The Richmond flog did okay.

If Bolton listens to Mark Maclure then I give it away.

If Bolton wants some outside advice, go talk to Malcolm Blight about confidence and positive play.

The rebuild is just another goose that is going to lay the golden egg.
We tried Pagan that didn't work
We ran with Ratten and got Judd and didn't work either
Then Malthouse
Now it is the rebuild that will lead to the promise land.

It's just another Messiah complex . Youth will lead us to glory

MLG announced this rebuild at the beginning of Malthouse's last year.
People have conveniently forgotten that the 66 games have come and gone and the club is still heading south

Plenty of AFL endorsed brown paper bags getting around nowadays. Might as well, but first you have to get players to come.

Going into this year is you knew by round 5 we had the players missing that we do, what would you be expecting?

Also your whole post makes no sense. A messiah is based on an individual leading us to glory, what we are trying now isn’t that

In this case the individual is the rebuild.
For some reason people think that slashing the list and going to the draft is the only solution to the promise land
If this was the case a year or so back we had 4 pick one and 2 pick twos .
We should have been dominating.
Since Pagan came in we have been slashing and burning the list almost every year.
We have been letting experience walk out the door on the premise that they would not lead us to the next premiership.
This club has slashed enough it is time they stop blaming the list and work with that list to get them playing better footy.
4 x No 1 and not one of them has taken the competition by storm. It either says the draft assessment is wrong or the development is wrong
I am convinced it is the latter.
Sydney Hawks and Geelong have so very ordinary players but none of them have 4 number ones like we had.
Going to the draft and topping up on youth will only work if you have the system in place for them to develop further.
Carlton obviously hasn't otherwise this top end would not go backwards once it arrived.
The players need job security and as 42 players will tell you that doesn't happen at Carlton and hasn't since Pagan walked in the door

If we can hold onto Docherty, Williamson, Cripps, Marchbank, SPS, Dow, Curnow and a few others for 3 more years and get some good senior players in through trades, and then do another 44-66 game build we will be fully rebuilt.

Original 66 game rebuild seemed a little optimistic.

And then after 3 years plus 66 games, Docherty will be in his 30's and it'll be time to rebuild again.

First part yes but not the second.

Weitering not in your grouping there... ?

There is some truth to what you are saying no doubt. Between 2008-13 we had a relatively stable list though, when we were happy with our core side. Also that invoices giving job security by giving multiple year contracts to guys who didn’t deserve them (Davies, Bootsma, Warnock, Graham etc)

I agree we have to stop chopping and changing, but the idea this time we would do that after we had got enough young talent in. We are in the process of that now, so stopping now would be another example of a muddled mindset.

Good clubs hold their nerve in situations like this, we have a history of not doing that previously.

I’m not really sure what you are advocating we do now, I think what we will be doing is trying to develop what we have and add more young talent via the draft and trades.

I don’t think we need to deviate from that and offer mullet, kerridge, O’Shea and graham 2-3 year contracts
