The best was that Crow Till I Die bloke who consistently told us the crows had to beat us because they had a significanly better percentage than us.
Could be worse... end up at a perennial wooden spoon club.
I have been hearing about your talented kids for over a decade now.
It was countering the claim that you'll most likely finish 15th when realistically you'll most likely finish16th.
Come on mate. You were fighting an admirable fight (despite losing) and then going and spoiling it all by making a terrible judgement call on O'Brien who you clearly haven't watched much of. Name one second year player in your team that is going as well?

Why not? The equivalent 1st rounder might be consider better than the actual 1st rounder. Wouldn't you prefer Pick 21 in last year's 2018 strong draft than Pick 16 in the 2017 weak draft? I would.
So what you are telling us now that an equivalent to a 1st rounder that you keep telling us about is in fact not a first rounder?
All about opinions....like yours, mine and Montagna's.Not what you have heard? From who, Cal Twomey? Again that just reiterates that you probably watch next to no junior football. While it maybe a little late, sit down and at least what replays of full games and form your own opinion. The likes of Anderson (who I rate as a clear standout this year) and Rowell (who I don't have in my top 6 currently) would struggle to be rated in the top 10 of last year's draft. Walsh was so far ahead of this two it is laughable as a comparison and I don't rate Walsh in the top 5 long term
List Mgmt. - Carlton's 2018 Draft Thread II
From what i've read, if you had to put your house on one of these players becoming a star you'd put it on Walsh. However if there was a guarantee all players will fulfill their potential then there would be a few ahead of him.
Even a guy like Smith had considerably more impact than Anderson and Rowell, which he has continued to show in his first season. I will say again, this draft is similar to 2016, where there are strong selections throughout the first round
No, I didn't have the Demons in the bottom 2, probably like everyone else, but it does strengthen what I posted at the start of the season. At least a 1/3 of sides don't finish close to their predicted ladder position, which strangely enough seems to be repeating this year, just like every other year. Take a look below

Who has the AFL's best list heading into 2019?
And this back in January this year, yet you say the first 4-5 games is too early to make a prediction. That's the number of wins you lot predicted, most have missed the mark (including some of our own)

Late 1st rounder is equivalent to an early 2nd rounder, I was told I should use the "equivalent" to the posters that lack football knowledge......
Justin Reid thinks so, but he is almost the equivalent of a list manager.
I said right now, in all the loses in the last month, at least we were very dominate in the 1st half, I didn't see this at all this week.

Sunk cost isn't a bargain.

Top draft prospects rated ‘better than Walsh’
Two of this year’s top AFL draft prospects have been rated ‘better than Sam Walsh’ by some recruiters.
The demons came bloody close to winning against wce..just fell short so you can't say it was a ridiculous call. Lets see where things are in 4 rounds time as i and probably most non carlton supporters would expect carlton will have an uphill battle to get wins in their last 4 games because the quality of opposition is very good
Sunk cost isn't a bargain.
yeah but ABAB says that the picks they gave up for gibbs were in a weak draft! everything magically just works out for the crowies!
That's my point, some recruiters has said it (and it's where I got my information from) and I think there was a separate statement by Montagna that he also agreed.Maybe you should read the article, Montagna isn't suggesting it, he states some recruiters do. We all know they never have bust and pick the best player available at each pick, don't we?
