So pretty much 2/3 of a team.

Unfortunately the latter.
Cripps is worth half the salary cap alone
McGovern the other half?
Charlie Curnow as well.
Been very disappointing this season Charlie .. Appears to have all the ability in the world so you wouldn't be worried about the future, but he needs to pull his finger out.

We tried that avenue with Malthouse and stuffed that up as well.
We need to land some big players via FA or RFA.
Problem is no one wants to come to Carlton whilst we are shit.

After 10 wins in 2013 (12th place) and 7 wins in 2014 (15th place), the Lions then went:
2015 - 4 wins - 17th (67.5%)
2016 - 3 wins - 17th (61.6%) * only avoided bottom due to depleted Bombers
2017 - 5 wins - 18th (74.3%)
2018 - 5 wins - 15th (89.1%)
2019 - 6 and 3 and in finals contention
Lions fans can realistically be expecting to play finals next year if not this year and contending in 2-4. These comparisons only heap more pressure on the Blues and fair enough for Blues fans to be asking WTF!

They'd kill for 4 wins.

How about all the B Grade GWS players he recruited?

They didn't "read the room" at all there, did they? They thought they'd finish 12th-14th and Adelaide 10th-12th and the pick would have been giving up 4 or 5 for 10 or 12.
Shows where they are at, as a club, not just the coach. The whole football department thought they were going to win 6-8 games or thereabouts.
When does Silvagni get put under the microscope?
Imagine if they had to start again.
I'm not concerned by the no 1 draft pick. As I keep saying, we don't need draft picks, we need bigger bodies. Bringing 18 yo kids into this side isn't going to fix anything. As you can see, our midfield need about 3 years in the gym.
Silvagni? Why, because he's brought in a heap of good kids? Don't see what you're getting at there.
You're right, things are going swimmingly, my bad.
