Luke Mitchell hasn't even made his debut......3rd round draft pick with dodgy shoulders going to be a potential place getter?

From what I've heard he didn't make the top 7
Murphy missed 6 games and Judd missed 5 not exactly half the season.
I wonder if Pendles and Swanny will finish top 5 in the Copeland even though they missed a few games.
White had 3 knee operations over summer and only got back in the last 6 weeks of the year and after a couple of games in the 2s, he made a impact playing in the seniors.
Davies - Injured for the majority of the year
Casboult - PCL injury in the pre season and missed the first 14 weeks of the season, played 2 in the reserves and then played 6 games in the seniors and made a significant impact before missing the last game with injury.
Suppose one could lose a 24yo in Dawes for a declining 30yo in Lynch. That works.
That crappy, underdeveloped list with no depth crapped on your side twice. Thought you might've got a first hand look to understand that for yourself. seems it didn't sink in....lol!

Just as an aside, it felt like he was out for nearly half the year when he wasn't. I had the impression (obviously without looking at stats) that he had missed more like 10 games

It really felt like it for us Blues supporters, until I just read that I thought Murphy had missed about 10 games too.

As opposed to your stars going missing against Carlton in two upsets.

Only if he plays on Grimes, Chaplin or Post.
Bit disappointed with the very defensive and ungracious responses from some of the Carlton posters. The O.P and other posters ( particularly the Collingwood ones ) were genuinely concerned about Carlton's list, and were seeking solutions to perceived problem areas. I don't think they deserved the vitriol that they received.
Of course they were. How ungracious of us not to realise this. There goes a pig flying past my window.
Shock horror.
Experienced players and those in their prime (25-26) doing well in the B&F.
Oh that's right this is BF where age is more important than ability.
Carlton are just fine. Need Waite fit and maybe another KPP, but they should be pushing next year.

No he didn't everyone in the top 7 was 25 or over

What is wrong with this, I'm sure Collingwood will only have 2 or 3 under 25 players in there top 7. Beams,Thomas, maybe Wellingham

What's going on with Carlton's list?
What we've been TELLING them would happen for years; that by placing too much emphasis on the midfield at the expense of quality talls they would not develop in the correct time frame.
You reap what you sow, Carlton's poorly balanced list is it's own doing.

Good post. It's interesting you mention recruiting strategy because Essendon took a very different approach by focussing primarily on recruiting quality tall players. It certainly appears to have paid off and Essendon are in a significantly better position for the future in spite of not having the same access to high draft picks.
This is all very productive imo. It certainly seems that most people in here agree with my op that the Carlton risk is in a state of crisis. Only time will tell how deep the rot has set

No way is Essendon's list in better shape, next year they will have 2 really good talls, Hurley and Daniher, you could add Bellchambers as well. The rest are either trade bait (Hooker and Pears) or injury prone (Gumbleton). Crameri is a good forward but he has injury problems as well. I have no problem in admitting that Carlton has shit talls (Kreuzer the exception) but at least we have a midfield that can contend with the best.

Yes and Luke Mitchell is under 25 which excludes him from that group, well reasoned!
It appears you are capable of at least some basic logical thought process, now we're getting somewhere

Pendlebury might squeeze into the top 7
. Sidebottom would also be there. In fact, if Collingwood's Copeland went like the B&F medal on the Collingwood board, 4 out of the top 7 in the B&F would be under 25: Sidey, Pendlebury, Blair and Beams, with Reid and Thomas being just outside the top 7

Apparently Carlton might be after Gumbleton (just a rumour)

Pendlebury missed half the season?? And I think Sidey didn't have a year as good as last but yeah he could make the top 7. I don't like to blame injuries but this year it was our younger players who got injured, not the older ones and this shows in the BnF results.Pendlebury might squeeze into the top 7
