ALEX Cincotta will secure a new deal at Carlton for 2025 when he faces Essendon in the King's Birthday Eve blockbuster on Sunday night.

The 27-year-old needs to play one more game to trigger an extension for a third season at Princes Park after being signed during the pre-season supplemental selection period ahead of last season.

Does a trade period need to be exciting to acquire best 22 players?

We're here for entertainment. Speculating over whether we're going to pick up Sam Butler or Hugh Davies isn't exactly going to capture the masses.

We also rarely hear about these types until much closer to trade period as they are far lesser in profile so lack media coverage.

So we should be discussing fictitious trades like acquiring Jeremy Cameron rather than more realistic targets

Perhaps we need a fantasy list management thread

Believe it or not, this already is one.

Believe it or not, this already is one.

I think the majority of us view it as an outlet for practical options or perhaps a little left field.
Fanciful stuff is more comic relief than serious content.

And the vast majority of options discussed on here are more 'practical options' because most supporters know where we're at in our list build and cap space etc. Occasionally theres a pie in the sky type discussed and most are quick to point out the low probability of such a trade occurring.

I just don't why one would have an issue with out there hypotheticals when in reality none of us have the slightest influence on what occurs end of year. It's just discussion.

Yep agree. And can’t see us paying big dollars to a player this year.

Conor Stone if he can get healthy and stay healthy could be an astute pick up imo.

AFL Draft: Pick 15 Conor Stone

At Pick 15, the GIANTS choose Conor Stone, a medium forward/defender from the Oakleigh Chargers.

Cincotta game this weekend against *** will trigger another years contract…

 

[TENACIOUS]

Don’t see the issue with anyone discussing any player they want on here…

The player/trade scenario either gets discussed or if outlandish gets ignored…

We’re on a fan forum after all, not the clubs inner sanctum… At the end of the day an actual minuscule amount of any posters, opinions on players actually come to fruition…

 

[DangerousD]

You mean think Lever? Steven may is one of the few players who plays basically the same game as weitering .... Often deepest and brilliant readers of the play. Freakish generals. Not CHBs either

I just get the feeling that Weiters plays deepest because that’s where he’s most needed, if we had May, Weiters would play a lot higher and with more freedom, he would excel

 

[DangerousD]

Not sure how he would fit “culturally” with our group. Was a wild child, I have no idea how his off field is these days. As I said, interesting. Not sure he is worth Hayward value offers, but does have the profile if we want a genuine goalkicking small forward. (I have sufficient faith in what we have and see bigger priorities, but if it is a free hit not requiring draft capital can see merit)

I find this a bit strange.

What has Stengle done the past few years to suggest he wouldn’t fit in culturally with our group? You have questioned how he would fit but then admitted you have no idea how his off field is going, it doesnt make much sense.

We just recruited Hollands who was arrested and charged with drug possession, then suspended by the AFL, without much thought if he would be a bad fit culturally.

Unless there is more to the stories, Stengle was stood down for three incidents which occurred over a 6 month period, one drink driving charge, one possession charge which was weed if i recall and one was being pictured holding a plate that had white powder on it.

Those three things shouldn’t be encouraged and aren’t a good look for a professional athlete, bar the drink driving charge, are the other two any different to what dozens of players do each week, just without getting caught? Since these incidents I can’t recall any bad press regarding Stengle and these indiscretions were four years ago.

Obviously do your due diligence but i think you’re being harsh here.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

Why is there such a love for flashy, CONDITIONAL footballers on this board?

I’m not sure why we would class him as conditional. The way he is going by the end of the season he could be averaging 20 touches a game and 35 goals a year over the last three seasons in a very average side.
That’s incredibly consistent.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Would gladly take Stengle but can’t see it happening, but if it did…
Stengle FA
Stone
Our 1st round pick for best key back
Campos x 2
Upgrade Boyd

Solves our forward half medium and smalls. Adds to our midfield and gives us a chance at a key back.

Strange? Harsh?

Bloke was a loose canon. Widely reported that “only Geelong” had the culture to handle him. Even with that, was Eddie’s role as a minder? 25 yo and still living in the Betts family home (according to an on air throwaway from Eddie) Eddie’s wife has become a player manager specifically for him.

What are the logistics? Is Eddie’s home closer to Geelong than Melbourne? Do living arrangements alter if he moves clubs?
I certainly did say that I am unsure of his off field life currently. That is only fair. I will not blatantly denigrate or write him off, but writing is on the wall that he is better served with some form of stewardship.

[WalshistheGOAT]

Even if Stengle was a bit of a 'loose cannon' in his early career I think it's shown the last few years that he has the ability to knuckle down and be a consistent, quality player in the right environment.

Betts has connection at Carlton and we have a generally respected culture/playing group in terms of off field incidents, player behavior etc so I wouldn't be worried about a player like Stengle joining our mix.

Money is the only factor imo, if he was willing to make a move he'd be the same as Hayward for me. At the right price you absolutely pull the trigger and lock him in for a spot round 1, if he's chasing cash we move on and look elsewhere.

 

[Arr0w]

Rumoured that he wants 800/900K a season

He won’t be getting that here. That’s too much

Eddie lives in Glen Iris

Thanks, but…

I live in regional Queensland. Had a single day stopover in Melbourne when 18, moving (reluctantly) to Qld from Tassie, now 63. Had two stints in Central West NSW totalling about a year. Few trips to Brissie and three to Sydney are my experience in the concrete jungles and do not aspire to many more.

I know most on here think the world revolves around Melbourne and surrounds, but, short of consulting maps, I have no idea how that answers my question.

$800k is probably like $650k atm. It’s well and truly on the high side but I think he will get it easily enough. Probably not too much different to what we paid for Martin.
