Really like the look of taj hotton. Wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up going between pick 5-10.

Weitering will re-sign and for way unders compared to offers, other cashed up clubs will throw at him
Go through another rebuild where the supporters will resent every mistake you make on your heavily inflated contract and end up a hated figure with a very small chance of a flag.
Continue with a premiership contender who will pay you fairly and a supporter base that love you so much your long term post-playing earnings will far surpass any short term contract gains.

I introduced him to the dialogue for the reason I outlined.
He doesn't play Owies role.
He'd be in competition with Holland & Cotters.
Again, not the point.

You're not making any sense.
He's not on massive coin & is a contributor in a valuable position.

If that's the case, he'll be moved on again.
Overpaying due to ego flies in the face of good LM strategy.
He can't make us do anything, at best, he'll over value a player out of spite... sounds like a him problem.

I would rather this than selling the farm for a free agent or trade option. I would prefer a next generation KPP if we get ahead of a bid, but that reel is of a player we could use.
His brother has not managed to get on the park yet at the Saints. Has the dash and step we so much need. Good vision, OK disposal. Plays a but nonchalantly, even arrogantly at the lower level. Will be interesting to see how he goes when the top liners gather for the championships.
Definitely a close watch through the season, appears to add that genuine zip forward, the ability to separate, and will have the scope to go in to the midfield when he matures in a few years.

True but given his history, SOS likes using his top picks if they are high, i dont see much point trading up only to bid on a FS player, as it loos at the moment we are looking at needing a late 1st and and a second, bidding in the teens is not out of the range and is fair if it happens.

Im very glad when i look back, knowing that SOS missed out on the big money players that he bid on, the deals offered to Cogniglio and Shiel in hindsight were irresponsible and would have set us back a long way, his offer to Weitering would be just as bad, not because he wont be a great player, but because of how much $$$$ it ties up on one player.
McClure is stating today Weits will reject it, good on him, he’s not going anywhere unless we F him over.

Hope as much as anyone that Weitering stays and think he will..
However Weits is an UFA, mid career and needs to think about his future.. We’d be asking him to leave millions on the table, you couldn’t begrudge him if he took it…
Let’s hope he stays and we find him a CHB to flourish with…

The Weitering discussion points out one thing. We need either/or a partner in crime or the next generation key defender sooner rather than later.
We don’t necessarily need to trade an established player or use a high draft pick. Plenty of the competition’s better KPP are late picks, rookies, SSP or even MSD selections (no, I don’t want a semantics driven study) they are out there!

Will say it again, I knew Viccy a bit before she moved up through some mutual friends, I just can't see her agreeing to a move to Radelaide. Loves the limelight. Sydney or a big Melbourne club imo.
Big contracts and possibilities. I hope we play it smart and hold our nerve.
I love Weitering and think he’ll commit to the Blues - but if he goes for a never-work-again deal of a lifetime, fair enough.
Likewise, I like the romance of adding Campo’s kids, but if someone bids overs you shake their hand and say “see you around” and let ‘em go.
Hayward is a nice fit for us, so glad we’ve thrown our hat in the ring. We should sell the possibilities hard, but again, if he chooses something else switch to plan B.

Weitering won't go anywhere. If he wins a flag with the Blues he'd likely never have to worry about work again for the rest of his life anyway.
Coterie groups and the Pratts etc will look after him like they did Juddie, coaching career post footy etc, he'll be set up life.

Cunners latest setback is the last straw.
He has to be delisted at seasons end.
Marchy also will need to play the majority of balance of season to avoid same fate. (and play well)
We simply can't carry these super injury prone players any longer .
Very debatable if either, Cunners in particular would get a gig anywhere else IMO with their track records
so little to no trade value either sadly.

Desperate Saints are worse than Norf lol. Saints can have our players once they've won their premierships and they're done, just like it was in the good old days..
Sad to say it but Davey Cuningham and Caleb Marchbank should not be on our list at the end of the year. Next in line is Jack Martin. All talented individuals but we just don't get the chance to see that talent shine. Adam Cerra is starting to become a bit of a concern with durability issues. Mitch McGovern has dramatically improved in this area yet still prone to absences.
It's crazy that we have consistently carried so many players over the last three-four years.
On a different note, is one Campo twin better than the other? Are we obliged to draft both?

Superstar Blue set to turn down $12 million from rival Victorian club - but will another star take it?
“Jacob Weitering is set to turn down one of the biggest offers in football history to stay at Carlton.”

Sam McClure is living in La La land if he thinks a soon-to-be 27 year old is receiving a $12 million offer.
Even St Kilda wouldn’t be that thick.

Thinking about it further, maybe the report is true. Most people on earth would decline $12 million from St Kilda.
