I believe we are still in the running for Rockliff, there has been no Intel on how the meeting with the coach went

It will come down to who will pay the money, stride are known to push higher figures on contracts than what the players worth (ask Mackay)

Yep. He's definitely The Trade Whisperer. He's responding to comments in the exact same childishly arrogant manner.

Well, if he had any sources before, they sure ain't going to feed him anything anymore. Lol.

Had a look at AFL.com.au and see the headline "Carlton leading goalkicker signs one-year extension".

So I thought, oh that's interesting - well done to Levi Casboult or Liam Jones, handy one-year extension.

Nope - it's Matthew Wright. How did I not know that he was their LEADING GOALKICKER? Bloody hell. How is that possible.

Look I hope we get Gibbs, his elite foot skills is something our midfield isn't bursting with but 13 is about right for him and that's only because he's contracted and coming off a good year. Do I want to give up a CC or Gov for him as well? Hell no. Not worth it, move on.

Can we win a flag without him? Of course. At the end of 2014 when the WB had finished 14th and Griffen left, who thought they had the midfield to win a flag? No one. Absolutely no one. They haven't added to that midfield at all. They let their young players develop. We had 7 players in the AFLs best 22 under 22. We were very good this year and we'll get better, despite what probably the most negative supporters in the game think. Back your team.
No way comparable to the WB.

Carlton caller on Trade Radio said that Silvagni's in Perth and suggested he might be trying to stitch up Fyfe for 2018...

Wtf is going on this week? That is the stupidest rumour I've ever heard.

No there is a need for it. It's got to the point where I'm completely over the constant degrading of a player who, without a background in the game, has pushed himself and bettered himself to become one of the leading forwards in the game. 62 goals, 5th in the competition, more than Jeremy Cameron, Jack Reiwoldt ,Tom Hawkins and Tex, and we have these ignorant, pea-hearted, deadbeats that have no right to call themselves supporters, that think it's funny to belittle him. Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe them.

And who adjusts B&Fs to games played? Honestly. It's embarrassing.
People who are interested in a fairer positioning of players.

No one is saying Jenkins is shit, no one. The people critical of Jenkins merely point out that given his size and agility he could perform better at the contest and in the ruck, which is fair, and that his 62 goals aren't quite as good as the number alone suggests because it does not take into account how those goals were created, which is also fair.

Take your false indignation and stick it up your arse.

Carlton. That's how it is possible.

SOS offered Wright and then stormed out of the room.

There's no need for this either. Speak to each other like adults for goodness sakes.

We would be finding a third & or fourth partner to trade Gibbs, Could turn into a very complicated trade

One thing I find interesting, how quiet it is regarding Hartlett
Crows: in Gibbs; out 13 & Lyons
Power: in 24 & Lyons; out Hartlett
Blues: in 13 & Hartlett; out 24 & Gibbs

I don't disagree with your stance... I just disagree with how you put it across. Hint: Calling someone a moron is not a way to get them to listen to your viewpoint, let alone consider it. ;)
They weren't going to consider my viewpoint, their inability to understand the game sees to that. Just wanted to let them know they're a moron. Now they know.

We're looking for class, speed and something different to our inside grunt midfielders - Rockliff does not suit that strategy, we're not going for him unfortunately.
