IMO, this is the best trade & draft period we've had for probably ................... at least a decade so I was gobsmacked when I read Pelican's assessment the other day.
I'm very pleased with what has taken place so he can go 'root a boot'.
So why is the draft expert currently without employmentPelchen obviamente doesn't rate Jaksch, BSquared or DVR.
Would have gotten an A+ if we'd take Ahern and Blakely.

“It’s a good opportunity to act as a voice for the team as well as develop my own leadership skills – being part of Carlton’s leadership group one day is something that I aspire to." - See more at: http://www.carltonfc.com.au/news/2014-12-04/curnow-docherty-to-represent-blues#sthash.CBZqVVOr.dpuf
Go for it Sammy!
Go for it Sammy!
Glad to see and hear that there are a few of the boys wanting to get into the leadership group and doing whatever it takes to get there.
I hope not, we've all seen how that worked out for the EFC.

KB has attempted to turn this bloke into something he just can't deliver on. He's not a credible media tyrant, more a vague plodder typical of GuesSEN's motley crew.

Nah, no one is worse than Denham.
I actually love th run home.
Schwarz and Allen are rippers.
The Ox came down to my club one night to do a talk. Ripping guy.
Have heard very good things from a friend that has had dealings with Schwarz.................but not so nice re. Brownless.
Allen is a shocker and I fear he may drag Schwarz to his level.

Sorry to be a party pooper guys & gals.
Have just cleaned up 3 pages of golf/drivel.
You can all blame thylacine60 for derailing this thread.
By all means golf and general sports can be discussed in The Blue Room in the Gen Sports Discussion thread.

Another bitter attack on Carlton and its "money" culture. The article had some good points, but single-ing out Carlton as a club that buys success is clearly incorrect.
Apparently we are led to believe by Jack Niall (yet another person in the media) that the only club that used "chequebook recruiting" in the VFL/AFL during the 1970s to the 1990s was Carlton. Apparently Hawthorn never recruited John Platten, Buckenara, Abbot, Jarman, Ben Allan and Darren Pritchard amongst many others. North never recruited Barry Cable, Glendinning and Malcolm Blight - those guys never played in the VFL apparently and they never were lured over by money.
Poor recruiting is only part of the problem, what about the AFL head office's attitude towards Carlton in relation to other clubs?
Has this writer analysed why North Melbourne gets over 10 million in AFL funding more than Carlton since 2006. Could that impact on how a team goes perhaps? 10 million in the bank surely helps. Why did Hawthorn get the Tasmanian deal alone etc from the AFL? Let's write an article on why elements of the AFL doesn't consider Carlton a key plank in its growth. That would be an interesting article.

It's Jake Niall what'd you expect. Isn't he an Essendon supporter?
Whilst some valid points are raised, most are applicable to all clubs. and so easy to judge in retrospect.
Thing that strikes me the most is the almost complete disregard to the trade sanctions / fines that were imposed by the AFL in the early 2000s for our salary cap cheating.
Our club was gutted, almost to oblivion.
We have taken our licks, hopefully learnt from these mistakes. Its articles such as this that will make the next time we hold that cup aloft the sweetest of them all.
I will hope that we do this with dignity, but with the firm belief that we are once again the greatest f'en club in the AFL.
OWWK, I know we will be again.

Seemed like a fair assessment to me.

He makes some valid points and exposes some home truths which we might not be comfortable with, but as OWWK says, we have been working on addressing those issues over the past 10 years or so, coming from a long way back. Niall is the one living in the past, writing a piece like this now. The Elliott era is long gone, and while Pratt may have shared similar views to JE, we needed a Pratt at the time for our very survival.
If Niall is indeed an Essendon* man, I'd say this article is mainly motivated by a desire to distract from a far more poisonous club "culture" - one that persists to this very day - over at Essendon*. Win at all costs, their club is bigger than the league and the sociopathic belief that rules apply to everyone else, but not to them.
