If it was a lift or shift situation, then Mitch has clearly opted for the former. Bevo wanted more offensive impact, and he's been our leading goalkicker since he was dropped, despite only playing 5 of the 7 games in that time.

Wallis and Dahlhaus have lifted their form a lot I reckon it's worked. I believe they will both resign but both want to obviously get best deal they can and I would want to sign when I was playing good footy. Which is what Bevo said. He wants the players to get the best deals for themselves. A bit more pressure when your out of contract to perform for your personal financial situation.
Pick 3 could be a very distinct possibility if Brisbane continue this form, and we manage to lose against Saint Kilda... Could actually be a blessing in disguise as Izak Rankine could be there at Pick 3, you just never know.

If Carlton offered Pick 1 for Tom Boyd and pick 5 would we take it?

Most here would say Boyd is untradeable. I agree. But only because its hard to see anyone picking up Boyd and his contract unless we incentivise them....not the other way around.

Not the first time me I’ve heard/read a theoretical trade of Boyd to Carlton. Is there something in it?
I’d be open to trading him but would want a bit more than that offer, maybe chuck in a later pick as well.

If Carlton were willing to pick up his contract?

What if his contract was heavily front loaded as many have said it was? Hypothetically he might be on 600k a year from next year.
Ken Bruce has gone mad.

His first yr with us was draftee wages. Others have worked it out and shown its likely he on about $750-800k for the next three yrs. Speculation though.

Mostly spot on but would delist Roarke Smith plus potentially 1 more (NM-M?).
Maybe also target Will Hayes as a rookie pick up.

That might depend on the money involved. If Carlton were to take the whole contract on board and Boyd was happy with it I dare say we would.
Now Carlton’s list management has been questionable in recent times, but they are not that batshit crazy.

If ScragCity really wants to troll he should post his Boyd and P5 for P1 suggestion on the Blues board. The melts would be impressive.

Carlton would be stoked. You're getting a former pick 1 and a pick 5 for just pick 1. Basically getting pick 5 for free. Boyd would also be a top 5 player on Carlton's list imo. Carlton get Boyd and Rankine and we get Lukosius. Everyone wins.

Well put it out there man. Maybe you are right and you can cheer up the Blues fans.

If Sam Power can't sign Wallis, I'll back over him with a golf cart.

Its a small lie detection/body language thing but Bev engaged in a bit of eye/face scratching last week when Wally came up in the post match presser - not for the first time either. I wonder if Bev thinks he is gone or has put a line through him? And that is in context of Bev dropping him, comments by Bev re his contract negs and rumours of other clubs being into Wallis.
Be very disappointed if he goes.

Wallis was very good yesterday. Absolute lock to re-sign with us. His hands in close and finishing off for goal is what we still need. If Bevo still isn’t a fan after the last month then I must be missing something very minor..
Bevo put the acid on both Wally and Dunkley and they both have responded well.
Why wouldn't you be rewarding guys like that?
How I break it down at this point.
Lock for future: McLean, Macrae, Bont, Richards, Naughton, English, JJ, Hunter, Daniel, Cordy, Williams, Dunkley, Libba, Adams, Gowers
Likely for future: Schache, Boyd, Lipinski, Dale, Crozier, Young, Wallis, Dal, Dale
Along for the ride (but may not be there when it comes): Picken, Dickson, Wood, Morris, Suckling, Trengove, Red
List cloggers/depth: Jong, Roberts, Smith, Biggs, Collins, Campbell, Webb, Roughead, Honeychurch
No idea - the rest.
Hold on to the first three groups if we can. The fourth move on this year and next. Provided we do ok with our ins I think we’ll take solid steps forward.

Put a line through Redpath, Dickson and Picken I would have thought.
