Us trying to get Petracca would be the most delusional thing this club could do at this stage of the list. We need to be targeting the draft pre Tasmania and building a core of youth. Our VFL has zero depth even when we are mostly fit.
You see how great it is someone like Cowan coming on and establishing himself in the side. We need more of that, young players coming in gradually into the side. Builds a sustainable core.
I've said it a million times, the only way you win flags is by drafting and developing well. Just coming filtering in high quality youth while you have an experienced side already with enough "stars".
In saying that, trying to get Petracca would be the most Carlton thing ever....
