delisted or unwanted at their old clubs. Other than Dick, Wood, Tutt and Carrots that doesn't apply to the others. Another case of media members trying to validate their claims with horrible evidence.
Not to mention Guerra who retired a year ago who was a double recycled player (former St Kilda, and former, former Port Adelaide player).

Not too sure what Hawthorn's list has to do in a 'CARLTON IN THE MEDIA' thread!
Relates to Crawford's article about Carlton having too many recycled players/players from rival clubs.
Cookie Monster was trying to counter his illogical argument by highlighting how other teams like Hawthorn have used a large number of recycled/players from other clubs, your honour.
I don't think that Tutt was unwanted as much as he didn't want to be at The Dogs any more.
Wood was picked up after a year at Williamstown and as insurance on the rookie list......hardly a huge risk.
Dick, because it suited our age profile and was preferred to a rookie at 60+ odd.............no big deal.
Carrazzo has turned out O.K. for a recycled player.
If I recall, Geelong didn't want to lose him in particular but he just wanted opportunity that wasn't being afforded to him at The Cats.
Anyway, who cares.........Maybe Crawford would if he read what we've had to say about his........prognosis........maybe not

Geez I hope we do well so we can engage smug mode.
It's almost as if those in the media are trying to make up excuses to substantiate their collective notion that we will be crap this year. The round table thing on Fox was like watching a massive circle jerk around each other. Apparently our list is terrible and the only reason we won 7 games last year was because of Mick.
The good news is it is now on us to prove them all wrong starting Thursday night.

If you get worked up by every less than stellar article about Carlton your blood pressure will skyrocket.
Hopefully our results will speak for themselves this year.

I don't bother reading any of the predictions from so-called 'experts'. It is a given that they won't have done much research & will just regurgitate the same old stuff. If you were to believe some of the 'experts' over the years, the Top 8 would permanently stay the same.
On a side note, I happened to be reading an article by Matty Lloyd, which was about the EFC doping debacle, & somehow he managed to include a prediction that we are no chance of winning a premiership within the next decade. The sad part about all of this is that these gooses get paid to provide these opinions. Do media bosses think they are getting value for money?

Lloydy should be telling us who the ~44 players will be on the list in 10 years from now.
I'm sure he must know who all the board members will be in ten years time, along with the CEO, coach, recruiters and footballing department in general, as without all that information, making such a sweeping statement would be stupid at a very high level.............hang on.......you did say Lloyd.......carry on.
EDIT: Kingy may have said 20 years.
Yep, missed Simpkin.I have 11 but may be wrong.
