Love the way Carlton are going about building a list with GWS reserves players and expecting to win finals
Adelaide & Richmond both comprehensively beat the Giants in both finals and Kennedy & Smith couldnt make their senior's
Not all 1st rounders become gun players and i would say atleast 50% fail
Adelaide has done a great job building and Maintaining their level over the years , Bulldogs have built their own from home grown and Richmond have 6 role players but the main core is home grown.
If 50% of your list comes from other teams off cuts then you are never going to become a top 4 team, Sure you will improve but only to get into the 8 but never to go any further.
Off cuts are off cuts for a reason , Carlton should be concentrating on drafting kids to play their way - Too many from 1 place usually means your getting their rejects and how can you beat them with their off cuts.
