Watch them draft a raft of spuds now.

whats a half dozen of spuds called?



carlton

 

[Purple Jesus]

Sydney when they got their players back looked really good. Now they finally have a good target up forward they’re looking dangerous

Hyper dependant on Gulden (I guess like we are on Switta and Young).

 

[Docker82]

He would considerably improve our forward line, it would be stupid not to pick him before Adelaide do if he was available.

We'll see but I don't think I remember a good player apart from Nick Stevens not getting where they want to go in the PSD.

 

[The Feeder Club]

Ha Ha Hawthorn

Got pwned. Demonstrably weaker in October than they were in September

 

[Midnite65]

Carlton now have 6 firsts over the next three years

But they lost Silvagni, Curnow and De Koning so good luck the next two years. IF McKay gets injured or gets the kicking jitters again are they going to be reliant on Haywood and Motlop to kick their goals?

 

[Purple Jesus]

No I didn't.

Outside of Leek Aleer who just requested a trade there isn't that many better 'depth' KPDs across the league than Omac and Draper.

You might be able to find 3-4 others tops.

There's a reason Lever and May were the key pillars of Melbourne's short dominance (and flag). If you leak goals for any period, you're done. We did that in parts in most games last year. Being that reliant on Pearce and Ryan (hopefully was just carrying injuries most of the year) makes me nervous. Talk about key man risk.

Compare May and Lever to Pearce and Cox or you're comparing apples with oranges.

F*** me, Carlton just won a set for life scratchy. Able to set themselves up for a medium rebuild to replace key components whilst being competitive in the present.

Will they be competitive? They finished 11th this year WITH Curnow? How are they going to go next year with Petrucelle instead?

 

[Taylor]

We'll see but I don't think I remember a good player apart from Nick Stevens not getting where they want to go in the PSD.

There hasn't been a player taken in the PSD who hadn't first agreed to terms with the club that took them in decades

 

[Purple Jesus]

Did Jai Serong get done?

 

[Taylor]

Did Jai Serong get done?

Yes.

Jai Serong (HAW) and 2026 R4 (Hawk) traded to Sydney for 2026 R3 (Syd)

 

[Alfonz]

Add Geelong (Worpel), Sydney (Curnow) and Giants (Oliver) to the list. Glad I'm not the only one concerned.

I'm not concerned at all. I see more scope for improvement in Freo than any other side.

Worpel might be reasonable, but hardly a star. And it's one more year of Dangerfield, Cameron, Stewart, Stanley/Blicavs declining. Plus they missed out on Curnow and Marshall.

Sydney have gone all in. Could work short term, but they are coming from a way back and heavily reliant on an old Grundy. And have lost 2 reasonable players.

GWS have lost Darcy Jones for the season. Kelly looking like he will miss most of the season as well with a severe injury/surgery. Oliver has been rubbish and a loose cannon off the field.

Hawks got nobody and lost 3 reasonable depth players. Day can give them a big boost. Crows, Dogs, Pies did basically nothing.

GC will be hard to beat. But maybe Petracca has hit the Fyfe/Dusty wall. JUH could be a problem child. They've lost depth players and Humphrey is on a mission to leave that could destabilise things behind the scenes. Walter could follow.

Brisbane obviously still the benchmark. Lost Starcevich and maybe Ah Chee. Draper only cancels out Big O. Allen could be a gem, but status quo back to Daniher. Academy/FS rorts and Morris will improve. Coleman? Zorko, Neale, Lester getting really old.

Overall I see it as a QLD 1-2, with Freo as the main contender to disrupt that.

I wouldn't be worried about Worpel or Oliver. McVee is a better addition. He gives Longmuir the chance to improve us strategically.

 

[Ge3ks]

Absolutely hilarious watching the Carlton board melt that they got bent over before the actual deal was announced.

That’s massive over

They are gonna get bent over on the field in 2026.

F*** me, Carlton just won a set for life scratchy. Able to set themselves up for a medium rebuild to replace key components whilst being competitive in the present.

Bent over. 2026.

Watch them draft a raft of spuds now.

Even if they draft guns, they will become spuds at Carlton.

But they lost Silvagni, Curnow and De Koning so good luck the next two years. IF McKay gets injured or gets the kicking jitters again are they going to be reliant on Haywood and Motlop to kick their goals?

BOver. '26

There hasn't been a player taken in the PSD who hadn't first agreed to terms with the club that took them in decades

So what you’re saying is the PSD threat is never real and no team should trade for an ooc player?

 

[Docker82]

There hasn't been a player taken in the PSD who hadn't first agreed to terms with the club that took them in decades

And Ah Chee has agreed to terms with Adelaide...

Wouldn't be surprised if some clubs try and convince him to agree to a deal with them in the background but if he stats committed to Adelaide I reckon he plays for Adelaide next year.

If Kurt Tippett got through to Sydney, Ah Chee will get through to Adelaide.

 

[Eski3]

From a Freo perspective, I'm actually quite happy with the trades that didn't happen. Geelong getting Marshall and Hawks getting Merrett would have made those teams very difficult next year. The one that might hurt us is Gold Coast getting Petracca, but they actually lost a fair bit of depth this trade period. I don't know if Curnow makes Sydney the premiership threat to the extent that the media are convinced he will

 

[Taylor]

So what you’re saying is the PSD threat is never real and no team should trade for an ooc player?

I'm saying the PSD is an option for a certain type of player that has found their services valued higher than market somewhere.

It's not like superstars are walking to the PSD.

 

[s_wd6]

If you’re WC you have to take him. Trade him to Adelaide a year later if you have to. Shouldn’t be helping good teams get better

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

Wlliams (Ah Chee Manager) fronting a presser with Ah Chee says a lot about Brisbane being ****heads

Putting aside Brisbane shooting themselves in the foot, it feels crazy that Adelaide and Ah Chee's management are seemingly relying on the non-dickhead armistice btwn clubs to stop 1 of 13 clubs selecting him before them. There's been at least a fracturing of that today. Adelaide can play with the contract however they want, they can't stop West Coast matching that contract.

 

[Docker82]

If you’re WC you have to take him. Trade him to Adelaide a year later if you have to. Shouldn’t be helping good teams get better

Why'd West Coast care about Adelaide getting better?

It's an extra player on Adelaide's list that'll be retired the next time West Coast is any good again if anything.

 

[Taylor]

And Ah Chee has agreed to terms with Adelaide...

Wouldn't be surprised if some clubs try and convince him to agree to a deal with them in the background but if he stats committed to Adelaide I reckon he plays for Adelaide next year.

If Kurt Tippett got through to Sydney, Ah Chee will get through to Adelaide.

Things can certainly change, but if Adelaide are offering money and success I don't see many other teams having that available for him. Crows missing out of Wanganeed-Milera and the over a million they had aside for him, while finishing top, opened the door for a unique position.

I'm sure all the clubs at the bottom can afford him, but he doesn't need to go to them to get paid.

It’s about getting whatever they can to help them improve when the draft is so compromised

 

[Joao]

I'd be absolutely filthy if I were a Bombers or Hawks supporter, but as a neutral, that was amazing.
