Have you done a historical on selection 36 ? It's slim pickings for the past 20 years. Pies have their work cut out looking for a diamond in the rough with that pick

Yes, it would be daunting for a team like Carlton.

But for strong teams like Collingwood, we generally succeed with the challenge of identifying and developing talent beyond the top 10 draft picks....

Boy oh boy... Rumour mill has it that the Blues have secured a deal for Pick 3 with the Weagles while the Pies Houston play is up in smoke with good ol Leppa at the wheel... Oh my.

congrats, add that to your 50 other top 10 picks which has helped you to a high of 4th in the last 25 years.

Jeepers.

The top draft picks must be cringing at the thought one of their careers are going to be ruined by Carlton moving up the draft order.

Poor kids.

I love Carlton.

For more than two decades, they've gone the quick fix with no success.

Now, when they have the top end in their prime ages, ready for a tilt at the flag, and they need to go hard to complete the jigsaw, they go the medium term view - 'We're going to the draft'...

Long live Carlton mediocrity.

Or maybe the Carlton hierarchy agree with that they aren’t contenders so are going medium term … does make the pick swap with hawthorn odd though

you barely left the MCG.
you played essendon twice and walked away with 2 points instead of 8.
you were completely carried by N Daicos (and the umps) who didn't miss a game.
you were gifted dodgy wins by the umps vs. north & adelaide.

yet you had 'significantly worse' injuries. you realize we were almost breaking records for the amount of players we had on the injury list, don't you? we had 27 players to pick from in the final game. every bit of evidence shows collingwoods injuries were no way worse than carltons - except some magical one you made up of 'top 15' which literally nobody else uses.

Odd table it thinks hawks were relatively smashed by injury but I thought we actually had a good run.

Good to know that there are strong teams outside of the top 8.
What happened to happy Houston day yesterday - your ITK fatjesus was all over it.
Hope it works out for you all today

He doesn’t look like it but geez Houston is a smart man. Knows Pies are cooked.

In that 25 year span you refer to , Collingwood have had more top 10 national draft selections than Carlton. Its a really really cool story you came up with nevertheless.

Yes but we traded for most of those. You've had more bottom 10 finishes than us and we've finished above you in twenty of the last twenty five seasons.
