You would have to part a 1st Rounder at the very least for JA.

Carlton looking for a Key Position Defender

Conversely, given anything for Gibbs is probably wishful thinking, how highly do the Blues rate Jordan Russell? (and please don't do the greatest player ever angle to drive up trade ratings)
Jordan has done it the hard way. After years as resident whipping boy he seems to have the respect of most supporters.
Tailed off a it in recent weeks but his last 5-6 games of last year and first half of 2010 were top shelf. Still only 23 and with 90 games under his belt he is basically a rock solid HBF for the next 7-8 years
His value is something close to what we paid for him...pick 9 in a weak draft.
Lot being made of this indirect quote in one of the weekend rags. Bock would be a nice fit for a lot of teams but at 27/28 he is (rightly) looking for dollars. GC would have the inside running I would think. Aside from that Adelaide have plenty who would interest, but probably few you would be willing to part with.
The only thing being parted at that rate would be our cheeks.

Only if we get Dangerfield in the deal also.If the Blues consider themselves a premiership threat within the next 3 years, which I think you do (right? to cash in on the Judd inluence while you can?), surely Bock must be the one you will go hard for. His game against the Dogs showed he is still one of the best in the business, and he's only 27, so a good few years left in him yet. Maybe package him up with a high draft pick and...
In return, we'll take...Gibbs, and bring him back to where he should be

JA has a higher goal avg than JR. Young KPP who can play both ends don't grow on trees.
He would be worth a 1st Round pick at min.

I think Alex Rance (id) may be offered up. Not much chop at Richmond but who knows at a different club??

You can have Collier for a 3rd rounder.

I hope we don't chase Brown who hasn't developed.
Lacks the legspeed and agility to play full back.
Anthony wouldn't play full back ahead of Jamison.
The Pies always over value their players, so it's hard to see Carlton coming to terms with them.

Yet he has proven himself as a forward at AFL level. A heap of players are drafted as defenders, doesn't make them AFL standard defenders. As I said he is a forward, and is actually a bloke I hope Essendon have a crack at, although I'd rather Sean Rusling imo.
Then the Collingwood VFL team should think themselves very lucky to have him for the coming few seasons.

Does the thought of developing players ever enter their mind at Princes Park?

The fact is, you can't have Brown. He isn't for sale. The only reason he hasn't played alot of senior footy (apart from his shoulder injury), is because we have a very good FB in Presti. Also, when Presti missed a month of footy, it was Brown who filled the void and made Presti's absence hardly felt. His closing/leg speed is also up with the best, particularly over 20m. He is also very strong aerially and takes many overhead marks one-on-one with his direct opponent. You got a close look at him a fortnight ago where he was too big and strong for your boy Hampson. Hampson's only goal on Brown came from a dubious free kick in the opening term.
You are correct about Anthony playing FB over Jamison though. Jack hasn't played as a key back for 2 seasons now, having been developed as a key forward. He would walk into your best 22 however.
We dont need another <193cm part time defender. We need a 194cm+ strong bodied, natural defender. Would prefer a Matt Watson or Patrick McCarthy any day.
He's played in defence at AFL level as well, in fact he has done it this year. It's just a difficult team to break into at the moment.
John Anthony is an Adam Hunter type player, and could be very useful on the right list. Another comparison would be Luke Macpharlin, but Anthony and Hunter were never as talented in the air as Macpharlin, who hasn't really fulfilled his potential.
Tyson Slattery is not a KP player. He's 189cm. He's a medium defender who can occasionally pinch hit as a tall.
He's also not a first year player.
The two drafts weren't exactly the same strength.
Those couple of cms have to be the most over-rated measurement in footy.
You apparently wouldn't take M Scarlett, Craig Bolton, Croad, Bock, Rutten, Taz.... the list goes on.
i have faith enough in Jamison and Bower, both 192cm, to be the future Scarletts or tarrants or Bocks.
However, outside of that we have little options, and we get arse r*ped everytime a resting ruckman comes forward. Forgive me for wanting a BIG defender who can hold his own against the Mcintoshs, Coxs.. ****, Sandilands had a near BOG game against us marking some long ones up forward..

John Anthony has a fair way to go before he's in Hunter and Macpharlin's league...
