A Carlton supporter posted in the Ben McKay forum, that they will be looking to trade Lewis Young. Apparently doesn’t get along with Weitering. Never really watched him was suprised to see his 200cm. Remember the Melbourne media raving on how good a pickup he was for Carlton. 24yo recruited from Sturt. Is he capable of being a lockdown key defender?

If we miss out on McKay and Lewis Young is gettable I'd love that, he'd walk into our 22. Tall enough to play on the giants but also has some offence and intercepting to his game. SA boy too for what that's worth.

Would be all over him but not sure of the deal?
Wonder if Mitch wants to go to Carlton?
We should have traded for Young 2 years ago when Carlton got him for pick 50-odd. Hindsight call but we clearly misread Tom Clurey’s trajectory.

How can he not get along with someone with no personality?

Assuming Bergman is gone, we could potentially trade him to Essendon (for their 1st pick), as their replacement for Redman if that player goes to the Crows.
I think Georgiades will go to a WA club, most likely scenario is a second round pick perhaps. Eagles would be my guess.

lol. People have been saying this since 2011.
Maybe Young was the one who scammed him out his money?
Lewis Young looks like just what we need.

Is Jed Hagan a better option than Mead?
Really wanted to see Mead step up this year but hasn’t yet. But sometimes it just click’s suddenly l. 2 months ago gave Jackson 0% chance of being @ Port in 24.
Lol Carlton are bleak.

I think Mead should be delisted honestly.

Mead's biggest issue is that the coaches are trying to throw him around to a spot where we have openings, that they hope he will begin to own and thus earn a spot in the side. However he struggled as a small forward and so far this year he's struggled as an outside mid. He has good ball use, but in space he has been found to be poor at getting to the right spots, plus in that game at the G against Richmond he didn't go hard enough at it. It was almost as if players coming from different directions than he is used to as an inside mid really spooked him.
I think he still has the talent, but right now his belief in taking one of the potential openings just isn't there.

Go boooed down by the masses 2 years ago when I said we should be into him. Spud apparently.
I can see why the coaches keep him - he's got nice touch. He's got a touch of the Josh Francou about him although Mead being anything better than 20 touches a game looks a long way off.
If he could gain some 5-10 kilos he could maybe make it inside, But never has really looked like he gained weight since he joined. Jackson maybe passed him on the inside depth chart?
Feel like he lacks the pace and a penetrating kick for outside. Not much goal kicking nous(3 goals in 16 games.)
Mead never really taken his chance most touches is 18.Can remember an outstanding game?( I cant)
He is everything we need and want in a tall defender.
Has the right age profile.
Can play FB or CHB.
Skilled, excellent mark, good one on one, fast on the lead, interceptor, good kick.
Hopefully they want to ditch for internal balance on the cheap.

No, Mead's biggest issue is that he isn't good enough. Wouldn't matter where we play him.

Would love to see him and Sinn swap roles in the Magoos in the back half of the year, think Mead by foot off half back could be very handy and learn the structure. Sinn in the guts.

Mead is too short, not hard enough at the ball, doesn't find enough of it, doesn't provide enough pressure. Kicks pretty well in the field and goal but I don't think he has 'it'. I really liked him around his draft time but he's not really made any progress.
