mmmmmm really?
Shouldn't you be focussing on continuing your 'dynasty'?
Come on.... Shaw doesn't play midfield and Benny Johnson, please....
Malthouse was playing goldeneye - he had been looking up judd's ass for a KPF
Terrible, terrible call. My 11 year old brother can come up with better tripe than that.
Gee Rohan, if you are going to put forward an argument, make sure you actually get your facts right. Shaw is no more a midfielder than what Harry 'Obama' O'Brien is & Johnson wouldn't have seen the midfield since Malthouse's early days at Collingwood.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas the Bay.
My issue is that I - being a non-Carlton supporter relativey unacquainted with its depth players - could not see where significant internal improvement would come from after 2011. Basically, I saw 2011 as Carlton at its peak - which, mind you, was able to be competitive against some of the best teams and perhaps deserved to knock off WC.
The key questions are:
1. Is there significant/substantial development in the list?
2. Is the development able to be realised whilst Judd (29)/Scotland(32)/Waite(29)/Carrazzo(28)/Simpson(28) are still performing?
If the answer to 2 is yes, then you should be pushing for top 6, you would think, after an aberration year of injury.
If the answer to 2 is no, then when is the best window - ie, will you be in a position to challenge in 4+ years when you'll have Murphy(29)/Gibbs(27)/Kreuz(27)/Betts(/Walker(30)/Jamison(30)/Betts(29)?
It seems as though the best players are either peaking or about to peak, but there are doubts about the support staff.

Will be disappointed...nothing up there but sunshine.
Who?...chunkylover54?
Ahhh...You meant to say that your 11 year old brother eats and throws up better edible offal from the stomachs of various farm animals than that?
But surely Carlton fans must be slightly distressed that they didn't pick up a kpf?
They were into lynch and cloke?
Why? Cloke always a long shot...not wise to emotionally invest in long shots. Lynch would be handy no doubt, certainly not a must have at the reported price.
Lynch looks likely to cost you a 24 yo CHF who has shown (albeit rarely) that he can play the game...and we should be distressed?
Not sure Carlton realise trade week has started. Did they get the email?

Carlton clearly feel that their list as it stands doesn't need any improving. 
. The decisions made in the last few seasons are going to send the blues back to the stone age. Say hi to Footscray when you arrive

All lists need improving but it seems Carlton are happy to use the draft this year instead of trading for club discards like Knights or Chaplin.Carlton clearly feel that their list as it stands doesn't need any improving.
Why aren't Collingwood trading for a Ruckman that could step straight in if Jolly goes down? Lynch can't ruck full time, Dawes is gone and Wood is rubbish.
They're saving-up so they can get Pendlebury in a year or two,
Plus Cloke's demands have sent Wellingham out the door

You don't have to do those deals, but there's plenty of other options in fixing your KPF issues.
Dawes - No world-beater, but he'd bring the ball to ground for Betts and Garlett.
Hansen- Again no champ, but would be a good foil for Waite.
Gumby - Carlton don't seem keen, which is fair enough already dealing with Waite. But you have to try something, or you'll fall further behind the top teams.

That's all good and well, but which of the current top 4 sides do they replace?? Crows maybe?? Hawks, Swans, Pies will finish top 4, WCE should replace the Crows.
A price most Pies fans think worth paying.

Funny that when we do trade we're apparently looking for a quick fix, yet when we hold onto our picks and develop our own kids we aren't trying to improve.Carlton clearly feel that their list as it stands doesn't need any improving.
And the best option would be get the KPP's we have fit and healthy and teach Casboult to kick straight

They'll improve it through the draft
Lots of improvement to come from within the list still. I know you make statements contradicting that, but aren't much prepared to back that up with anything but empty rhetoric.

Pendlebury, Swan, Beams, Sidebottom, Thomas, Ball all better than Wellingham.
Judd, Murphy, Carrazzo, Robinson, Simspson, Scotland also
Blues do need a KPF if Casboult and Mitchell don't come on. Waite injury prone, not sold re Hampson.

Definitely Pendlebury, Swan, Beams, Thomas, Ball and Sidebottom. That's six.
Wellingham and Blair are the next two, either order. So there's an argument he was either number 7 or 8.
He is 24 and not sure he's had a Top 10 finish in our best and fairest?
Since Carlton last made the top 4, Collingwood have made it on 7 separate occasions.
We're only just starting, plenty of depth and quality in our list, and we have the results to prove it.
