    The AFEL like to make things more complex don't they? Add in making it a two day grab for attention, and possibly hand grenading priority picks around, then FS and NGAs, and their make up of FA compo despite the criteria they have. I guess it makes for a very interesting time for Power and his team.

    We were at the bottom when GC and GWS got all those picks and now if they hand out two to GC and Carlton do we make a case for our own as compensation for being shafted by the AFL?

    I wonder when the AFL realises that it’s the culture and the development at the clubs that lets players down and giving them a top pick more likely destroys a kids career than improves it or the team.
    Eg Carlton have had so many first round draft picks and are as bad as ever, do you keep sending kids to a club hoping the kid fixes it or do you say no more destroying kids careers, get your club and development in order first.

    Don't be silly. Getting stuffed around by the AFL is our Raison D'ĂȘtre.

    Pretty soon a kid will refuse to go to Carlton and he'd be well within his rights. Footy is all about challenging yourself and improving your game. Carlton are so far from being that environment at the moment.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Are there any players at Carlton worth looking at that may have been abused by Carlton's inept development that we might be able to rescue?
    They've done studies you know, 60% of the time, it works every time!

    Apart from Phil Maylin and Billy Gowers have we ever recruited a decent player from Carlton?

    Did Simon Minton-Connell play at Carlton before we got him? He racked up a few clubs IIRC
