Opinion The 'Carlton related stuff that doesn't need it's own thread' thread Part 2

[Arr0w]

Neither has achieved compared to expectations yet - both still developing so far.

 

[fnm_just a man]

Same, same.

Neither would be anywhere near the top 10 from the draft class. Same goes for Paddy Dow.

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

And selective. Sydney were into LOB IIRC. Don't think many here think Sydney recruit soft.

Yep, they were desperate for runners that draft but the guy they wanted was the guy they got. Lob was the choice if their man Ling didn't make it.

 

[katmanblue]

Who said O’Brien was soft?

Not Soapy, that's for sure.

 

[thylacine60]

Apparently other clubs are laughing we didn't take Richards, yet LOB has better output, now that's fun

give me a club that doesn't have draft regret, hasn't stuffed up a selection, has thought they could develop a player but couldn't, even dodged a bullet more through good luck than good management..............

Look he does remonstrate . Lay off him.

But they had a pick after us?

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

I meant going into the draft they had plans on ling with Lob a backup. They had both as first round talents but I don't think they thought we'd grab lob. Maybe sos knew they had eyes on him.

Can you show me one draft year, where the first 10 players selected, turned out to be the best 10 players of their draft year?

That’s not the point I’m making, but as for that particular draft, if limiting it to the top 10, ours are clearly 9 and 10.

And?, who cares where they rate now as individuals, it is what they can add to the team

Or wish they waited one more year of development !Fogarty

Riiiight ... doesn’t matter which way you frame it in this case ...but if you want to try that angle - the answer would be a resounding ‘not much’.

In your opinion

Example

Brandon Ellis was selected at pick 15, has won 2 flags, will have a better career than some selected in the top 10, while others will be considered better footballers, yet none of those top 10 have won a flag, as yet

Ellis's output at the GC is similar to those Tiger's years, yet I doubt anyone would consider him much more than a B grade player

What a player adds to a team, is more important than how good he is compared to his cohorts

No doubt.. and most people are aware of the ‘role players’ in any premiership team ... but not sure what that has to do with LOB/Dow - the answer is still a resounding ‘not much’

I can't believe he said carlton were the only club interested in him after he decided to move clubs!

Someone in our professional/mature-scouting department has pulled off a ripper here, if so.

half an hour listening to this entitled w***er - what a waste of show.............
