Carlton apparently no longer interested in Higgins, according to this article.

No bad thing. Would improve our best 22 but not going after the likes of Higgins suggests that just maybe possibly we are taking a longer term view.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
I think North has offered a bunch of money to Higgins which we aren't really interesting in paying so our interest has probably disappeared.
I see no value at all in us getting Higgins.
Jaksch, Mitchell offer obvious improvement to our team...hell i can even see the potential gains of getting Blease and Liam Jones but what role would Higgins play? Rather spend the $350-400k elsewhere.

Happy with pick 6 and saving $400k per year.

Is that the old "now we aren't getting him we don't want him" argument?
Unlikely but too early to call.
Don't think Tom would mind coming over but how do we get a deal done?

Nah, it's a win/win argument. He was never ours. I think value is around 10-12 given the contract so it could be a complicated deal. If he came, he walks into our midfield. Either way, I'm happy.
He already stated he aint going nowhere. He dont wanna go to carlton. He will force himself into a gun sydney midfield instead of being a walk up start for nothing at the blues. He loves this challenge and therefore is staying put.
Depends on what happens with your end of year clean-up.

Jason Tutt is the new Shane Savage who had Carlton supporters excited last year. Awesome.
Things can change if clubs go cold on a player. Another reliable poster said Higgins was a certainty. Won't come to Carlton.
On par with the Reimers rumour that was false. Possibly nothing more than one of the options on Carlton's whiteboard. This reliable poster also said Dean Cox was a done deal. He's retired.

Would be happy if it eventuates.
Garlett at his best was a star and will be missed, but since his loss of form and the fact both club and player want a trade, i think melksham is good compensation

Sounds like we might to give up a higher pick to GWS for Jaksch. I wonder if the following is plausible..
Paddy Ryder > PORT
Pick 6 + Jeff Garlett > ESS
Pick 19 > GWS
Kristian Jaksch + Jake Melksham + Pick 16 > CARL
Interesting to find out how evenly our recruiters rate the crop between 6 and 16 this year, could still pick up a Goddard, Ahern, Marchbank type.

Like Kyle Martin as a player. Why isn't he getting a game?
Not sure to tell you the truth. What has been hinted at is that his defensive work isn't good enough, but many would say it is pretty good. He did have an injury interrupted last third of the season. But it was a constant source of frustration to many on the Pies board he wasn't given a decent run in the seniors this year.

Doesn't matter now - he just retired.

HS reporting he's retired & gone back to his full-time job as plumber & play local footy.
