If they don’t sign Evans there’s no place on earth the list management team will be safe.

I've stayed up all night studying chaos theory, and the only think that makes sense is the plot of Kevin Durant's 2012 cinematic opus, Thunderstruck.

The collision with May has resulted in some sort of osmotic transfer of All Australian ability. Frankie being much smaller has further distilled those abilities, resulting in the modern day Leigh Matthews we've had charging around in Navy Blue this past month.

If what I suspect is true, and Frankie has stolen May's juju, we will see May run out in round one next year and have a dozen or so kicked on him, while Frankie continues his unlikely asencion to GOAT.

Stay tuned.

Just keep Campbell Brown away from him at the end of season trip.

My preferred list changes (assuming TDK and Silvagni are gone)

Retire - Docherty, Fantasia
Delist - Cincotta, Fogarty, Lemmey
Trade/FA - Silvagni, TDK, Acres, McGovern
Re-sign to 2026 - Wilson, F. Young, Charleson, Haynes, Monohan, Duffy, White
Re-sign to 2027 - Evans, Motlop

I think the above allows us to elevate Lord and HOK whilst keeping Evans, White and Young

I don’t see the harm in keeping Monahan and Duffy for another year due to being Cat B, hopefully they can develop into something - but I wouldn’t be surprised if they were gone

Notes from Jon Ralph article today about Carlton (behind paywall):
  • Carlton would love Silvagni to stay but are losing hope of that being a case as the contract is still unsigned after 3 months.
  • Believes we will clear > 2M in salary cap
  • Carlton in talks with Haynes and Kemp
  • Club has told McGovern his non-selection in RD24 was not to do with his trigger. Club has told it's players they wanted to play the youth in the last five weeks of the season.
  • Club has had talks with Motlop in recent weeks and he will consider his future but the club believe he is keen to re-sign and the club want him to.
  • Will consider the futures of White, Fantasia and Evans in the coming days who are also un-signed
-

Interesting, however you would have to by gulible to believe that Mitch not being selected had nothing to do with his trigger.
How we use the 2m is interesting, no free agents of real interest are left so do we have a trade target or bank it for a crack at a FA next year, looking at who is a restricted free agent at the end of 2026 names of interest

  • Zac Bailey
  • Sam Switkowski
  • Jarman Impey (might be too old)
  • Liam Ryan
  • Rhylee West

Zac Bailey & Rhylee West would be top of the wish list IMO, both would be underpaid at their current clubs and could be lured without blowing the bank on a player like Butters but would improve us out of sight.
 
Have been a bit underwhelmed with O'Keeffe's forward work since he has returned to the senior side. Thought his urgency and aggression was really poor last night.

I like him alot & appreciate he's young and raw but boy he has absolutely no idea what he's doing inside 50.

Whenever we have the ball from a mark or free kick forward of centre he is often in 'no mans land' loping back towards goal with his back to the play. Secondly, for some strange reason when he is deeper he doesn't lead at the ball carrier - he leads to the side or often runs back towards goal not understanding the kicker's strengths.

There’s already evidence for this.

How else do you explain Frank out marking Mac Andrew while standing next to him and giving away a foot and a half.

For those who remember Leigh Matthews that’s the shit he would do.

Zac Bailey will, rightly or wrongly, command at least $1m/season for his next contract.
 
Delist Lemmey and Cincotta? 🤮
Cinc's limitations are clear, we cant hold a player whos only role is a lock down tagger. We learnt with Ed Curnow that modern footy doesnt have room for this type of player anymore. Lemmey just looks that far off it that its hard to see it turning, have to cut the chord eventually.

He can mark, Pitt doesn’t.

Wilson is re-signed already, Fogarty is under contract, Kemp is also out of contract and not mentioned.

Evans and Motlop are two that I would pen in for 1 year with a 1 year option, rather than the flat 2.
 
Delist Lemmey and Cincotta? 🤮
I’m a big fan of Cincotta but I fear the writing is on the wall for him. Lemmey should have been given a block of games this year but wasn’t, disappointing for him - would love to keep him but I don’t think we will.

We have delisted contracted players before (I think) but this one is wishful thinking. I like Fogarty but he is limited and I prefer Evans and F. Young playing that forward role on top of having E. Hollands and Cottrell return

Yep, I forgot to put Kemp down who I’m happy to sign for an additional 2 years.

I think Motlop would likely look at his options if we only offered a one year contract, so two makes sense to me. Happy with Evans for one instead of two but is a cheap forward option and is in stellar form.

Options that are gettable trade wise and draft wise. And salary cap wise and it improves our depth.
I’d like Lindsay Going to be harder to get with where we have finished now.
Draft
Lindsay
Dean
Ison


Jordan butts big key back
Hugh Bond lockdown small back
CJ run and carry
Kane Farrell HB?
Phoenix gothard VIC country FP.
Not big names but will be best 22 and provide more depth.
Gothard looks pretty elusive.
What would it take to get him?

If we could lose Fog and Fanta, that'd leave us with a developing group of Frankie, Mots, Durds, Flynn...plus maybe Gothard/Rosas?
Plus Zac,I'm not so confident on White and Durds, or even if we need them.

What to do with Walsh is the interesting thing, is OOC at end of next year but we couldn't possibly offer him a long term big money deal whilst so many questions around his back/body remain but could risk him walking out the door if we dont tie it up soon.

We'll wanna lock in Evans for 2 seasons to see him through until Tassie enters the comp. At which point he'll sign for Tassie as the AFL's first $3m player.

I'd also love to see Walsh take over the captaincy next year from Crippa.
