In that case I don't think you'd have the balls to go through it all again.
Boom tish
No love for Harris, Rice and Rohrt?

We've been a run away freight train that was never very reliable that went off the rails around 2012 that we just haven't been able to pull up yet. Unfortunately once things start going downhill for a footy club it is incredibly hard and takes a fairly long time to not only stop things sliding but to actually turn things around as well. The only thing that stops a slide is talented youth coming through and lots of them. Just like the only thing that stops a rise is a lack of. At least we're close to pulling things up, pretty much because we've crashed on the bottom. It's all a matter of how long will we be here now. I hate to say it but it's looking like at least two or three years at least, more if we lose our better players 27 and under. Looking forward to seeing what SOS does with early draft picks, Really like what he has done at GWS.
Thanks. Surprised you recognised humour.
Don't bloody well try two in row now !!!
Who wouldn't with a harem.I was in my prime around then too.
I'm not Tony Abbott, Robbo.
I don't long for some misremembered past .
I want a new future.
Put the 16 cups in storage and join the 21st Century.

Felt brave. I didn't donate my balls on some nostalgia trip.

As long as you're not 'pie curious...
........against the laws of god and man ................and my gag reflex.
You wouldn't donate a knacker just to be transported back to 1978 again ??
Tony's not much of a thinker. A bit of a simpleton in my opinion.
As for the Premiership Cups. I've touched several of them. They do not represent a poison chalice. In fact I say move the cabinet out into Royal Parade so more can see the magnificence of the Carlton Football Club.

Nah. I remember it all just fine. I like to reminisce but you can never go back, just forwards. I'd like to be a bit younger though. That'd be worth considering.

Prominent position? Someone might offer us a few bucks for them I suppose. How is the curio market in Melb?
The money will come in handy.

If the "bottoms up" status quo remains until Rd. 22, the huge positive is that we will be guaranteed at least two draft picks inside the top 20 and if we can trade at least one (or two ?) of our experienced players such as Gibbs for a high pick / and or a player, we will take our first steps towards our long slow climb up the ladder.
From what I have read so far, either or both, Jacob Weitering or Josh Schache, two potential KP players, should our priorities, along with F/S picks in Bailey Rice and Jack Silvagni being no brainer selections.
Another highly rated midfielder or two would also be handy to say the least !!!

Weitering or Schache would be very handy...
But if we dont get Schache...
200cm tall forward who can also push up to the wing... nice
A bit light at the moment...198cm tall and can play at either end... like McKay... a bit on the light side.
While he is a Magpie legacy, his dad only played 28 games for the filth so he is available for everyone. Good height, good weight. Just keeps a couple of kilos more and he would be in the same basket as Schache.
Dream scenario... we keep Lachie and send him into defence to form a tall partnership with Weitering and Jaksch. We pick up Weiderman and Schache as well and slot them into the forward line with Casboult as the third tall and part time ruckman until Jack is ready to go.
However to get all three of those guys, we need to trade out 2 of our best players. The only option we would have would be trading Jamison to GC17. They need a new marshall in their defence and could use him up there. But that wouldnt get us our third top 20 pick. Gibbs and/or Murphy would get us our picks.
The club shouldnt be looking at trading either of Yarran or Menzel out. They should be forming the core of the new team. The club needs to sell the future to them to keep them at the club. If we do get rid of them... there are going to be some interesting trades happening to get us the picks we want for them. I dont see either of them going for less than a top 10 pick.

Ohh... and Weitering... virtually ready to go next year. 198cm tall and 94kg. He would slot straight into our side next year as our #2 defender.

Ohh... and if we are going for a small midfielder with pace and attitude...

Things are gonna get worse before they get better.
It's like the Pagan era all over again, but worse since it's the 2nd time in how many years that we're going through this.
I don't blame the supporters and members for being angry, we have every right to be.
