Dylan Stephens has to be number one priority.
Dylan Stephens has to be number one priority.
I have it.Are you Faith?
This is true. At the start of the season I would have said we needed quality mids and KPF's more than anything. Now I think we need mids, forwards, defenders and a ruck who isn't totally unco.we have so many needs it’s hard to say anything or anyone is no.1 priority
Still not convinced Tex is going to get to the finish lineComplete hypothetical but say Tex won the Coleman this year what would his trade value be to a contender for a two year deal? I know people will say it’s heresy to talk about trading a club legend but I just reckon he’s holding Fogarty back who I think can only play one position - the one which Tex has first dibs on.
Could Tex do a Brian Lake?

I think it’s highly likely that you’re right but even if he doesn’t win it but does kick 50+ goals would another club look at him?Tex won't win the Coleman, solely because of the quality and quantity of footy being sent his way. Has dropped off his early pace as our entire team has started to struggle.
He wouldn't go to another club.I think it’s highly likely that you’re right but even if he doesn’t win it but does kick 50+ goals would another club look at him?
I still think he will go pretty close to winning the coleman if he stays injury free. His form has obviously dropped off from his opening 3 rounds, but he is still managing to get his 2 or 3 goals a week. He is currently on 27 with 15 rounds to go. If he averages 2 goals a week with a couple of bags of 3 or 4 he will reach the 60-65 goal mark. The last 3 winners (from full seasons) have had 67,65 and 69.Tex won't win the Coleman, solely because of the quality and quantity of footy being sent his way. Has dropped off his early pace as our entire team has started to struggle.
Unfortunately I have to agree with this. His goal kicking numbers has come back to his average over the last month, but I don't think that's a reflection on him. I just don't see enough quality ball coming his way anymore.Tex won't win the Coleman, solely because of the quality and quantity of footy being sent his way.

You're right we can't even get the medical sub position right let alone the guys on the fieldThis is true. At the start of the season I would have said we needed quality mids and KPF's more than anything. Now I think we need mids, forwards, defenders and a ruck who isn't totally unco.
It's not all doom and gloom.You're right we can't even get the medical sub position right let alone the guys on the field
Tex after 3 touches in the last 3 quarters with a clear trend emerging is on radio again talking about his desire for a new contract. No, "it's a long season, need to see how the body is much deeper in the season" for our guys on their last legs. Straight out of the Thommo play book.
I think if Tex did not get a new AFC contract, he would make the decision to retire.Complete hypothetical but say Tex won the Coleman this year what would his trade value be to a contender for a two year deal?

I dont think Tex will move his family for a 1-2 year deal where he may end u p playing a bit of state league football
Tex will put a value on being a one club player and keeping his family settled.......

He doesnt need footy income from a 2 year lifeline contract to pay for his houseTex also has a new house he's building to pay for ..
Club marketing etcPlus we'd move him to some kind of coaching or skills development role. He has an amazing football brain, which hopefully he could pass on.
Carlton's on-ball conundrum continues
The Blues have too many on-ballers and not enough opportunities for them.www.sen.com.au
" Carlton has constructed a list of on-ballers and hasn’t yet worked out how to satiate them all. "
SEN reckon Carton's got too many on-ballers, overuse Walsh/Cripps/Ed Curnow and play other blokes out of position - SPS on a back flank, Cunningham and Setterfield at wing/ half forward.
Can we pinch any of these guys? SPS has been mentioned on this forum and is out of contract this year, but there's other well-credentialled junior footballers there. Kemp was a v. good junior and is out of contract this year but still working back from the ACL. Setterfield also out of contract but he's got a lengthy injury history.
