I'm surprised about the angst by some towards White and Rowe, were you surprised how bad they were today. I appreciate their endeavour but these two would not be on any other list and in fact would have been delisted years ago. Thus says a lot about our list.

On the issue of our list we have so many one dimensional types, Lamb, Sumner, Lebois, Pickett etc can only play forward. I doubt they can play through the midfield, something we are screaming out for. Most of our list are either forwards or backs, where are our mids? And I'm not talking about midgets and 60kg midfielders that we have stockpiled.


Yep ! thats the problem aint it B4.....................nobody there who can get a kick where it really matters.We got killed in the guts.All these little flashy quick types aint worth a cold pie unless they can get a kick in the eye of the storm.Front and centre.They are real sheep dogs for mine..............how the hell do you expect guys who are not high possesion winners at junior level to come in to senior football and all of a sudden become ball magnets......................for eff sake get some kids into the joint who know how to get a kick.......................i will repeat,speed is the most overated commoditee in footy.


In the last 2 years we have drafted and traded for players who have trouble finding the ball (so far)... not something you can easily rectify!

You would have thought having the ability to get the ball would be a priority...


Petrevski-Seton averaged over 23 possessions a game at Colts level in 2016.

We have publicly stated we expect to go backwards this year and that attitude is definitely showing. We need top draft picks to build this list going forward and finishing bottom will deliver that :thumbsup:



The mentality of our club ..... enjoy people.


Yep. Pathetic. The club has been sending strategic messages via mckay and sos and the members forum that the club will go backwards...

The club had.no dedicated recruiter for 2 yrs of the last 2 years of the National draft but are prepared to secure re treads and.rejects from other clubs to fill.the list

Enjoy the decline folks....


Don't worry MF - some of us have been watching closely and quietly. Need to give newbies a chance to prove themselves......


I accept that surrey but this is the crux

The club decides to get retreads.in rowe white gorringe lamb jones Daisy sumner kerriage wright jaecks ...even plowman (who hasnt set the world on fire) in what i believe to be the reason being that its better to lose by 80 points rather 150 points with pure kids.

The list.is shot to pieces imo ....there are too many "tryers" add buckley (who wont make it) and armfield and Casboult

If the club was run properly we should have had a 2nd string side fully developed in the reserves and ready to go...even with the new coach ceo and president the reserves arrangements are still diabolical as in the past

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

"We" would still bag the shit out of Jordan Russell who captains the Bulldogs's seconds.

Who needs sugar coaters when our venting wrist slashers make the Blues the polar opposite to Essendon*'s deluded apologists?

You should pass on pacy wingman like Simpson for ball magnets like Nick Graham. :smile:

I know it's a tough call, but in the past we didn't have the coaching staff and management to make the most of those picks. Hopefully now we have got the right people in place - and it appears we have - and we just need to build the list. A boom recruit would do wonders too, and a real one, not a washed up former top liner like Thomas. We are still hamstrung by guys like Thomas and Jones, and duds like Jaksch.

As always the challenge is to build the list while winning enough games and showing enough hope to keep the membership at decent levels. The Aints have done it so why can't we ??


A boom recruit like Judd? Waste of money.

Do you really believe that this rebuild will work where the others failed?

Actually I thought we were 44 games into our 66 game rebuild already, or did we give up on that one and we've started a new one?

44 games ago we took on Richmond with Malthouse in charge. Your math is way off.


Weren't we in rebuild mode under Malthouse in his last year, I thought that was what the board told us...all these rebuilds kind of blur together because we've never actually finished any of them have we?


Then again I remember the days when it was maths, not math.[/quote]

You're the one telling the story. I think not only your math is faulty but your memory too.

If you can find anywhere Malthouse engaged in a rebuild at Carlton, good luck to you. Malthouse directly rebuked any rebuild. So he got sacked.[/quote]

So is it a rebuild when the coach says it is or when the board says it is, or when some guy on an Internet forum says it is?

Do rebuilds only start on draft day or on match day?

I don't think we're rebuilding, really we've just been renovating for the last 20 years....

Schmook must have been in the bar White at one stage had 2 Carlton players spreading hit Aints guy on the chest
As someone suggested contributed to bucks injury
Gave away a shot in goal square with a bloody stupid two high contact
Did the Dosey do with Rowe free kick to Aints
Was shocking
Decision making deplorable GET RID of him

Had a few mates too but with him Daisy Rowe Jones Bokehurst being our senior leaders god help us

Kerridge was ok but commits too many skill errors

Just to point out little bits of fake news that we slip in to try and bolster arguments.

So in what world is a 23 year old who's played 18 games considered a "senior leader"? I'm talking about Blaine Brocklehurstbridgestein.

So you were wrong saying we're 44 games into a rebuild. Very wrong.

I would say SPS and Fisher can win their fair share of the ball.

Have generally picked KP otherwise - the right approach given the time it takes for them to develop.

So lets assume we actively sought a state league SA player that swans delisted and a quality player with career ending permanent broken ankles .the decision not only to secure them but to subsequently keep them is worse than first suggested

I have said it before saint's brought in as many kids
through the draft as possible they didn't give away any
early draft picks until they stocked piled there list with
enough talent once that was done they then targeted
Players that they needed Not like us over the last 4 years
we have gave up at least 10 first and second round draft
picks that is where our biggest mistake is made and the club
is to frighten to make tough decisions on players who do have
trade value to trade them

Agree with SPS and Fisher..

How about Cunningham (in the TAC), Sumner, and Lamb?

KP's do take time, and Harry has been injured which hasn't helped, but he wasn't a big accumulator in the TAC... hopefully he can remain injury free!

PS has not been sighted . Fact is we dont draft ball winners .We get dinky types who great attributes in a lot of areas but dont get the pill.And if you want to say put up or shut up then i actually have.Have recommended at least a dozen kids from the VFL who have all been drafted but were not AFL standard by our recruiting gurus.Understand you have so many choices and you cant fit everyone but we have had far too many misses.The coach can only work with what he has so i hardly think he can be criticized,but he has only so much time before people are entitled to question.
