Haha, I think maybe the Mars bar would be stickered at $5, but when you took it to the register he‘d say “$7 bucks”, but you really want it, so you say “I have $6”, and he’d go “the Mars bar isn’t available for less than $9”

Not sure if this has already been posted (couldn't find it). Nothing too interesting although it states * reckon they'll land Cutler. Also they spelled Papperly strangely....

First time poster, long time reader. Have to say i am bloody excited. SOS is a genius and he will do his stuff. Come Wednesday evening we should have Papley, Martin and Betts. That is three best 22 players and our young list will improve on the back of another Jack Russell pre-season. With a decent run with injuries next year i can see us finishing in 7th or 8th possie. Would be so brilliant to once again watch our boy's playing in a final.
Could be a Good Friday and we all eat the big fish who knows. In other news... Anyone had fish with spaghetti?

Educated guess while being told to stay calm and have confidence in SOS by a Carlton and another club's insiders.
Betts is done from all reports.
Gold Coast are happy with progress in talks - reported.
Swans insiders understand the need for Papley to move. It will get done despite the negativity of the media. Remember, negative news about Carlton sells so they'll hold on as long as they can.
The others are likely to be Pittonet, Cutler who we've been linked with and someone SOS has up his sleeve.

landfill............
I think the Dockers are just trying to scare the Saints to be honest. Plus they were asking for 2 top 6 draft picks plus a third rounder, I’m not keen on getting in that type of action.

How can you criminally overvalue something you depend upon to build your list? All of our talent were draft picks.
What I think Carlton has criminally undervalued, is adding top end U18 talent to our list every year, perhaps this excludes a top four finish with an aim for a premiership however that's definitely not Carlton in 2019. I think if we were to be left with no picks inside the top 40 in this years draft it would be risky and premature. But hey, I'm certainly no expert I just worry a little that we're jumping the gun.
Certainly over the past 20 years overall, we have definitely failed to add u18 talent. Sometimes it was because we ID'd the wrong U18 yo's and sometimes it was because we went after big fish eg Judd , Brock and the result is a paucity of mid aged talent now.
But SOS has turned around our underage problem and now has to try to rectify our mid aged hole. He has tried to do this over the past few years by using non premium cast offs and that is a low hit % game . Now he has the relative luxury of being able to target for need and to use premium picks to attract EXACTLY the right players that we need. Papley and Martin fit into this category perfectly and we should not begrudge paying slight premium to bring Papley in.
We cant keep adding Papley's at the expense of younger players, but for this year and possibly the next, we should have no problem.
In assessing this strategy we should always keep in mind that SOS effectively pulled another young player pick forward from this year into last years draft in the form of Stocker. Stocker should be considered our premium 2019 draftee and the pick 9 should be considered a free hit. If that is Papley then so be it. He has my vote.

In 7 years time after Papley and Martin have played over 100 games for us, will it matter whether we payed pick 2-3 picks over for Either player?
In those 7 years I would expect to play finals 5 times and be a serious challenger in several.
If either player improves after crossing to us, we will be the club better off.

In my life, I love you more.
I agree
I’m not really edumocated re Martin. Is there much certainty he will deliver?
