Seems like its tank tank tank for years to get number 1 draft picks and build your side around them together with paying unders

There were a lot of Carlton players from other clubs last night: Setterfield, McGovern, McDonald, Williams, Saad, Docherty, Pittonett, Hewitt, Newman, Kennedy, Fogarty, Plowman.Seems like its tank tank tank for years to get number 1 draft picks and build your side around them together with paying unders
Taking the politics out of it, they look very very good atm. Structurally pretty sound, maaaybe a hole down back, couple of smalls showing a bit, Mackay and Curnow are totally dynamic when on song, a freak athlete junior ruck, plus Cripps and Walsh. Confidence booming. We know the feeling when it all turned around for us.
So Teague and Bolton and their recruiting team would be grinning like cheshire cats...and expecting some credit no doubt! Early days but looks like good times ahead for their supporters. We know the feeling well. They looked young, quick and lively and our blokes looked the opposite last week.
The (apparent) rise of Carlton has been a long time coming. They have had ample first round picks plus a big injection of external talent that presumably has maxed out their salary cap. Say they play finals this year, even finish top 4, how will they improve from here?
The player managers will be lining up for pay rises if they have a good year and they can't fit them all in Curnow and Cripps would look good in Yellow and Black
That's one of their specialties at Carlton KK, fitting everybody in the salary cap.
Oh c'mon, give them a bit of credit. They have recruited well and had their spine sorted for a couple of years now with two very good players as their bookends McKay and Weitering. They just needed to fill in a few more holes and add a touch of class. A fit Cripps has been the missing Link in their midfield. Such a shame we picked Ben Lennon instead of him.
I don't like Carlton all that much but the days of brown paper bags under the table are over.
The days of brown paper bags under the table might be gone but you can’t bring in the likes of Cerra, Hewitt, Saad, Martin, Williams, McGovern and Newman and not face some kind of salary cap squeeze. Just recently, we saw a similar scenario play out at Collingwood.
Especially whilst at the same time, providing much larger contracts to Walsh, Weitering and McKay
Serra was offered $750,000pa 4 year deal by the Frockers and he signed on with Carlscum supposedly he accepted much less to play for them
Probably because he's originally from Victoria, and believes that Carlton are much closer to a flag than the dockers are.
What can't you do on $650 000pa over 4 years that you can with $750 000pa over 4 years? Buy a 4th property?
BTW I'm just guessing what his salary is at Carlton, no idea.
Yeah right and I'm zippadee the fairy godmotherSerra was offered $750,000pa 4 year deal by the Frockers and he signed on with Carlscum supposedly he accepted much less to play for them
