They'd be willing to let him go. He's not that good and injury prone. A slight upgrade on Gunston but you're gambling to get his body right. Pass for mine.Would the saints be willing to let Jack Hayes go?
Would be a good addition to our forwardline if we got his body right

If Fages is set on a 3 tall forward setup being our best option I would prefer a more mobile type than Fort, someone that can put decent forward pressure on and provide some chop out in the ruck along with Daniher for the Big O.He'll be excess to our needs at this stage, will be stuck in reserves like Fort.
I think Gunston's around next year as well. If Gunston is not playing then it has to be Fort if we want a tall or Ah Chee/Rayner if we go medium.

I agree but am really curious as to why he has become so borderline at Carlton - from an outsider's perspective it doesn't make a lot of sense.If Fages is set on a 3 tall forward setup being our best option I would prefer a more mobile type than Fort, someone that can put decent forward pressure on and provide some chop out in the ruck along with Daniher for the Big O.
The more I think about it Jack Silvagni would be a terrific option for that role IMO.
heard he is quite unprofessionalWould the saints be willing to let Jack Hayes go?

Vossy just not a fan of him, happens sometimes, he is an unrestricted free agent so would only cost us a list spot and salary cap space.I agree but am really curious as to why he has become so borderline at Carlton - from an outsider's perspective it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Silvagni is an unrestricted free agent, which means he's among the top 25% earners ok Carlton's list. Would that be too much of the cap space?If, at season's end, Fagan and Gunston have an honest discussion, I would welcome Gunston to the coaching panel. Then, if he was keen, I could see Silvagni as a big upgrade on Gunston.

Had a brain fade, play on.Doesn't unrestricted mean he's NOT in the top 25%?
Wouldn't be a bad idea to stay away from Carlton's cast offs. He is a nondescript third tall type who was not much chop there and wont get any better here. In my opinion.
I get what you’re saying but I think he fits into more a Lyons situation where the skills are there but the situation isn’t right. It’s not like we are grabbing Dow who I think would better fit that bill.
He is a decently athletic third tall who can take a mark but is also fast enough to apply pressure around the ground. If needed he also can float back as well.
We currently really lack KPP depth as well and Gunston is only hear for another year max and it takes longer to develop a draftee. Maybe Fullerton can play that third tall but Silvagni has shown much at this stage.
KPP depth is an issue, no doubt. Even then it would be a waste of a list spot to recruit a player who cant keep his spot in a poor Carlton outfit. Lions recruiters will have better prospects in mind, I reckon.
Yes but also Lyons literally never got a game at Gold Coast either. Like I said I feel like the talent is there but it’s not the best situation.
It's hard to judge SPS in West Coast's team. Really hard for anyone to look decent in that team currently (apart from Oscar Allen).To add on to myself. Levi Casboult, Liam Stocker and Will Setterfield have left for other teams in the past two years having done not much at Carlton at all. They have all been very good at their new clubs having all been getting consistent games in the senior side (Setters was but has been injured for the last couple months).
The other two that noticeably left are Sam Petrevski-Seton and Liam Jones. The former admittedly hasn’t done much at West Coast as a former fifth pick but I feel like he fits in the Paddy Dow category more. Liam Jones was good at Carlton and good at the Dogs so I feel like he was less relevant as well.

Because we don't really have holes in those positions.Not going to put any thought into it but couldn't see any of these players walking into our side.

We do have a hole at third tall forward, and lack KPP depth.

I dunno they were keen on Gunston for some reasonLions recruiters will have better prospects in mind, I reckon.

Esava Ratugolea would be a perfect recruit IMO. OOC I believe? Nice size, recently gone down back and acquitted himself well. Would offer KPP and break-glass ruck coverage. Only 24 so development in him yet. Mobile but fairly accountable. Has flaws but anyone at his price will.
Could become something between Joel Patfull and Jason Roe for us.
