I think we can afford Fyfe or Martin + Josh Kelly. In the next few years Joey, Gilbert & Rooey are likely to retire and it will free up some cash as well.
IMO it'd potentially help free up cash before they retire. If the club said to Roo and Monty that taking significant unders on their next contracts would help ensure we got Fyfe and Kelly then they'd be stupid not to. They have to have made enough $$$ over the years to set themselves up for life so they could take a lean year or two for that last shot at a flag.

How much you reckon Rooey, Gilbert and Rooey are on. I honestly think all of them combined would be over 1+ mil.

We may trade away players like Lewis Pierce, Billy Longer, Possibly Minchington.

Waldy has had good mail in the past and if this one is on the money it probably indicates that we are pretty confident that we have bigger fish to fry than Kelly, which is pretty exciting.
Bigger fish to fry than Kelly. They must be Moby Dick.

And yes I know whales arent fish. And frying a whale would need a bloody big fry pan.

Sorry my Asperbergers has just kicked in.

I reckon it would take 2m easily

1.2m for fyfe
800k for jelly

Even then I'm probably short.

But allowing for the fact that we know we have over a mill spare, surely with some offloading of players etc we could make it happen? Surely? Right?????


Don't you ******s DARE shatter my dream!
Especially with the salary cap increase

Stanley traded for pick 21. Was a absolute bargain.

Who knows some fool like cats may want Minchington.
Ruck/forward is an in-demand position so clubs pay more for that type. Mids/small forwards are dime a dozen and not particularly sought after, especially when they are on the fringe of a mid-table list like ours.

Highly unlikely any other club would even look twice at Minchington.

The most important thing was Stanley was actually playing

27 Blues players out of contract at the end of this year :eek:

Too bad they're all spuds :p

Carlton's unsigned list also includes its only remaining player from the 2014 NAB AFL Draft, Boekhorst.

The Blues selected Boekhorst with pick No.19, a selection acquired in a trade with Greater Western Sydney that also involved Carlton giving up pick No.7 (Paul Ahern) and acquiring Jaksch and Mark Whiley.

Jaksch played just seven senior games in his first two seasons at Ikon Park, while Whiley was delisted at the end of last season after nine games.
lol

Cuz just looks like a rugged and slightly para bloke,

But: Yikes! Is THAT Daniel Chick nowadays? I would not like to meet that monster in a dark alley. Is his face shrinking or his head inflating? Terrifying image.
Oh.

I just finished reading that Thread of Daniel Chick's. I must apologise, I obviously wouldn't have made fun of him had I known about his health struggles. Hope he gets the help he needs.:oops:
