Fark carlton (Part 1)

If Fantapants can stay injury-free he’s probably the best small forward in the league.

Bit more than a “contributor“.

But nota top 10 pick, which is how FCFC defines contributors. HM’s point is compelling.

Andrew Carazzo (2003) was a decent rookie selection
Eddie Betts was a good PSD selection (2004) but now at Crows
Shaun Grigg ok at 19 (now at Tigers) (2006)
Sam Jacobs (2008) Rookie now at Crows
Mitch Robinson (2008) 40 Now at Brisbane
Zach Tuohy International Rookie (2009) now at Geelong
Jeff Garlett (Rookie (2010))
Billy Gowers (Rookie) (2013) now at Dogs

Basically any player that was selected later than first round and any good, Carlton low balled them due to their inital draft pick selection? or maybe they were sick of playing for a ■■■■ club :slight_smile: and players left

Still looking through their draft history last 15 years is pretty scary, Would have had more Hits if they let Benfti do the picking after the first round :slight_smile:

And the players that were traded for draft picks/players, Carlton have then stuffed up. Thats where its sometimes better paying overs for a quality player, so they cant stuff up the draft pick.

Final exam question

When faced with a difficult list management decision what is the best solution:

a) trade your future first round pick even if it means giving up pick 1
b) use a 1st round pick to select a 21 year old 65kg WAFL player who likes to sledge on social media
c) use a National Draft selection to pick your son, despite them having minimal exposed underage form
d) select or trade the house for a player GWS selected 2 years prior
e) all of the above to really Fark up the list

Correct Answer - E

Fark Carlton

If those kids took anything from that speech other than the realisation that Bolton is both a complete ■■■■■■ and completely out of his depth then they deserve to play for Fark Carlton.

Jacobs and Betts are/were at Adelaide.

Exactly

Anyone who wasn’t a magical top 20 pick is undervalued and has been allowed to leave - often for peanuts. Meanwhile they give picks to GWS how many times for their worst early picks.

There seems to be absolutely no ability or willingness to revise their views on kids, as they progress into AFL careers. Maybe they’re just underfunded in that dept, maybe (I suspect) nobody’s keen to say no to SoS.

history suggests draft position isn’t always that great a predictor. There’s all sorts of variables that change the picture. Eg if a guy misses 2 years, they’re well back into the pack.
But Carlton seem to hold onto “but he was this good as a U18” through for years, way past it’s relevance.

It’s like your VCE score. It means 3/5ths of ■■■■ all once you’re out into the world.

(I’d forgotten about Robinson. Another great example)
