Pivotal draft selections

This is why I fear that eventually Carlton will become a good team. It is like Melbourne, when you are rubbish for so long even with poor player development eventually the sheer number of talented players coming in leads to some success.
We never had that when we were rubbish because we had compromised drafts with the suns and the giants coming in

Correct plus the added free agents and players developed by other clubs Williams,Saad,Cerra,Hewitt who have shown quality its a matter of time and im afraid it will be in 2022 as they have the easiest draw and have been put finals on a plate for them

With the state of their list they should be contending in 22.
16 players under 23 (we have 19) and only Sam Walsh is any good. They're not a young upandcoming side. One bloke over 30.
All their best players are 24-27.
The problem they have is that none have finals experience or even the experience of being a good team.

In 2007 we took Alex Rance at 18
In 2009 we took David Astbury at 35
In 2012 we took Nick Vlastuin at 9

3 key parts of what I consider to be one of the best backlines ever, our back 6 in 2017. We stole Bachar from Essendon, picked up Grimes in the PSD and Broad as a late pick mature ager.

Assembling that backline was just as important as the mosquito fleet small forwards and the 3 traded in at the end of 2016 in that premiership success.

I’m hoping Gibcus over Hobbs may be seen the same one day. A long term high quality key back is very important imo .

Agree, has in the end ,we got Sonsie huge talent.

I reckon they will improve a lot with Voss. Their effort over the last couple of seasons was inconsistent at best in my opinion.
