Here's an interesting thought about Sunday's game.....

After all the tears and disappointment, the only actual outcome of the day's events was that St Kilda moved from Pick 5 in the draft to Pick 7.

So, as they say in the classics, who actually won?
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

They did.  Shows we were the only crap truck team to tie their on field fortune to the draft and paid for it by breeding a culture of not winning.

You'd have to wonder whether the failure of those players mentioned was more development or recruiting.

I have believed for a long time that development coach/team is every bit as important as the match day stuff. Also, it is much easier to develop in a strong side with a good culture than in a weak one - better physical and mental support on match day, on the training track and just around the club.

Yes, i completely agree.

I tend to think back in those days it was very poor recruiting (both at ND and Trade). We seemed to land players that no one else wanted. When I think of development, I tend to think of the kids or less experienced blokes. Some of the ones in the lists were experienced guys who were brought with a view for them to fill a role. They were either hacks or passed it. Just my view.

Alex at least filled a role and played some decent footy for us. His problem was he was a reluctant footballer and an even more reluctant inhabitant of Melbourne.

Alex was fine, if for nothing else the cover he did on Buddy more than once!

At the time he gave us a harder edge we just did not have!
