There are strong rumours, some confirmed, some not, that the below players are going to look for a new club. Assume these players are available:
Warnock - We need another ruckman but this may be a temporary measure if Hampson and Kreuzer turn out as hoped. Kreuzer will. Perhaps has been overrated by some.
Kerr - Proven superstar. Elite Midfielder with all the skills, smarts and physical gifts. Can kick a goal. Many have forgotten how good he is.
Cousins - Past star with personal problems that supposedly are behind him. Too old.
O'Keefee - Proven star, and a skillful talented forward which is high priority at Carlton.
Didak - Medium forward and midfielder with great skills but personal problems. A player with good footskills and the ability to be a damaging forward is something we need at Carlton but is not high priority with Eddie Betts fit for the first time ever next year.
Shaw - Had minor personal problems this year but has been a good player. I don't rate him how ever as he is a player who gets cheap kicks in the back line and struggles further up the ground and in winning contested footy. Besides we have Heath Scotland who does that role very well, if not better.
Hall - A tall key forward, out highest priority. Tremendous athlete and finished last year in good form. Lacks onfield discipline.
White - Been a champion but is a little undersized and is only going to lose his athletic ability with age. Too old.
I can't think of any one else but this is what I came up with, it's probably a bit early for this thread.
My Preferences:
1 Kerr - Definatly, would complete our midfield.
2 O'keefee - Pure class.
3 Hall - We need a CHF and he's one of the best.
4 Warnock - Yes but not at a great price. Possibly not as good as they make out.
5 Shaw - Not what we need, maby take him cheaply.
6. White - Only at a cheap price. Too old.
7 Didak - Only cheaply, if he passes Carlton's psyche tests.
8 Cousins - No.
Stevens and Fisher and our 2nd pick could be our most powerful trade bait. although I don't want to lose Stevens.
In what order would you select them for Carlton?
