Caught up with an old friend last night whom I hadn't seen in a while, who has reliable sources inside the club, he told some interesting things
1 - The club had always planned to trade Menzel by around the halfway mark of last season (laziness the main reason apparently)
2 - Some very interesting stuff about Charlie Curnow that I can't repeat here. But many seem to think he'll be the best player from that draft, and the club had been keen on him for a long time.
3 - Clem Smith could be a surprise packet this season, and could replace Yarran'a spot from the half-back flank
4 - (and this will annoy some people) We definitely ARE NOT interested in trading/acquiring Jag O'Meara, not only has he had 2 serious knee ops, he wants too much money and apparently there is
someone else from The Suns we're very keen on (and who wants to join Carlton)
Lastly, the rumour of Eddie staying if he only got an extra 50 K per season seems true
