BigFooty AFLW Notice Img
AFLW 2025 - AFLW Trade and Draft - All the player moves
Due to a number of factors, support for the current BigFooty mobile app has been discontinued. Your BigFooty login will no longer work on the Tapatalk or the BigFooty App - which is based on Tapatalk.
Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
It'll be up to the Swans to find 2 top 10 picks for Charlie.Swans have a history of chasing gun forwards. It is their biggest current hole. Their candidates are āalmostā types and havenāt consistently performed. Plugger, Big bad Barry, Buddy, they have a history.
Not sure how they get a deal done though, role players donāt get it done.

No we donāt have to.
Charlie played like a guy who didnāt have a pre-season and you could tell all season he wasnāt right. Making him the scapegoat of our problems is wrong and lazy.
For us to move forward we need to address our needs by making smart decisions, we need to bring in fresh assistants who will update the game plan to a modern style and we need to build around our elite players while also keeping them fit. The answer is not trading Charlie, Walshy, Harry, Crippa or Weiters.
Good clubs donāt do that.
Like weāve said in the past it starts with Errol.Swans have a history of chasing gun forwards. It is their biggest current hole. Their candidates are āalmostā types and havenāt consistently performed. Plugger, Big bad Barry, Buddy, they have a history.

Havenāt made one excuse, not having a preseason is a fact and impacts every player and thatās the reality.Keep making excuses for them... reality is, they've got us nowhere and they're almost out of their prime...
That just isnāt our best team.

just read it nowSwans coming for Charlie according to todayās herald sun
Yep, I cringe when media and posters throw up handfuls of fring players from other teams. There is the odd hidden gem to be found languishing behind a coachās bias, but there is usually a reason blokes donāt get games.Carlton does not need to top up its list with more mediocrity. We have more than enough of that already.
I hope not, just complicates it too much when Sydney have what we needI think it will start with a 3rd team getting involved...
who makes us bettter IF Charlie goes to Sydney.
Keeping in mind we still havent replaced Owies and some of the supporters lost it when he left.
Hope its West coast....I think it will start with a 3rd team getting involved...
Well we are certainly not trading him for role players/solid citizens/draftees.No āstarā is walking in through the doors at PP for 2026. We will be limited to bringing in role players/solid citizens/draftees. Thatās regardless of who walks out.

If the return is sufficient, I believe we are in the position to absorb the loss of Charlie.who makes us bettter IF Charlie goes to Sydney.

There should be a new focus at Carlton on developing young Players to be the best they can be ... a bit like how some teams have average lists with few Stars where the Coaches get the most out of them. (eg Richmond, Geelong)
Could start with improving their skills, especially if they have a weakness .. ie good Player but poor kicking .. or poor awareness, endurance etc. I can't see why Coaches can't turn a B Grader into B+
From what I hear ... Carlton have been very poor at developing Players .. time to finally tick that box

I'm with you it is exciting, if i look at it another way, us supporters will always try to find the light through the tunnel, the hope that things will change. It is frustrating that we are here again looking for that and hoping once again.I'm not sure about many others. But I'm a little excited about TDK, SOS and possibly Charlie leaving, face it, this year, TDK and Charlie haven't really set the world on fire (this year), and SOS has been good this year, but a bit underwhelming overall.
Lets see what we get back and what we do with it. There are so many possibilities.
I feel that we've been missing some pieces over the last few years and hopefully we can address that over the next 4 months (NGAs and Harry), then the inclusion of a jet mid/fwd next year in Cody. It's exciting. New coaching group, new HoF. The future is (hopefully) bright.
It'll be a bloody interesting next 4 months. But I'm chips in on this new regime and will ride all the bumps.. because lets face it... I love this club.
Your're right though, an accelerated player development program should be an area we heavily resource. Next mission is to maximise the talents of the Campo twins.
Therein lies the problem. I donāt see how weāre going to be satisfied in any trade deal for Charlie.
28 year old key forward thatās contract should net you a huge return. But my prediction is we wonāt be satisfied in any deal because a Gulden, Larkey or Warner wonāt be coming back the other way.
