Pair of Blues more likely than not to request trades this off-season

Carroll is a “good kid” who should be able to establish himself as a regular in most club teams. Unfortunately remains on the fringe with our midfield depth. A different coach with different priorities may well have him a best 22 staple. Decent leg speed compared to many of our inside group and has excellent all around capabilities. Leftie makes him POD. Will be sad to see him go, but he should become an integral part of the Eagles midfield development.![]()

If we have enough rookie spots available at draft time, we could do worse than give him a gig. Played up the ground more late in the season and was effective. Could easily replace Owies in the small forward mix, think he has what it takes.Will White 3rd B&F, been impressive this year, clever & natural creative goal kicking small forward, great effort…
Interesting. Like Bott but he's not made the impact I thought he would.![]()

Their second will be too high for the trade, but could easily argue he is worth a mid to late second rounder in trade. Perhaps best scenario would be a second round upgrade, theirs for ours. Would be a great outcome.
Is he out of contract? 2nd Round would be amazing. 3rd Round the most like option and if its West Coast, their 3rd is not much worse than a late 2nd.
Good move by the coaches trialing him further up the ground, thought he preformed well and didn’t look out of place, further his development maybe enhances his chances on being rookied…If we have enough rookie spots available at draft time, we could do worse than give him a gig.

There are plenty of quality small forwards across the competition who have come through the lower grades as mature acquisitions. Fair to say there may be more current small forwards who came as mature pick ups or rookies. Work ethic providing pressure is almost as attractive as the time honoured x-factor.Good move by the coaches trialing him further up the ground, thought he preformed well and didn’t look out of place, further his development maybe enhances his chances on being rookied…
If they can't pay up, then they miss out. Carroll has played 15 games this year; he isn't a total spud. If they want him, then they have to pay a reasonable price. We're not a charity.There is zero chance that West Coast are involving their 2nd rounder in a trade for Carroll.
They don't currently have a 3rd, F3 might be the best we can hope for, but more likely it would be #59 this year.
Which would give us more points for Ben Campo.
Or they walk him through to the psd and we get nothing.If they can't pay up, then they miss out. Carroll has played 15 games this year; he isn't a total spud. If they want him, then they have to pay a reasonable price. We're not a charity.

He is not getting a lot of opportunity and is still young.Interesting. Like Bott but he's not made the impact I thought he would.
I'd be happy to give him an opportunity elsewhere back in WA for the right price.

Eagles will be doing plenty of business. Carroll not a star, but a 21 yo seasoned player. Played regular footy in the best 23 of a team regarded as no. 2 seed for much of the season. Fair chance becomes a 200 game player in a team struggling to establish its future engine room. (Yeo, Sheed, Kelly in or approaching twilight, Ginbey is a backman, Reid or bust, and he hasn’t signed an extension. Couple of kids nowhere near ready and jury out regardless) They are almost threadbare with bankable mids. Jack Graham linked as a free agent, they will overpay for, and his recent form no better than Carroll’s and Baker arguably is not a genuine mid and small.There is zero chance that West Coast are involving their 2nd rounder in a trade for Carroll.

Yep, there are two teams in the West. Unlikely Jack would screw his team mates or the club and leave us skint. I do concede it may reduce the price a little.If they can't pay up, then they miss out.

I'm not underselling him, it's just that we will not get fair value for him.I think you are underselling “Bot”.
Agreed unfortunatelyI'm not underselling him, it's just that we will not get fair value for him.
West Coast will get him for unders, because of the situation of both clubs (PSD position, list spots etc).
I would love to get a 2nd rounder for him, and that would probably be 'fair', but that's just not how the trading market works.
I really doubt we cut him.Rumours are he could even be DFA
Agreed unfortunately

Jack Petruccelle is awful. He is not classy. He is not competent. He is quick and that's about it.Surely we look at players at WCE/Dockers as part of a trade for Carroll and/or Martin?
I would very much like to retain Martin if the incoming S & C team think they can get his body much better/fitter/whatever....
He's a match winner - the difference between a prelim and a GF appearance or a flag and a runner's up bucket.
If we can't get Aleer, Guv snr. probably too exxy (joke he got AA), Hugh Davies (Freo) is a young KPD with terrific potential... can ruck a bit too. Still 19.
Jack Petruccelle still only 25.... classy ball user.
I really doubt we cut him.
It may wash out that both clubs have some different picks after other trades to make pick swaps, or we get F3, or West Coast's 4th, which is #59.
If we got #59, with our current 4ths, we could match a bid on Ben at pick 31 without going into deficit (assuming we can move our 2nd ahead of a bid etc).
I absolutely agree, I think you either retain him or you trade him for yeah - a 3rdI would be extremely shocked and angry if he was DFA'd.
Has shown that he's of the level.
Even if we only take a F3 for him we need to get an asset back.
It'd be extremely poor list management
Get West Coast & Fremantle to satisfy Gold Coast on deals:
West Coast: Jack Carroll
Gold Cost: Pick (West Coast)
Carlton: Alex Davies (inside mid with pace)
Fremantle: Jack Martin
Gold Coast: 4th round Pick
Carlton: Malcolm Rosas (small forward with pace)
been in his ear since we drafted him, no surpriseYep. I posted this about Carroll months ago. I’m also told it’s West Coast
