The fact that the Blues are apparently behind on player payments will not help the on feild performance - there may be even deeper problems at the club than these cosmetice changes suggest.

Kernahan will be welcomed in his new role as Lofts was not popular with many inside or outside the club

What's this about us going for Carey? Are we freakin mad? I'm starting to lose a bit of patience with the club.

Carey - don't waste your money. He is old but will benefit from a full season off and has maybe 3 yrs left in him. You'll have strong competition from Sydney, Collingwood will throw their hat in but I doubt he fits in with Malthouses long term plans.

Richardson - the most overrated footballer in the competition, and I've seen nothing to change that opinion in the last few years. If Rixchmond sold him their fans would burn down Punt Rd.

Leppitisch - Didn't even know he was available. Can't see him leaving Brisbane especially considerring he would be on the short list to replace Voss if he threw in the captaincy. Will definitely be the most expensive and hardest to get.

That's a pre-requisite for being drafted to Carlton though isn't it?
