All things ROK (We don't need multiple threads)

[Bluebear]

Bear, with all due respect, I'm starting to notice a recurring pattern of 'expect nothing and never be disappointed' sentiment in your opinion.

I sincerely hope that this is only symptomatic of the our recent history and look forward to your developing the arrogance side of your game and really cutting down on being reasonable, it's very unCarlton-like (and hence bad for football).

I'll give you an example:



So his 2 most likely outcomes entail him having to play with a team he doesn't want to be at and all his teammates know it (and in the Sydney scenario they also resent him for it).

The sacrifices that the genuine stars of our game make even just just for a remote chance to have the honour of donning the covetted Navy Blue never amazes me, as it is expected, but I it should still be highlighted so yet again, the other 15 clubs making up the numbers in the competition can be reminded what this game is all about: Carlton!

Sorry.....I'll try and get some swagger back.

I just can't justify bagging the crap out of Greg Denham for suggesting Fev could slip to the Swans in the PSD, and then going on with ROK getting to us.

Melbourne have more room in their cap than we think. They would take him because he would take some pressure off their forward line while it develops and add some grunt to their midfield. Seen as a mentor.

Port probably won't take him, but would see him as a great pickup.

The Dons, well it depends on how close they think they are to playing finals, but how often does aplyer of his quality get passed on for nothing.

I'm sure Stevens didn't want to come to Carlton.

 

[blue_boys]

Essendon's youth policy?

That was quick. I thought KNights was appointed because he believed that current list was in good order and not that far away from a flag.

I think you could be surprised.

Where should I start:

- Mal Michael
- Adam Ramanauskas
- Jason Johnson
- Damien Peverill

And in recent years:
- Dean Solomon
- Mark Johnson

And Scott Lucas only given one year contract

Also were you living under a rock because they played one the youngest teams ever in their last game of the year and most of their last month, and their youngsters didn't do very well.

And Lloyd, Lucas and Fletcher to go in the next 1-2 years

I had heard that AFL wanted Melbourne to reduce their TPP to 92.5% or something if they want to get more money from AFL.

The same way that O'Keefe probably wants to go to Hawthorn but will not because of money and they have last pick in the PSD. Stevens could have gone to Collingwood but they had the second last pick in the PSD.

It just happens that Carlton will be the beneficiary both times...

 

[blue_boys]

I'm pretty sure they are already only paying 92.5% of their TPP

Doubt they would be able to pay much higher considering they have hardly enough money to run their football department let alone pay close to 100% of their TPP

 

[eathb]

Port will take him for a year and then trade him

Staggering as it may be, Melbourne were actually playing close to 100% of the cap in season 2008. The AFL has made getting their TPP down to 92.5% s condition of the AFL propping them up financially,

 

[WeAreHatedAgain]

Port will take him for a year and then trade him

Then Josh Carr will "Nathan Carroll" Mark Williams for going back on his word

 

[eathb]

why cant we send 2 picks into the PSD?

 

[BlueYoss]

why cant we send 2 picks into the PSD?

Because we only need you to send us your first to beat Essendon to ROK...shame there is no provision in the AFL for trading PSD picks...

 

[Jack TY]

Been reading some great posts. An additional point is that not all clubs save a pick for the PSD so that too may help us snare him.

Thats because most of them were sitting in the stands

Good point

Clubs however will be getting rid of a lot of deadwood this year given the depth of this draft which means there will a be a bigger pool in both the ND and PSD

But with o'keefe wanting a high salary they may not be able to keep their TPP down while paying O'Keefe

That's awful. It's a huge amount of time to wait. Like, almost Christmas. Not cool.

Bloke was wide open. If he hadn't hip and shouldered him Ratts would have dragged him for sure. Fair bump, nothing to worry about at the Tribunal.

Sorry, but blue boys didn't show his duty of care to this thread......under the "let dead threads sleep" ruling.

He must be made an example of.

You thinking weeks? Can't see it myself, mind you who knows what those idiots will decide.

Lets look at the points:

• Bumping a dead thread without attempting to revive it - 2 points
• Giving false hope that there may be some news on ROK - 1 point
• Allowing post whores to needlessly add to their post counts and also continue to bump the dead thread, adding to points one and two - 5 points
• Total = 8 activation points.

I'm thinking around 8 weeks......could come down to 6 with an early plea.

FMD. Can he include pre-season threads in any of that? Not sure we have the depth to go into the ND period without him.
