Under estimating their top end which is elite.

Sloan, Walker, Talia, Sauce, Betts, Laird, Smith and Couch brothers are all AA material so can carry load for others...role players will always be role players sometimes they step up to elite sometimes they dont

Adelaide shafted us with Sauce and Betts and will not happen again nor ever again
You shafted yourself. You can blame Malthouse for Betts, especially.

You had 4 ruckmen in 2010. You really dug your own hole chasing Warnock from Freo.

How did they shaft you with Betts? They didn't force you to spend a few hundred grand a year more than you were paying Betts to sign Dale Thomas.

Anyway, Adelaide may win a flag in the next 3-4 years. Carlton would be about 10,000:1 to win one in that time.

Going so well until that very last sentence.

Not a very sensible and well-thought-out thing to write.

I actually agree. What were Richmond's premiership odds at the start of this season? The last 2 years has shown that anything can happen. Carlton winning a flag within 3-4 years sort of seems highly unlikely, but ya' just never know.

7, 4, 7, 6 wins the last four years.

Gibbs, Kruezer, Curnow 29 next year, Murphy 31, Simpson 34. Some pretty ordinary players in the 22-27 bracket too. Some good players in the 22 and under bracket but slim pickings otherwise. All signs point to success being a ways off yet.

I can accept being ruled out next year as it is still within the period of a 3-year rebuild. But come 2019, we will be in tight with the rest of the competition and 2020 onward is our aim to do significant damage.

The 'some good players under 22' is more like 15 young very promising young footballers...hardly some it's a substantial part of the side. Add to this Docherty who is 23-24 and Bryne who is 23 our future looks very very bright. I'd be happy to write a list of these young guns. Add Kennedy and Smith from GWS and we are briming with talent. How many young guns do west coast have under 22?

Crows going the right way about it this season and doing all the work behind closed doors before gloating to the media.

It's a shame it's probably a season to late for Gibbs to make the difference they desire.

There's a big difference between having an opinion on an opinion forum (which I standby, I don't rate SOS as a list manager but that's my prerogative), to posting inflammatory remarks the day after a Grand Final. It just shows a lack of class and poor taste given the circumstances.

If the comment was "Adelaide were rubbish and Gibbs could have helped Adelaide with their drive out of defence while negating Graham" then sure, it's a valuable opinion that actually adds something to the discussion- but to make a sarcastic comment/joke regarding Adelaide's 2018 draft pick and Gallucci's performance- just shows that being apparently the role of being moderator doesn't involve setting an example and acting with any class during discussions.
Everything you said makes complete sense but your opinion on SOS's list management is just bizarre.However it's your opinion.

Just because they are under 22 doesn't mean they are very promising. Some are, and some will become good players.

The reason you have so many born 1995 and later is your talent pool born 1990-1995 is and wasso shallow. Sheehan, Casboult, Phillips, Jones, Smedts, Lamb, Sumner, Boekhorst, Kerridge, Buckley, Docherty, Byrne, Graham, Plowman. I think the technical term for that is 'yuck'. And that's not including the 19 in that age bracket who have come and gone.

For whatever relevance it has we have 9 players Cripps' age or younger who have debuted and 5 yet to debut. Some look good, some too early to call, some I don't think will make it. But the our 1990-1995 bracket isn't garbage so it isn't crucial every one becomes a star.

I gather your a west coast supporter.If you are get ready years of pain.No youth at all,band aids all over the place,an overrated ruckman that's always injured.If you aren't don't worry about Carlton too much even though you seem to have plenty of opinions about them.We'll be just fine.

I'd rather have Carlton's list rather that west coast. Only down hill for you blokes and up for us. 5 of those players on your yuck list would be walk up starts at west coast, the others barely played for Carlton. They are depth that will get turned over in the next two years.

How does Weitering, Cuningham, Charlie Curnow, Docherty, Cripps, Marchbank, Pickett, SPS, Silvagni, Byrne, McKay, Plowman, Fisher and Williamson sound? All look to be very good future footballers with a few elite A grade talent in there. Add pick 3, Kennedy and Smith and you have arguably the most exciting young list in the comp.

Also,perhaps King M and FS Silvagni B and Hickmont W. in next year's draft plus a big fish? After the final clean out. 2020 will be knocking the door down of top 4.
Of course we need to continue to fine tune Development, Coaching and Game plan too.
Judd as director of footy 2018 onwards will be a watershed year things will move along very positivity.

You're probably both young, but I remember Carlton in the 90s. A strong side which was the last remnants of the 80s sides where John Elliott just bought success.

I remember Carlton from the 2000s, too. Utterly feeble, but 3 #1 picks in a row plus Judd were going to lead you back to the pinnacle. You would've beaten us in 2011 if Waite was fit. Etc. That was your last legit finals appearance IIRC.

I like Brendon Bolton and the work he's doing, but your list is still ordinary. A bunch of GWS off casts, underwhelming #1 picks and journeymen doesn't strike fear into anybody. Bring West Coast into things if you really want but 2 of the top 5 in your B&F are 30+ and this thread is about trading another who is currently 28. Might want to worry about replacing your own players first.

Nice come back. Totally engaged with the suite of young players I listed. You just wait and see. The mighty baggers will be a powerhouse club in a few years. Get in your digs now if you must. Anyone who watches and follows Carlton know we are building such a strong core moving forward.
