Backline coach Henry Playfair has tendered his resignation effective immediately.

Playfair was a coach at the Swans until the end of 2017, does him joining the club, help with getting Papley cross the line too?

Blues boost with Playfair, Power

Carlton has bolstered its coaching staff with two significant off-field appointments.

With the potential for us to play finals next year, I have a feeling this is going to feel like to longest off-season in recent times for us baggers

It's bad enough that all these trade rumours, etc, won't be finalized for another few weeks!!

Rory Laird has met with Brisbane apparently and lions also targeting Brodie Smith......just gets better for the crows.

 

[footyfan1978]

Scoop McClure thinks to Blues...

He did say going with.

He was also going with Brad Scott as Carlton coach so some he will be right on, some not. Which left back in the unknown...
Gotham City needs it's hero...

 

[Gethelred]

Why his foot is stuffed and he can’t kick 30 metres

People said that of Luke Ball, before he was traded to Collingwood...

He was right about Mclovin to Carlton 6 months before it actually happened.

I don't really like the bloke much personally, but he does seem to have pretty good sources/Intel.

5 years. Thats a random number. I see him in the brodie grundy mold. How long did he take?

4-5 years from a more advanced position. Not ridiculous to suggest it might take TDK 7 all up.

 

[ferrisb]

Barass is like one of the protagonists in the book of judges.. God sends them down when he needs stuff done.

Just like Samson slaughtering 1000 people the jaw bone of donkey. God needed that done.

There is only one true god around here. He of the holy trinity....

We have two South Australias?

One is South Australia...the other is s*** Australia, guess which team plays in which state.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Grundy's game went next level in 2017, aged 23.
Best ruckman in the league from 2018, aged 24.

Don't forget though, that Grundy was a super prospect. Tipped to be a top 5 pick, IMO the best ruck prospect (as a junior) since NicNat.

The way he has turned out is probably the best you could hope for.

I generally don't expect to see ruckman much before they are 22. Start playing regular footy 22-24yo. The best rucks in the league are usually 25+, often hitting their peak in their late 20s to just over 30...

I am no rush with TDK.

We shouldn't be rushing him...However, if he takes another 4-5 years to get good, there is a looming, Kreuzer output dependant, hole in our list from 2021-2023, just when the rest of our list is peaking.

This is top shelf stuff.

"Playfair will primarily lead the development of the coaching staff while working closely with Power who will be responsible for the development of the playing group."
Well done CFC.

I don't really like the bloke much personally, but he does seem to have pretty good sources/Intel.

To be honest, we asked about him when they first wanted Gibbs, so was not too hard to put two and two together once Sam knew he wanted out of Crows the next year in off season...

Yes, but I'd prefer us to get Laird and Grundy.

I think the second most important coach in any club is th

Great news, Playfair has been a highly rated assistant in system for a few years now.
Terrific coup, our coaching panel is shaping up nicely with the addition of Luke Power as well.
Looks the club is finally putting lots of Dollarydoos into the footy department, and players and Teague will be the better for it

Yes it does..
Would like to see them throw $’s to attract a AA coach for the reserves, the likes of Voss and Co should be targeted.
It’s our nursery.

I know Brodie Smith is very close to Charlie Cameron..could be something in this.
I do reckon it’s unlikely though as it seems to good to be true for a cow hater perspective.

Bit of word about Gaff seeking opportunity back in Melbourne weirdly. He toured Ikon Park last year.

Should we sell the farm?

For this reason, I think its generally not worth drafting 18yo rucks, at least at the sharp end of the draft.

Lots of them won't work out, and the ones that do take years and lots of development.

I say get someone else to take the risk, do the work, and then try and poach them.

Sure, it will cost you much more in picks (and maybe $) vs homegrown, but you are buying a known quantity and saves time and cap space by not having to pay guys for 6 years to develop....

Is his your first ‘serious’ post for a while?

Asking for a friend...

 

[RoyalParade]

Appreciate any info u can provide rb
What do u mean by buttler smoke screen

Sorry mate just that there is no real interest in butler, he's just being used to take away the noise from Betts and maybe someone else.
I think a similar tactic was used will Voss.
