Rarely sighted in the first half but actually looked good when in the ruck after half time & looked the best that I can remember seeing him in the centre bounces ! Mind you Mumford’s strength isn’t his centre bounce work

Well, Mumford gave Nank a bath CCJ beat him hands down and didn't look too bad around the ground either. If we trade him well my years and years of support won't be renewed i rate him so much.
A bath? The guy had 5 touches and not 1 mark for the whole match.
Not his best match but far out it'd be nice to see how he looked playing alongside a midfield with a half decent stoppage structure.

Absolute priority signing. Everyone screaming we need to take KPP’s at the draft, and we do, but we have one here who’s about to explode and we might trade him? Madness to let him go. If he goes, it has to be for a first round pick, nothing less
We cannot afford to lost him!!

lol the overhype on CCJ is ridiculous. Comments like this saying he is “about to explode” are ridiculous. He is tracking nicely to be a average to decent AFL player which we would take.
Your opinion dude, just like mine, hes a priority signing
I hope he stays. What price has he got on his head? A back ended contract would help us. Houli is about the only money being freed up this year. Cotchin and JR next year.? I don't know what clubs are into him? Crows I presume. Was there some talk the Giants wanted him? Mumford must be close to retiring.
Worried me a little that he was fully engaged in a discussion with Mumford after the final siren
that went on for a while
I don’t think he’s have that big of a price on his head just yet, he’s still very young and inexperienced.
With the time GWS have put into Briggs/Flynn and what they’ve both shown this year I don’t think they’d need another young ruck.
It appears the Suns still have a reasonably tight cap and will have their own kids to re-sign so whilst I firmly believe they want him I don’t think they’d be offering astronomical money or anything to earth shattering.
The Crows are an interesting one, they’ll have money to burn and CCJ is of course from SA but they really haven’t had a strong link to him as of yet.
I’d imagine his agent would want to back himself in to be in a much better position in a couple of years time, similar to Bolton I’d expect they’d just want a two year deal and to then try and get the big deal and money when he’s more proven. I cannot see a big money or long contract being thrown his way just yet.
Could have just been an old veteran giving a kid that plays his position some adviceWorried me a little that he was fully engaged in a discussion with Mumford after the final siren
I don't want to lose this bloke. Would much rather offload Chol.
Hopefully him being given these last few games over Chol is a sign that the club feels the same. In saying that, if the kid wants to go there's not much we can do.

The question for me is;
Chol can walk out and maybe AFL gives us a pick back (3). CCJ is a double edge sword.
1. Club wants him guarantees him game time.
2. He wants to leave so we package up a deal to bring in our 3 first round pick. This way if we are knee deep into an inside mid we can utilize it if required. Of note: there appears to be some good forwards in the draft in our range 5-30 range.

Surely Caddy, Naish, Garthwaite, Miller , Aarts, Castagna , Houli, Astbury will be at least discussed in not being offered contacts, let go or traded? What is the above worth 1.2 -1.4 million?

We will have to keep either Garth or Miller as we have nobody forward or back taller than 193cm besides Biggy on our list. So we will either trade in or draft in some talls. Only way we can drop both or either.

100% agree - suggestion of training CCJ are ridiculous!! - a 20 yr old 200 cm who can play who we have put development time into is far more valuable than another late first round pick - He is a MUST RE SIGN !!!
Im not really fussed if it is actually the GWS that is the team he wants to go to (if he does actually want to leave)Worried me a little that he was fully engaged in a discussion with Mumford after the final siren
GWS has the assets that we need and would be the best team to trade him to.
They have Green , Hopper , Toranto as well as 2 very very good picks #2/#3 Pies pick and also they will have their own 1st Rounder which should be #10-#15 range
If Cj gets us Tom Green i will drive him to Blacktown
I've seen enough of Garth to say his best is VFL level and our 2nd 1st round pick we could take best available KPB as a replacement. I'd be confident a 1st year kid at that pick would have a lot more upside and if the kid had some size, wouldn't need 2-3 years of development. Garth will be 24 next year. Not sure on Miller's contract but if he is out of contract I'd offer him a rookie contract as the depth as he's not coming on as hoped.
But we need a Sam Taylor type and that'll take a high pick to raise the success likelihood (assuming there is one available).
All my opinion of course, but I don't see any close to above average traits let alone elite.
I hope that the reason he has been playing ahead of chol is some indication who’s more likely to be at Richmond next year , after some exposed form my conclusion is we d be mad to lose him , take 2-3 years for a drafted tall replacement to get to his level

Good strong hands , anyone would be wetting themselves if a draftee showed that marking ability
Yep Garth is a battler , there are several moments where he’s had the sit to take a strong mark and underline himself as a senior player and I reckon he’s dropped all but one of , on last line of defence it’s dangerous practise and a real bottom side pattern . I’d rather Oscar McDonald on the list , he can take a grab
