Came across under the ten year rule. I think it's fair to say that Gags' time with us wasn't his most productive in league footy.
He did OK but given we would have been paying him hired gun rates we would have been expecting a bit more for our investment.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

CAN EVERYONE STOP ANSWERING MY *!*!*!*!ING RHETORICAL QUESTION!!!!
We have had no good footballers from Carlton except for Billy Gowers. And Phil Maylin.
Actually I think one of our early VFL captain/coach/hired gun type players from our early VFL years was ex Carlton. I just can't remember his name,

If you of all people can't remember his name he probably doesn't exist.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Well, we have a history of giving Carlton good players. Liam Jones for example. You can't say he isn't any good. Why would they otherwise put him on 300k a year? See? Proof!

It's because of all the rhetorical answers! But it will come to me.
It might take a couple of weeks but it will drop into place. I'm starting to forget what the thing I was trying to remember was. So I will have a name and then I have to try and remember what it was I was trying to remember about them. "Governer General?" "Nup" Did he ride the winner of the 1989 Cox Plate?" "Don't think so"

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
Barrett reporting the AFL considering giving the saints a priority pick too. I’m not sure how much more I can take from this shambles of a league. We could seriously argue for one too on that basis. The last two seasons (this one and last) we’ve finished one place on the ladder above them and even in our premiership year they finished ninth and us 7th....ok I’m taking the pi$$ but seriously how can a side who has finished 9th, 11th and 15th in the last 3 seasons get a priority pick!? Especially considering they’ve just lost an all time great and voluntarily turfed it’s experienced players? I know Gil is a saints fan and they sent in Lethlan but they aren’t even trying to hide the fact they’ve taken over the club

It's getting to the "enough rope" stage. All we will have to do is give it a decent tug and Gil and his mates will be done.

Re: The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018
I think it’s time they did a draw out of a hat for the bottom 8 draft picks.
Then 1 to 8 go in order.
Gets rid of any idea of tanking or who finishes 9 th gets first pick then work it down eg 10 gets pick two.
These sides on the bottom for so long means they have a terrible structure, giving them another pick doesn’t fix it, it actually can destroy a kids career.

Initiating a draft lottery, the drawing of which to be televised in prime-time with Hutchy hosting and Vegas-style dancing girls is totally a thing I can imagine Gill's AFEL doing.
