Would give up future first and second rounder for mystery man if he's an elite A grader. Sorry Martin.

 

[thylacine60]

poor blossoms, if it isn't big bad anti-carlton commentators, it's big bad anti-carlton sports writers or big bad anti-carlton umpires - grow up you stooges.....

You missed one, pathetically inept and biased umpires

!!!TIN FOIL HAT TIME!!!

Gil and AFL House want the Suns and Swans up and about as quickly as possible and are happy to stiff us over to do so. As such, they have instructed Swans to hold firm on Papley. They've also instructed Gold Coast demand our pick 9 for Martin to help accelerate their rebuild.

Swans - keep Papley, get Daniher, lose pick 5

Suns - lose Martin, get pick 9

Blues - lose pick 9, get Martin

Essendon - loae Daniher, get pick 5

lol wut?

Carlton won't do Martin for 9.
Bombers won't do Daniher for only 1 pick.

Would rather take 2019 and 2020 1sts and try for Yeo.
If Gaff, I'd want to swap maybe this year's first rounders and get Martin with it.

 

[Pafloyul]

Gaff is too long in the tooth to give up a first rounder for.

 

[bluemahogany]

I think Sydney's posturing is more to do with throwing off Essendon than us. Think the swans would like to get Daniher without giving up 5 and 9.

 

[Faz 2000]

Just feel embarrassed for those who think there's a pervasive anti-Carlton conspiracy out there...

 

[Blue Rising]

You'd think it would have to be Gaff or Oliver maybe. Surely we'd only sling our future 1st at a bonafide mid. Would a 1st get either of those? Gaff maybe.

Not a single first rounder, would need more.

If Papley’s is going to be too hard, just get Martin done with Betts and Butler.
Martin will be a better player than Papley IMO.
If we could then get Wines for pick 9 and maybe something else.
I also like the idea of Knight. Could come cheap, 7/10 player. Jared Lyons type.
Also, I’ll say it again: Cedric Cox

Intriguing...

Gonna spitball a few names for discussion's sake. These are guys I think would entertain leaving their current club for the right deal. Have ignored those who have recently re-signed and those who seem firmly entrenched, as well as those who you'd be too hard-pressed to describe as "elite" currently (ie. Cerra).

Out of contract in 2020 - Petracca, De Goey, Crouch
Get-out clause in contract - Gaff
Out of contract in 2021 - other Crouch, Hopper, Oliver

How does this player set us up for 2021? (according to OP) That's the bit I'm stumped on.
Now 7 years bad luck could refer to a ladder so with this player we can go for the cup then?
Or a black cat crossing our path or...
bare with me,
I'm thinking
Witchy Woman
Which is the eagles...

Yeah. Need a good cup of tea.

Some pretty strong language where he's quite strong in painting Carlton as the party in the wrong, like we were the ones that backed out last minute.

TCP said it was because Ellis asked for more money once we missed out on Cogs. Another previous rumour in this thread that we lowered our offer to Ellis to try to get Cogs. Timing wise it also seems possible that when Teague was made official and given more control, he made it clear he's not interested in Ellis.

Not sure we'll ever really know for sure.

Incidentally what ended up happening with Mr Allison?

Had an accident ended up in a wheelchair I think or might have contracted MS - not sure

 

[Matty411]

WTF that is wild

Truth.

AFL.com suggesting three team trade “looms”.

Essendon - picks 5 and 9

Sydney - Daniher

Blues - Papley

Apparently we are asking for something back too.

Swans set to pay huge draft price for Daniher as three-club deal looms

Essendon could receive draft picks five and nine if Joe Daniher goes to Sydney

That's my point. Plus the hints from others that it's a name not mentioned, or not immediately thought of. Someone gettable for a single 1st.

Plot thickens.

Old news. Will never happen. Sydney ripped off hardcore if that was ever to happen.

AFL must be really torn between “making sure they make up for slapping Essendon with a wet lettuce leaf over their illegal drug taking” and “keeping their interstate love children strong” - and trying to ensure we get reamed all at the same time.

 

[No1Suspect]

One of these is not like the others

One of these just isnt the same?

I threw out a name I'd heard a few weeks back but that was a Melbourne player not interstate.

It wasn't a proposal. It was a theory about AFL interference.

I'd expect Essendon would need to give something else up in that deal.

Slight tweak:

Essendon - picks 5 and 9 (for Daniher and Pick 31)

Sydney - Daniher and pick 31 (for Papley, Pick 5 and Pick 51)

Blues - Papley and pick 51 (for Pick 9)

Maybe Essendon substitute in their future second instead. Maybe Sydney substitute in their future first and keep either 5 or 9.

If it's who I'm thinking then I'd happily give a 1st for him.
