The Champions?
You mean the ones we bought, because most of OUR past champions came in times where the $ ruled more than anything. Or perhaps the ones from our recruiting zone which played a vital role in our success as well?
Times have changed.
People who trust something without ever questioning it are the reason why we ended up in a dire situation in the first place.
The current board has done a few ok things, but alot of that is due to Pratt's money and us being utter shite and landing decent draft picks.
We failed as a club to change the attitude of one of the leagues best players attitudes which ultimately saw him depart our club.
So there's positives and negatives always going on.
But by never questioning anything it's assuming there's only psotives which is never the case at ANY club.

30YB, why don't you get your head out of your bum for a change.
Yes the club has made mistakes, has in the past, is currently making them now and will in the future, its a management thing, players, finances, members, sponsors and so on. You know what, that all applies to myself and my own business, stuff happens, you cant get it right all the time.
Now take your rose tainted glasses off b4 extracting your head (unless they also happen to be safety glasses
Yes, the club has made mistakes, all the clubs have made mistakes, that's life, imperfect people making decisions and tough calls (partic with regard to drafting).
I always thought that debate was healthy, but Jesus not on this board, with nobs such as yourself who have become the "blue police", its an imperfect world, makes it much more interesting though
Anyway, just for you
I am guessing you are a glass is almost completely empty kind of guy. Me. I's a footy fan that has seen 6 (SIX) flags since taking out my membership, whereas some clubs (Swans, Pies, Tigers) have just 1 and some (Dogs, Melb) have none. So I count my footy blessings every day.
So if you want to paint the bleak picture you go ahead, I have fun messin witch ya anyways.
And what line of business are you in......I'm guessin you to be an undertaker.

30year a question to you, do you wonder why so many people seem to not like you? I mean I know you couldn't care less, but me and you have had a few heated exchanges as well. I think it stems for the fact that all you seem to do is continually shower us in your happy, happy joy, joy crap. Like has been mentioned we live in a reality. The CFC is not perfect and never will, much like a lot of us, but seems to me that in your world the CFC is perfect and only your opinion matters. Anyway that's my rant for today, happy, happy, joy, joy.

See my answer to the Undertaker and get your hand off it. Zones were a completely random thing, all clubs had one, you still had to recruit, talent scout, the job of a modern day recruitment manager.
Who is painting a bleak picture? Those years are done and dusted thank god.
However we should never forget those years, never become complacent, establish controls and measures to ensure the club does not begin to devolve again. Those years did happen, they can happen again.
We had two good drafts, everything is in place so we can all look forward to some happy years. Even tho we didnt get Panos, lmao!
Mess with me all you like, its all good fun
Smiths post is based upon reality, one of the better posts I have read for a long time, and you want "him" to get "his hand off it"

How many of those flags came in a time of no salary caps and recruiting zones?
Finally some people are seeing it. Harker, Malifice BB, Kramer, Splendini, TheGeneral + many more all fight hard to make their point on these forums but absolutely say relevant stuff. They can play the ball or the man but above all have relevant stuff to say which is worth READING.
90% of your stuff is completely garbage, completely irrelevant and you play the man as well. You don't help your side of an argument at all, and you're sheep following the group.
Be rude, but at least make sensible points!

Yes, we let ourselves badly with the way we tried to manage Fevola. But hey, we aint the first club that has done that, and we certainly won't be the last. But, the majority of the fault lays with Fevola. He turns 29 early next year, yet should we treat him like a child when he mis-behaves? He was asked repeatedly to leave the Brownlow, go home, and sleep it off. But he didn't. The only way we would have gotten him out was to escort him out. We've all heard the runours about him abusing Carlton staff and players during the year. Hell, he even bitched and moaned about how hot it was during pre-season training.
Anyway, back to today. Where the posters are coming from with regards to ND & RD selections is that anyone who has ever watched a junior game of footy understands how difficult it can be. It's not an exact science. And, the only argument we keep hearing is that Adelaide took Talia at #13, so we should have taken him at #12. That is flawed logic on so many levels.
WH continually picks best available, and why this is a shock to anyone is mystifying.

Zones were a random thing, BUT as a club we had one of the best.
If you knew so much you'd admit that.
So how about you get your hand off it and stop pontificating like your version of history is the only one.
And you seemed to have glossed over the part where our financial clout landed us alot of champions along the way too.

You mean people dont like me?
That too, personally although we have had some bitter disagreements on here, I think some of the things you post do have value, but 80% of the time you seem to live in another world.
FWIW I don't see 30yo as a rose-coloured glasses guy, I think he is more balanced than some of the misery guts who most likely are merely sublimating their own levels of affect...his posts are un-emotive and discuss facts....he has a low frustration tolerance, but so would I after suffering 30 years of dysphoria

You could ask Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon the same question. Not our fault we had the money to go out there and spend it on players. At least our competition isn't like the EPL, where the same 3-4 teams win the title each year.
On Big Footy or the footy field??
Whatever makes you happy mate.

Have a think about what you are suggesting. You seem to be saying that some suburbs might have something about them...what the soil??? that produces better footballers.
We had superior talent scouts able to extract maximum value from the geographical zone we had.....but to suggest one zone was better than another...I must alert David Attenborough because you seemed to have found something that anthroplogists might want to know about......
