Even more excited about 2025, especially now the Pies have signed Membrey.
But wait, it gets better.....
Collingwood's median ladder position since 2001 is.....
6th.
So Collingwood's median ladder position is only one spot lower than Carlton's HIGHEST ladder position in the same timeframe.
OMFG.

A brief interlude.
But good on you for making it through. Must've been fun times.
Hate to break it to you though, you peaked in a prelim last year and have just completely ballsed up your trade period. Won't be long now till the good old days are back.

No less than 17 players coming out of contract lol, and they reckon WE'VE got problems 
Carlton's Contract Conundrum
Carlton can almost field a team of players whose contracts expire in 2025, how will they manage this dilemma?

That should fill everyone with confidence then, given the fire sale of "best 23" players we've just seen

We have very different definitions of "fire sale"That should fill everyone with confidence then, given the fire sale of "best 23" players we've just seen
No wonder they had no chance of bringing in Houston, or any other half decent players who will improve their list....No less than 17 players coming out of contract lol, and they reckon WE'VE got problems

Indeed.
Collingwood's 'fire sale' resulted in a Premiership.
Carlton's 'fire sale' sees them go backwards from being a mid table team that hasn't contended for a premiership in over two decades.

Lol we had every chance to bring in Houston and chose not to but I know you really want to believe his first choice was the Pies

You can literally ask that question every year because every year there will be one or more A graders moving clubs. It is not sustainable to just bring in these players whenever they are available. It's all about a balanced approach to list management
And a 'balanced approach to list management' would be to ensure you are positioned to bring in a player of Houston's calibre if he lands on your doorstep, because that doesn't happen every year.
I said 3 years ago that Carlton's list was far too top heavy, and they'll find themselves in this position.
And guess what?

So your argument is Carlton are top heavy and the solution is to become more top heavy by bringing in another high salary player that isn't even a need? I'm glad you aren't on our LM team

A HB is not a pressing need. There will be another AA moving clubs next year and the year after and so on. It's simply not an argument. Carlton have done a lot of recruiting from other clubs in recent years and are now hitting the draft in supposedly the best draft in years = balance
But how often to Carlton have the opportunity to pick up these 'dual All-Australians that move clubs each year'?
Carlton are hitting the draft because they have no alternate option.

Again I know you want to believe that but Carlton had the ability to get the Houston deal done and chose not to. Club has been talking about hitting the draft for ages and Voss would not be speaking to players we couldn't bring in if we wanted to.
That's correct. Finally got something correct. Good for you!
Oh, and you don't "school" anyone!
Haven't you worked it out yet? Most of the time no-one reads all of what you've written anyway coz you sprout the same garbage over and over again with a completely biased view.
The only people on BF that take you seriously are your nuffy pie mates who follow your every word. Blind (by biase) leading the blind.
