Why are we so average 6 years into a rebuild?

There is a reason why Jack was adamant that we don't rebuild at Carlton and what you are seeing unfold now is the reason.
You mention rebuild it is like mentioning restructure in a buisness. It becomes a red flag for everyone and people stop working as a team and start going into the job protection racket.
You give excuses for the younger players and gifted them games and stifled their development.
Keogh you blame the board and the recruitment and that is a minor problem.
I have been banging on for years that the rebuild will fail and no one has built a team by going to the draft with high end picks. Maybe drop down for a year or 2 to bring in talent but don't do it for years.
I was shot down on this site for saying that this was not the way to go.
Club needs to now flog it out and finish 9 to 11 for the next five to six years to build resilience in the players.
This buisness of going to the draft getting the best picks and basically blowing the place up will just lead to many more years of hardship

I’ll post in the board section Later
Briefly here
The main problem I see in a football sense is our recruiting trading and list management
It’s has been disastrous
I’ve seeing saying this for years
The last 6 has been woeful in regards to certain trades we all know about
and a lack of recruiting midfielders and recruiting good players from late and rookie picks
It simply hasn’t happened
Richmond had 9 players who were not top 50 picks in their flag winning teams in the last 2 years
In the last 20 years
Brisbane
Geelong
West Coast
Hawthorn
Sydney
Richmond
All their prime movers came from the National draft as kids
In the last 20 years when the draft and salary cap took full effect( from 1987)
Only eight teams have won flags
Ten haven’t
Chris Judd and Craig Mathieson specific portfolios are List Management. In relation to Mathieson it’s the reserves
Let’s be honest
Unless your a complete moron you know why Mathieson is on the board
He has been on their for around a decade
Judd is a smart guy was a great player
Doesn’t automatically mean you are good at this job
Should have learnt that from Sticks being the president and SOS being the List Manager
When any business isn’t succeeding the problem originates at the top
