*well, nothing happens except for Carlton fans lamenting another year of not landing a big fish and instead rehashing conversations about banked salary caps, changes in rookie list rules, favours that Hawthorn may or may not owe us, the Tuohy trade, the Judd trade, revisiting the Barassi recruitment, why trade week needs to be shortened, how we missed out on Jack Steele, is Jack Steele really a speed bump, are speed bumps an effective traffic management tool, which one of our post Matthew Allen ruckmen was the worst, would you rate Pagan's recycled player program as F or F- or F-- and more general footy conversation topics would Jack Worrall be a better coach than Brad Scott and Nathan Buckley, despite being dead for 80 years.
