He's already rejected offers from WCE and Geelong. Plus he wants Walsh.Come on SOS, test the waters with pk 1....throw it out there and see what you can hook.

No I see your points.
Which is why as a club that finished with 2 wins because we had a horror injury run this year and gained first pick when we weren’t expecting it, we shouldn’t be so adamant that first pick is vital for us.
Look, as you say, players aren’t screaming out to come to us, especially the top notch players.
Which is all the more reason to overpay for those kinds of players, not middle of the road players that we already have plenty of.
We need to ween ourselves off being so addicted to pick 1 and package up a deal for top notch player, especially a pick that we definitely weren’t expecting to gain this year but for injury crisis.
Mcadam is ready made. Pick in the 40s is a kid with 30% chance of playing 50+ games. Mcadam less riskyI’m struggling to see the issue with offloading McAdam. If Gary Rohan is only worth pick 40 something I feel these state league picks are further back. I am struggling to come up with 10 decent mature aged recruits without going back as far as Podsiadsly. Having said that, I will admit a small number of players have bobbed up in the last two years and I do think Krueger could be a good get for Geelong- from us- as a 20 yo (?) mobile tall with a history of glandular fever and injury holding him back in draft years. Could be wrong but aren’t these state league picks no more than a restricted early rookie pick? A priority pick would have been much more beneficial to the rebuild of both Carlton and Gold Coast in my view.
Its overs, but thats what happens when you trade for a contracted player. We keep #1 this year which is important.
I doubt that very much 400k
Yeah I still think it’s overs the pick next year will be in the 50’s probably. Nevertheless we have McGovern which I am really happy about
Success is built around being able to select players in the second and third rounds of the draft. We could have used our two state selections to target midfielders like Tim Kelly.
Gone to the draft with pick 1 and 25 & 27 or trade one of them to GWS for Setterfield. Thats three midfielders we could have targeted plus Miles from Richmond to provide some solid depth. Isn't that why we have a recruiting team?
We still could have gone to the Draft and gained another two midfielders inside the top 30 and not have to trade any future picks. We haven't addressed our midfield at all yet we've traded 2 picks inside 30 and two state players for MM?????
They are paying kids crazy money to sign on early these day. Players like Dow, Cerra, Brodie ect would all be the same. Dow and Cerra probably a little less.I doubt that very much 400k
I'd kinda like him to have said "we're not done yet, watch this space"
Exactly. Time to lay on a bed of nails.Fasolo should get comfortable being uncomfortable
In his mind he's only done 2 ACL's.
I understand its hard to say, but any idea if SOS is looking to trade back into the second round this year.With WS we are waiting to see what essendon & GWS do re:shiel. Hope is we might be able to get involved there somehow and get him on the cheap. Otherwise it will likely be 2019 second round pick and maybe some other swaps involved. We do have our eyes on some other prospects/pick trades, nothing to share currently.
Theres overpaying and then there is OVERPAYING.
Shiel (26) vs walsh (18) both are / will be great footballers.
Say we get Shiel for the next 3-4 years whilst we are building he makes us better but when we need the talent in there peak he is on the decline.
McG (23) (who I see as not just a middle of the road player but a good player with a high ceiling) in 3-4 years will be in his prime.
I just don't see it as as bigger loss as some.
I would love some more help in the middle, but when you look at the list of the younger guys we have coming through it is not as pressing as it may seem.
With the list we have built Shiel or McG does not make us. Time and patience will. I am really looking forward to next year to see the growth and see what AR can do with these boys, but i am more looking forward to watching the next 3-4 years as I see big things happening.
Getting back into the second round this year isn't a priority atmI understand its hard to say, but any idea if SOS is looking to trade back into the second round this year.
Wow was didn’t care if we got him or not. But if that truly was his response, then I’m all in. Like that in a player and my respect level has risen, similar to when daisy did something similar last yearFas was originally three year deal, some of the team expressed concerns on that contract length. Was communicated to Fasolo, response was more or less 'Give me a one year deal, I'll prove myself'.
Can only be moved on if someone wants him, and no point moving him on for nix given the coverage he provides up forward and in the ruckI really feel we need to move casboult on...we still have way too many kpps and not enough mids on our list.
Sydney are quietly winning this trade period at the moment
Your right but for the fact we can't afford to win under 8 games for 2 years because cripps will likely leave. We need to scrape together midfield competitivness: vfl, barlow 1 year, dunstanTheres overpaying and then there is OVERPAYING.

Why? So that ppl have meltdowns should INTENDED moves don’t come to fruition?
Less bold statements; better message when you just go bang.

Great outcome. happy to give him an opportunity to prove himselfFas was originally three year deal, some of the team expressed concerns on that contract length. Was communicated to Fasolo, response was more or less 'Give me a one year deal, I'll prove myself'.
