I love Fish
Has been caught a few times trying to do too much but sometimes I think to myself that he doesn’t see an option up ahead so he tries to create one.
His evasive skills are elite. Little terrier.
Casboult is a FA ?
By seasons end he will have racked up quite a few senior appearances this year so we might gain some compensation should another club bite.
Would Richmond be interested in Goddard as a bit of Rance insurance ?
Maybe we could manufacture some kind of trade for Butler or Bolton.
Bring in Papley or Billings for the crows pick.
Adding 2 of Papley , Billings , Butler , Bolton would add so much to the team.
What happens when Jones is right to come back? Casboult has been doing so well as a KPD/Ruck? And we def cant fit them both in?

Genuine question - when was the last time we had to drop someone who genuinely hadn't deserved to be dropped, but because there was a better option? .... Jones was in great form prior to being injured, simply offers a little more explosive beast than Cas does, and his kicking is not as 'oh sweet jesus please hit that target in deep defence' as Cas'.
Jones and/or McKay can offer a chop out in the ruck.
Re. Goddard: GWS, Sydney, Bulldogs and what about St.Kilda?
Unlikely to come about, but can see Goddard making for a not so difficult sell to a club in need of a lock-down defender.
I didn't like Goddard early on, but he's proved me wrong. He is though somehow quicker and sharper than he was earlier this year.
He's upping his ranking in just about every game he's played.
We're unlikely to be discussing Goddard as a legitimate trade but maybe only because he's a rookie. I think that could change.

Easily worth our adelaide pick and theres zero change coming back if we went after him. He is exactly what we need.

Actually starting to think we have 90% of the puzzle pieces (even after a 2-9 start). Im a big believer in Dow and LOB going into next year and dont see our midfield as much of a problem as some. Setterfield will get better also and including Doc and perhaps Williamson into calculations means we a looking pretty good in the back half and middle.
Papley is clearly a key target and hope we really go hard at him.
Other than that, im really ok with how our club is tracking. If we get over the dogs this week i think it puts us in a decent light for potential signings at the end of the season, no matter how the rest of the year plays out.
Put it however which way you like, but we are well above what we were last year (even if the w column isn't showing it). The 80% that i was expecting as the key fact of showing improvement is within grasp. Players aren't dumb when looking at their future... make no mistake, people who want to play finals can see where we are headed with this young group

Can someone tell me why we are thinking of trading goddard. We havent had depth for years and as soon as we get some we are happy for him to go for better opportunities. No. keep him at all costs. Marchbank has a big injury history and jones or casbault could easily get injured or lose form. Keep for me

Dont think we would get anything for a rookie not playing seniors anyways. So yeah i agree
Because Goddard will find it difficult to shift Jones Weitering Marchbank and Plowman from the senior team.
In addition, we have Macreadie and B.Silvagni as developing KPD.
If Goddard can parlay into a starting senior 22 small forward or defender it’s a big win for the club.
Shiel was contracted for this year too.
It’s not uncommon for a club to extract value a year early for a player they think/know will leave in 12 months time.
Barrass has posted that Papley may be looking to return home to Melbourne and it has been reported that his gf lives in Melbourne.
We have the need for his type, we have the trade currency and the cap space to get it done.

Still want us to keep an eye on Michael Bennell in the WAFL. Let's see what he can sustain/produce this season and weigh up if he's worth throwing a lifeline to. Overlooked mid-season draft (like so many others).
His only knock is that he doesn't touch it enough....averaging 6.5 disposals a game, which many would see as sub-standard. But this guy as a permanent FP has something about him. In 8 games has only kicked it 37 times for 21 goals and amassed 37 tackles. If Papley was producing that for the Blues, we would be licking our lips, saying what a great trade, and how dangerous our F50 is for opposition. If Papley's limited touches resulted in 2.5 goals a game and tackling havoc, we'd be most happy about nabbing him. Let's keep an eye on the WAFL and this 25 yo emerging phenom.

Note : recent State game vs South Australia : 7 kicks, 9 tackles (3 goals 2 behinds)

Was thinking about this yesterday. For example, offer up Goddard to the Bulldogs for that guy we were supposedly interested in, Bailey Dale.
183cm flanker, 22-23 years old, good fit for our club.
Need to look to offload one player in our position of excess.

Whitfield, Papley & Martin in that order over the next two years would be perfect.
Is there a player type that we are crying out for more than Whitfield? Cripps, Dow & Setterfield feeding it out to Walsh, SPS & Whitfield and then delivering it to McKay, Curnow & McGovern. That team would have dynasty potential.
When does Whitfield become a free agent? Thinking about it I’d forget Martin and go for a cheap electric quick small forward that kicks plenty of goals from a state league and throw the stack at Whitfield.

I feel like Cain liddle has been our most important pick up. He is the new school coe. Knows the workings of the contemporary corporate world.
MLG old school corporate guy.
Cain and Judd these 2 will prove to be our main guys. Both articulate extremely well.

When I thought of the Dogs, this was exactly the player that came to mind - Bailey Dale.
A bit on the outer right now and may be possibly be a 'get' in the right situation.
These sorts of little trades should always be in the offing. Both players aren't getting proper opportunity at their own club, yet may get it elsewhere.
So what if we're talking about the 'little' moves? Get enough of these right and you may get a little lucky here or there.

Would not be surprised if hawthorn went hard for Whitfield. Would be interesting if we snared Clarkson before trade period.
As for papley, I recall barass saying he wants to come home. I’m not doubting your sources but sometimes family members have to tow the line.

I heard second hand from MLG that Judd is the smartest guy at Carlton and he is the biggest asset we have. With him and Cain at the helm, I believe we are in safe hands
I don't think we expected Casboult to do what he has and there is nothing like depth and competition for spots.
Think it was Bailey Williams we were supposedly into. Not Bailey Dale. Or was there something else I missed?
