Whys that?

You are delusional if you think we have a list that could play finals in two years.

All Bolton has to do is develop these kids over the next 2 to 3 years so long as we see improvement each year.

Next year will be as much as the same as this year, i'll cop that so long as we flood the list with good talent and have the right people developing them

We are not a destination club yet. We are 3 to 4 years form playing finals so why are we targeting 24+ year olds? They don't want to come to a club thats several year from playing finals especially when they have come from a club that hasn't played finals.

The BIG mistake the club made actually Andrew Mckay made was coming out at the start of the week saying we have interest in all these players. Just say we are going to build the list with as much talent as we can acquire and look forward to going to the draft to do this.

Now that we have missed out on all these players he linked us to, all of you will crack the sads.

Steven Trigg has been saying all year we will rebuild through the draft and will only consider trading picks if something extraordinary was available.

I know you have your critics but I can't really fault this post...

I can fault it plenty, but what's the point?

That supporters (and possibly management) shouldn't get ahead of themselves and assume we are trading for serious finals contention just yet perhaps?

Port and the Essendon**** both think they're closer than they actually are. Let them top up with a Rockliff and Smith. Will set them back long term.

Kennedy has nominated us, and the deal will get done. We will pick up another elite midfielder with pick 3. Everything is going according to plan.

O say does that star spangled banner yet wave.

Because, your suggestion that the club will accept 2 + another 4 years until Bolton delivers a competitive finals side (that's f***en 140+ games in the first lot of kids), is what's delusional. You're working off Richmond 1990's decade long youth policy there.

If we can just add Kennedy and Dow or LDU this year it would be a great result

totally agree.

We are making a big play for Tom Boyd.

not sure why

As he is a star?

And by bargain, it would have to mean not a trade pillaging nor a salary cap one.

straight swap for Levi and I'll be ok with it

Ruck/fwd that doesn't kick goals?

With a side full of youngsters we led 13 games in the last quarter. All that with a decimated midfield.
With a fit Cripps and a bit more help in the midfield, another pre-season into our extremely young back 6, I could see us pushing for the 8 next year. Perhaps I'm an optimist but I have faith in our young blokes coming along quite a bit next year.

As for missing all of the players linked to us. Our main target (Kennedy) has nominated us.

Silvagni outlines Draft strategy

http://www.carltonfc.com.au/video/2017- ... t-strategy

Boyd was superb in the 2016 grand final.

Would get him for the right price. If we dropped from 3 to 11 (Bombers pick for Stringer) I'd seriously consider it. Dogs replace Boyd with Trengove.

On another note, I'm struggling to see how the Bombers will get these deals done. If it means trading themselves out of the 2018 draft, good.
