Hot Topic Carlton 2024 Trade Discussion

[tarczonandjane]

Wow.... have a look at this idiot:

IF the Pies' off-field problems are growing larger by the day ... THEN

The Trade Period is over but Sliding Doors is still in top form ... and Damo's got plenty to say

www.afl.com.au

In fairness, he seems lukewarm on pretty much every club’s trading efforts.

And for a second thing, the melts around here will be enormous if pick 3 is a bust. I support what the club did. But they have to get the pick right. And that’s essentially what Damo is saying.

Damo has said we gave up 3 first round picks in the trade... We only had this years and next... He's an idiot

 

[Juice030103]

It’s just false to say it was 3 first round draft picks by him

Even opposition supporters are saying this. It’s an easy mistake to make… if you have an agenda.

Completely beside the point... have a read of what he said we gave up...

To be fair counting has never been the Pies fans strong suit

 

[Juice030103]

Lol

 

[RPCB]

Lol

Good start from Dan. Let the Collingwood fanbase know that he wanted to play for their biggest rival.

 

[carlton_99]

Carlton gave up three first rounders for pick 3 despite at no point in the trade period having three first rounders...? What is this sorcery!

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Said it elsewhere, but I think there's a power struggle between Voss on the one hand and Austin (and possibly Cook?) on the other - the necessary refresh suggests that Austin finally won that argument, next step is to nail the draft picks

There's a story that Hardwick was annoyed at the Richmond list manager for trading a player away saying 'hes best 22 what are you doing' etc and the list boss saying 'we know you think that that's why we traded him away'.

I don't think it's a bad thing to have those clashes. Those two positions can never really be aligned unless you're in last. Think it's a good sign and it's Lloyds job to balance those powers.... Which is a bad sign.... Because..... Lloyd.....

This might be the Carlton messiah complex speaking... but something tells me the incoming CEO will have formed a view on Lloyd's performance in that role

 

[tarczonandjane]

I’m well aware of what Damo wrote. As RPCB says, the narrative about three first round picks to get pick 3 is already well and truly established. We can huff and puff about that on here all we like, but it won’t move the dial. Get angry, belittle Damo, do whatever you like. It won’t change a thing.

The more substantive part about Damo’s comment is that we need to nail pick 3. And he’s spot on. If we stuff it up, the melts on here will be enormous.

Again, I support what the club did.

 

[Gethelred]

The only reason you trade up like that is if you have a player or two specifically in mind and you know they'd be taken by your first pick. You don't engage in shenanigans for shenanigans' sake.

I'm interested - and excited - to know who's a better prospect than both picks 12 and 14 could've been together.

maybe ist the immediate impact - form what i have seen of the potential pick 3 they could all go from day 1, especially given crippa walsh hewett and cerra in that midfield

not sure if 12 or 14 could go form day 1

 

[JimmyRabbit49]

Barrett claims Blues gave up 3 first round picks to get pick 3- how on earth does he work for the AFL and still not understand how trades work

 

[teagueyubeauty]

If everything fell into place for us on the night, id love to put young Reid balls in a vice and see what he’d cough up for Draper in a swap of 3&4

Is Reid still at the crows? Another with incriminating photos if he is

I'm looking forward to giving him the number 7 and calling him The Dominator 2.0 for the next 12-14 years.

Perhaps by the end of his career the story will go that he cost us 5 first rounders, and Damo won't be able to believe we got him at such a steal.

Rumours of young Reid and Collingwood

He's still there for now and even more incredible is the Pies are chasing him....

But the Pies are such an amazing club. They've traded away last years first and this years, still paying half of Grundy's salary, still paying Treloar 300k next year.
Paying Perryman 900k, god knows what they are paying Houston. Nicky D, although an absolute gun is earning incredible amounts.

The only person in the AFL earning more is Graham Wright (lol) but that is why we have to call him the Deputy CEO.
Please please please everyone, stop mentioning the football department.

I believe young Reid used to work for Kelly.
Gotta love Kelly, young Reid and Leppa running the show at the magpies

People HATED Liddle, even though he did a lot of good. He fall to the old firm for calling out SOS and a few others.
People dislike Mr. Teflon Lloyd. I’m not sure what he does, but he’s untouchable.

But my word, I’d take the two of them back before stepping near Kelly.

To really put it in perspective.
Bolton has gone to work at the Saints over working under Kelly…..
People might of forgotten how much SOS and Bolton didn’t get along. So imagine how uncomfortable Bolton felt under Kelly to go and work with SOS and his best mate Lyon.

Photo finish between him and Schache for the most insipid big man award …

Curnow's draft reports are so fun to look back and read.

Not a good set shot and not a great field kick either... lazy (even though he was one of the highest scorers in the beep test).
On the plus side he is a great contested mark, and has huge upside. Likely to be a Jake Stringer type player....

Pure gold.

I would have thought Harry Armstrong would be the player the Roo's need. Shame they didn't take Logan McDonald when they had the chance.

You're right that McDonald would’ve made a lot more sense than Phillips to draft, but is Logan McDonald actually that good? He’s obviously a better player than Will Phillips and he would fill a need a lot more than Phillips does, but I don’t think either are particularly that good.

I feel like McDonald will struggle to ever be the number 1 guy in an AFL forward line and will only ever be a pretty good number 3 tall forward. He might be able to develop into a pretty good number 2 guy, but I just really struggle to see it.

I guess he still is only 22, turning 23 next year, so maybe I’m being a bit harsh. We should know within the next year or two, if he is him or not.

You gotta love some of those draft reports when you go back and read them. This gem was from from one of the draft experts on the main page

''...I see him as a slow, unfit clearance winner with little versatility...and how much development is still to come?"

"...He isn't particularly quick, and although his kicking is solid, sometimes he can get under the ball a bit and not lower his eyes. Not sold on his versatility either, particularly going forward. He has shown some good signs linking up on the outside, but not sure he is quite using his size to it's full potential outside of the stoppages...''

''...a true big bodied inside midfielder - very strong at the stoppages, his clearance work is right up there with the best and he moves through traffic really quite well. Which is all great, but I feel as though he lacks a bit of hurt factor...''
