The coach could be gone next year. The list manager needs to think much longer term including managing the salary cap.The coach is being reported as wanting Houston. If Voss wants Houston, the club should oblige if it can.

Straight swap for Martin.Nathan O'driscoll is out of contract. Running player who breaks the lines with a long raking left foot
Made of glass but is a very good player.Nathan O'driscoll is out of contract. Running player who breaks the lines with a long raking left foot. Could be used as a running half back for 300k. Money ball pick up at 22 years old.
But we're chasing a 32 year old Haynes who is also injury prone?Made of glass but is a very good player.
Personally don't think the club goes for it given all the scrutiny over our injury woes over the last few years but he's definitely a player who could have an impact if he got a clean run at it.
I think all of us are fairly bemused at the Haynes link though aren't we?But we're chasing a 32 year old Haynes who is also injury prone?
Wishful thinkingThe coach could be gone next year. The list manager needs to think much longer term including managing the salary cap.
No current season stats available
AFL.com "CARLTON is willing to dip into its future picks this off-season to strengthen its trade ammunition, with the club hopeful of using a full complement of this year's selections at the draft"
Exactly what I have been told and have been posting for months. Austin wants to go to the draft and wants more picks. Future first in very much on the table
Focus has always been picks and value trades
Is he? Has played at least 17 games or more in each of the last 10 years.But we're chasing a 32 year old Haynes who is also injury prone?
I believe you when you state this, its not a bad strategy, i hope we strengthen for now as well but, if we as a team in the premiership window, go two years in a row, where we just go to the draft, trade depth players and bring in bargains, then like Iāve been saying all year and last year and have been shot down.
We have no $$$$ for quality players and a tight cap.
Our competitors are adding quality additions and we expect to overtake them by taking kids.
Im a bit sceptical, a lot to play out though.

Hayne acquisition is ok but the key need is a KPD.
If we can bring in a KPD and Haynes that will free up McGovern to move forward (3rd tall). We also have kemp and Jsos for the 3rd tall forward role.
And it means weāll have the flexibility of playing weits young and new KPD on the tall forwards.
Itās a really important need imo.
Loving that prospect Soap, but we need to create more spots to accommodate them.Nothing outstanding but issue is I don't think you will see the big deals or anything that hasn't discussed. Austin's focus hasn't changed
What I am hoping for (and I'm told we are keen) is to trade future picks for this year to get another 1 or 2 inside Top 25.
Loving that prospect Soap, but we need to create more spots to accommodate them.
Popular thoughts have the reported delistings, plus Martin, Carroll and Owies probable/possible outs. Only two main listers gone to date (by reports) three more being talked about. Five spots. Would be hue and cry if we donāt retain Boyd, which means a spot gone for upgrade.
That only leaves four main list spots without some creativity or left field out going trades. I would love a handful of main list draftees including the Campos. To do that we need at least one more spot. That is before trading anyone in.
Austin has an unenviable juggling the list. Needs a minor miracle to get it all done. Waiting on the whingers when he doesnāt give what the impractical among us want.
