Perplexed as how st Kilda get their 400 deals done this week...

They’re going to win trade week. Damo said so!

I wrote on pre lim final week about Gaff being blues mystery player.
A carlton player last night less mustache who brother plays for the weagles says he has heard nothing across country.
I am sure he was genuine. He did say he would be wrapped if Gaff played with him at blues.

The only way we get Grundy is if we merge with Collingwood.

If fairness, I daresay SOS and Agresta do not run recruiting targets via him.

HBF - 1st on BF post count....23,654th on word count.

I reckon gbatman takes HBF easily on word count.

Pretty sure that is Windhover's average word count per post.

Been thinking the same thing all week, irrelevant club putting their finger in every pie like Norf.

Saw Mitch last night....looking more like Twiggy now.....has really slimmed down

McGovern isn't part of the recruiting team?

Damnit.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

It's been suggested that Joe Daniher has completed a medical at Sydney?

 

[Diamond Jim 007]

I can confirm that JImmy Buckley still likes a beer. Its going to be a long flight to other side of world after beverages offered at b&f last night.

All our away games at MCG.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Current Picks: #9, #41, #46, #69, #82, #2020 R1, #2020 R2, #2020 R3
Potential Trade Assets: Levi Casboult
Targets: Tom Papley, Eddie Betts, Jack Martin.

Trade 1 - Eddite Betts
Carlton In: Eddie Betts, Out: #82

Trade 2 - Jack Martin (Option A)
Carlton In: Jack Martin and #55, Out: #46 and #2020 R2

Trade 2 - Jack Martin (Option B)
Carlton In: Jack Martin, Out: #46 and Levi Casboult

Trade 3 - Tom Papley
Carlton In: Tom Papley and Sydney #2020 R2, Out: #9 and #69

Is it going to be that simple? I think those trades are fairly reasonable.

Leaves us with #41, #55 #2020 R1, #2020 Syd R2 and #2020 R3 still as draft capital. Allowing us to:
* upgrade our position in the draft this season - for example by trading #2020 Syd R2 and #41 to Essendon for #31 and #37 maybe or West Coasts #24 and #33?; or
* go after another big trade Target without our #2020 R1 pick as the juicy carrot.

Alternatively if no alternate players present themselves, we still have capital to boost up the offers set out above to ensure wre get our men.

And do we take that to the bank ?

Happy to be proven wrong - but I just don't see Sydney giving us their second rounder for next year back with the Papley trade, and I think the GC rate Martin fair bit higher than a potentially 28+ pick next year.

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

McGovern isn't part of the recruiting team?

Eddie will be in 2021.

 

[slowhand clape]

I like the idea of Tom Cutler. Good outside runner which we don’t have a lot of. Reminds me of Isaac Smith. Good size, right age. Could play midfield, and hits the scoreboard.

Good thing Martin is out of contract so GC really don't have much of a leg to stand on then.

Re Papley, it could be unders but I just think the value of 9 is pretty high and there should be an exchange in our favour elsewhere. In the scenario above we are trading Pick #69 to Sydney for their pick #25-30 next year. Effectively a 30-40 pick upgrade in the later rounds to go along with Papley to secure Pick #9. Is that too much? Potentially and maybe if we get our ahnds on a pick #50 odd (for example from Gold Coast in the above scenario), that may be an easier sell.

Agreed - and he was kept out of the Brissy lineup because of the emergence of McCluggage and unexpected consistency and improvement of Robbo. Think he'd add a bit of depth and potential run .... and makes sense as insurance if we can't get Doc and Willo up for games.

 

[tarczonandjane]

And do we take that to the bank ?

only if they get Zak Jones (as well as Hill and Ryder) apparently. Papley, Martin, Betts.... pfffft according to Damo.

 

[Dooky]

Well aware that I will be shot down for asking the question and probably ignored altogether

But who is the mid we are seeking outside of the Papley, Martin, and Betts deals?

Gaff, Oliver, B Crouch, Wines?

 

[thedan29]

Talking to a few players last night didn’t give away too much that we didn’t already know but thought it might be worth sharing. It looks as if they’re confident Betts, Papley & Martin are all coming

Casboult mentioned he would be staying, that it’s all sorted out

Interestingly enough, Phillips wasn’t overly confident but he was hoping to stay if possible.. Bombers looming

 

[Derrrrs]

Not Carlton related, but Richmond will receive compo pick 39 for Brandon Ellis. Glad it isn’t end of first rounder some in the media have been floating
