Re: McGovern
I'd really like to see him break his contract and walk to PSD. We can stay at Arm's length through that

Re: Shiel
Surely St Kilda not a threat.

He could easily retire, get delisted and then put his name in the PSD. Simples.

You'd be surprised how much stuff you can get done in 19 minutes.

In a few years, you'll be able to look at an xray, make some notes and charge $350.

AND have 12 mins to spare!

Obviously we’re biased here, but looking at St Kilda list - who is he looking at that he’d consider a player who can help win a premiership?

We don’t have many, but at least a we have some.

If St Kilda comes in with a huge offer it may cause a re-negotiation of the numbers with us (or others), but I’d be shocked if he went there. There’s a reason they are being considered for a priority pick... the list is diabolical.

For all the building blocks we’ve put in place, genuinely hope we don’t piss it away in a bidding war for another Messiah.

Im assuming that's a Shiel reference? I would suggest the large majority of people think he is simply a good player and will improve us and help us improve. Not sure any, or many, think he is a messiah. Some over rate him sure and some simply don't want him for whatever reasons.

Even if Shiel has indicated to his manager that, if he leaves he prefers team X. You would still expect his manager to look at all options and meet with all clubs. If not he is not he shouldn't manage. The rumours come out and bump his price up. Open market economy, demand Vs Supply if demand is higher than supply price goes up.

Don't know how much of their money is tied up in Carlisle, so it's possible that they're sitting almost as pretty as we are.

And, realistically, they almost need him more than we do; he'd be a pinch of x factor in a list of mediocrity, and his influence might provide Billings with a bit of pressure and a mentor in the aim of finding some consistency.

Their end is easy to understand, but why Shiel'd go to them - or us, really - is a bit of a stretch for me. He's on decent money, his team's made finals for what, the third/fourth year running, and he's a FA next year in a situation to make this the payday of all paydays. He's a chance, provided the finals are good for him and his form is good next year, to initiate a bidding war for his services next year, and set himself up for life.

Don't get me wrong, I hope he chooses us. I just don't see his reasons for opting out now, not with his contract to expire and to ensure a huge payday next year. He strikes me as a professional, and professionals don't mind who they work for so long as their work is to their standards and their prospects are good (salary, contract length, success etc).

His huge payday is coming regardless of leaving this year while contracted, or next year as a FA.

Who was around these parts when barrass and or ms3 posted there 1st rumours?

Did some of you try and run them out of town?

Give the tram bloke a go.

And while your at it, leave Brittany alone.

No, no, that's a radiologist's job. Mr Plow's specialty is prostate checking. Enjoy the next 50 years, Mr Plow!

 

[Captain Cripps]

Supporters crying out for good players to join us and you "hope" a good player chooses another club?

No not at all

I do - but I wasn't aware you did. Who else knows?

Gil, because I told him yesterday.

Let's all hope for his patients sake he has piano not lumberjack hands.

Gotta think Gold Coast will be very happy to take Jack Lukosius

Oh they are trading that pick for McGovern?

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

SOS says we’ll deal with any club.

So far we’ve spoken with GWS, Greater Western Sydney and the Giants.

Keep quiet on that 3rd one.

You’re in good early form.

Bought a block of Carlton lollie water today, $53.99. Less than $2 a can.

Cheap like the budgie!!

Fun times later....

 

[blue healer]

Three year deal for Setter, McG wants four.

Might as well meet the 4 for McG, he'll probably want out before it anyway.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

That would be a great screw job to the Crows, trade Pick 3 for McGovern, imply that they will let Lukosius get to Pick 3, but then they use Pick 2 to pick him up.

Wait, McGovern is definitely coming to the Blues.

 

[Soapy V]

Twice now that Barass has quoted 90N90S confirming his rumour, how about we don't drive him out, clearly getting good info.

Yep. Credit where it's due

 

[Soapy V]

Just can't get excited about landing Fasolo

 

[Metalcrusher]

Just can't get excited about landing Fasolo

Yip … you and me both ……

 

[BlueRenaissance]

If this happens, Saints wont be a threat as they will look like an exodus club or sinking ship club like GC.

Carlton arent really a destination club if we are honest but right now we arent an exodus club; and are stockpiling talent that will explode soon enough.

Not a pick 1 IMO, but seemingly this is what will happen according to many here.

 

[Sheephead]

Tram dude 90 is bogus.

...and so that makes B70 bogus too yeah!

 

[Salt Lake Cities]

Oh the melts if we lost out on Shiel to the Saints....

*I may or may not be one of them - depends on the $$$
