Must be like carrying a Durian around for 2 and a half years.
I was going to say as often as I change golf drivers but not even Carlton changes their coaches that often.

Can't be bothered? Will make it easier for you. Has a higher tackle and contested rate versus disposal than Steven May. Would you classify May as soft?
Langdon one of the better wingmen this year, has the same contested possession rate versus disposal as Brander.
Ultimately, not looking for the club to recruit him to play on a wing, moreso a KPP/3rd tall

May is clearly not soft and is elite in contested marking and 1% ers, Langdon excels in uncontested footy. Brander is a non physical player who doesn't excel in any category. Hope we don't recruit him, but it ain't up to me.
So we are shifting the goal posts, from using tackles and contested numbers to judge the hardness of a player, to adding more measures ?
Langdon a natural wingman, versus Brander who played in an unfamiliar role as a wingman, had the same contested possession rate
By all means call Brander soft, but then label Langdon the same perhaps
This is purely your opinion as the facts don't backup your assumptions

SPS has dominated games before. We know what he can do when he's up for it. Brander we do not.
Additionally, WCE targetting SPS and SPS wants to get to them. Brander appears like someone they don't really want to keep and we are only just considering him.
It is obvious that WCE see the potential in SPS more than they do Brander.
No way would this means Brander is worth more.

Draft talent trade for needs
Brander had a contract on the table mid year, he is leaving for more opportunities, not dissimilar to SPS who sees himself as a mid, yet with other options at the club and the acquisitions of Cerra and Hewett it would be difficult for him to be a starting mid
WC have plenty of talls, yet are looking to rejuvenate their midfield
We have the thinnest spin in the league, but have plenty of flanker types.
Whether or not we see a swap for SPS and Brander, won't change the circumstances of both players moving to other clubs for more opportunities

SPS is clearly the more credentialed player, why is this a discussion on the Carlton board?

You mean discussing SPS?
SPS checked out a while ago, no need to despair and writing is on the wall for a few other rotational midfielders, Dow,LOB, Setterfield, Fisher, all small conditional with limited aerobic capacity , can’t play 4 quarters of engine room footy.
Sam walked because limited opportunities & sensed it wasn’t going to change. Other factors too , a raging pandemic , missing home , so many factors , I don’t begrudge him a fresh start back in his home state.
Tried hard, it just didn’t work out for him as a Bagger.

Carlton want to keep SPS. If they suddenly rated Brander and thought they can get their hands on him, then they wouldn't be trying to convince SPS to stay.
At the absolute worse and I still think that is undervaluing SPS, it would be a straight swap. Any indication that Brander is of higher value has no merit imo
WC want Brander to stay too, but like SOS, they can't guarantee they play on their position of choice
My trade scenario valued the swap as even in terms of points, so why are you debating my posts

I mean implying Brander is better or worth more.
He's a KPP lacking edge who prefers to play outside runner.
Not a fan

He doesn't prefer to play as an outside runner, hence moving to a side that he can play as a KPP
I can recall another young fella at Carlton being told by the new coach he was wanted. It didn't end well, but it sent us all off on a good ride.
I'd get Jones to take Brander under his wing and show him how to use his agility and athleticism to advantage as a lockdown defender.
Hey Arrow, were you suggesting picks 29 and 52 (900 points) which is > pick 25 (760 points)?
The WCE posters pick swaps 35 and 52 (770) looks more even with pick 25.

Move on seriously, we have a glut of mids now we do not have much KPP depth. Id take brander and give him a go, as a straight swap, we arent playing sps in 1s so we really arent losing anything by acquiring a young KPP in a straight swap

gotta love the 'supporter" who knows each and every permutation of a trade and if the club doesn't line up with them someone must be "shown the door"

Old post, WC have 52 not 49
Could have my blue tinted glasses on here but how is it that Jack Martin was ‘worth’ pick 20 but we just have to accept 52 for SPS. It boggles
