Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Not sure it matters. Even if Kemp's ceiling is 1.5-2 goals per game, we're still probably ahead. We've got enough threats up forward without Harry, whereas we're leaking goals every week due to lack of a genuine second tall.Can we see Kemp forward more than one game against the worst side of the last 3 years before we shop around Harry at CHB? Don't get me wrong, he was excellent Sunday, but need to see more of it before we decide to move a Coleman medalist into the backline.
Haynes is a free hit and I’m hoping it’ll free kemp to move forward but we still need to address the KPD role.
Not sure what to make of Houston. Is that a high priority need at this stage??

Are the Campo boys any good?The immediate need for the list I would think is a second genuine key defender and a midfielder with pace. Behind that maybe a gun small forward.
Overpaying to pry out a contracted back flanker would not be the right play.
Only a rumour so I won't put too much weight to it, but I feel it would be a dumb move.

More trades like Blacres, Hewett please..... guys who are best 22 at current club but are getting squeezed out by salary cap/team balance. (Elijah Hollands trade also a masterstroke, but we got lucky there on price).
None of this 2 x firsts rubbish. Players rarely end up worth the price.... Especially not for a 27yo. That's what free agency is for.
I agree, I said that a pick around 10 straight up would be about right. The rest is negotiation. I'd be willing to be a little overs, which in the end is just a swap of 2nd for 3rd next year, a year when we have NGAs so may not need the higher end picks as much.Given up a first rounder and second rounder is way overs in my opinion given his age. Bailey Smith at 23 is looking at a mid first rounder to get a deal done. I'd prefer to target Miles Bergman.
Should have loaned them O’Farrell last night and called it square…..Ports first pick is around 37 atm.
Would offer our R1 this year flat as our best offer… a mid first rounder is about right even contracted.

Do they want to play for Carlton?
How does dad feel about Carlton?
Maybe voss has a strong connection and wants him?Completely agree with your Haynes & Kemp thoughts.
Also agree with your thoughts on Houston. Is he that much of a 'need'?
Yes, a very good player but surely we have more pressing needs such as a young KPD, a speedy midfielder & a goalkicking small/medium forward before overspending on another player like Houston?
Feels like we're falling in love with the first player to blow us a kiss.

1 is good, the other is meh - terrible footskills.
They also apparently have a habit of absolutely ripping into their teammates real bad. Not in a good competitive way either.
Well what's with the compulsion to have both? Are we collecting sets?1 is good, the other is meh - terrible footskills.

Rubbish. They are high standard players, teammates trying to be heroes warrants a spray sometimes, never watched a game they've played and thought they were doing anything but show leadership and directing teammates etcThey just need to get humbled, I am sure Cripps will give them a lesson and bring them down to earth.
Entering an AFL team environment and being surrounded by players that can run rings around you should be an appropriate Humbling experienceThey just need to get humbled, I am sure Cripps will give them a lesson and bring them down to earth.
The goal at the start of this rebuild was sustained success.
Didn’t actually rule it out in the end, just discussed the difficulty in meeting Ports demands.Didn't see that. Bit surprised by that.

Did Jon Ralph just report that Jack Martin is about to be offered another contract?Hun
Moneyball: Carlton keeping fringe forward Matthew Owies in the dark on new deal, out of Houston race

Carlton small forward Jack Martin is also set to receive a contract offer and while suitors had been keen on him he has broken down in two of the three games he has played this year.

Im hoping it was meant to say yet instead of set.Did Jon Ralph just report that Jack Martin is about to be offered another contract?![]()
Yes lolDid Jon Ralph just report that Jack Martin is about to be offered another contract?![]()
We've had an ongoing parade of hacks over the last 30 years....a percentage of our list..plus some hero players expected to carry the burden.Fair enough, there is finding balanced showing leadership and being an outright dick spraying someone.
