Hey, actual information!

Talks between the Blues and Greater Western Sydney for defender Caleb Marchbank are yet to significantly advance with the deal likely to involve an exchange of first-round draft picks and players. Carlton's pick No. 5 appears certain to be involved in the deal with the issue being what level of compensation comes back to Carlton along with Marchbank in that exchange.

The Giants' first round pick is currently 15 but they also have Collingwood's first round pick (7) that was traded as part of the Adam Treloar deal last year.

If the deal involved pick 5 for 15 and Marchbank, Carlton would want another GWS player to sweeten the deal. Who that is and the quality of the player is where negotiations will centre.

"Appears certain", "likely to".....just more speculation, not actual information, unless you count info that probably came from BigFooty in the first place.

Cool. Glad you got that off your chest. It's still a relevant quote about Marchbank posted in a thread about Marchbank.
 
Pick 5 for Pickett Marchbank and 15
That I would be happy with but if it's Stewart, Marchbank and 15 I would be spewing. The top 5 players this year would all suit us enormously but when you get to 15 it's abit of a roll of the dice but the main reason I would hate it would be because I do not rate Stewart

I don't think Pickett was pick 4, think would involve a lot more

Perhaps Barrett or Steele too

Didn't say it wasn't. Just adding some perspective to something that could be seen as something it wasn't: ie something other than speculation, such as "actual information" as you put it.

What made you think it warranted such a condescending response?

A *&#($*$&% disaster.

Props to Sin from our podcast for calling it that at the time while everyone on our board disagreed.

Even so, I'd still pull the tigger on trading 5 if it got us Marchback and 2 of Pickett/Tomlinson/Late first rounder/Adhern/Corr/Stewart

Yeh, in principle it's an OK deal if Jaksch is a genuine top 10 player. But he's shown no signs of that, really, which is hugely disappointing.

Fast forward to now... if #5 goes out for (say) Marchbank and #15..... it is OK *if* Marchbank is a genuine top 10 player.

Maybe we're right this time? Maybe last time was a one-off mistake? Or maybe it's a terrible idea.
 
Isn't there question marks on Pickett with his foot injury and attitude?

Could be another jaksch with his slack approach.

Only dedicated and hard working players please.

Still got Marchbank and Pick 15... only 2 of the 3 have to come off to win such a deal.


So far Jaksch, Boekhorst and Whiley all look unlikely to play 100 for us.
 
Jaksch and Marchbank both high draft pick KPP's who are unprovern.
Stewart and Whiley both good NEAFL players who apparently will become afl standard with us.
I think this is why Carlton supporters are so worried about this trade it certaintly has a lot of similarities. For me Pickett has to be involved before Stewart or I just wouldn't do it.
 
Marchbank is worth a late 1st early 2nd. For pick 5 we really need a player that will play 200 games for us as that is what we could expect from a pick 5. That's not a whole heap of junk players that will all spud it up for 40 games till we delist them.
