Funnily enough discussion in the forums is now centred on gaining the services of arguably the best player in the competition. It would be fair to say that we would not be in the box seat to secure Judd's services without the priority pick which has in effect provided us with the opportunity to sacrifice our much sought after draft pick no 3 as part ofour trade offer.
I am sure these anti tankers are now salivating at the thought of watching Judd in Carlton colours but the question must be asked. Do they now concede that they have lost the ideological battle and the decision to secure a priority pick was in Carlton's long term interests?

Nice try in trying to gain the moral high ground, but you're doomed to fail. You won't find an anti-tanker here that has ever said they wouldn't gladly accept whatever came up in the draft regardless of how the season played out. So if you're trying to insinuate that people who wanted us to win regardless of the situation should feel embarassed and/or defeated because of this, then you're a sad excuse for a supporter of this club.
But out of interest, if we did get Judd and he turned out to be a limping dud, does that give me permission to point the finger at you and say 'I told you so', and make a thread talking about how much of a goose you must be now? Should I take glee in such a thing? Of course not, because it would mean our club suffers. Just like we should suffer when we lose games.
Get over yourself.
Quite defensive there, obviously this thread has hit a raw nerve. Now with the benefit of hindsight, would you have preferred to have won another game or two or three for that matter or be placed in the current position that will quite likely deliver usboth the best player in the land and best youngster?.
Whilst you ponder this, I will try to get over myself.
Conundrum
Everyone here knows how I would answer that question so I don't need to waste space going over it.
BTW, if you barrack for us to win next year, does that mean YOU should admit to losing the ideological battle next year? After all, if we lose every game we'll get another #1 pick. You do want us to get another of those, don't you? You certainly would have egg on your face should another brownlow and Norm Smith medallist come on the market and you were too busy cheering us to win and thus supporting us to shoot ourselves in the foot. Unless of course you do the right thing and hope for us to lose
No doubt you would think it outrageous to be questioned about supprting your club next year, much like no-one should be questioned for doing it this year. No-one should have to admit that they are wrong about their stand on this, because it's all through a love of this football club. Both sides are right, and both sides are wrong, and most understand this. It's people like you that throw a spanner in the works because you're more concerned with being right than the welfare of this football club, otherwise this thread wouldn't exist.
And yes, good luck getting over yourself. It'll be an uphill battle I'm sure.
I don't agree with taking the moral high ground on this one, but you must admit Don, the Judd thread is getting a bit long and we need to debate something fresh.
Seriously though, to be fair, I doubt very much whether people here were barracking for losses in the first 15 rounds (or so) of this season, I imagine they wanted to win just as much as yourself! I wouldn't say that either side is right or wrong, but just don't assume that anyone here is a bad supporter if they were eyeing the prize near the end of the season.
Regardless of how it came about (I think it was always going to be ours regardless of all the tanking talk) no one here can argue that we are not in better position now that we have picks 1, 3 and 20 than if we had picks 3 and 21.
I couldn't care less about being right or wrong, I am too excited about the upcoming draft/trade period to care anyway! GO BLUES!
