Hot Topic Carlton 2024 Trade Discussion

[Arr0w]

no, a mature age player - who can play!!

A DFA or someone currently at another club, who are you suggesting

 

[LanceRomance]

are we getting Butters now? how are we going to pull that off?

I think we tell him there a bunch of AFL footballers he can whack in the guts (without getting fined) just off lygon St.

When he turns up, we bag him.

 

[bourbons]

Owies has also met with GC and WC.

I can’t believe we’re happy to offload him but keep the likes of Durdin. Makes no sense.

For real. Like WTF is going on

To prioritise Durdin and Fantasia over Owies is absolute insanity, there has to be a reason. Owies looking for a career deal and we're saying too much?

 

[BlueTongue]

Someone explain to me why we aren't saying sayonara to Fantasia and paying him out?

Isn't that exactly what we did with LOB?

Same reason he was recruited, same reason he kept getting picked in front of others, would be my guess.

 

[swuzzlebubble]

Is there somewhere where someone has actually explained the intricacies of how a trade gets done?

For example, let’s say West Coast want Owies and Carlton is happy to trade Owies to West Coast.

Why does the trade then take several days? What processes does it have to go through?

I don’t know whether someone has ever actually outlined this detail. But I would be really interested to know what happens.

Also Owies manager would be confirming the WC contract details, potentially trying to squeeze a bit more out and also ringing around to check another club isn't keen to offer more. Owies himself might need a few days to mull it over with partner/family if moving interstate etc and also wait in case of preferred destination coming through

Durdin and Fantasia are both contracted and would be worth nothing at the moment. Owies does not have a contract and actually has some value. If we are looking to clear some salary I would also assume a new Owies deal would be greater than the deals Durdin and Fantasia have currently.

You can't? Really?

If Motlop ever kicks 30+ goals in a season I'll eat my hat.

Motlop kicked 24 goals in 21 games in 2023 (his second year) - I don't think the jump to 30 is that significant.

A player that’s probably just going to take Fantasia’s spot as the teams whipping boy?

 

[swuzzlebubble]

They don't need to do the work. Houston is contracted.

Port are planning other trades which would assume Houston leaving so they're not completely ambivalent. They may bundle our F1 with other picks and other clubs to turn it into something that better suits themselves

Either a KPD, a genuine swingman... or a speedy mid.

No names in mind, certainly a few I wouldn't want....

I do like Ollie Lord (as a 3rd tall option). From Sandy...under contract till '26, but...

Don't follow the State leagues - VFL, SAFL or WAFL closely enough to know what's out there these days.

Even a likely indigenous kid/young man from NT?

They will need cap space for Luko and perryman and cummin. They most likely will need to off load Houston

that's all up to the skill of those selecting the list!!

We're due a few gems in the rough...

We could achieve any of that without having to cut any other player, if certain players are traded out

The 17 AFL players who have requested a move and the latest on them ahead of the trade period

The trade period is around the corner and nearly 20 players are already on the move.

Can't think butters would be less than p1+f1 and a huge salary.

Incredible player but I just can't see a way to make it work

At 19 years of age during 2023, typical recency bias where our HPT completely ruined his season after looking dynamic and fit during the preseason

Yes, but is OF going to help us get #17?

Very, very highly unlikely, so why not give someone else a crack....

Yes.

I think OnlyFans could help the club make a lot of money quickly which would help us acquire more resources.

No side has players of greater quality than young developing types, or role/break glass types

Focusing on the likes of Fantasia, really is insignificant in the scheme things

 

[Blue_Fusion]

If we get pick 12 from GC for our F1... can we please just use it at the draft along with 11?

 

[HarryFlashman]

I’m with u, so many people out there looking for a chance, 100% he should be a kid/mature rookie or DFA with limited chances.

 

[BIuebagger]

Cumming has nominated the Crows over Port

 

[Crippa#9]

Enjoyed seeing that Conor Stone is undecided about staying at the Giants. Make it happen Austin

Has done something like seven hamstring's since he was drafted.

The kid has talent but please not another player we trade in with dodgy hammies; Cerra, Saad, McGovern, Martin, Williams...
I can't take it anymore!

 

[Crippa#9]

Cumming has nominated the Crows over Port

For a whole host of reasons, Perryman nominating Port has now become critical in our ability to bring in Houston.

I'm tipping the moment Perryman chooses Port, you will see a Carlton nomination by the Houston camp.

 

[BIuebagger]

I’d be having a throw at the stumps to get Konstanty on the cheap from the Swans. Played 12 games in VFL, kicked 14.13. 3 tackles or more in 11 of those games. Avg. 11.3 disp. Say he’s got a bit of Papley about him. But I think he’s also had injury issues like Stone.

if you say so.
