Dude is conjuring magic rubbery numbers in a pissweak attempt to claim other posters' rationale is stupid again.

If Carlton comes to the table with a suitable trade then they will get Houston.
They’re offering $1.1 a year.
We’re offering $1.5

FYI money isn’t a deal breaker here.

Houston was a lifelong Carlton supporter growing up and they’re contending in finals.
If they get a deal together that works for Port then we are outsiders.

1.5mil for Houston? You've got to be kidding!

 

[Passmore]

He is leaving Syd simply because he is being played out of position, and wants to play mid.... he will play predominantly mid for us, and rest fwd...

I reckon we can probably rotate 5-6 through there...

There seems to be differing opinions of where Parker might sit in the Midfield depth chart next year. I think he'll get a lot of looks as the first midfield rotation. Without thinking too much about it, i'd probably have the depth chart:

1. Sheezel
2. LDU
3. Wardlaw
4. Parker
5. McKercher
6. Powell
7. Simpkin
8. Phillips

I have McKercher at five and could see him combining well with Parker or Wardlaw as the year progresses, but expect he'd see less time on ball at the start of the year as he continues to work on his strength and body work.

I reckon he will start and Wardlaw come off the bench... can't be bullied from the start

Excuse me?

$1.5m?

Has Cam Joyce weaseled his way back into possession of our cheque book?

If there's any truth in that you'd assume a heavily front loaded deal, to leave space for LDU, and bump up McKercher, Wardlaw etc

I think Sheezel will spend plenty of time at half forward next year, as soon as the ball is bounced, he'll push up and be the extra midfielder around the contest. He played that role really well this year.

If he was a difference maker, no problems.

He’s a HBF and we have pressing needs in every other more important position in the field.

Zorko offers the lions nothing defensively either. But he’s crucial in setting up their ball movement.

With how often clubs are rolling a half forward up to contests now, the Zorko type role that Daniel would fill rarely is picking up anyone defensively.

I can see the reasons for Daniel. I’m not sure if he can have the impact Zorko does but I wouldn’t worry about the defensive side of it. Goater will slot in anyway.

Zorko offers a lot more than Mckercher and Fisher. When it's his turn to go, he goes and has the ability to win one on one contests.

Absolutely he will, and he'll have a point to prove, 30+ touches rd 1, most of em contested, 10 tackles, 30+ pressure acts, and a couple of sausage rolls. Take it to the bank New Roo!

Bergman, Fisher, McKercher, Scott.

All blokes are monstered in 1v1 contests. Both on in the ground and in the air.

I've written off RJH.

I know he's only played a handful of games but when you look at the best small forwards in the game, they've all got freakish talents and some mongrel about them. RJH is far too timid and he doesn't seem to have that something that makes him stand out. I'm not sure what it is when I watch him but I just feel he is lacking in some ways. Some on here will no doubt disagree with me and that's fine.

As for Payne, by all reports he does have that mongrel about him but he seems to be a long way off at this stage. More than what I was expecting. Given our situation mid season, I was expecting he would force his way into the team at some point but in the end his form in the VFL didn't warrant it which concerns me a little.

I'm convinced we really need to get a highly talented small forward in this draft, even if it means we have to use one of our earlier picks. I don't really like the sound of using a second or third round pick to go after the scraps after the better ones are taken.

Yep. There are two gun small forwards in this draft, we need to get at least one of them.

It wasn’t about McKercher or Fisher, I was responding to someone questioning why we would be after Caleb Daniel and I’m pointing to the exact role he’ll play.

He can be whatever one wants him to be it seems.

Reality is he'll be 32 all of next season.

That's massively under selling him. His kicking from half back and defensive ability absolutely makes him a difference maker

For that money, you want Top 3 player in the competition.

He’s nowhere near that.

Not even Top 30.

The game has changed so much. It's all about quick movement from hb. Some people are just old school and are stuck coming to terms with the growing importance of speed and distribution from hb.... not simply a hbf...

The days of only giving a contract that reflects true value are long gone. 1.5m represents wooing a contracted AA quality player to a struggling club

Bergman and Hardeman may turn out to be great players, or they may not.

What we do know is that Houston already is one.

He's probably the third best player in a team that went on to reach the preliminary finals.

He's the single most important cog in their rebound game, for which they were one of the better sides throughout 2024.

By comparison, we were among the very worst.

Personally I'm happy to let Viney and Rawlings worry about the salary cap. Its the least challenging part of our predicament.

Putting aside the cost debate for a moment, I struggle to understand how you or anyone else can think Houston wouldn't service an important need for us.

Cadman?

That would be a game changer
