Bluemour Melting Pot XXI - Like seriously, the polar ice caps have got nothing on us

Out ITKs would have the crop reports before they are made public....

Let’s go SOS!!!

 

[Matty411]

Seems like the posturing and blatant lies to the media to drive this drama narrative are in full swing.

Why bother even reading/listening to trade radio or the media at this point until deals are done? Nothing can be taken at face value.

If he goes delisted free agent we are 3rd in line behind a club hes leaving and Melbourne. We would just have to put up big bucks they can't match in the PSD wouldn't we?

Melbourne surely couldn't afford him / wouldn't want him given they've just picked up two wingers and have spent big on Lever and May the last two seasons.

welcome to carlton, every player sos sets out for...........

 

[FlowersByIrene]

If Martin does not get traded, what's the future for him (i.e. how do we get him) given at October 31st, he's out of contract?

Do we have to draft him through the ND, or can we sign him as a DFA?

Pre Season Draft

I don't know, something in me is telling me everything from the comment regarding Martin to this, seems like posturing to build suspense for the final few hours... Gut feel.

Your gut feel is 100% correct, Sol.

Yep or they can re draft him and play him in the Neafl on a high salary.

Players can manipulate the PSD easily. Easily. Eg: nominate 1m a year for 2 years. “Go ahead GC, draft me.” They don’t. Blues then do- they have to honour the deal but...you wouldn’t believe it, he’s re-signed for 200 a year for a further 3 years because he loves it so much”

I noticed we posted similar theories at the same time, great minds etc etc [emoji108][emoji13]

This is really poor by the AFL with regards to the bonus picks afforded to GC, it has really strengthen their hand for number of picks which is probably the reason they are being so hard on this trade. They have so many picks they can afford to be fussy.

AFL will love it if Martin walks to psd

 

[teknodeejay]

Guess what mateee you'reeeee wrong.

This has been gone over 100 times, just because it hasn't been expressly announced doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

It takes place immediately before the rookie draft and will only be used for uncontracted players who are not traded yet aren't delisted free agents.

If it didn't exist, there would be no method to deal with a player like Jack Martin if a trade is not done. Ergo, it must exist.

You're right - I am corrected!

He can also nominate for PSD

 

[thylacine60]

I just refreshed the page and no new posts? what is going on with you people?

 

[Bluesome]

Don't really understand the posturing from Gold Coast. Their choices are:

1. Trade him for a future second to us (maybe change)
2. Don't trade him, and pick him up again in the PSD on what will likely be a one year nominated contract, and we do this all again next year, in what would be an absolutely atrocious move by a club already under massive pressure
3. Lose him for nothing to us or Melbourne in the PSD...

Only way GC could have any leverage in my view is if they could convince Martin to go to another club who would then start a bidding war...outside of that, they are in a pretty tough spot on this one...

 

[carlton_99]

50/50 doesn't sound great...

 

[RPCB]

So.... announcing Papley in 20 minutes?

 

[Keyza]

gold coast are a basket case

Aren't they happy with their AFL handouts. They should bugger off.
Hope he walks and we get him in the PSD.

It's legitimately all lies just to build this shit up for the final hours. This tweet generates clicks and talk on here and views at the site. It's all manufactured.

Murmurs of a delisting coming from Princes Park - not a player

I trust the source, but can't say much more. Not fishing for anything, just passing it along.

Say what!
