NOPE.

I guess it's just like drafting, half of the guys you trade in don't work out but you still need to keep looking at players by any means…

A lot of the recycled players that we all thought were great 12-18 months ago are actually pretty average at the moment - Bruce, Weller, Savage, Membery, Hickey, Longer - all barely going at the minute, all border-line VFL.

Roberton, Steele, Carlisle, Stevens looking very good, Brown not bad but a short term solution which we badly need to address.

Freeman = iJesus 3.0 just needs to rise from the dead.

The downside is that these mature ring-ins can delay the development of young guys that desperately need game time, so if they're not part of the future then we should favour young guys who may be.

I notice the third Carlton player for the year has been nominated for the Rising Star award. You have to play the youngsters for them to earn a nomination. Long has had two games. Each of our traded in players have played every game.
