So far the club have been brilliant. Picked up Tex and Murph and JK with top 5 picks.

Had that year to boost memberships and picked up JR

and now have scored picks 1,17 19. We are almoist there. 1 more year to go before we hit ground zero!


okay so we know what we must do. We know exasctly the scor.

I suggest we tell Kouta to take a year off. Lance to go play cricket in England for a year and Fev to take a year off and be a home dad.


Then we play Batson and Aisake as our ruckmen.

And we play all the kids but in all their wrong positions

and lose all but the last 3 games of the year

Thank you Denis and the Board for the manipulation of this system (so far to perfection)
its been tough and thankless but you've stuck to the task, the plan, the dream. Thank you


Go Blues!


2007 third spoon and picks 1&2

whoop whoop whoop!

We can hope and dream, but the sheep and board will demand wins so we will end up out of priority pick range next year rather than rebuilding properly.

if only carlton had the option of tanking in 2007.
there is no tank when you really are that bad.
the list is awful. the coach is a hasbeen. minus Fevola wouldn't have won a game.

We need one more year at the bottom.. a new coach and a team that can develop youthful raw talent and were set for a decade.

I thought TalkingStuff was the natural home of childish behaviour.

A new coach is a necessity but one more year on the bottom will kill this club if we win another spoon. We need to rise above the bottom two and have a season like Hawthorn or Brisbane had this year. We have had enough priority picks to last us a lifetime and I want to see 6-8 wins next year due to the development of our young players.

Does anyone have a spare $1.5 million lying around?
