You are pretty good with the words Synbad and would have little trouble blowing me away in a verbal.
But the guy did nail it simply by mentioning the never say die attitude of The Carlton Football Club.And that i will take over your way of creatively tanking year in year out until we get the required talent.Your ifs,buts,and maybe's shows that Saints influence is far greater than you think.Anyone who uses the Saints model is hopelessly misguided and is losing the plot pronto.
And i dont dream Synbad.In fact you are the dreamer.You want to cleanse the club of Lance,Kouta all the old gaurd.And when they are gone everything will be perfect.What a laugh Synbad.Like all the bucks are freed up and none of these perfect types are gunna put there mitt out for more bucks.Dream on pal.It aint a perfect world pal.Get rid of these troublesome characters and
as sure the sun shines,a new lot will emerge.You only know too well Synbad that EVERY footy club has more than there fair share of headaches with wayward types.Its the law of averages.And Carlton have had heaps of scalywags and have had remarcble success.It might be all too hard for the average run of the mill club,but Carlton with its never ever say die attitude will come through eventually.

We would've been better off getting picks 1 and 4 in 2004 instead of 9 and 20? Where did you get picks 1 and 4 from?

So any chance we go for Father Sons here. Athorn Jnr to be the equal of Pavlich and Scholl Jnr something like Gherig.... After all these Jrs would be on these diets today, thats how they feed them these days.

Are they eligble ?? Prob not.

<Mick.. im not as good with words as others...

but were miles away from greatness.. and im not interested in my club being anything other than great.
being another also ran is disappointing.. we didnt find our club like that we shouldnt have to pass it on like that...

the players in question never found the club like that they should never pass it on to the other kids like that...because they will.. and they didnt do everything in their power to help our situation.. i cant wait for them to piss off and be replaced with a new generation..

Thats all!!!..

i call that barracking.. some dont!!!!...

but i see them as complicit with those players in bringing mediocrity to this club...supporting bloodsuckers at the clubs expense.

i see the draft with optimism.. i see it as our only hope.
we have the smallest recruiting staff... as passionate as they are we spend less money than any other club.. yet some people think were going to be the winners with late picks.

im a realist... nothing more.. nothing less...

and i hate la la landers..

their lack of ambition effects me... because it gives the club a message that we dont care... and 16th best is good enough... that doesnt sit well with me...!!!
