Am I reading too much into you saying "that's right" Harker? Have you heard similar?
Can confirm I have also heard similar rumblings from various sources around the traps.

Id take that deal and run like banditsI'd want a late first or early second coming back with Gaff.
Carlton:
Lose Gibbs + Pick 37
Gain Gaff + Pick 17

There are two parts to that answer. a. Yes. b. It's somewhat obvious that we would be.
Mids now and the final piece of the puzzle at the end of the 66/88 re-build.
Was good with the Carlisle thing until we decided we didn't want to pay the price.How good is 2Plank's credibility and info?

Carlton have tabled a 6 year offer to Tom Lynch's management @ $1.6 million per year.
I think we'd only do it if we get either / both Kelly or Hopper first.Imo that 3 way trade compounds the load already on Cripps with Gibbs going out we will need atleast 2 mainly inside/outside players to replace him and adequately support Cripps . Kelly and Hopper would certainly tend to that but a big ask getting 1 let alone both . Gaff is purely outside . Think ahead Cripps gets injured no Gibbs and we dont get Kelly or Hopper . Gaff certainly no value in that scenario .
This Lynch talk does not excite me at all. I'm actually hoping it's not true
though I'll be pissed if we blow 1.6mill AND draft picks to get him this year.
One of the proposed free agency mechanisms was becoming a restricted free agent after 4 years if you're paid under the median wage, which is not the case for Lynch.I don't disagree, hence why I asked if the unrestricted FA eligibility was being lowered after recent CBA
Even though we repeatedly borked up many drafts after laying the foundations on our last rebuild it's incredibly important that we continue to do so. Forking out excellent draft picks and mega dollars does not build depth in your list.
I'm happy to over pay for a player but $1.6mil is a joke. Also the GC are going to be pissed off so I imagine we will still have to trade.Why would that be?
We have two drafts/trade periods and a lot may yet depend on what is achieved this year.
In the meantime, we'll have to keep a close eye as to how our recent draftees are coming along.
It's not out of the question we could be in a ready-to-launch position at the end of the 2018 season.......so why not launch?
I doubt WC will trade Shuey, given their weakest area is the midfild and that he just signed an extention
As for Gaff, WC could be open to a trade, depending what they could get for him before he is a RFA at the end of next year.
No reason why we shouldn't shake the tree at GC, but i would be surprised if Lynch was the target this year, rather than next

I don't think they can afford to lose either of them with Priddis & Mitchell retiring this year.
I thought we were going after elite young talent?
But why would they.
He just signed a 4 year contract extension until 2022 in June.
