I had a nightmare.

Fast forward to the year 2020.

Murphy, Gibbs, Walker, Kreuzer are all retiring. They got close to playing in a premiership so many times. Once within 1 goal. We made three grand finals and two preliminary finals, but could never snag the premiership. With those four retiring the experts were predicting we would have to bottom out to rebuild our list, and our next premiership opportunity would be at least 5 years away. It was 2020 and everyone was thinking about the painful grand final losses and how those four players wouldn't join the pantheon of Carlton legends to play in premierships. They would still be Carlton legends, just without the customary premiership medallions. Funnily enough the eight wins in 2008 didn't come up that much.

That is one of the most insecure ramblings I have ever made the mistake of reading.

If you honestly believe we will not pick up any more good footballers over the next few years you are kidding yourself........

We're going to struggle if we don't have top two or three picks and Wayne Hughes is our recruiter.

"Yawn" Someone please change the record..........the soundtrack is just becoming a bore about now.

Getting back to the game, here's who I think they should play

Shaun Grigg — Setanta Ó hAilpín — Bret Thornton
Heath Scotland — Jarrad Waite — Ryan Houlihan
Kade Simpson — Nick Stevens — Paul Bower
Jordan Russell — Adam Hartlett — Bryce Gibbs
Eddie Betts — Brendan Fevola — Cameron Cloke
Shaun Hampson — Andrew Carrazzo — Marc Murphy

Mark Austin, Jordan Bannister, Ryan Jackson, Matthew Kreuzer, Aisake Ó hAilpín, Simon Wiggins

Name a team that has won a premiership with a bunch of high round draft picks. play a different record your boring me with your logic

FF you should know by now BO is happiest when he is moaning and complaining. Some people are just wired that way. The simple fact is I doubt he is ever happy unless he can bring everyone else down to his level of despair.

Brisbane, Port Adelaide, Sydney = concessions.
Geelong won last year but they were very lucky under the father son rule.
(Consider Ablett, Scarlett Hawkins waiting in the wings too, all three number 1 draft picks).
Yo uneed draft picks/concessions to win premierships these days. It's the way the system works.

West Coast had some extremely good recruiting (which we don't seem to have).

Which part of high round draft picks didn't you understand.

BO is partially right. Either Ackland or Cloke need to play, but its more to protect the bodies of the younger ruckmen, not because he's more likely to win a ruck contest.
