Still really want to see us with a genuine link to an actual 2nd KPD. Talk on other boards is we've been sending out the feelers to just about every fringe/decent KPD out there but nothing seems to have stuck yet other than Haynes who's more of a 3rd + he's more a fringe player nowadays.

Wouldn't mind Butts as a lockdown FB to allow Weiters to really roam and intercept. Crows have an excess of KPD but not sure how much he'd cost. Crows seem to be trying to get busy this off season though so might be a chance of being pushed out in the process for picks/cap space.

Kolodjashjni from Geelong would be fantastic but good players pretty much never leave that joint.

Dunno who else is out there thats a chance but would love to hear one linked via a credible source.

Nathan O'driscoll is out of contract. Running player who breaks the lines with a long raking left foot. Could be used as a running half back for 300k. Money ball pick up at 22 years old.
Made of glass but is a very good player.

Personally don't think the club goes for it given all the scrutiny over our injury woes over the last few years but he's definitely a player who could have an impact if he got a clean run at it.

But we're chasing a 32 year old Haynes who is also injury prone?
 
Haynes has played 211 games and will bring great leadership and depth. Fair to say he is worthwhile having over Sam Durdin lol
 
AFL.com "CARLTON is willing to dip into its future picks this off-season to strengthen its trade ammunition, with the club hopeful of using a full complement of this year's selections at the draft"

Exactly what I have been told and have been posting for months. Austin wants to go to the draft and wants more picks. Future first in very much on the table

Focus has always been picks and value trades

I believe you when you state this, its not a bad strategy, i hope we strengthen for now as well but, if we as a team in the premiership window, go two years in a row, where we just go to the draft, trade depth players and bring in bargains, then like I’ve been saying all year and last year and have been shot down.

We have no $$$$ for quality players and a tight cap.

Our competitors are adding quality additions and we expect to overtake them by taking kids.

Im a bit sceptical, a lot to play out though.

Delistings are as most here predicted

Cuningham, Marchbank, Durdin, M.Carroll, Mirkov, Akeui with a couple more being told to wait. Martin will either be traded for a late pick to help with Campo points, or delisted

I still expect that J.Carroll will ask for trade and Owies is being tested to see what we can get although he wants to stay. I can only speculate that his manager is looing at other options

If all this happens that is 9 gone, Lord to fill a spot and 8 (2 x Campo twins) spots through drafting, trading and Free Agency etc. which I believe has always been our target

With 6 left I expect 2-3 draftess and 3-4 trades, DFA's etc

I am confidently told this is NOT an issue. We chased Hayward (glad we failed), could get Houston or Petracca into our salary cap if we wanted
 
Josh Gabelich on SEN asked about a suitor for Gold Coast’s Malcolm Rosas Jnr:

ā€œSome interest from Carltonā€

These are the type of deals we will do. Names like Rosas, Konstanty, Garcia, Haynes and more are who we are speaking to. I expect a couple of announcements straight after GF.

This coupled with Campo twins and a couple of high drafts picks is what Austin wants. Also, has eye on 1 or 2 mature State League type players as rookies, SSP's. We have been extremely active this year to fill some holes on our list

I know people want Houston, but if what I am told is correct, we aren't actively chasing him. However, if he wanted to come to us and on our terms of course we would do it. Austin wants to use Pick 11 in the draft

Consistent comment to me is strategy as I have mentioned and be in a position to chase some FA's, pre agents in 2025 when we will be in a great position SC wise to do 2-3 deals if needed

Hayne acquisition is ok but the key need is a KPD.

If we can bring in a KPD and Haynes that will free up McGovern to move forward (3rd tall). We also have kemp and Jsos for the 3rd tall forward role.

And it means we’ll have the flexibility of playing weits young and new KPD on the tall forwards.

It’s a really important need imo.
 
Soapy V goes BANG. Love it.
I know things change, so a massive thanks for these tidbits. :thumbsu:

Nothing outstanding but issue is I don't think you will see the big deals or anything that hasn't discussed. Austin's focus hasn't changed

What I am hoping for (and I'm told we are keen) is to trade future picks for this year to get another 1 or 2 inside Top 25.

We tried this. He wasn't even AFL standard. It's why he was sent to defence.

Loving that prospect Soap, but we need to create more spots to accommodate them.

Popular thoughts have the reported delistings, plus Martin, Carroll and Owies probable/possible outs. Only two main listers gone to date (by reports) three more being talked about. Five spots. Would be hue and cry if we don’t retain Boyd, which means a spot gone for upgrade.

That only leaves four main list spots without some creativity or left field out going trades. I would love a handful of main list draftees including the Campos. To do that we need at least one more spot. That is before trading anyone in.

Austin has an unenviable juggling the list. Needs a minor miracle to get it all done. Waiting on the whingers when he doesn’t give what the impractical among us want.

It’s why I still struggle with 2 years extensions for Durdin Young Cottrell etc before they are out of contract. Made no sense to me
