, but given he chose North over Geelong when North were shit, surely he doesn't leave them now they're getting some wins together?

 

[cats_09]

After today I'm happy to pass on any interest in Tabener

In yesterdays VFL game I liked the look of Alex Mirkov. He is Carlton's third string Ruck. 210 cm and 24, not going to be a star but should be competitive. We are not getting anyone with significant AFL experiance and I definitly want to add some ruck depth. I feel we dodged a bullet yesterday with Darcy and Treacy missing for them. If we got him and Furphy went past him so much the better.

While I was happy to see Darcy miss, if we play Freo in finals and they have the same team as yesterday + Darcy I would fancy our chances.

Pearce and Treacy missing were the big outs. Not Darcy, dude is cooked.

With Furphy looking better as the year has gone on ruck just doesn't seem like a need right now.

Conway if he can stay fit and play 15+ game
Blics/Furphy can cover 5-10 games between them and SDK could play a few if needed as well.

At most i would grab a back up ruck for a 4th rounder to play a few games if needed.

If at the end of next year Conway can't stay fit Edwards isn't coming along then go for a ruck.

Furphy is miles off afl conditioning.

Hey guys,
Very (very!!) long time lurker, first time poster. I know full well that debut posts are taken with a grain of salt so make of this what you will.

A mate of a mate says he has been told by a very close contact at the club that Smith is 100% done and dusted and has been for a while, which lines up with everything we've been hearing lately.

He also said that we are "very heavily into a superstar midfielder that no one is talking about". We have Stanley, Tuohy, Duncan and Hawkins coming off the books, and Dangers contract was heavily back ended, so we have a LOT more cap room than people realise.

No, I'm not making it up. And no, I'm not Mahlepi. But it looks like the "mystery mid" might actually be a thing this year. The question is... Who?

Anyone who breathes life back into the Mystery Mid™ saga is a welcome addition!

Do you mean front heavy?

 

[Kobe Gryant]

Strap yourselves in ladies & gentlemen, it's Clarry time!!!!

We're no longer a football club. More like a rehab clinic for troubled young souls.

Don’t care if he’s a drunk piss head who’s addicted to the pokies.
I’d take him

With what I've heard about the Dees culcha I'm more inclined than I would've been.

I don't doubt that Clarry is a dumbass, but he's not the problem either. Merely part of it.

Fish rots at the head, and when your coach has the same problems as the so called 'troubled players' then this is what you get.

Just have to buy him a lifetime supply of windshield wipers and walls to kick in to keep him happy.

 

[The Awesomeness]

Do you mean front heavy?

From what I was told, a lot of his coin was on the last 3 years. When he signed, we would've had Selwood, Hawkins, Duncan, Taylor, etc on big deals. But really, who else have we been paying our cap to over 2022-24? Danger, Jez, Stewart, Hawkins and Duncan are the only ones that were on long term, big money deals. 3 of them come off at the end of this year.

Again, just what I've been told. Hopefully there's some truth to it.

Maybe the gun midfielder is Jack Viney and he wants out because of the off field issues surrounding the club?
There was noise regarding him a few years back

Never mind I just understood what you said and my brain thought he was still contracted.
Thanks for the post, welcome more often

I could see that. 2020 from memory.

Dare to dream though, is Trac coming down the highway? Another consummate professional who wouldn't be happy with what's going on there.

Would do some despicable things to get him in a Geelong jumper.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

I wouldnt touch clarry with a ten foot pole.

 

[Gee Class Loco]

Makes more sense it was back ended with the players we had on the list at the time.

Isn't either irrelevant when he's OOC this year anyway? Big or small it's not yet on our books for next year.

I haven't been able to watch much vfl due to family commitments but I am keen to get a view on Furphy. Any specific games of his I can go watch that you recommend?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I think he means back ended, because it's his last year that's a big contract coming off.

Nah people are talking about Clayton so it ain't him

You'd take me?
