Synbad, I'd like to know your opinion on the difference bewteen the 2. We no longer live in the age of players playing out their careers at the one club, for better or worse.
How does it disadvantage Carlton to bring in a few "ready-mades" who were high picks a few years back, as opposed to "growing our own", and having them poached in the same manner a few years down the track?
Swing and roundabouts, Syn.
The difference is the real good players stay at the one club and they cost you lss to keep and they dont set a precedent of overpricing in the club'
People knowi wanted Kosi at the club ...and i was prepared to do whatever it takes to land him here.
BUT!!!!! wouldnt it have been much better if we had our own Kosis and Powers and we didnt have a need to throw big buck to attraxct them to us... and then have them say "NO!"??
Im all for bringing in players from outside but i prefer we take our medicine and get our very own gun kids who have only known Carlton...
How many gun kids actually get poached????..... very few unless theyre here from interstate.
We will get a good player in the PSD , a player who should be able to walk into our side but it wont be a Kosi. Ball, Riewoldt, Brown,Judd, Cooney......
