I'm judging it just on the best team we can put on the field in 2017....compared to the best team we could put on the field in 2016

Do you think the 2016 side was better Kruds?
Its simply too early to tell.

You discount Walker/Jamison from that because they had minimal impact.
Who do you discount from this season for the same reason?

Maybe simpson succumbs to his age sooner rather than later.

You dont know

I said I'd let folk know if I'd changed my mind about our finishing position after round 5 or 6.
I picked 9th to 12th
Yep
I've changed my mind.
We're not interested in winning at the moment. :(
I hope they know what they're doing.

I'm sticking with bottom 4 like I said initially...2-3 wins max.....

I'm not so sure that we are not interested in winning. I think they know we will very much struggle to win games...which will cause dramas. So a bit of misdirection, and added benefit of sorts, is to play the kids. Keep the wolves at bay a bit.

Me too Lods.

My prediction now is bottom two.
I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

I don't think the primary goal is to tank but to give as many young guys as much exposure to senior footy as possible. This is the agreed agenda right across the club from the board down. Of course if we also happen to get some good draft picks out of it too then all well and good. I am now going to just try to watch the rest of the season with some academic detachment and hopefully see our youth develop.
Reality always wins in the end.

Darcy Fogarty welcome to the Blues  8)

190cm mid/forward who is an early leader in this year draft for top five pick.

kicked 10 goals for glenelg last week and six goals yesterday.

He is what you call an attacking midfielder - similar to Fyfe as he is super overhead but smashes the scoreboard like no mid I have had the pleasure to read on.

Will see him run out for Adelaide in under 18 state champs.

You know, I woke up this morning (da da dah da daaaah), and there were a number of highly fancied teams located below us on the ladder.....  I'm still confident that no matter what 2017 brings we win our next flag before a stack of other clubs.

The last thing we need is a year in which we win enough games to qualify for picks outside the top couple as we need to keep building.  Stay the course Carlton or hand the keys back and turn the lights off.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I think they're doing a controlled list management program that will provide a large number of young players the opportunity to experience senior football a bit before they normally would. ;) ;D

No he wouldnt. To my knowledge, Lods is not a Bullcrapting, thieving, self serving prick.

We'll probably finish bottom two, rusted on supporters like people on this board will keep buttering up but some others will drop off, and we won't be attracting very many new supporters or members that's for sure and certain.
The danger is that a long and painful rebuild will badly affect our long term viability with no guarantee of success, the one bright spot is that if we beat Collingwood in a fortnight they'll self destruct.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.
