Hmm or if we didn’t lose all our senior players and still drafted Cripps (which Rogers would have) then we would have had a pretty solid senior side. Anyway doesn’t matter. Go Dees.

Cripps and 19 fails from 21 selections for Rogers. No point going over the horrendous record of Hughes and Rogers again though. Agreed it doesn't matter, I just can't handle the sliding doors
posts for Ratten when we were going nowhere anyway until our recruiting was overhauled. Go Dees.

Not at all.
I really don’t appreciate that.
As in 2017 my rumours are accurate and valid.
Yours?
No rumours from you, just pot shots at people, impressive.

Oh what could have been if we supported Ratts and got him the help he needed instead of turfing him
Too right, a disgraceful decision that set us back a decade.
Agreed! I wouldn't be opposed to giving him a spot either.

Well said. I have Shane Rogers pinned to a dart board at home. I hate that guy.

Coincidentally Rogers used a dart board as his recruitment strategy.
Mid first is probably what McGovern is worth accounting that he has a few years on his contract so it's like the Gibbs situation. 23 year old who averages just under a goal and a half and about 13 disposals in a mostly good side is pretty decent but he's not quite a top 10 draft pick, at least not yet although his best footy should now be ahead of him and he could become a player worth that quite easily. On Potential he's a top 10 pick and a superstar but he's not there yet.
I like the type of player he is. You probably look at that type and the elite ones are Dustin Martin, Jordan DeGoey, Jack Darling, Josh Caddy etc. 190 odd cm tall, strong powerful athlete who moves like a midfielder and jumps and marks as strong as anyone. The good teams all have them and we don't.
For all we know he might develop into a player who has bursts in the midfield and kicks his goal or two a game like a lot of these guys do and gets 15-20 possessions a game, then he'd be a superstar. But who knows. He definitely has the potential and they probably know that.
You would hope the PP would get it done. Adelaide have the right to be demanding and so they should. Let's hope the AFL come to the table and help out. He's probably going to fit quite well into our forward line really.
I think we're dreaming if we think our second rounders will do it. We just haven't got them under enough pressure.
Certainly need some strong bodies in the side who don't have glaring issues with speed, mobility and skills.
People suggesting Shiel is unlikely keep forgetting GWS are under cap pressure. If the rumour is true that they are over by $1.5M next season then they will be losing more than just Shiel. His salary won't be anything near that. You would suspect that's 3 of their stars gone or equivalent value. Probably try and trade a few of these guys who are on their second and third contract and are in and out of the side for various reasons but still, if the figure is true at least one big contract will have to get squeezed out.

Wouldn't be surprised .That's what I hate about the media... They criticise Carlton yet fail to highlight the guy most responsible. Absolute Muppet who ruined our club. Absolutely ruined our club without a doubt

O Kono No
It's a yes from Chin.
Terrible club culture, terrible drafting, no list manager and terrible list management. Whoever was coach, regardless of how much talent was there, they were always going to fail.
The total clean out that has happened and subsequent bottoming out that has had to happen stems all the way back to the John Elliott era and every half arsed attempt to run and fix the footy club in between then and now. We'll be fine, just going to take a lot of work, a little luck and time and patience.

Everyone
It’s very disappointing to be attacked by one of our own and because of it I’m signing off.
I’ve enjoyed posting a blend of good natured humour and information as it gets relayed to me be it Mark, Matt, Shayne, or Andrew. (A significant mix of club people and friends/ journalists)
There’s a very exciting trade period to come. I hope you enjoy it.
To the few who’ve liked a lot- thanks
To others: I hope you go well in the future too.
Go Blues!

Yeah, stupidity reigned between the late 90s and 2015. No guarantees, just hope. Our kids can play.

Why do people insist on attacking posters who relay what they hear. Passing it on adds to the site. I appreciate reading posts from RoyalBlues and others knowing full well some will come true and some not. That's part of the enjoyment. I really hope RoyalBlues continues to post.
We all want Carlton to be successful.
