Parko in the HUN

Can't wait for the day SOS really gets the accolades he deserves.

We're starting to see now in the media that most can see we have a very attractive, talented young list.

However i'm yet to see a more in-depth analysis on how that list came to be from our old and young-talent starved list during 2015.
Once we rise up the ladder and make the 8 - hopefully as early as next year - i'm sure we'll start to see some articles and footy show segments highlighting the great work SOS did to even allow us to have guys like Curnow, McKay, Cunners, Setterfield, Marchbank, Kennedy, LOB, Stocker etc on our list.

Sydney need to replace Franklin and like Franklin will not be afraid to put the coin and long contract on the table to get it done. I reckon Essendon overspent on Shiel, Stringer and co and Daniher won't get nearly as much at Bombers as he would at Sydney. They haven't planned for him properly and probably low balling him because of injury. I've probably not seen a more agile player of that height ever and once his body is right he will be huge. Pick 5 and 9 with a late first rounder coming back is what I expect.
The potential is always there, but injuries play such a large part in a trade worth - and in the last 2 years, he has been injured
Look at JOM and Scully as examples
 
God the hate for Ellis is funny. He changed his mind and wanted a better deal that suits him better, it happens. Absolutely no different to what Papley is doing and we are all in love and stoked with him.
Players make agreements with clubs and change their mind all the time.

I have zero problem with that- it happens.

Just don’t state publicly “Carlton withdrew offer and we’re upset” as a cop out.
 
Would it hurt our reputation if we wooed a player for ages then get them to publicly request a trade to us then pull out late due to a better offer?

Or is it a case of who cares, we are Carlton F the rest?

I think its a terrible look.

If we have had Papley and Martin have commited to us, and us to them.

Then our surprise target also desides to come and we break our commitment to one of the others... personally think its a terrible look.

It’ll come but as you say, when we make the 8 or contending not while we are still in the bottom 3

So rude!!
Pask can get Fask.:(
My respect for the Blues list management team has escalated ten fold after reading that. It's about time player managers experienced the realisation that in the absence of a binding commitment, a Club, just like a player, can exercise its freedom to pursue alternative opportunities. Best of luck for your player at GCS Marty. Go Blues
 
No. We should get a second coming back

Yes if Sydney are getting Daniher in just by letting Papley go as in this instance we may be able to wrangle their 2nd coming back if we stump up our pick 41 as well.

So

Essendon in: Pick 9, Phillips/Out; Daniher
Sydney in Daniher, Pick 41/Out: Papley, Pick 25
Carlton in: Papley, Pick 25/Out: Pick 9, Pick 41, Phillips
