Sorry for starting two threads in a day, but I feel this one also has some merit.

Antoni Grover and Luke McPharlin are both uncontracted. I would throw the mansion at one of these guys. We would straighten up so much with one HARD key defender.

Thoughts?

I saw his name pop up on the Herald Sun website in relation to Carlton, and was about to post this.

Ladies and gentlemen, silly season has officially begun!

If we went near Grover I'd probably throw up. Decent player, but he's well and truly getting on. Do not want.

McPharlin is a very good player when fully fit, but he too is getting on and he'd cost a hell of a lot. For the right price - yes please. But his right price would no doubt be greater than our right price, so it is a NO from me.

I can't wait for trade week to be over. Why oh why did the idiots running the AFL decide to extend it?
 
Grover will be 31 next year, and is out of contract. Could go the old PSD trick, and price people out of his services. Will be a very good player for a year or two, and that is what we need.
 
Very unlikely Grover will be leaving, now that Tarrant is going. I would love to have Luke McPharlin but he would cost us too much for maybe 3 years service, tops.

Get Matthew Warnock rather than either of these two.

Fair call on that one too. He has some good players at Melb that are competing against him for a spot. He'd easily start in our backline, and make their life a lot easier. If Jammo then gets the 2nd tall, and Bower the 3rd, we instantly look better off.

We definitely need to pick up a young KPD to develop, but a defender isn't anywhere near their prime until around 25+ yo. We need to pick up someone around this age group until either Austin or our draft selections from this yr can develop.

Obviously though, KPD is desperately needed.

Both will re-sign with the dockers before the grand final.

Grover is now eligble for the veteran's list and with Tarrant going there is no chance two WA boys would leave at this stage of their career.
 
Start as many threads as you like.... but not on this far out.

Grover? please.

We have really lost the plot on this board. Literally ANY PLAYER who hasn't resigned gets a new thread.

Grover is the worst so far congrads. Even spanger I would rather so thats saying alot :)

Clearly you know S.F.A about footy then. One of the better defenders going around. The only sticking point is age.

Do you want Carlton to win a premiership with Chris Judd? We can't win a premiership with Jamison and Bower as KPD if you seriously think Luke McPharlin wouldn't be worth trading for because he is 29 there is something wrong with you.. Our KPD are not even top 8 quality

Judd's career will outlast McPharlin's by a fair bit. There are plenty of other options, KPD and other, to strengthen up our list and still a hell of a lot of developing from our current players to come. Settle down mate :thumbsu:

Don't act like such a hero, start another pointless thread and mouth off.

What on earth are you talking about?

Do you ever think before you post, or is that left to after you hit the submit button?

I said I'd take him, but if you are suggesting that the club sells the farm to get him then you seriously have rocks in your head.

HAHAHA bit defensive mate?

A good KPD is the diff between challenging next year, or having a chance in 4 years. you can develop youth, and strengthen your team.

Clueless mate. Clueless.
