The sooner Carlton realise that the era where you can simply buy premierships has been gone for 20 years, the sooner Carlton will become successful again. Carlton have advantage they need to do well at AFL level, but they're still living in the 1980s and just assuming because they're a big club, it will all happen for them.
No worries - so if Carlton recruit a big-name player we are living in the '80's and trying to buy a flag.
If Port Adelaide do it I assume it's 'crafty recruiting' (eg. Ryder) ??
