Why didn’t our idiot administration take Carlton’s pick?

Can’t believe this hasn’t been brought up until now

You should email the club and see if they can change their mind

Imagine having someone that can get it 38 times and kick two goals.
Warner and Heeney combined for 4 goals, 68 touches, 1100m gained, 15 clearances and 28 contested possessions. I genuinely can’t remember such a dominant game from two of our mids. Maybe 2021 or 2019 i guess waa the last time

that was the difference in the game Heeney and Warner came out in the second half and dominated and the class of them.
Cripps was a classy mid short of some help, Cerra & Hewett are good players but that is their limit.
 
Always make me feel a little bit sick in the guts watching Mikie O have the red carpet rolled out for him. I mean sure seems like a great bloke and has done a lot for the indigenous youth to make up for it, but boy does the industry have a case of selective memory in this instance. Gotta be dozens of more appropriate role models from the ex indigenous players stocks.

I guarantee if you gave them the opportunity to have their time again and take the obvious option they'd still back themselves with the 5d hawks picks chess move.

It'll be interesting to hear the spin come years end when Hawthorn are top 4 and carlolton are languishing in the lower echelons.

Youd absolutely take heeney and warner over serong and brayshaw....even over gunston and bock.

It was a long time ago, early Andrew Demetriou days. Port Adelaide boys night out. Cash payouts to keep it out of the courts. All involved would have been deregistered from the AFL in current times, one would hope anyway.

Him and Hueskus (and I think Peter Burgoyne) sexually assaulted (r*aped) a woman and then paid her a tonne of hush money in the late 90s.

Hey thats potentially defamatory! But yeah. That.
 
Carlton seem to have so many good pieces. It's amazing they aren't better.

I'd be tempted to blame Voss excepting no coach has been able to make anything of that club for a generation. I guess the Blues machine just can't run without liberal applications of grease.

Carlton have a small group of highly paid stars with a bunch of average players in support and not enough mid-tier players because they leave for better money elsewhere

Problem is then if their top end (Cripps, Walsh, McKay, Curnow, Weitering, DeKoning) are unavailable or have down games they don’t have enough support to do the heavy lifting

Take someone like Owies. He hasn’t done much at West Coast but he was a valuable contributor for them last year with 33 goals - they couldn’t pay him his worth so he was let go and replaced by someone like Francis Evans. Kennedy, who’s now at the Bulldogs is similar

Sydney are actually the same but they were carried tonight by Heeney and Warner

Sides like Brisbane, Collingwood, Geelong and Hawthorn all gave their fair share of high end talent but also have a solid group of mid tier talent that play their role

Don’t know how Hawks will get top 4 without beating a top 8 team away from tas, would be a fair effort.

Sounds like the kind of issue brown paper bags of cash, outside of the salary cap could really help to address
