Always liked him but is it a position of need? We’ve got Plowman, Newman, Williamson, Kemp, maybe Parks.
I prefer the idea of a workhorse like Hewett as an Ed Curnow replacement or investing in some goal kickers than picking up a slight improvement of what we’ve already got.
He'd be an upgrade rather than filling a need position tbf, fair point.

Getting one doesn't necessarily mean losing another, but if it were you'd have to lean the way of need.

Still waiting for that domino to fall…

Nothing will happen until Geelong's season is over if Plan A is to come together
 
Seems like the media is clutching at straws - trying to stay relevant because it's a quiet news week until the finals this weekend. Carlton has always been the media's favourite target and we still don't have a new coach so we are easy to create rumours about - whether they're fact or not, the media is also bitter as hell because the leaks at Carlton are no where near as bad as they used to be, heaven forbid we are following a process, god Carlton being quiet is such a crime, someone call the AFL police.

This.

Media need clicks. It's no secret bad Carlton news sells.

Either engage with what I'm saying or don't bother please.

You (and others) thinking that calling people that is some kind of snide and cool insult to detract from my posting, says more about you than it does me. It's lazy and it's cheap.
From what I have seen its you that does the insults.

Do you live under a bridge?

No, it's the exact opposite. I want people's politics and personal agendas completely out of it and away from my sports. That has always been my gripe and something I will do whatever is in my powers as a member and/or stakeholder to achieve. I may yet get an opportunity to do so sooner rather than later unfortunately.

'My sports...'

lol

Are we talking about Jake Kelly? He's not an upgrade on anything or anyone. Ultra defensive and has never taken a kick of more than 20 metres, which indicates that he is a pretty poor kick.

Pretty sure that he has never finished top 10 in the crows b & f. Pies decided they didn't want him as a father/son.

Plowman has him covered by the veritable length of the flemington straight. Imagine Jake Kelly playing on Charlie Cameron or Jack Darling like plowman can. I can never quite work out the hate for plowman on here. His one weakness is quick leading players one out at full forward. A good coach would ensure that didn't happen. Every other task he gets he does.

"I don't agree with this person, must be a troll. Reeeeeeeee"

Where have I insulted anyone? Unlike some of these people who always resort to that kind of thing when they cannot have a discussion with someone they may disagree with. Predictable AF.
 
He may have continued the riddles but as journalists you'd think it's their responsibility to at least ask the question of him.

EDIT - After reading KohPhi reply, he is probably right. I'm probably asking too much of Footy Classified.

Stating the obvious when I say media do not exist for you or I.

Media is a business and exists solely to get people to watch advertising and generate $.

Whatever works goes.

Anyone watching these shows expecting any journalistic professionalism or integrity has set their expectations way too high.

I don't agree, I think Kelly is a very reliable 3rd tall.

I don't hate Plowman and have been a defender of him, though I'm well aware that he is no more than a B/B- grader who can be improved on. That may not be Kelly, that's fine I could be wrong, but Plowman isn't a position of strength. He's reliable enough to not need immediate replacing, but he's also not invulnerable should an option present itself. I think Kelly could be that option.

Tbh I think he'd be replaced by Marchbank if he can stay fit. That's a big if obviously given his history, but if he does get a consistent run we don't need to look at anyone outside the club.

The way you write in a 'me against them' manner says a lot about you.
We don't need tribalism on here, it is not conducive to openness and productive outcomes.

You are aware we're on a forum dedicated to a sport, one of the most accepted and encouraged forms of tribalism in the world?
 
You know who else was assistant coach of the year? Rhys Shaw

I was on a fairly large night out once and found myself standing next to Stevie J at the bar. Struck up a conversation with him and chatted quite a bit about the AFL (actually a really nice guy). The conversation naturally evolved in to a conversation about Rhys Shaw. Stevie J told me that Rhys was a bit of a laughing stock amongst the Sydney players. So much so, the players thought it would be hilarious to all nominate him and put him up for the assistant coach of year award. It was all one massive inside joke.

NOTE: not condoning nor supporting any of this, just relaying what he told me.

Totally. I am constantly amazed at how many people make up the AFL media. There seems to be dozens & dozens of people trying to squeeze a quid out of it.
