I don’t think soLol Tomlinson is better than Frampton
21 yo, 188 cm, 82 kgsCarroll from Carlton looks a genuine prospect. Clean hands, nice left foot, solid mark and strong tackler. Particularly noticeable is the way he naturally raises his arms and the ball above the height of would-be tackles, so that he almost always manages to get a handball away under pressure.
I want him. Great for our depth. He’s a big upgrade on Macrae and would be a better centre square rotation player than Long, Lipinski and McCreery.

I knew you wouldLegend is a strong word but I'll take it
Yep. I’ve got one too.All you Toyota enthusiasts.
I read somewhere in this thread he has pace and skills, or maybe it’s was just pace. Either way it’s puts him in front of Macrae.Am I missing something about Carroll? A midfielder who doesn't tackle, and fails to win clearances nor contested footy. How exactly is he better than Macrae, beyond being different and 9 months younger?
They had almost identically mediocre seasons in 2024.
I agree with you in terms of midfield, but the difference for me is that Carroll looks like he should be able to play defence or wing.Am I missing something about Carroll?

From what I've seen, I'm not sure either of those things are real points of difference. Didn't seem to have much breakaway speed nor dazzling skillsI read somewhere in this thread he has pace and skills, or maybe it’s was just pace. Either way it’s puts him in front of Macrae.
That's fair - he just reeks of Bytel to meI agree with you in terms of midfield, but the difference for me is that Carroll looks like he should be able to play defence or wing.

He plays with more intent when he's got the footy. I'd prefer him to Long as I think the extra depth in a wing or running back role is more needed than another depth inside mid alongside Finn and Sullivan, but not particularly fussed either way.That's fair - he just reeks of Bytel to me
Feck the trade thread. I'm bored now.
What wheels do you all drive?
I suspect Scodog10 has a tonka Hilux.
How about the rest of you. Tell me
I drive a Datsun 180B
My Pop had one when I was a Teen, he loved working on them and Holden Camira's.I drive a Datsun 180B
Tomlinson makes Tomlinson look like Tomlinson
He’s a spud. I can’t wrap my head around why he continues to be so popular.
I’d rather somebody than nobody, and at least he boosts depth. But he’s far from inspiring
No. Points increase to match next year but we can use second rounders etcSo do we actually have to have a 1st rndr next yr to be able to draft McGuane or is that a load of bs?
He has shown more than Macrae at AFL level but it is close, I think he has more pace and more of an outside game which probably shows his skills off as well.I read somewhere in this thread he has pace and skills, or maybe it’s was just pace. Either way it’s puts him in front of Macrae.
Dont think any other club has yet to announce their re-signings from those left after delistments, so maybe closer to the deadline of the list lodgement next week?Be interesting why the club has not announced re signings of the remaining 3. Might be more to do with Sullivan and his camp leaking to media than anything else

I personally think Macrae won't make it as an inside mid but maybe playing a Lipinski type role. Honestly would love to be wrong, if he turned in to a Rowbottom that would be amazing but probably won't happen.
More info if you are interested in Carroll
Edit: I have a feeling we were linked to Carroll in his draft year
I think wishful thinking outside of twitter rumourHave we actually been linked to this young fella or just wishful thinking?
