    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion

    Dean was a Saints supporter - may not help our cause. That said, they did delist him. Premiership player - hopefully that has consecrated him as a Navy Blue man for life.

    Kane Lucas

    GWS gave $6 million for a 2nd year, unproven midfielder ..........

    Chris Dawes

    Not sure it's been brought up, but if the reason Dawes will go is due to salary cap constraints, then Pies would only want draft pick(s), as they couldn't pay a comparable player anyway. Melbourne offer of about Pick 12 is probably about right. Blues would battle to trade into a position to...

    Worst trades that didn't happen

    Wellingham 66 career games - avg disposals - 17.9 per game - 1 game of 30+. Bastinac 27 career games - avg disposals - 18.8 per game - 0 game of 30 + possessions. Pretty similar really

    Jeff Garlett/Hayden Ballantyne

    As you allude, Carlton wouldn't trade him. But for the sake of the exercise, if Carlton traded Garlett, a 21yo rising AA goal kicking small forward to Melbourne, I struggle to see how the likes of: Frawley, Garland plus a pick, or Trengove weren't on the shopping list. Frawley is probably...

    Is Luke Shuey the 2011 NAB Rising star?

    Young talls have a massive advantage as they are so slow to develop. That in mind, Zac Smith is miles in front. He'll win easily.

    Atleast 5 to leave GC

    Josh Toy was as highly rated as David Swallow. Was clear best of 12 17yos taken and would have pushed Swallow for #1 had it been an open draft. Any club would have him and these dud trades offered up are laughable. If Essendon want Toy, they'd be saying good bye to one of Pears or Ryder...

    What you would give for Brent Stanton?

    Comprehension Kid, massive difference between 'talent' and 'output'. We're talking trading and I'm saying I would sooner keep the kids as they will ultimately be better than where Stanton is now. If the question is "...Who would you have line up tomorrow for greatest effect?..." the answer...

    What you would give for Brent Stanton?

    The question was who on North's list was 'more talented' than Stanton, that's my list. Comprehension not your strong point at school I'm guessing..... Modern day football asks for players to hurt oppositions by footskills. Brent Stanton will never be highly regarded in this category...

    What you would give for Brent Stanton?

    I'd take the following ahead of Stanton: Cunnington; Wells; Wright; Ziebell; Atley; Hansen; McIntosh;

    ABC doco: 3 boys dreaming

    Note that I am a Carlton supporter, but gee the job they've done with Yarran is exceptional. When you listen to his CFCTV interview, he is so confident and so much more polished. To see where he has come from to now, it really is a success story for all involved with him from 14yo and beyond...

    CONFIRMED: #11 Jacobs to Adelaide for 33 and 67

    Crow-Mo, he's your player now. No longer a need to put the skids on his reputation. You got him for a song. Are you making excuses for him already...??

    Ed Barlow could be our next KPD

    I don't mind him. He is not a gorilla, but has decent size. Is not a Melbourne boy at all. He is from Bega. His nickname is Cheese. Good kick - perhaps just a tall Thornton. Had we moved T-Bird on, I'd be all over him.

    Here's the KP Defender we've been looking for.

    http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/afl/afl-news/contrasting-youngsters-hope-they-caught-the-eye-of-afl-scouts-20100615-ydaj.html Article on Dan Noonan. Had played earlier as a forward in u19s too, kicking a few big bags. Not the worst suggestion ever heard. Late Pick, rookie?

    Tony Notte

    Re: Tom Notte Class A Spud. Slow & skinny. Drafted at Pick 20. Has not played a game in 3 years. Apparently had a family member on the board. Was lucky to survive as long as he did. I suggest all 17 clubs look elsewhere.
