PRIZED Greater Western Sydney defender Caleb Marchbank has nominated Carlton as his preferred destination.

Reckon the biggest recruit Carlton have made was SOS. He has brought half the GWS team with him!

That's why Collingwood were prepared to turf Balme for Gubby Allen. Allen was instrumental with Silvagni at GWS and he too will have some GWS targets in his radar.

The AFL needs to be fixed so Carlton don't get this advantage.

Half them are spuds though

The Essendon legend Kevin Speedy will be decked out in his Giants scarf when he watches Saturday’s game and says there’s nothing stopping rival teams from climbing back to the AFL summit.

“Everybody forgets the Giants have cleared over 20 players back to all the other clubs, with Collingwood leading the way and Carlton,” he said.

“If you want to make a success of your club, get your act together and start planning better than what they previously have done, and that’s including the Richmonds and all the other clubs that feel ‘oh, it’s been a hard period’.

“Well, it hasn’t been hard for Hawthorn and Geelong.”

Sheeds said last week the Giants should get Folau back into the club. I thin we can discount anything he ever says from now on.

It's a good call, after playing full back in Union he'd be much more suited to footy now. I enjoyed his goal against the Crows at Footy Park.

I drank even more Saturday night at the Ark!
So the answer is probably Yes!

Those teams didn't need to rebuild when the Franchaises got all the draft picks.

Yeah it has helped Geelong st hawthorn who were at the top at the right time. Of course they are well ran but teams like Carlton and Brisbane would otherwise have 3 or 4 more top 10 picks on their lists each. Which would make a massive difference.

Also Kevin Speedy

How have the Bulldogs managaed to do it then and to a lesser extent St Kilda, Melbourne, Adelaide and Port?

Port were F***ed when the expansion teams were first given their concessions and they turned around to be within a kick of a GF. The Bulldogs might have been aswell (not sure when they started stockpiling their talent?) The theme of what Sheedy has said there isn't inaccurate and has some merit. The likes of Carlton and Richmond have made some lousy calls since then.

Melbourne, St Kilda and The Dogs obviously all appear to be on the way up through improved drafting and trading.

Three prelims between the lot in five seasons. Not much to write home about there.

Which again comes back to better decision making I guess
