Would laugh if he comes out tomorrow and says he wants to play for WCE

Be even funnier if it was revealed that the offer was for Walsh not Charlie

 

[thegerman]

Rent Free. For a guy to exert so much negative energy on another football team and project his own club's failings, is really quite sad.

100 %.
If you think back to 2022 we offered 18 for henry. Collingwood started dicking around and said it wasn't enough.
So we quickly traded the pick for bruhn as gws were willing to do a clean deal.
Then Collingwood asked for the future 1st. We traded the future 2nd away to lock the future 1st and then said to Collingwood 'all we have is lesser picks take it or leave it' (luckily for Collingwood hawthorn bailed them out but our intent was clear).
This is the same thing here. We dont like how st kilda are doing this (they have had plenty of time to know Marshall was going and agree a price, he tried to get here last year and they knew this would be his ask when tdk came) negotiations so we are sticking the finger up at them and showing we won't be bullied.

I dont think we will get curnow because one of our A grade players would have to want to go for Carlton to think its an offer they want. But it sends the right message.

The big difference between this year and OHenry is that he was out of contract. Both Marshall and Curnow are contracted, so if we don’t satisfy them, they stay where they are.

Henry was leaving Collingwood one way or another. So they might as well take something. That’s not the case this year.

Do we need to put that behind a spoiler warning

Be like a giant fireball rolling out of the centre square, has no beginning or end!!! ☄

Here you go

Lock up your visually impaired daughters

FWIW I think the three 1sts offer isnt about Charlie. It's about Marshall and getting SOS and the Saints to accept your 2026 1st for him. I genuinely think Mackie knows a deal for Charlie is virtually impossible with what you hold. My take anyway.

 

[Mr Meow]

Can't imagine I was the first to use that metaphor, trains have been around for quite a while

True, but not everyone makes a Vline for the appropriate metaphors.

[catempire]

Why doesn't Curnow just come out and nominate us as his destination club, say he isn't going to Sydney and put pressure on the Blues, if they make him stay he sulks and refuses to perform all while getting paid huge $$$

He doesn’t necessarily need to do that publicly.

Yeah I think that's probably the most likely

But he should!!

I don't think blind women would be queuing up either.

 

[thegerman]

It would point to a tainted relationship though and force the hand

Seems a bit of consensus around here that that's a probably play

Is Bailey going to request a trade to Carlton?

Could he be the surprise player that unlocks our deals

Can we get Ed in the midfield as well for a bit of grunt!!!

 

[catempire]

My point is more he can try to get this done civilly behind closed doors. Blowing it up publicly is a last resort. Still heaps of time.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Absolutely. That’s further reaching into that space that Curnow is done with Carlton and this is the best they’ll get

We are trying to convince them of that. But Carlton know curnow wont sit out next year so they will call our bluff

I get this but the tactics are the same. Mackie is showing he wont be bullied. Marshall is different in that they have known for over 12 months he wanted to go-they offered someone the most expensive deal in league history to take his spot. Nothing says they don't want marshall like that. So while hes contracted in reality they want him gone but they want to fleece us on the way out the door (to make up for all the other picks they traded away) and we are having none of it. Unfortunate for Rowan if hes stuck there but we are being strong. This is what we did to Collingwood and we are doing it again. Rowan will come at a price we want or he wont come.

Curnow is different because I dont actually think Carlton want him gone and are not trying to replace him.

 

[BrisbaneCFC]

Yeah possibly. Id imagine SOS has taken notice though.

Doesn't bother me, he's probably having a few final beers before his move up to Sydney next week
