I can't think of a single player that has left CFC in the past four years (Pagan's period of list management) and gone on to bigger and better things.
Massie maybe?
I might be a dreamer (but I'm not the only one), but I'm of the opinion that our football department has a bloody good eye for talent on our list. As in, whether we've squeezed the best out of our players and don't mind if they move on kind of thing
Of course the hilarious rebuttal to this is that our list has been so shit that no-one's been any good anyway - bwahahaha. That's so funny
What's not funny is the same football department is pretty rank at bringing in experienced players. Can't win 'em all, I guess
Yeah nah, if Thornton (or any other uncontracted player) leaves, it'll be with the blessing of the footy department - and I trust their assessment of our list.
Can't believe I'm saying that
Massie was BD (Before Denis) for the record i was p1ssed we got rid of him.
I agree with your comments here, We have recruited mostly talented footballers from the opportunities we've had. My only beef is that we let Hulme and Franchina go 12-24 months too soon. They could have been very handy as experienced players with tougher bodies.
2004 made people think we were further down the track than we were.
I'm glad in a way that we've had this period of gloom now because the teams that have won the flag since 2001 are all sides that have benefited in salary or player exemptions over the last 10 years. We would never have been close when you battling with one arm tied.
When we come good in 2-3 years ( maybe 4) we'll be competing with teams on a leven playing field for the first time in a long stretch.
