Having a focus and good peers can go a long way towards this end.Main focus for Stengle is getting his life in order, everything else should take a back seat
Fischer McAsey likely to request a trade back to a melbourne club at the end of the season. Would be an ideal pick up.

Yeah, heard that on SEN this morning, and FoxSports also reporting it. Hopefully we're one of the interested parties, he's exactly the type we need right now to develop as Jonesy drifts off into the sunset over the next few years.Fischer McAsey likely to request a trade back to a melbourne club at the end of the season.

Would be terrible for the crows.
High 1st rounder bolting out the door as soon as his initial contract is up ...
#6 in 2019. What does that diminish to?
Caldwell & Hately (Adelaide pre-season draft) recent examples of sliding scale for ex-1st rounders.
Lever the other but considerable returns for Adelaide on that trade.
Should be able to count Essendon (and Melbourne) out for interested parties.
The relative point here is "vfl"
We are not a flag contender this year, yet we will make finals with or without Betts, so I prefer to continue to develop players for when we are a contender
I had the same debate with people before last year, who were adamant he could replicate his last year at the Crows
This situation needs reality

Think Eddie needs to be afforded an opportunity early in the year - if he can find his touch, he'll have a strong year, and if he doesn't then he makes way for a young bloke to have their crack (ie. Durdin or Honey). And I reckon if he struggled in the first few rounds he'd be the first to put his hand up and say he wasn't delivering, and then shift his focus more heavily towards mentoring his replacement.
You don't write off a player of Eddie's quality when you're chasing a finals berth unless you're sure he's lost his edge.
Eddie will still have moments of brilliance, just wouldn't think he could sustain it on the back of what we saw last year
And you're probably right, but I feel that just reinforces my point. You give the champion his chance to shine again - back in front of thousands of Carlton faithful - and if it turns out he has indeed lost his touch then he bows out.
Cause if he gets his head back in the game for one more season, or even half a season before passing the torch, he could absolutely be the difference between making the 8 and missing out.
So you would play him first up against the Tigers, or see some consistancy
Even better they used the stocker pick swap to draft him#6 in 2019. What does that diminish to?

If I was a selector I'd have much more to go off - but from the outside my view is that he's the incumbent and if fully fit should be selected ahead of a kid without the runs on the board.
Different story if he's been fumbling the pill consistently at training, but that's not something we're privy to and shouldn't be assuming is the case.
I guess there are a number of options that I would have ahead of him without them being classified as kids.
Fisher, Murphy, Martin, Williams (after suspension) that I would play as a permanent or rotating option
Others that offer more scope would be Gibbons, Newnes, SPS that are versatile
I think we comfortably fit him in alongside Fisher, Murphy, Martin and Williams, not to mention Newnes and SPS. Think Gibbons is the only one who'd be an either/or consideration.
Plow, Jones, Doc
Saad, Weiters, SPS
Setterfield, Walsh, Williamson
Pittonet, Cripps, Dow
Martin, Casboult, Murphy
Betts, McKay, Fisher
I/C: Curnow, Newnes, (pick 2 of JSOS, O'Brien, Fogarty, Cunners, Gibbons)
Williams then replaces one of those last five.
Perhaps gets a little more tricky if/when Gov is considered fit again, as Teague obviously likes his three-tall setup.
Still very young, so this year will give a more clear indication into what he's worth. If he puts on a few more kilos, he could be a great KPP at both ends of the ground.

More scary than interesting at this stage - for me anyway - and then we play Port and Brisbane back to backA couple of those 5 I don't consider forward options.
First month will be interesting
