Are we really that bad at it anyway?
I reckon the perception is largely because a lot of our moves have become very public.
Brisbane is maybe the only other club.

Gotta give Carlton credit. Are becoming a destination club. Martin last year for the cost of zero draft picks. Williams and Saad this year. All very good players.
They’re executing exactly our plan 2-3 years in the future. Load up on young talent, maintain select senior leaders, sell ‘bright future’ narrative to free agents and potential recruits. It’s the only way out of poor list management and mediocrity.Gotta give Carlton credit. Are becoming a destination club. Martin last year for the cost of zero draft picks.

Why is it biased? What agenda would Ralph have for him to be at Geelong?
Cunnington isn’t reported to be open to a trade. It’s Higgins, so that point is completely irrelevant.
He has a young family and his support is in Geelong, where he grew up. It makes far more sense to have a trade link to Geelong rather than St kilda. Especially when you consider Geelong went hard for him 12 months ago.

Greenwood, Ellis and Weller were all good gets for them.

Weller still had to choose to go. We overpaid for Polec. Greenwood puts them ahead.They gave up pick 2 for Weller. Freo would've carried him to GC for that return. They squeezed the Tigers and overpaid for Ellis. Greenwood is solid.
Top-8 bound next season.
Incorrect. They are mad Pies fans. The Carlton connection is that his neighbour was Christou in Brunswick growing up.
They've always been a destination club.Gotta give Carlton credit. Are becoming a destination club. Martin last year for the cost of zero draft picks. Williams and Saad this year. All very good players.

Anyway, it's a midget fight. We had to move heaven and hell to get Polec after years of striking out. Corr is only coming because we're giving him more job security than GWS could offer.
McGovern?
Who have we attracted from other clubs?Are we really that bad at it anyway?

"Demons just confirming my report"
Get your hand off it, Tommy.
Paying more is generally how players moved. We've offered more to a number of players and could only get Polec to budge. What's your argument that we're a better destination club than GC?Because they paid him more than Freo were prepared. Lachie Weller was also part of Suns academy so he had history there.
Neither of the 3 are some great gets.
Saad chooses Carlton
I hadnt checked in since Saturday when he was still staying but he made up his mind last night and informed the club of his decision.

Ballsy by him to request the trade, it was always going to be Blues or staying but now its up to Carlton to satisfy Dodoro in a trade. Could be a circus getting it done but he's basically put * on notice.

Dal Santo
Waite
Higgins
Polec
Pittard
Hall
Tyson
Walker
Ahern
There are some wins there but most of them weren't chased by other clubs.
When ever there is a choice between us and some other team we lose.
Let's just hope our young player are actually more consistent. The Blues only have Walsh, Harry McKay and Weitering showing something.They’re executing exactly our plan 2-3 years in the future.

Crazy Carlton mate. Adam himself supported Collingwood but the majority are Carlton. Hes been trying to get to the Blues since he left the GC because they wouldnt stop nagging him about it.Incorrect.
