Confirmed Jack Martin - joins Geelong as a DFA

[THE_GUN]

After Polec this bloke is the 2nd best AFL player to steal money from 2 clubs

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Lol Carlton, that big offer to get him over not looking so good now.

Many of us thought it didn’t look good then.

 

[Farang83150]

I bet several would be willing to look at him for the trade that Carlton obtained him on. West Coast could just take him in the PSD.... but how many would be willing to trade for him. OOC Whats he worth on trade .. an R2 pick to help with the Campo twins?

I sure hope we don't.

 

[Turbocat]

A pick within the first two rounds? Carlton couldn’t move him on quick enough for that price.

I think a club like Melbourne or Port will take a swing for a pick upgrade. I don’t think he will be DFA, Carlton will more than likely offer him a contract.

I think Geelong would offer a R2 if they liked him. His best still very good.

I hope Geelong steers well clear. We don't need a mid forward who plays and performs intermittently.

I doubt he lands at Geelong , more likely to move west but he is more talented than most you would draft for a late R2. He reminds me of Rohan in the bold.

Steven May banging his ex girlfriend up in the Gold Coast helped us dodge a bullet on him

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Was really handy over the back half of last year...a rare injury free stretch.

But the best ability is availability and Carltin have too many that struggle to stay on the park.

Yes but Rohan cost nothing. Martin has talent sure, but he went pick 1 in the mini draft and has never at any stage justified his draft pick or his Carlton salary, and he's now 29.

I don't think Geelong would look at him, we are focusing on younger players but if a club thats the top8 had a chance to add a player like him, a club looking for forward talent for a late R2… id say that the chance of 3 years from him would be worth the risk.. ( like Higgins was for us.)

Whats the chance you get a pnp type with a R2? If we look back at our R2’s in the 30’s the last 5 drafts … Edwards, Mannagh , 2022-, Willis , Neale , Evans… If you can buy 40 games for that pick then its a win.

nah old and too inconsistent.

 

[Turbocat]

Yes they would..they paid it for Higgins.

 

[The 747]

Yes they would..they paid it for Higgins.

And that didn't work out. Why are you assuming they would make the same mistakes, given how the club has been run for the past 20 years?

as I said….. “If they liked him” , I also said … I do not think we would look at him as we are focusing on younger players… but there are other sides that will have a different list needs that would think a late R2 is reasonable.

 

[Prem17]

Would rather keep him o n but on a reduced/performance based salary.
He's a very smart footballer.
Obviously training loads for him are amiss atm but change that and get him right and he's worth more to us than anything we would get from a trade.

 

[THE_GUN]

Free to good home if uncontracted

If contracted cant see anybody interested unless carlton pay some

 

[RAPPA]

Of Carlton’s perennially injured, he’s the most important when fit. If he plays out the rest of the year then I reckon the blues will put an offer to him but it won’t be near as much as an oppo club might put if interested

Would have though McGovern was well ahead of him in terms of performance and importance

I excluded Gov off the back of this year and last year. Otherwise would agree if he is in that group due to Carlton’s paper thin back line

Perfect fit, Will be a star at Fremantle

wont cost a pick and play for peanuts



when he gets on the field

Would make perfect sense for Freo to top up with Martin.

Would not cost much, future 3rd. 31 with questions on soft tissue injuries. Blues have cap issues and two outside flanker type father sons coming in.

No doubting his class and ability. Just fitness.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Suspect if he can get fit for finals he'll be offered a deal from the Blues. Team's would be silly to be offering anything more than a 1-2 year deal given his never ending soft tissue issues.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Another injury

Might be him done?
