No point arguing with Synbad because all he has are unsubstantiated, irrelevant and illogical opinions that can not be supported by facts. It's always been that way.

I'm just so glad that Synbad isn't running our club because all we would do is lose 18 games every year for 5 years and then win a premiership or two (if we're damn lucky) and then go back to losing for another 5 years and so on....
Let me just repeat what he said ... "NO OTHER WAY OF ATTRACTING AND FASTRACKING..." So basically trading is irrelevant. Development is irrelevant. Support services and coaching is irrelevant. All you need is 5 years of high draft pics and you win a premiership. Man its just so simple, why didn't I think of that!
Think I would rather follow a team that wins 12-20 games a year and is always in contention to win a flag than a low life, loser of a team that finishes near the bottom each year just to get some early picks. Which don't guarantee success anyway. Personally i would prefer to win a premiership the hard way... the ethical way. Developing what we have. Shrewed trading. Forward thinking recruiting (good use of pre season picks, rookie picks, NSW picks), Father son pics, etc etc. Also taking the draft picks we get based on where ever we finish by playing our best team week in week out and making the best choices by having the best scouting department in the league. If we get to round 19-20 and we have no chance of making finals, then it is in our best interest to give the kids experience by playing them. Discussing this at round 5 is dispicable. It's non Carlton.
I think Synbad has been hit by Mike Tyson a few too many times.
