The Adelaide crows recruiting smells of Carlton of 2000.... trying to steal 1 last premiership with an ageing list and giving up top draft picks to do it....
Look where Carlton are only 2 years later..... Adelaide are right on track to be joining them in a few years to play for the wooden spoon.

EXACTLY RIGHT CHRIS!!!!!
I mentioned it in another thread, we recruited Oreilly, Mansfield, Mckernan and look where we are now.
If the crows are serious about long term success rather then short term just-making-up-the-numbers-in-the-8, they should forget about 'buying'
a premiership next year and start rebuilding...their list is quite old.- Mar 24, 2003

Is it?
Carlton were in a Grand Final under 3 years ago.....
Eagles were unbeatable at one stage of 1999 unbeaten on top of the ladder and went on to make the finals.... 2 years later we were almost bottom for 2 years....
It doesnt take very long to go from a top 4 team to a bottom 4 team. Just ask Carlton..... and remember this when Adelaide is there in 2 years.
So who's retiring in the next 2 years....... Ronnie Burns? Wayne Carey? Mark Bickley? Riccuitto? Nigel Smart? They are in more trouble than they can ever imagine... and they are throwing away #2 draft picks like confetti.

Bickley retired tonight. And Ricciuto is 27, still has another 7 years left in him.

HAHA 7 years left in Riccuito? Are you including his 4 or 5 years as an assistant coach in that?

Jakovich will probably retire next year.. yes... he is hardly an integral part of our side... playing CHF or bench.. he is the last of our "old players"
Ben Cousins is 25 years old.
Michael Gardiner is 24 years old
Chris Judd is 20 years old.
Daniel Kerr is 20 years old.
I am guessing they arent going to be retiring anytime soon. We are a finals side with one of the youngest lists in the AFL.
Adelaide are a finals side with one of the oldest.
I think I know who should be the team keeping their #2 pick and drafting youngsters.
I'm talking about the main reason Carlton got the spoon so soon after making the finals regularly.
Not surprised you didn't get it.
As far as the Crows go, no I don't think they made a good decision by recruiting Carey either, so what that's their problem.
The reason they made the finals though is not because of the players that are about to retire, and certainly not because of Carey and Burns.
Ricciuto's form in 2003 suggests he could play for 7 more seasons, but with the physical way in which he plays the game, I doubt he would still be playing at 34.
