All this talk of picks, picks, picks. We're beginning to sound like Melbourne.
I understand the value of draft picks, and it definitely has been good that we've focused on getting draft picks and moving on a lot of the leftovers from the failed Ratten era, but it's not guaranteed that being so extreme is going to work.
The way it is going, we're going to be leaving a young gun in Cripps leading the midfield, and once Simpson retires, where are the other mature aged players to provide leadership at this club? It is a genuine worry.
Next year is going to be completely unwatchable, and god help me if we **** up some of these draft picks.
2-4 older players to provide leadership is enough, look at the dogs, their leadership comes from Bont, Wallis and Dahlhaus yes also from Murph and Boyd but my point is its the young kids that need to step up and lead the way just us much as the veterans. Which is exactly what i believe is happening here at Carlton with Weiters, Doc and Cripps. Those 3 will make up our captain and VC no doubt.
We're heading in the right direction.
