Carlton Supporters Club

You are the one who made the assertion that we didn't take advice in your statement below!

So I appreciate you are ignoring the advice reported at the time that Buttifant had told Malthouse that Daisy was capable of making a full recovery, you write it off as smuck advice, fair enough. But you are making an even greater assumption that independent medical advice about Daisy would have been negative.

You don't know, you are just guessing and throwing darts!

Dr Baresi advised McKay and MM  not to recruit Daisy after examining him. They did and Baresi resigned.

Whats your source of this information?

I can't say or my identity may become apparent.

I see, so speculation then.

I'd assert that if the Carlton club doctor resigned because the club staff ignored advice regarding the recruitment of a player, and that ultimately turned bad, it would be all over the media.

Our club leaks like a sieve and there is nothing about this anywhere, but you are telling me two senior staff ignored a Doctor's advice and made a stand-alone decision, the doctor would not even have to say a word and our club would have leaked that like diarrhea!

We should have taken medical advice ahead of some schmuck's belief that he has the heart to work through the injury.

There's no point defending it, the only question is how McKay has survived it.

You win some, you lose some.

That's an unacceptable excuse. The facts were there on the table, they were deliberately ignored. It wasn't a calculated risk, it was an abhorrent decision.

In hindsight, it appears obvious.

Judd could've backfired more though.

Imagine if he was shot. We gave up Kennedy, pick 3 and pick 20 for him.

At least daisy came for free in terms of what we gave up.
....NO....we didn't give up a first round compo pick, we never had it!

Daisy was never a Judd. Daisy had not played decent football for 2 years. The two simply do not compare at all. IMO.

It doesn't compare because it hurts your argument too much.

Use Brock McLean if you want. He was also shot, hadn't played decent football. Gave up pick 11 (12?) for him and he was on 'big' money at the time.

He was a dud, until he got his body right...after 2 years...then was an important part of the midfield - 'fab 4' material!

Beggars can't be choosers.

Daisy was 'taken' with pick 67 essentially. That was the next available pick that we didnt use because we got him as a free agent.

If you prefer we took pick 67 instead of daisy....good luck to you.

Take it whichever way you like. I know it to be fact.

Huh? We gave up a first round pick as compensation for Betts. Talk about not acknowledging something because it hurts your argument. Don't even bother questioning what we would've got for Betts, been proven a million times over. And let's not question the wasted 700k_ per year of our cap. The whole thing has been a terrible error. Only those with an agenda would even bother continuing on with your argument. Just let it go, dud decision made for all the wrong reasons = dud result. EOS.
