Carlton are at the crossroads and just seem to be treading water. Voss is the coach most under pressure. If he’s moved on then their season is write off.
He was gone till Horse knocked it back
Not to mention any other player will realise they need to perform every year of their contract at our club. I’m curious to see how many players have an improvement on last year with some hard work.
I am just happy that the club is trying what they believe will make them a better team in 2026. None of us really know whether Curnow will help us rise back up the ladder, we have fallen short the last 2 GF’s, there are reasons for that, only time will tell and we need to trust the club that what ever decisions they make they are doing it with one thing in mind and that is to win our 6th premiership. If that means trading out players, I am all for it, this is the nature of modern footy and we just need to accept and ride the bumps, premierships are bloody hard to win, but you have to be ruthless in the pursuit for ultimate glory.

Wouldn't Bowman be more of a similar player to Hayward. Harley was very complimentary about Bowman when they asked him to name a Swan to surprise. Im not sure what the actual question was but he did name him as perhaps ready to step up.
I see Hayward amd Bowman with similar traits and body types. Dettoli seems more nuggety and has less of an aerial game
It’s laughable when people keep repeating themselves thinking if they say it enough it may come true.
If you say that enough do you think people will stop

I’d let him walk to PSD then. This actually does create a risk for a Collingwood, as if Buller comes to strong form he is a delisted free agent for life I believe? You don’t really want that for someone you think may have strong upside.
That’s his thoughts not everyone’s. Doesn’t mean he is any more passionate than you or me. Sorry He is passed it. Constantly talks dribble during game commentary on Fox Footy.
Ha ha ! You might be a bit young. Was an ad a fair while ago. Look it up on YouTube.

Would expect that. But flagging to O'Sullivan how keen we are can't be a bad thing. He'll have a contract that ends one day
They might but highly doubtful on this board. Fantasy fanboy land. Reality doesn’t live here.
I assume this is tactical leaving it so late to present an offer? Trying to make them rushed into accepting something by putting the offer in so late. If they reject it though we could **** ourselves over badly by not allowing ourselves time to find a plan B (I hope we have one lined up just in-case of a rejection).
If it's not tactical and we're genuinely still trying to find an offering, you have to question what the actual **** they've been doing for the last 2 months. Yeah it doesn't happen overnight but if we're still not ready 2 days out from deadline for something we knew about back in August, and had these conversations we needed to have with the affected players weeks ago, then seriously wtf.
Surely as a club have known what and who we were going to offer them for Charlie for weeks, ****ing surely?
Like I said, assuming it's all tactical (but yes at the same time, based on last offseason and the small pieces being reported, slightly skeptical too).

Pick 61 does have potential value, as indeed does their remaining pick 77.
They have no points attached, but under the new bidding rules;
Picks in Rd 1 (10% discount)
Picks 19-36 (84 pts discount)
Pic 37 onwards match with your next selection
Previously it was a 20 per cent discount for first round picks and a flat discount of 197 points for picks outside of the first round.
So in certain scenarios picks 61/77 could have as much 'value' as pick 38.
And taking one of those picks, if that is ultimately the best offer from Collingwood, is certainly preferable to letting Buller walk for nothing, if we are anticipating multiple bids on Academy players

So you think after 7 months of talks they will not try and improve their offer? not so sure whats so fantasy about that.

2+2 and pick 22 coming back to us. Surely we can't bend more than that?

Do you think Sydney knew he was flagging his intentions to leave back in May? extremely unlikely we were chasing McKay but he had a change of heart and decided to stay at Carlton.

I think the biggest reason for having the conversations so late is to ensure that the players and their managers aren't able use the extra time to their advantage and consequently foil the Swans' bargaining position in any hypothetical trade. If the news had leaked months ago that we were probably keen on marching Florent on, then he might have sought out a different club and forced a trade like Curnow is now, and thus his value also drops significantly. It's brutal from the club, but it's also the surest way of getting us a deal. Hayward being packaged up with him is probably the only reason why Florent would agree to this trade, frankly.
He was linked to us in August so we atleast knew by then

Exactly this.
All those goals small forwards kick in GF from loose ball gets, who brings the ball to ground?
And who demands enough attention that smaller players have space?
In a GFs*, there are far fewer clean ball gets all over the park because the pressure is so high. We don’t suddenly say that players who base their games on pin point passes suddenly become useless. So why call out the players on the receiving end of these passes?

Everyone likes to look at Brisbane but how many of their goals were from Morris (and Hipwood when he played) creating a contest everytime. It’s not about just marking it, but you then have crumbers off the feet. That’s the other issue especially last year if McLean doesn’t mark it the contest is useless. Now Logan back helps but he is probably still a year or two away from this consistently.
