Never heard of Jake Berketa

 

[Crawb]

Betts seems pretty sure/relaxed on it. Perhaps we needed the Crows to win on Saturday...

 

[brizrider]

"He'll be there" (He'll stay?) "He'll be there"

 

[briztoon]

Exercising my right to overreact. Free speech, constitution, the vibe.

You're thinking of the wrong country mate. No free speech here.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Plan B ?

 

[SizeMatters]

Plan B ?

wait until next year when we get him for a 3rd rounder.

Cameron lives with him I believe .

 

[Eons]

Wasn't convincing at all from Betts, kept blinking when he gave a response about Cameron.

What do they expect players to say in these situations? Yeah he's gone mate back to Brisbane should get pick 18 for him mate all good.

Yeah l didn't think it was that convincing either. Sounded like he didn't know but just wanted to say something to finish the question.

 

[cotter101]

He never said he was staying. He said he'll be there. Actively avoided using the word staying for mine.

 

[blions2001]

So Carlton, Port and anybody else prepared to pay him a rather moderate contract is off their heads and not as smart as the great Noble?

Carlton see the value of bringing him in to help them transition again. They are likely to get younger as a side over the next couple of years and a long way off from contending, yet here they are trying to secure a banged up 27 year old.

I see your point...but grass most certainly looks greener......Eagles gave up PICK 17 for Redden....we gave i think pick 30 for Lyle...we gave 3 years contract to J frost....Rocky is a good solid player at his best, but that;s all what he is....if he stays good, but its not devstating if he leaves...I wud like Lion's second best player/mid (considered/arguably) to be much more damaging than Rocky....

Gut feeling is Cameron won't be coming, really hope I'm wrong though. Geez Ainsworth would of been good for us in retrospect

I'm with you on Cameron. Had they won the flag I would be thinking the other way. Just have the feeling we miss out this year. Maybe next year if he doesn't re-sign with them we will then but not confident this year

So Kennedy's requested a trade to Carlton. I doubt we were ever in the hunt, but aside from Miles it's looking like we won't have many options to replace Rockliff if he leaves. Commiserations to Kennedy, no idea why he's throwing his career down the toilet like about 20 other guys before him.

By the way, the Carlton-GWS trading relationship is dodgy as ****, there's gotta be an investigation.

 

[briztoon]

And Jake Lever has formally requested a trade to Victoria.

 

[jackess]

This time of year is such a huge reminder how big the 'go home' factor is. It's hard to avoid.

 

[Eons]

Adelaide will be very pissed. Traded down to get him and now he's leaving. Seems like a bit of a flog.

Welcome home Charlie Cameron.

 

[jackess]

Welcome home Charlie Cameron.

It'd be nice. We have to improve our timing though based on the Bell and Beams trades and now this.

 

[jackess]

Would probably be a good time for Cameron to request a trade while Lever is getting all the headlines.

 

[jackess]

Which is the better pun; Lever leaving or McStay staying?

 

[Dalions]

Would probably be a good time for Cameron to request a trade while Lever is getting all the headlines.

I felt less confident after his preliminary final performance.
I thought during that game that he looked as though he had made his decision and it allowed him to play with a bit more freedom, mentally as much as physically.
And I wasnt thinking it was in our favour.
But I agree it would be a good time for him, maybe not for Adelaide.
But a better time for us would be next year as he would come a bit cheaper.

Problem is, it's Carlton - a VFL superpower - and GWS - the AFL's lovechild. Investigation is never going to happen. That said, there must be something ridiculously dodgy going on with SOS and GWS. You don't get that many players opting for one club without a reason.

AFL House really irritates me. The double-standards and all that are just ludicrous. Ban Sydney from trading without actually having done a single thing against the spirit or letter of the law, but let Carlton have half of the GWS concessions for pennies on the dollar, and no word at all.
