No Oppo Supporters Double-Death-Riding Carlton 2019 Edition - Currently Pick 1 and 19

[cm_perfect]

The other good one is, “it doesn’t matter as we’re going to trade that pick for Coniglio or Whitfield”, which completely ignores the fact that neither player is likely to want to go to Carlton and Pick 1 would have got the job done with something going back to Carlton instead of Pick 16 + something extra from Carlton being required.

Something like 16 and Stocker ? He was a pick 6 after all ..

This whole thread is one big misunderstanding. So what that Carlton won't get pick 1 this year, fast forward 12 months and they will be lining up with pick 1 in 2020 so it is just a 1 year hiatus for them...a bump in the road so to speak

Well... geelong have to play their finals at mcg? They look unbeatable at their bean shaped oval but not so great at other grounds. Plus as we know, it matters when you peak.

I think Geelong would only get a final at Potato Park against a very low-drawing non-Vic club.

These days I'm not sure if I'm more a Crows fan or more a fan of Carlton's opposition...?

I doubt that ....they've got a good list now, should be around 10th next year .....only injuries to CARL are helping this year

I've also been barracking for the Suns, Demons, Swans and Kangaroos lately, not to mention whoever plays Port.

It makes nearly every game interesting.

hang on - they have been telling us how good their list is each preseason..it will take more than some latent talent to get them up and running (winning games)

Aren't you watching their games ? ....they've played some damn good footy ......it'd the injuries alone that may deliver us a #1 -#2 pick

Blues facing defensive crisis for Giant clash with Jezza
Lachie Plowman suffered a fractured cheekbone in last week's loss to Collingwood, while young teammate Tom Williamson has suffered yet another setback to his troublesome back.

Veteran defender Kade Simpson remains another week away due to a hamstring injury, while Liam Jones is also unlikely to play as he recovers from a significant concussion.

They would be lucky to have 12 players get a game at most clubs. Take Cripps out and even some of them would struggle.

agree. If Cripps goes down, they will get mostered around the ball by most other teams

Cripps will head back to WA eventually. A player of his ability deserves better in life.

Cripps will head back to WA eventually. A player of his ability deserves better in life.

I was thinking about this the last week. He is a champ and deserves a good team, but I hope Carlton keeps him.
Or I hope Cripps wins the Brownlow this year or next, so any team who wants to buy him has to pay over $1 mill and can't afford anyone else who is good.
If say Fremantle ended up with Cripps, Tim Kelly, and Fyfe at the same time .... damn!

Seen a lot of "we'll get a priority pick, so it doesn't matter anyway" talk coming from Blues fans now.

Imagine the balls it would take to ask the AFL for a priority pick in THE SAME YEAR YOU TRADED AWAY PICK 1.

AFL response: But you won the trade and got Stocker (the next Hocking/Williams) and a first round pick???

 

[StonesThrow]

Cripps will go down as one of those players that really deserves a flag. Love watching him play
