Could he release Cripps or other to more time forward, for longevity?

Seemingly reliable posters were talking last year that we were in early negotiations with TDK.Havent they both had contracts in front of them for months that they didnt sign?![]()
Ben King comes out of contract as a restricted free agent next year.
It has long been suggested he wants to return to Victoria

It was speculated we started Jack's negotiations in late June...make of that what you will. If its an UFA you want to keep I'd probably fire up discussions earlier.Havent they both had contracts in front of them for months that they didnt sign?![]()

Kemp Moir and Khamis are all more 3rd tall types, and aside from Williams at times none of the others have consistently provided a good link between the midfield and forward line. Unless the situation is truly untenable I’m really hoping we keep him
McGovern won’t be playing for us next year and I’d say 95% Curnow won’t be either.This reads to me as a VFL and train-on opportunity, and it's normal that we hear about a few of these this time of year.
He's not worth more at this stage.
It comes down to price and opportunity, because he's competing with Moir, Kemp, McKay, and Curnow for a spot.
Good forward craft, works against and off body contact well, but doesn't really deliver to his fellow forwards well. Short FF with a bit of pluck but not stellar pace.
McGovern still in the mix for us as well and may be more cost effective and impactful in our forward and defensive mix.
We tried that.
Moir isn't a good link player? What?
Kemp had plenty of drive from half-back, but didn't really get a chance to get expansive in his forward role early in the season.
I think the club will invest in giving him stoppage looks in 2026.
I’m originally from Warrnambool (JUH neck of the woods). Trust me, he is not worth the headacheIt’s not all doom and gloom. The possibilities could be something great for the club.

JUH (if he’d commit and we think we can help him)
We want to free up as many slots for draft and free agency as possible. If a player can stay on the rookie list and not hurt our rookie pre-selections, they stay on the rookie list.O'Keefe shown enough to deserve to be on the Primary list IMHO. Now would be the time to give him a 3 or 4 year contract at a fair wage.
Evans also deserves to be elevated.
Has done absolutely nothing for years now, only consider as an afterthought if we're shipping a lot of small forwards out.Spargo?
Sydney will not entertain trades for Gulden or Warner, and winding up with pick 2 is not what we want in this draft. Dean bid aside, we'd want 2-4 picks in the 6-25 range (including all expected bids).It’s not all doom and gloom. The possibilities could be something great for the club.

We're not having a firesale, start telling your Google app to give you different news.McGovern won’t be playing for us next year and I’d say 95% Curnow won’t be either.
Gruzewski would be a very very good pick up for us
What you’re obviously hoping for and reality seem 2 different things.We're not having a firesale, start telling your Google app to give you different news.
Last year was the year to do that, not now.
I don't care what is being leaked from exit interviews, Sydney either do not have or will not part with anything worth making that happen.What you’re obviously hoping for and reality seem 2 different things.
Happy to have this conversation with you after trade week
Not sure the probability for Curnow is that high at all.McGovern won’t be playing for us next year and I’d say 95% Curnow won’t be either.
Gruzewski would be a very very good pick up for us
Again, happy to pick this conversation up 1 minute after the trade deadlineI don't care what is being leaked from exit interviews, Sydney either do not have or will not part with anything worth making that happen.
If we're kicking off a deeper rebuild now we're in for a shock.
I don't care if it's true or not, without an outstanding offer, it's another **** up.Again, happy to pick this conversation up 1 minute after the trade deadline
If you are so confident what do you consider a realistic trade that would make it happen, Sydney won’t release their high end players so difficult to see it happening?Again, happy to pick this conversation up 1 minute after the trade deadline
Be interesting to see gws rush hogan and stringer back next week and if Gruzewski loses his playing the team he may get disgruntledMcGovern won’t be playing for us next year and I’d say 95% Curnow won’t be either.

There are players there who have been doing this to several coachs now. And the attitude of "it's too hard" spreads and infects new players entering the club.It's funny how this is the overwhelming toe the line narrative now.
Like the current coach and assistants - who are mostly still there - didn't just let this playing group become what they are now.
Not against cleaning house and setting standards of this list or any list - it has to happen after it was left alone to get this far down the line. Just saying.... Gonna be great when the next group end up the same and another 10 years has disappeared because now instead of acting 'too carlton' we act like a snail afraid someone with 3 brain cells on the media will call us 'old carlton'.

No idea, but I’m sure it will get done. It still can get easily done without those top 4 players. Most likely a multi team tradeIf you are so confident what do you consider a realistic trade that would make it happen, Sydney won’t release their high end players so difficult to see it happening?
You may be right, but l see it playing out similar to Petracca last year, don't see Wright carving in and doing a deal for the sake of it.No idea, but I’m sure it will get done. It still can get easily done without those top 4 players. Most likely a multi team trade
I think it was Jim who mentioned Jacob Wehr earlier. Unrestricted free agent, and I remember we were reportedly interested in him in his draft year.
Easily?No idea, but I’m sure it will get done. It still can get easily done without those top 4 players. Most likely a multi team trade

It might get done, but it’s not going to be easy.
