I guess losing one of your best players is like your trophy wife leaving you for another bloke isn't eay.

But when she leaves you for the fat loser guys for money, it's next-level humiliation.

Now remind me again how relevant and successful your mob has been since getting busted for cheating?

Maybe it was that time supercoach Pagan sent Fev to full back.

Enjoy Vossy

Enjoy your suspension as you stand in front of your photo of your only premier ship captain holding your only premiership cup wearing a Collingwood jumper - a premiership captain you thought so little of you honoured him by paying him only 5% of his contract.

Good luck to TDK its life changing.
but hes currently 26, will be turning 27 in July on a 8 year deal.
Can anyone still see him playing at the age of 35.
I'll be more disapointed if Charlie goes.
 
I'm for the wrecking ball approach, Crippa and Charlie traded out, dealing with Port and Sydney. Would be one of the biggest trades of all time, verging on a Navy Andrew scenario but....

Based on the Crippa go home for family reasons factor, and Charlie wants 'outa town' to surf, and throwing everything at the Butters/Reid Premiership reset

Carlton in- Reid
Butters
Dean
Ison
Sydney 2nd Round pick, used for Dean
Eagles 2nd Round pick, sent to Port

Carlton Out Crippa (Eagles, and Swans F1 '25, and Warner) would give Eagles three top ten picks
Charlie and future 1st (Swans)
TDK (Aints)
JSOS (Dogs)
TDK & JSOS Compo picks (both to Port, with McGov and the Eagles 2nd)

Based on the premise that we don't need the two big forwards, that HOK/Pitto/Reidy take the ruck, Kemp returns to Def to sort JSOS' position, that Butters and Reid combined with Walsh, Jagga, George, Cera, Lord et al is bona fide A Grade Midfield with serious Premiership credentials.

It's affordable

Dare to dream Andrew
I wrote something similar and 6 million supporters jumped on me.
Anybody who didn't realise TDK was gone by round 10 is obviously Carlton mad, but also blind.
We either trade or die.
There's to many average bottom of the list players we have to offload.
 
$1.85 million over 8 years for a $800k ruckman who is injured more often than not.

Thats insane. Genuinely insane.

Good luck to Tom. No way he could turn that down. Congrats
Only a madman guilty of offering other peoples $1.1m in 2018 for Sheil and $1.2m in 2019 for Cogs would be capable of this level of generousity.
 
Saints have to get an AA ruckman out if TDK with about 22+ high quality games a year for 4-5 years for this money to be worth it. They will also require multiple top 4 finishes and a premiership for this to be deemed successful. Within the next 2-3 years if nothing improves, particularly their bottom 3rd of the list (they still rely heavily on a defensive cheat in Wilkie and an aging MaCrae). TDK won’t be playing well into his thirties.

I truly expect him to blow his body up early with the pressure he will under from the club and the supporters. Or he could go the other way and take it easy like he has for us the past 3 months. The competitive best we saw for 4-5 rounds last (and that’s all it was) may actually be gone. He will want the longevity of his body to ensure he keeps getting paid. There is zero movement in this price tag for saint kilda either. Being that’s it’s a free agent. We’ve seen how SOSs contracts for McGovern, Williams and Saad snd probably more hamstrung the club and they sold in comparison.

There is a flukers chance SOS will come up roses with this. If Swann and co. alter the ruck rules to return to favouring the jumping rucks, he could quickly go to the top of the tree. Just some chance Ala NicNat.

Yeah that's a good point Coona. My issue with Tom is & has always been his disposals after he wins the ruck/clearance. Absolute ruckman by hand & foot.
 
Have a mate who is a HUGE dees fan. Says May is a gun player, but a massively toxic person. Do not want.
Tend to agree, but if comes up as a salary dump for a couple of years while HOF rehabs and Dean develops it probably becomes an attractive proposition. Reckon we have enough strength to cope on a sunset deal. His IP in an abbreviated block couldn’t necessarily be a bad thing.

One option which could be explored. Short term gain, no long term pain. We don’t need depth with the two high quality (maybe generational) youngsters ready to step up from 2027. Maybe better options present.
 
Like I said earlier... the AFL aren't going to invent some mythical band 1+ tier compo pick...

As much as we wish that to be the case, it isn't gonna happen...

Best we could possibly hope for, is given JSOS is probably leaving too and compensation is calculated by net loss, the combination of TDK + JSOS's new contracts gets us two band 1 picks so we end up with pick 10+11 (assuming Draper leaves * as well, they'll get band 1 compo for him, pushing our pick back another spot).

But even that is more wishful thinking...
What it does mean if we bring a free agent in we may still end up with van 1 because the TDK deal is so maasive

Even if he does, it’s still negligent to pay that much to a ruck. Even the best ruck in the comp.

If Saints and SOS bid on Dean it would damage any future dealings between the clubs. It would be an arseh*le move after the TDK thing.
That’s a bit naive for mine.
