Surely Martin has more value than Ah Chee who you believe is worth no less than pick 15.

Finishing third in Gold Coasts best and fairest is like finishing third in a 3 person race.
He is worth bugger all, done very little to warrant much more than a mid second.
If everybody don't rate him, let him go to this year ND draft and see Fremantle and other club pick him up in the first round or not. Would case scenario Blues going to use pick 8 on him which is what GCS is asking for in the first place.
Then wait until your second round and draft him. I don't think GCS going to draft/trade in better players than him with Brisbane first Rd pick. So why waste time send him to ND draft and see his true value.Not a hope in hell he is worth pick 8, especially being uncontracted

Gees you need to know the actual rules before commenting.Why not let him go to draft, I would like to see him last until second Rd. I rather see this in action and proved I am wrong. Will be funny Richmond pick him up and paid him cheap salary.
Then why trade Carlton can get him in 4th round with his expected salary, waste of time. Do you really want to do another O meara deal.Gees you need to know the actual rules before commenting.
A player going to draft will nominate their expected salary and the team drafting him has to agree to that salary.
Seeing as Carlton currently don’t hold a second round pick in this draft, Carlton probably has to split their current first round pick to get their expected deals done.
Brisbane hold Collingwoods first round pick and Gold Coasts second round pick.
So Brisbane could trade picks 15-18 and pick 19 for Carlton’s first.
The Suns have been burned by two future pick trades in recent years. I doubt they'd risk it yet again, particularly when the Blues are improving and could reasonably play finals next season. I wouldn't be surprised if this deal ended up being an upgrade of four picks or less, which isn't a fair price for Martin.We just offer our future 1st for Martin + Lions pick this year and swapping later picks

Plenty of people didn't think the Lions could make finals this season. Some of them were Lions supporters. Big rises and falls can happen, particularly when you have a bunch of players aged about 21-23 who can really break out. But more so I reckon it's the principle rather than the specific team. I expect the Suns to be much more wary of trading for future picks due to recent history, even if it's with a team who are a good chance of missing finals.I see us rising, but I still doubt we will make finals
We are a mid table side next year, although if we have your run of injuries, finals is an outside chance
No you don’t have to trade 8 for Martin.Or
We just offer our future 1st for Martin + Lions pick this year and swapping later picks
Or just a future 2nd
We don't need to trade pick 8 this year to get Martin
Our lack of indigenous players and poor track record with said players is probably key here.There are reports (on the Carlton board and in the media) that Martin chose Carlton over a more attractive contract offer from the Bulldogs.
Obviously players choose clubs based on a number of reasons, but $ is usually a big part.
I am very bullish on the Doggies' list. And maybe he chose Carlton because he sees less competition for a starting spot. But without knowing his reasons, I choose to take this as a big vote of confidence that Carlton can now hopefully attract players not just via the biggest chequebook.

Having played local footy with plenty of indigenous players I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if this is the case.Our lack of indigenous players and poor track record with said players is probably key here.
Took a pay cut...
If Carlton get Martin for less than pick 8 awesome if not its gonna hurt. Pick 8 (9) will get you kemp or day all who will be better players then Martin imo
That's the reason I said ah chee trade, why involve other club when you don't need to. GC could easily trade back Brisbane first Rd pick back to them with Ah chee and get multiple second Rd and third Rd back that include GC second Rd. Currently pick 19.
Dont forget Sauce from Adelaide as well! And they'll be sniffing around guys like Cutler and Lewis from us.
No way you are getting pick 4 let alone pick 8 for injury prone DaniherIf it happens i would want pick 4 for Daniher not pick 8
I don't think he last until GC Brisbane first round pick in this year draft. You can't paid player big money and pick him up as second Rd.
Then wait until your second round and draft him. I don't think GCS going to draft/trade in better players than him with Brisbane first Rd pick. So why waste time send him to ND draft and see his true value.
