I respect the effort, but there is no way we are paying just Pick #6 for Cerra.

Will require #24 as well or a player.

If you have something to sell, that you value at $150 and you only have one buyer, they are offering $100.

Do you.

a. Take the $100

or

B. Throw it in the bin?

For arguments sake, what Vic club do you think would trump our offer of pick 6?

If you look at the Prestia trade to Richmond, the Tigers got change from pick 6, for a player who was producing a higher output to what Cerra is.

Cerra might be worth a little more than 6, but Freo isn’t going to throw him away for nothing.
 
stupid suggestion, but we should see if it is worth going after bevo kinda like when freo got ross (nobody saw that coming). has developed arguably the best midfield in the comp and has eeked out good results with average at best KPP. chances of getting him are 0.000000000000000000001% but as Dick Pratt once said, we are not after the best available, we are after the best.

Sam Pang is at $41 if anyone wants to punt
 
Please stay away from Lipinski.

The classic too good for VFL / fringe of a good side but not good enough to make a difference in a poorer team.

Also if people think carrying LOB makes us soft, we would lose way too much in the competitiveness stakes at the coal face having all of Lipinski, Cerra (who is also not a competitive beast), Dow, Fisher, SPS, LOB. Not criticising them - you don't need every player to be a Ollie Wines, far from it - just that it'll put the balance out of whack even further when we should actually be trying to correct it the other way.

Great post
 
The mods were falling over each other to be PM'd the info.

Shortly afterwards Clarkson's odds plummet.

Conclusion: The weight of the rumour is proportionate to that of the mods wallets/purses.
1. I never got a PM

2.You would be silly to bet on it IMO as Lyon was paying $1:20 this time last week.


 
We have much better players than him waiting for a good coach to take control

Why are our guys, much better?

Lipinskis form line in the VFL, is a lot stronger than Setters, SPS, LOBs, Dow’s and Kemp’s. I’m not sure if that translates to AFL, just wondering, why our kids are better?

The Suns threw Jack Martin in the bin, then we rummaged through their trash and picked him out before the dump truck arrived 😂

I’ve heard from a reliable source that Clarkson may still be our coach for next year. He’s apparently reconsidered whether he wants to coach next year in the recent days. A meeting is being organised with the board for next week.

Well someone needs to let him know that he needs to go through the process first....

Because our kids are always better, you just wait to see how much better Lipinski will be the minute we sign him.
 
Recruitment guys are going to have their work cut out trying to get Cerra and Lipinski in the door without a coach lined up. Might need to speed up the selection process. I'm suggesting a speed dating type of arrangement where all potential coaches turn up and we do a quick whip around.
Agree. This is somewhat concerning. When is trade week/month? we better get our butts into gear so solidify the 'pitches' to all these people we are about to get linked too.

Also - I'm scared about the potential 'I want out' requests... YIKES.

Our offer for Martin was a pick in the mid to late 20s, in a year the GC were handed generous draft concessions and where GC could threaten to redraft him.

Theres a big difference making a faux stand, when you will lose a pick in the mid 20s, compared to throwing away pick 6 and your clubs chance to take two top 10 picks.
 
sure - never said any different - my beef is with the coverupperers and those who believe holding people accountable is somehow "virtue signalling" whatever the hell that is.........
Yes I know. Just putting out my thoughts for discussion
why is the opinion of someone who is part of a bigger movement, described as a personal agenda? you don't read my posts on carlton, the club, the games, performances, history, wins, highs, lows, disappointments, euphoria? I also have an interest in equal rights, human rights, women's rights and other progressive movements as do a lot of others around the place - but now I'm told I have an agenda?
Spot on. Hate the term personal agenda as if it’s covert. This forum is big enough to handle different viewpoints. It can actually be intellectually refreshing. We don’t have to agree with each other
