Danger wants a flag contender, he won't be going to Carlton. The better the Crows look, the more likely he might stay....

Possibly correct there but who would be knocking on the door to replace him?

Agreed. That Rowe is our No 1 tall in defence is reason enough to be concerned. Don't get me wrong, good player but he's a forward being turned into a defender.

Then again, if he's after more coin and going home, he's probably at the Cattery next year.

That's an even bigger issue!
I would rather see a kid who is desperate for a go try and fail then watch Yarran coasting around all the time and only running hard when there is a chance he will score a goal

forget about recruiting or letting your older blokes go, this is what kills you. with the exception of menzel none of them even look like becoming a match winner. yarran is a good footballer but doesnt look like someone who should have gone at 6 either.Booney wrote:If Dangerfields option are Adelaide, Geelong and Collingwood, then it's abundantly clear who from that group has the best chance of on field success in the next 3-5 years.

Thats a bit of a rubbish statement. Sam Rowe has lifted his game over the last 2 years. Battled testicular cancer and has proved to everyone at the club that he means business and that he wants to be a leader of the club. Rightly so, given honors in the leadership group. As for Duigan, he wasnt a bad footballer, mature aged recruit that they were probably thinking could be a leader to the young kids they were blooding at that time. Was sad to see him retire but i think the AFL regime was getting too much for him. Murphy was always going to take the reigns from Judd. i dont think anyone else was a real chance of captaincy.

You've missed JK's point. Rowe is well deserved of his place in Carlton's leadership group....but, if he was at almost any other club he'd be a fringe player and as such unlikely to be appointed as a club leader. This may not be right or wrong, but I agree with JK's assessment.
