It's no secret that the Blues have let some good players go in recent times.
Yes, Carlton have recruited several quality youngsters in the last few years and are headed in the right direction. But they have also been guilty of carrying too many list cloggers with little potential and allowing their more talented names to walk.
While some of these stars wanted out, that can't be used as an excuse, and a better list transition could have taken the Blues anywhere.
Here are the best 10 players Carlton have traded or delisted since 2006:
5. Mitch Robinson
Robinson showed plenty of potential at Carlton but never lived up to the hype. A number of off-field incidents saw him get delisted by the club at the end of 2014.
He went on to become a key member for the rejuvenated Lions, maturing later in his career and winning a best and fairest in 2015. At the age of 29, he still has a few good years left in him and could've provided the Blues with some needed grunt and aggression that every side needs. A manic Robbo running around makes Carlton a much better side.
Lmfao at Gibbs, can’t get a game for the crows and we got 2 1st round picks for him. Carlton won letting half of those dead beats go, especially Gibbs.
Josh kennedy.
Mate you are a hack journalist.
Garlett and Robbo were poorly behaved and during a cultural change not great going forward.
Waite was due to retire.
Gibbs and Hendo wanted out so you have to respect that.
Tuohy… who knows…. bit of a wanker.
Jacobs was a tough call. Kreuz was top ruck. But we had 3 others. Jacobs was a strange choice to go.
Betts hurts. That was the hardest.
But kennedy. Mate at the time we had this bloke brendan. Waite was a bit part.
Kennedy was noone.
Yes we know how good he is. But at the time it was very very good exchange. Juddy is still pure carlton.
Hindsight is 20:20.
Perhaps next time talk about building a culture. Thats what Juddy is part of doing.
