The GC have arrived and the GWS are coming.

GC play Hawks at Metricon next Saturday night and we ill find out how good they are. I reckon they will be very hard to beat at home in 2014. GWS play WB at home next Saturday arvo and could be 3-1 after that

Look at the tackle count

They have huge problems there. They need to start from scratch right now. delist the players not conducive to success and get the right ones in. Get rid of everyone up top that's been a part of the failure. and Start developing a culture; a good one.

I can't work out if their first round picks are shit, or whether there are larger problems at the club.

They were going to be out of the 2013 and 2014 drafts but as "a good will gesture" they took themselves out of the 2012 draft when they'd have had a pretty crappy pick anyway.

Looks like the Dees are going to be bottom. 20 points down halfway through the last quarter.
And remember, they lost their 1st and 3rd picks in 12, not 1st and 2nd. Having said that theiy did use their 2nd pick on Angus Graham so lmfao anyway.

This is the fourth time they have done all of the above.

Yeah the AFL probably took pity on them for that alone lol, will he ever debut for them? Pretty sure if Jacobs went down they'd use Mckernan, Jenkins & Pods all ahead of him.

Renouf may cop a lot of crap for being average but he's a much better depth ruckman than that spud.

Also, having Mick strapped to a heartrate monitor is in particularly poor taste.

Hard to fathom why either he or Carlton would have allowed that.
No worse of a shoddy gimmick than the actually funny Star Wars rivalry t-shirts the AFL tried to release before they were blocked by Carlton.

NUFC, YES.
I wonder if sacking ratten was a bad move afterall
It was a delusional move, thought they were on the cusp of a flag when they actually need a pretty heavy rebuild.

Did the same thing selling the farm for Pagan when SOS, Bradley and Kouta were riding off into the sunset just as the cap breaches were due to bite.
