An article in today Herald Sun mentions that Casboults management will delay contract talks until the end of the season.

No it doesn't. It said both club and player will wait until the end of the year.

Just checked and it's kind of ambiguous but there was certainly no mention of the club.

"Another McConville client, Carlton forward Levi Casboult, is also likely to wait for contract talks."

 

[SE_Blue]

Would be a shame to lose Casboult. If results continue, I can see the media latching onto a Carlton exodus theme come trade week.

 

[Azul]

Bulldogs will likely have a crack IMO.

Would be worth a second rounder now.

Levi would be a marginal upgrade on Ayce Cordy.

Not the sort of player to build a finals campaign around. Besides, they have Liam Jones.

Bulldogs 2nd rounder is 20-25. Surely we wouldn't get that?

Another McConville client, Carlton’s Levi Casboult, is also likely to wait until later in the year until contract talks.

He is thrilled to be playing regular football under Mick Malthouse, with both parties content to consider his position later in the season.

 

[Keyza]

My paper doesnt mention the club bit. Was that the digital version?

 

[Jeremias]

Levi would be a marginal upgrade on Ayce Cordy.

Levi is a significant upgrade on Cordy. And that's saying something considering Levi is fairly ordinary.

 

[etsal1]

Yep.

 

[gab213]

I can only assume that you are reading a later edition of the herald sun than i am as the quote i gave was the only thing mentioned about Casboult in the article i am reading. Quite possibly the bolded part you highlighted was added later. That just doesn't appear at all in my copy of the paper.

 

[gab213]

Yep.

Lol ok, that explains it then.

 

[Azul]

Levi is a significant upgrade on Cordy. And that's saying something considering Levi is fairly ordinary.

Well Cordy is a major disappointment.

If they delisted Cordy and Grant, they'd still be no closer to a flag with Casboult at full forward.

 

[BM123]

Just the Adelaide game?

You know which part of our season I'm most disappointed about.....................our percentage.

We're not often out of a game completely (Essendon game excluded) but we've never been fully into a game this year to date either.
We haven't won one game where we showed up as boss............not one.

Our team refuses to put a team to the sword! Must be too much effort to play four quarters.

Nicest team in the league.

 

[BM123]

I'm fairly sick of Casboult's kicking issues now. If we could get a 2nd round pick for him I would take it.

 

[SE_Blue]

Our team refuses to put a team to the sword! Must be too much effort to play four quarters.

Nicest team in the league.

I'd argue that it's not that we refuse to. I just don't think we're good enough to.

 

[BM123]

I'd argue that it's not that we refuse to. I just don't think we're good enough to.

Don't know how many times we simply stop running or allow easy goals with piss weak defensive efforts though.

Should trade him to Richmond.....

 

[SE_Blue]

Don't know how many times we simply stop running or allow easy goals with piss weak defensive efforts though.

Again, I'm not sure if that's laziness on the part of the players, or just simply that they're not good enough to stop those goals.

 

[etsal1]

I'd argue that it's not that we refuse to. I just don't think we're good enough to.

Remember the days we hated being flat-track bullies. Well I want those days back.

The days when were constantly slammed for being unable to beat top 4 teams. Imagine that.

No such thing as an "untouchable", there is a price for every player so you may be better off calling them "unlikely". We really need to stockpile our quality young players and add to that list as the older guys start retiring over the next few years.

Strange call on Simpson (who is now 29yo), even though you would never want to offload him, classifying him as a player who cannot be traded does seem counterproductive.

I reckon we would be lucky to get that now.

You trade Simpson and you rip whatever heart is left at the club out.

 

[LordLucifer]

I don't disagree with that hence the reason why I said you'd never want to offload him but at 29yo, if an opposition club were to make an offer for him that gave us significant benefit, right now, the club would have to take it.

Unless they offer you a Cameron, Treloar etc for Simpson (which they obviously won't) - I don't think we can ever afford to trade Simpson.
