Leave the lubricants at home, no need after this Papley deal....
Including finishing top 3 in the B&F
Bloody hell, some people in here actually putting out there they think Martin was going to be delisted have no idea, and just buy into the hyperbole around the Suns. The bloke has finished 3rd in our BnF twice when we had May and Lynch playing for us, uber skilled player who just hasn't come on. He won't be playing in the VAFA anytime soon I wouldn't have thought.

Happens in every trade thread, every year; posters act as if they are actually the ones trading. Just weird.
A select few GC posters will expect (demand) a good first rounder and a select few Blues posters will offer shit with the threat of Martin going in the draft. Realistically IMHO... an OoC, out of favour, agitated Martin will be traded for a pretty fair outcome, which is something around the mark of pick 22-30ish unless some kind of equitable player swap or combo can be arranged (unlikely IMO).
After the trade is likely done, those extreme fringe posters from both sides will disappear, leaving everyone else to discuss how the deal was probably fair and crossing their fingers that their side ends up winning the trade with what they got...
Average AFL wage is around $380k. Martin is clearly above average in the talent department... hardly a huge salary and one that Carlton of all clubs can EASILY afford and in all honesty, probably need to start paying to a Martin or two or three....

Laughable...
You know the average afl wage is over 400k now yeah?
That says more about your club then him as a player
I don't much care if we lose macreadie for a bag of chips, can't see him forcing his way into our backline.

What do you mean?
That’s pick 8 and a 2nd rounder for Papley and Martin which is what 99% of people think is a fair deal
The Suns have been as competitive as your mob over recent years so are you saying anyone that has finished in your top 3 is rubbish?
Silly comment
Yeah and? That wasn't my point at all?

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
I would do that deal everyday of the week.
I didn’t see where the poster said Martin was rubbish, just that finishing third in a bottom club’s BnF isn’t a great achievement. Ed Curnow for example, isn’t more valuable because he finished third in Carlton’s BnF.

Has anyone got a source of him actually requesting a trade to Carlton? I can only find the one where someone confirmed he was going to request a trade to Carlton.
He hasn’t

Carlton's top 10 over the past few years contains Cripps and then a bunch of old blokes.

Charlie Curnow made it one year
Fisher made it one year
I think this year some of the young talent will finally make a bit of an impact.
