Draft picks are overrated. Why risk drafting a bust when you can get three s**t trucks for the same price?

Carlton should trade it for more picks, players or a combination of the two.
But certainly not the kind of players Carey was referring to.....
Carey is a prophet. Carlton, let's do business.
And two weeks ago Wayne thought we were on the right track. All those nose beers catching up...rofl. Haven't we been smashed in the media all year for having too many recycled players on our list?
They're all ex-GWS players, I think he's taking the piss.

Great point.Filling up with C grade players will get you competitive but it won't get you to a grand final, so what's the point?

Great point.
Which is what confuses me about Carlton supporters' perception of the Judd era.
From their perspective, that era was a success given they played in a few finals without ever contending for a premiership, simply because they came from such a low base.
I have debated ad nauseum with Carlton supporters on this forum about the success (or otherwise) of the Judd era.Eh? You must know some strange Carlton supporters. We haven't had a successful era since the 90s.
You're definitely confused, I haven't heard one Carlton supporter say that era was a success. They say the Judd trade was a success, which I think they are probably right and it was a win-win.Great point.

So by throwing all of their eggs in one basket (Judd), how can they on one hand say the trade was a success but his era wasn't?You're definitely confused, I haven't heard one Carlton supporter say that era was a success.

Your view is in the minority based on the people I know personally and others who post on BigFooty.

Spot on.You're definitely confused, I haven't heard one Carlton supporter say that era was a success. They say the Judd trade was a success, which I think they are probably right and it was a win-win.
Yeah this is a serious issue. We circumvent this issue by paying food coin to the likes of Wright, Lobbe, Jones and the like. The AFL need to ensure clubs can pay less money when times are tough.A lock for the spoon and nervous about what to do with pick 1.
Now I'll tell you what's very wrong about the salary cap and why the AFL isn't helping bottom clubs with their rules.
Clubs like Richmond, Geelong with a heap of stars, Swans with Buddy plus, GWS with a squillion high picks on their list are paying roughly $13.5 mill.
Carlton full of spuds, or Melbourne in the Neeld era are/were paying that list of spuds $12.8 mill.
So the difference between a list of stars who are performing and a list of non performing potatoes is just $700k!
It means most of Carlton's list is massively overpaid and it's only a modest "War Chest" available to lure stars. Have I got this right?
Jesus. Carey has lost it.
If I’m Carlton, I’m certainly looking at a deal where I can turn pick one into 8,9 and 13 from Adelaide.
I’m securing a Sloane, Gaff or Dahlhaus. They must surely have the money.
And I’m going after a Whitecross type. Someone that knows what it takes and comes from a club with good culture.
In: Sloane, Dahlhaus, Whitecross and 3 kids for example: Hately, Caldwell and Valente.
Carlton’s problems come from seriously poor management. Espicially in the list department.
Sloane at 28/29 is probably the wrong age to be throwing a long contract at. Yes to Gaff or Dahlhaus, and to trading #1 for 2-3 good picks. Massive no to trading good picks for (more) fringe players!
16, the fact there is so many people out there who avidly hate us proves my point.Nobody is jealous of Carlton, you’re a laughing stock, you need to understand this instead of constantly making claims like this.

If you aren't 1st, you are last. Your acceptance of mediocrity is why your club has 2 flags in 100 years.Ah yes, 16 flags and all that. Because those 16 flags are saving you from being a laughing stock now hey? Making you feel better that right now avoiding the bottom four is a good season?
What good is success long before many footballer watchers now can consciously remember?

Just so you know, we could care less what any of you think so do yourself a favour and save it for someone who cares.
