Yep was stupid letting Acres go for nada. He isn’t even costing Carlton much by way of salary. I could understand all the others leaving but to this day Acres made zero sense. Just my gut feel but Peter Bell being demoted to some random sort of nothing role I reckon has something to do with that. Tucker was fringe, Meek was fringe and needed opportunity, Logue was a mild stuff up but excess to needs down back and Lobb wanted out.Acres was good for the Blues tonight, I'm still stunned we let him go and then signed JOM.
The only character anyone has got an insight into from this extended exchange is yours.A single loss, maybe. Multiple losses over a season, no. You’re uncompetitive at that point.
We ****ed up big time on Meek.Meek was fringe and needed opportunity
Colulda shoulda woulda. The bone-on-bone is being overplayed; it's manageable if he's professional (should be our lowest expectation), and he's a game-changer when he plays. We win that Hawks game with him in, no doubt.We ****ed up big time on Meek.
Could have traded out Darcy and got a packet for him with Meek up our sleeve.
Now he's dominating and Darcy can't even get on the park.
The herald sun highest paid players puts Darcy at 700-800k he’s not on 1mil or even 850k, Meek would be on somewhere around $500k given he had numerous suitors when he left, to me the 200-300k more to keep Darcy is justified if he can get back onto the park, and that amount of $$ isn’t the difference between landing Warner and or Pickett this year. Our biggest issue is we didn’t replace Meek with a ready to play journeyman ruck instead we went for two young unproven ones in Reidy and Knobel which given the injuries in the last two years has caused selection problems.We ****ed up big time on Meek.

He toyed with English like a school child.Meek is not dominating. Average in the true sense of the word. Middle of the pack for AFL 1st rucks. I'm happy for him he is doing really well. He's come up into the top tier from a long way back.
There is no need though for people to go round raging and pretending Meek is a like for like replacement for one of the top 2 or 3 rucks in the comp because he's not.
Any half decent ruck does that.He toyed with English like a school child.
English is prone to those down games though. Jackson brained him in that GF and it turned the whole game.He toyed with English like a school child.
Keyword being EnglishHe toyed with English like a school child.
It's not about the money.The bullshit of using 2 million on 2 rucks is just that, bullshit.
I know through a close schoolmate of Jacko who is a daughter of a good mate that he is on closer to 750k pa over the full contract.
So between them about 1.5, with increases of salary cap, the league average wage by the time their contracts finish will be between 650k so it isn’t as bad as it seems
It turns out it wasn’t on.The only character anyone has got an insight into from this extended exchange is yours.
Yes we know that but the media go on about 2m which is simple crapIt's not about the money.
It's about Darcy having no knees, being unfit and being unable to get on the park enough.
Surprised that seems up for debate
Zinger!It turns out it wasn’t on.
Oh mate, fully agree. Not worried about the cap or what we're paying him.Yes we know that but the media go on about 2m which is simple crap
Meek is the highest rated player on the ground playing finals, Darcy is injured and home season over. Yikes! Sliding doors moment.
Can’t believe there are adults in 2024 who still think Monty Python is funny.Zinger!
