I'm not sure even Matt's mum would have written this post... that's... that's an opinion, that's for sure.Cottrel is the best kick into fwd 50 at Carlton
They don't call him bot for nothing.Carrol's biggest issue for mine is that he just seems to lack killer instinct. Doesn't demand the footy at all.
He's an okay player overall and is still likely to carve out an okay career.
If we are going for a FA mid would much rather LDU then Brayshaw.
Yep, Brayshaw sits in their top 5, if not top 3.I don’t think Freo will finish low enough on the ladder to be happy with the compensation they receive for Brayshaw.
I’m not sure what their salary cap situation is like post Bolton etc, but they may be inclined to match any salary to force a trade.
In which chase we won’t get him.

I think I remember him kicking 2 goals once....What has Jack Carroll done to be rated so highly? Can someone please point me to even one AFL game that he was close to being among our best on the ground?
Cotts can be good when he is up and about...Jack Carroll is probably sitting at home thinking how hard done by he is for getting delisted when Corey Durdin was given a 2 year contract and Matthew Cottrell was given a 3 year contract. If this club wants to be seen as ruthless with list decisions, then maybe they should go all in. No half measures. It’s just weird.
Trade back?I feel like Cerra might fall out of that midfield.
Wow that is a weird thing to say....I find that rumour extremely hard to believe. Brayshaw really isn’t the kind of player we need either.
Geeze...We just booted 10 players and are replacing them with draftees+DFA/Rookies.
We also have 16 out of contract next season.
We'll have no issue stumping up the money for TDK

Every single player on the list is great if they are physically fit, playing well and consistent in form.I remember seeing people freaking out on here before the Sydney game because Cottrell was out injured. He was a key piece of the team that made a prelim 13 months ago

Anyone would take Andy in a heartbeat....

Big fan of this, shocked to see him delisted.We’ve expressed interest in Noah Cumberland.
Yeah, nah! Brayshaw would bring massive POD to our group of mids and could be catered for if we were to be clinical with the list. An upgrade on the out of contract Hewett next year. If we manage to get a quality young key back, we have McGovern out of contract as well, who I would argue can be replaced by a more genuine article in Kemp. Brodie is a capable defender, but he is not a stopper as we have tried to make him, freed up for the less accountable rebounder/third tall role, he becomes a weapon out of defence for mine. Haynes, then a draftee can take up the second banana slack.Fit is just as important as talent.
Jeremy Cameron is one of the best players in the league. But paying $3M a year for Charlie, Harry and Jezza would be irresponsible.
Melbourne had two of the best rucks in the league in Gawn and Grundy and realised that wasn't an effective use of talent and resources.
Clayton Oliver (when sober) is almost on par with Cripps (yes, really). But playing Cripps, Oliver, Walsh, Cerra, Hewett in the side would be unbalanced.
Managing a list and salary cap is so much more than just recruiting all the best players.
We are arguably one of the most unbalanced lists out there - we have the best spine in the league and one of the best inside midfields but we have too many holes elsewhere.
Brayshaw is an absolute gun. But I dare say we could spend $1M a year elsewhere that would improve our list more.
Give us the Cup!we would be in a god position.
Looking forward to when Charlie is regularly hit up on a lead rather than having it bombed on his head for a wrestling match.Charlie is gonna love hitting up Moir.
If we take it as true, i would assume its because we would be moving on Cerra or Hewett, both of which are out of contract, he would be a big improvement on those two. A free agent i think, so if we got him as a FA and treaded out 1-2, we would be in a good position.
Cerra will come good again....Could see Hewett going the way of Owies and Kennedy in 12 months time - good player, does a job, but as the list evolves he's definitely not guaranteed a starting spot, and he'd be well within his rights to expect starting 22 money. If he's willing to do a Cottrell and take big unders for a bit of longevity, then he's great depth, but I think it'd be his last chance for a payday and a side like St Kilda, Essendon or Richmond might be prepared to offer him 3 years on enticing money.
Cerra is just down to fitness. If his hammy issues are sorted, then he'll earn his way next year, no doubt - a fit and firing Cerra makes us much better. If not, and he struggles to put together a decent season, then we'd only get peanuts for him....would suck to see him traded for next to nothing, or worse, delisted.
That would be a good problem to have as he is a very good player. If he isn’t starting 22 we’re a very good team.Could see Hewett going the way of Owies and Kennedy in 12 months time - good player, does a job, but as the list evolves he's definitely not guaranteed a starting spot
