id be comfortable going after omeara of knee checks out. genuine elite talent. give him 6-8 year deal back ended. important not to sell the house though

His knees are shot mate, and he wants too much money ... He isn't the type of player we will be chasing after and offering any player a 6-8 year backended deal is irresponsible list management.
 
Are Jacksh's papers stamped? Not getting picked with Casboult and Kruz out says a lot.

Great pickup. I am really not sold on him, I hope I am wrong and it's weird in his first game against Richmond I thought he showed a bit in the first half however it has been all downhill. This trade (along with Whiley and BB) is really not looking good.

And you can be 200+ cms Robbie Warnock playing as a forward or Mark LeCras at 182cms, or Eddie Betts at 173.

Id take six Eddie Betts up forward over six Robbie Warnocks.

I'd rather have a gun talent who isnt tall over a tall that cant play.

You need two key forwards max. Having a forward line of giants is a terrible idea (particularly in the wet) and particularly considering rotations and the need for positional versatility (the mid sized bloks like the Riolis etcs can play up the ground).

You can go too tall up forward, even if the talent is there as well.

I'll address this point indepth when I return from Perth next week.
 
Eyre Highway is a little different now, Effendi......

Good to see his specialist and manager are still keeping you in the loop, has SOS given you names yet in regards to who we are looking at for the draft?
 
Brad Crouch (Adelaide) is apparently being sniffed around by Vic clubs (so i read on another club board)

Would rather have him than Prestia tbh, but i don't think we're in a position to trade for him.
Prestia's best footy, admittedly before injury, was as good as any young mid in the comp.
Crouch, who i'm a big fan of - is yet to live up to the early expectations of him.

Pretty sure in the draft write ups was mentioned as the next Ablett I think.... I've seen nothing at all from him

If you love O'Meara so much, why don't you marry him ????

Believe what you want at any rate, I am extremely confident he won't be at Carlton next season.
 
Prestia will be a waste of early pick to get him over. I say work some magic to get 2 top 10 picks and spend them both on the best mids we can get.

Bring them up under Cripps' and Murphy's guidance. We'll be in good stead for the future.

Yeah I don't get the Prestia love in myself, if we had two top 10 picks (which would be great, but seems unlikely) I would be happy to spend it on one gun speedy mid, and one KPF (if possible) ...

He's definitely got potential to be top shelf, he's as good an underage player as I've seen it just hasnt translated as yet.
If Sos and co feel like they can tap into his potential so be it.

I didn't say he was going to be, I was alluding to the constant statements from you that his knees are shot and basically career over without actually having a clue.

Interesting if the season ended now we wouldn't have a top ten pick

I don't advocate tanking when you've got a coach whose doing so well but the question must be asked how do we get the prime picks we need to boost our list of the talent it lacks?

I suppose we will likely not win the next two and really all things considered we will probably end up with a pick around 8-10

But we still need more top 20 picks

Cas surely would not be traded now assuming he asks for a fair deal to stay on

Dre wouldn't be worth much in a trade

What would Jaksch fetch us if anything ??

You don't have to be Dr Peter Larkins to make an educated guess that his knees are buggered. I don't even know when he'll be back for The Suns this season.
Any club that takes a punt on him is taking a massive gamble, one that our footy club simply can't afford to take.
