Balance. If Jack or Charlie we’re fit he wouldn’t be in. Other issue is if you drop him how does she get any form? Needs to do a lot better

I don't think it's so much form as it is fitness which is application. Hasn't looked fit since he came to Carlton. Looks back to pre Russell camp levels.

Kennedy in as a forward was a no brainer for me this week.

It’s all good Bigm386. I couldn’t be happier with our development this year. It’s a strange year and being young and not having reserves has hurt. We have also had as bad an injury list as any especially with our mature players. Cripps & Casboult can barely train.

A fit list, proper reserves and a couple of key recruits and we will play finals in 2021. No doubt 👍

Add Charlie Marchbank Kemp Jack Newman and this side is very different
 
Hi Soapy , what chance Blues for Papley , Saad ?

Papley is hope more than anything as Swans want to much. Who knows. Saad haven’t heard anything at all. Personally doubt it. Names I’ve heard we are talking to are Williams Graham Wright Crouch Drew Caldwell Narkle McLean and another 1 or 2 other young interstate players. Have no idea how close

Personally think Williams is exactly what we need

Cheers mate , not keen on couch or Wright for our list

Most would agree with you but I like the idea of Wright. 24 year old 203cm key forward/2nd Ruck would be very handy given age of Casboult. Would cost bugger all and has the talent. Would thrive with us and be great foil for TDK. Always need options and depth

Crouch I’m not not fussed especially if we can land Williams

I expect Setterfield to keep building next year. Star. Walsh on ball. Another Star. A fit Cripps & Dow & Kennedy and Kemp is a potential Star and I really rate Gibbons. Also hope to see SPS back on ball

Then there is LOB Cuningham Stocker Jack Honey Philp Ramsay all developing

We do have the money now and would excite some possible recruits the way we are developing

Love the idea of Jack Graham!

I’m in GC now , seen a bit of 2m Peter although not this year , nice kick from 50 but I’d hope we have 3-4 better options already . F all afl news here , i haven’t seen enough of the last 3 u mentioned to have an opinion , But agree Williams would be great get .

With Wright it’s about competition for spots and depth. Good sides have that and I don’t believe we do yet. You need a good Top 30 not 22.

He has the talent but developed in a poor GCS system. Needs a change like Martin

McKay & Casboult are our only genuine tall forwards. McGovern & Charlie are third talls. TDK is a ruck that can go forward. Also we lack key defenders so if we got a Wright, Casboult or McGovern who in my opinion is a defender not a forward, can play back if needed

Isn't there like a trades board this thread should be in?

To be honest, this doesn't really feel main board 'scandals' page worthy.

It barely qualifies as club-level rumouring; the possibility that a young fringe player might have requested the club consider moving him on isn't exactly earth-shattering. Maybe if he publicly requests something then it should be in the Drafts and Tradining board.

And yet, it's somehow got 12 pages of something or other (and yes, I'm contributing to it as well). Slow world with COVID and whatnot, isn't it!
