As this topic seems to have garnered a descent conversation on the rumour thread, I thought it best to open up its own thread as this will no doubt run all year.

Carlton - Bryce Gibbs, Michael Jamison, Marc Murphy, Heath Scotland, Kade Simpson, Jarrad Waite, Andrew Walker
What are our thoughts on who is most vulnerable from our list, as well as who are likely targets?
I think Walker is the one most likely to be on the move. That is not to say it will happen, but the fact he was shopping around a few years ago means he is open to the idea. That being said he wasn't playing where he wanted to be playing. Hopefully he has a good relationship with Malthouse. Gibbs would be the other one perhaps as he could be shown some big $$$ elsewhere and that may tempt him.
From other clubs, I really do think we are a realistic chance to get Goldsack and i think that would be a stella get for us. I also think Harry O'Brien will walk but I am not sure if our club will be interested. I certainly know the majority of supporters aren't keen on him. Dane Swan could be an interesting one. I think he will go as well as the exodus from Buckley continues.
