There is a reason the spine is called a spine in football. Its important piece that everything is built around.

We are rebuilding, but not with foundations. We are doing it with fluffy pillows, wallpaper and a change of curtains. The main structure is largely being ignored, and its only a matter of time until the cracks show through and the real issues can no longer be ignored.

Why does it have to be built that way?
Who made that rule?
It may be 'traditional' list building but who is to say its the only way

SOS built a spine but failed with the other bones the heart, muscle

I'm sure Dean, O'Farrell, O'Keefe, Smith, Ison and others don't see themselves as fluffy pillows

I'm sure all the players we've ever delisted didnt seem themselves as fluffy pillows either.

It doesn't have to be built that way, but its tried and true.
SOS didn't fail, he was cut off before he got to finish.
Austin has had longer and done less.
Tell me what players SOS inherited that could net him 3x 1st round picks via trade. Hell, a former pick 1 only got us 2.

Austin has been piggybacking off the back of the value SOS added and continues to do so.
SOS didn't have anything of value when he took over.

I'm sorry but whichever way i dissect the list, i can't find any confidence in the current regime, nothing close to what you guys seem to have in it.

Look this is pretty pointless.
You and I aren't going to agree.
So I'll finish up here...

I'm pretty sure SOS had signalled his intention to leave anyway and they brought his departure forward.

He may not have had anything of value, but he still cut the guts out of the list and then put it back together with some average players from other clubs  (many of whom he drafted) and some poor draft choices with early picks.

He had a great first draft.
Picked up Walsh, an easy choice for pick 1
The one he does get a bit of credit for is TDK.

But enough about Silvagni
He's no friend of Carlton.

Bottom line here is you sound like you're going to have a pretty miserable summer fretting about all the ways we can drop further down the ladder.
I on the other hand will be looking forward to the first practice games to see the "New Carlton"
