They mentioned Leon davis and Carl Peterson as well, I would suggest that there is as much chance of Dane Swan coming as any of these three!!

As much as I hate to say this, and I pray that my information is wrong but I was told last weekend that Davis is a very good chance to be in the purple next year. This was told to me by someone close to Davis.
So because Carlton can't pick decent players for shit and grossly overexaggerate his worth 2 years ago, that somehow makes him a decent player now?
He's an undisciplined, soft, lazy frontrunner. The ability to pull the occasional goal out of your arse does not a quality AFL player make. I don't think he's beyond hope, but he's a long way from it atm.

Would much rather Dick than Petterson or Neon Leon
Tarrant + 2nd rounder for Yarran + 4th rounder would probably be closer to even but then I doubt Carlton would trade Yarran unless they had too.
[B]is unsure whether to retire or ...nd rounder would not be enough to get Yarran.

Tarrant and his wife Lauren have already started relocating to Victoria, but the 233-games veteran, who turns 30 on Saturday, is unsure whether to retire or seek another contract.
That will diminish his value. No big money offered may force him to retire.
Yarran would be nice but this is far from reality. If it was Jacobs or Hampson plus an up grade on a pick (their 2nd for our 3rd?)then we are getting close.
Your NUTS
A player who has been injured most of the year and is 30 is worth an upgraded pick and a quality ruckman who has 5-10 years left. (Plus neither would be too happy moving to Perth, one is from Queensland & 1 is from SA he is also rumored to want to go back to SA, and Carlton won't trade BOTH)
Give me the last 30 year old player who got a deal like that for there team?? No matter which team it is Freo will get a 2nd or 3rd round pick and POSSIBLY a fringe player, and you should take it, or you will get nothing.
What about Taz and Palmer for Yarran and Hampson or Yarran and Browne?
I seem to have heard that somewhere before.
Also, Tarrant is 4 months older than Fevola, who you guys managed to screw the Lions for. Would argue Tarrant is better value, eg actually plays for the team, has played good footy recently, and is not a selfish head case
Correct. Brisbane paid way too much for Fev (trade and Salary), however Fev love him or hate him he is an out and out SUPER STAR. Tarrant isn't. Fev could/can win matches of his own boot. Tarrant is a good servicable defender. Would Tarrant give Carlton anymore members? NO. Did Fev give the Lions more members? YES. Fev also provides a huge marketing profile.
The initial offer of Bradshaw (similar age to Fev) and Ritchelli(sp?) (who was only serviceable at the time just an acknowledgment that we where upgrading bradshaw) was closer to the mark. But Brisbane couldn't get there players to agree, got nervous and got it done at all costs!!
Tarrant played good footy 12 months ago, Fev's good footy was only weeks before the trade was made.
