Another Giant wanting out

This is what happens with teams full of kids. They get thrown into the senior side before they have earned it, then when their form drops off and they are no longer getting a senior game they feel hard done by and request to leave.

I'm not saying this is what's happened with Giles as he is more senior, but you could highlight a few cases over the past couple of seasons where this is correct.

You wonder how some of these kids would've coped in the days when Michael Tuck had to play 100 ressies games before he cracked it for a regular gig.

How good is the ruckman?

Only 100!? Sam Gibson thinks it wasn't enough!

Goldstein > Giles > Currie, but Giles wouldn't want to be playing in the VFL so wouldn't be interested in us.

Impressed you knew where I was going with it..touché. I won't get into my potential trade scenarios questions

 

[Lockjaw]

Currie couldn't hit water if he fell out of a moving boat

 

[Black Diamond]

I can't quite put my finger on it, but that seems contradictory to me.

That's because it makes no sense.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Giles would b an excellent addition to Melbourne would be their number 1 straight up. He is quite strong overhead when he goes forward too!

yeah great idea, Giles would love all those compensation picks for the next 8 years.

Waite confirmed according to Carlton board....

 

[shinboner magic]

Waite confirmed according to Carlton board....

For what

 

[Bugz]

Fair point- confirmed to be heading to you guys. Apparently John Barker is the source.

 

[GarnerSmash]

For what

To North for $450 a year for 2 years.

Some Blues supporters disappointed that he didn't hold out for a trade to provide Carlton with some compensation. Such as Aaron Black.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Have heard the same.

Waite to North for a smidge more than what Carlton are offering him. Same source, confirmed at the B&F last night.

And the guaranteed second year. Blues had conditions.

They are saying their fairwells on the Carlton board now. Or perhaps their F U's.

It would give us a monster forward line, but I'd be surprised if we were locking in any trades right now.

 

[GremlinCRHF]

That's a bit more than I was hoping to pay for Waite but not upset about him coming to the club, will make for some interesting times in the forward line.

With free agency we don't need to trade and if last year was any guide we pretty much had Dal across the line by early August.

 

[sbdan]

I don't hate it. Sits us up for a massive tilt at the flag for the next 2-3 years, with the ageing Wells, Boomer, Drew, Dal & Waite.

Then we would have the younger guys hitting peak age 25-29 to bring through fresh talent.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

450k ... shit.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

$450k?

Zebus christ......

 

[SMaturin]

Can go back as well. Gives us depth at both ends, I'm not against it.
