Thorp is a must get, assuming he is serious about the whole AFL career, the guy can play. don't care what level he has been playing, when you are 194cm tall, have that kind of agility, mark above your head, kick straight and most importantly, have the footy smarts he has; its an easy decision...

Don't know if you can say this trade period has been underwhelming; arguably the biggest name in the AFL, buddy franklin, shafted the poor old GWS and walked to Sydney on the biggest deal in history of AFL, dale Thomas, who was rated one of the top 3-5 players in the AFL only two years ago walks...

Can't see how we could come out of a bootsma trade in a better position. Reality is he has no trade value to anyone; that's not to say he won't be a good player, but has done nothing that has him standing out from other 190cm half backs. The guy didnt go through the normal pathway to afl; I...

Wasn't Rowe on swans list few years back, little hypocritical to say Thorpe shouldn't get a second chance. What normal teenager doesn't make some stupid mistakes and maybe have an ego because they are good at something. I have no problem with wiping the slate clean; I just hope we recruit on...

"Rome wasn't built in a day, but when it fell it burnt in one" - lets not take short cuts; I don't think we can win a premiership in the next two years, so we need an eye on 2016. Need quality 5-7 year players at this stage; docherty looks like he ticks the boxes, tall hb who kicks long and...

Are yes, you seem to be correct. Having a quick look at the Colbert trade, cats got mooney and enright out of that trade, while also getting chapman for the Mansfield trade with us. Point is, we need to focus on all facets of recruitment; drafting, trading and moving on players for the...

Geelong have probably been the master of the draft and then development of players, but don't under estimate what the father son selections did for them. Under current rules they wouldn't have got selwood or bartel; take those two out and we have a whole different proposition. Lets not forget...

Unsure about didak, but is it in our interest to look at an older, experienced player to fill a hole for 12 months with the plan of chasing a younger player or free agent next season. If we picked up a young bloke in draft we'd be forced to sign up for 2 years, this may not suit. Without...

I love kade Simpson, but A grader, wouldn't have thought so. Problem with the carlton board, we over rate our own, but so happy to lip off about others. If Jessie white played at carlton he would be our next big hope, if casboult was at Richmond he'd be the worst player to ever hold a spot on...

Turn it up, compared to jono brown, the guy kicked 23 goals in 19 matches, was named in the best 6 times in his last season with Norwood. Hardly call the brown type football. He is a great story from the cancer point of view, but his selection in the national draft is an embarrassment on the...

Didn't mick also say he wasn't going to coach carlton? Don't believe anything a coach says at a press conference, they know if they even lead on in the slightest way that a player might be traded it will be back page news. Always play a straight bat in front of the media.

Would fit in well at the blues then

Walker from Geelong looked ok today; be behind Hawkins, kersten, pods, vardy; maybe worth a nibble. Would be our best young forward, guarantee him 22 games.

I'm hearing you, it's not the lists fault we have been floundering around that 7-12 spot the last 4 years; they all have heart and that's what it is all about.

Don't get me wrong, love the way kreuzer goes about his footy, but did I miss those games he tore the opposition apart and won the game off his own boot? Quite possibly going to be a good player, but we have adequate replacements for him. We don't have a single young key position forward on...

The club can say anyone is off the table, but lets be honest, everyone has a price. Ruckman are so over rated in my opinion unless you have a cox who get 20 plus possessions or sandilands who gets every hit out. If we could get a ready made mid and kpf we should do what ever is required.

Kreuzer is our one and only commodity, people want him, we have ready made replacement (warnock). GWS need ruckman, kreuzer and first round pick for Patton and Adams; would they have a nibble at that?

If west coast were to offer us selwood for yarran, it's only because they feel guilty about taking Kennedy from us. We get our hands on selwood, we take it and run. By the way, it won't happen.

Can still trade though. Couldn't be on the best coin going around.

Luke Parker looks like a good type, not in the class of hannerbry and jack; would he entertain a move and what would it cost? Be starting on baller at blues.

Hope our boys are watching tonight's game, this is how you play with a bit of heart

Interesting fact, if carlton win with a score line of 58 to 36 their end of H&A season would be 11 wins, 11 losses, 2079 points for and 1925 against with a percentage of 108%. Why is this interesting, out 2012 season was 11 wins, 11 losses, 2079 points for and 1925 against with a percentage of...

While talking about our recruiters, was thinking on the weekend who was the last home grown star that we've had; fev and before that probably kouta. Only two players I could think of in the last 10-12 years who could win a game off their own boot. Pretty sure every other club could name a...

Does Sam Newman understand that this part of the charges is purely for bringing game into disrepute? He has really embarrassed himself tonight. Once asada finish their investigation, I'm sure more charges will be laid and be more specific to what happened!

Should blues boycott Saturday night game; really put some pressure on these cheating bombers

Appoligise if already raised, but what are thoughts on three way trade between carlton, Melbourne and west coast. Yarran to west coast, Mitch brown and 2nd round pick to demons and frawley to carlton. I feel carlton and west coast would be happy, not sure about Melbourne; can't justify a first...

The landscape has changed; free agency I believe has brought about a new way in which clubs need to draft and trade. A focus needs to be on getting Key Position players via the draft and then use free agency to get the required mid. You pay way too much for Key Position players via free...

Pick 1. Or Tom Adams

So the boys on the couch think blues should trade kreuzer and yarran, I guess they know nothing compared to experts on here.

Proven "good footballer" is my point; it would be speculative to suggest Kreuzer will be a great footballer. GWS are probably keen to take this punt as they have the power forwards required to win a flag (assuming Buddy is heading north), why not get a potential A grade ruck. Carlton don't...
