Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

[LanceRomance]

Off to the draft we go with #9.

Or will we trade it off?

 

[dlb99]

No Caldwell
FAIL
Good on St Kilda, clearly won trade period

We will finish higher on the ladder than them next year.

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Fail of a trade period.

SOS should have packed his bags the same day we sacked Bolts.

Boot off goose

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Most of it was out of SOS' hands, what was he meant to do?

 

[Jatz]

Love the end outcome. Always thought pick 9 was way too high for a small forward.

Martin wasn’t worth what GC wanted either.

SOS has done bloody well not to buckle late on.

 

[dragonsblues]

It’s not guaranteed but if we get Martin for nothing that’s a win.

We then had 2 first round picks, we needed to do more on a Wines, other midfield or small forward to add to the team.

 

[Navara79]

It's not Gaureenteed tho

It is when you can front end contracts so other clubs can't match

 

[TBellicious]

Absolutely disgraceful negotiating from SOS and team

I am furious, that is unacceptable

 

[Jimmae]

What about if he wasn't interested?

Unlikely

Clearly Carlton didn't want him.

More likely

 

[FRUMPY]

Gutted. Our membership will take a hammering

You not renewing? No loss

No help for Cripps
1 season’s worth of relief in our small forward stocks
Still holding a pick in the draft that we were destined to trade

This is a shocking outcome for Carlton. There’s no way around it

 

[bleednavyblue]

SOS stood his ground, Papley wasnt coming without * taking the swans deal on Daniher. Dodoro now has kept a player to contract/against his will! I can see Daniher being A permanent resident in the rehab room! Feel for Papley, Martin and Daniher. Can we get Martin in PSD?

 

[jooce8891]

Thank God Betts is a thick silver lining.

is it really

 

[Red_man2008]

What a shit show for the AFL, AFLPA and GC. I’m so pissed. Keath just went for a future 3rd. Jenkins for a future 5th. Bonar for a future 3rd. Ah Chee for a future 2nd and 4th. We offered over for both our options and they turned it down despite asking to be at Carlton. Either the AFL have told GC to do this and shaft us (wouldn’t ****ing surprise me) or they’re all ****ing idiots. Did I mention how pissed I am.

 

[Mr_Plow]

Disappointed about Papley mostly, but if Sydney weren't willing to deal fairly, then that's on them.

Gold Coast can go **** themselves.

We'll get Martin for free, thanks.

 

[teagueyubeauty]

Meh, we were never guaranteed Papley and Sydney didn’t want him to go.
Now we get Martin at free agent rates, pick up another good kid and keep a full deck of picks next year

 

[tattooedJESUS]

9 for Martin and 15. Why would
You not do that? We had plans to get out of the first round anyway!

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Suns wanted pick 9 for Martin and 15

Why give up 9 when we will get him for free

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Had Wines asking to come to Carlton and said no.

Failed to get Papley.

Failed to get Martin.

Bye SOS.

2 contracted players. We don't know the facts about Wines.

 

[Jimmae]

Cornes turning 'not paying overs' into 'going all in, but being unable to get the deal done'.

 

[The Defender]

I never thought Papley was worth pick 9. I’d rather hit the draft and get a gun midfielder. Small forward is not the only hole on our list

Pick 9 is unknown, Papley is a very good player.

 

[Ruckus]

There are countless moving pieces involved, and it's a volatile situation, clearly - but a very disappointing outcome.

On face value, it appears we went all-in with our targets and opted not to pursue a 'Plan B'. Given the value of the Butler trade, for example, we appear to have missed the boat here - he would've improved our list, and cheaply.

Bit off more than we could chew in the end, as it turned out, but trades can always fall through if the other mob won't come to the party. Where I think this looks poor is the (apparent) lack of a contingency plan.

 

[LanceRomance]

TheRedPill what was the stitch up?

 

[FRUMPY]

Should of tried to get Butler at least and to shrug off Wines is a massive fail as far as I'm concerned.
Not happy. Put all their eggs in one basket without looking further.

Yes, get a player we didn't want just to make a trade and please the nuffies. And wines would have cost way too much plus port wouldn't let him go anyway

How?

The National draft or the PSD
