Watch us get beaten again next year by the Dogs, Dees, Blues, Pies, Suns and the like, just because they have the balls to pick up some talent in the trade period and off load some of their players to better position themselves to get the best youth. We will pick up another Conca with pick 12 and probably trade our 30 odd pick away for more crap...
This club...
Well to begin with we were beaten by all of those teams but Carlton this year anyway
Secondly, loosing senior players can send a team backwards in a hurry. In the short term the only side out of all of those that has probably bettered there position for next season is the Suns. Kids do sweet FA to a side for at least 3-4 seasons. What have Carlton done?? Nothing, they have a far worst list than us and have done nothing to improve it.
Melbourne have lost Frawley and gained Gartlet. The loss of an experienced player from the back line leaves them with a massive hole down there, one that can't be fixed short term by a kid.
The bulldogs have lost two senior players in Higgins and Griffen. That's pretty much equivalent to us loosing Cotch and Ellis. How do you think we would fair without those to next season?
At the end of the day short term these clubs are going no where but in saying that we we don't start getting a few later picks right they will all fly past us in 3-4 years time.
