LOL - no chance... is he a Blues supporter or did he insinuate any source/inside info?

Fairly certain blues supporter...

Grain of salt

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Is it the typical 'Carlton are into everyone' narrative that surfaces every year?

We're linked to 95% of 'trade targets' or FA's - swear to god.

I thought it was the other way around from what I read on here. Carlton is trading or not re-signing 95% of its list.

The only firming for Dangerfield would be in our pants, not in terms of actually getting him.

he is an absolute star and totally the wrong player for where we are at, ie year zero of the rebuild

will not happen

Agree, it would reek of the old messiah complex we're trying to get away from.

 

[SafeAsMilk]

Dangerfield? Now this is getting laughable. Just bring in Danger, Treloar, Carlisle, let Kreuz go. Liam Jones can play in the ruck.

She'll be right

Agree wont happen...

But I think the messiah complex, imo, should only apply to players we need to 'sell the farm' for....

Bringing in a FA costs nothing (unless you lose one the same year ex. Betts)

But if give up pick 2 + 20 + menzel for a messiah... then we have lost the plot...

Jones will be CHB and Carlisle will ruck.....

 

[jimsta10]

Anyone out of contract will love to associate themselves to us....just to jack up the price.....

Don't be silly, we still have Armfield for CHB.

Well, we do need to try something different from a silly season list management perspective this year...

Wow we have so much cap space on BF now. Keep Kreuzer and Yaz, lose Hendo, Judd, Warnock, Ellard and Carazzo. Plus two rookies. Get Danger(FA) Carlisle (PSD) and Treloar or Charlie Curnow (Hendo pick #8), plus Weitering (#2), Wilderman (#20 if not used on Treloar), Rice (#39), SOSOS (#57) and Lamb (#75 or rookie?) and here we come back into finals in 2016. Perfect (dream). But what happened to the rebuild?

Simmo, Jamo, Weitering
Byrne, Carlisle, Doc
Kreuzer, Cripps, Treloar
Murphy, Gibbs, Danger
Walker, KJ, Everitt
Yaz, Cas, Menz

Bell, Graham, Curnow, Buckley (Thomas? Wood? White? Rowe?)

No way we're in the race for Dangerfield. SOS is already not keen on Treloar for the money, why Danger then? Just stop even considering it, Geelong clearly have him unless the Hawks do a crazy deal for him.

The way Trigg was speaking on SEN about Treloar looks like we've put forward as much as SOS is willing to do and hoping he comes to us for the chance to wear Navy Blue. Could also find the extra money needed if Carlisle decides to go to North or Freo.

I don't get where all the left over cap space is going to go after losing so many players on good money. I know if you don't make up the 93% or whatever it is, it's split over your current list but no way do our guys deserve a pay rise. I'd rather throw it all away on two players tbh.

Hopefully we're banking it for a few years until our rebuild is finished.

Yeah, but you missed the point of not being able to pay the minimum cap this year.

Assume we front load a few of the bigger contracts. May also be paying out Jones

No way we are getting Dangerfield! He wants to get to Geelong.

 

[slashin_velvet]

I would have through players have to agree to frontloading a contract and any contract variations. It can impact their personal position with regard to taxes etc.

I don't agree with that decision if that is the case. All of a sudden we're only offering conservative contracts when blokes like Kreuzer are Free Agents and thinking of leaving.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

I'd suggest an email to the club that we are not just looking for players that want to be at Carlton, we also won't be bent over a barrel for average picks in an average draft because a contracted player wants his new intended club to get a better deal for him. If a player wants to leave, he does his best for us or we do not facilitate an easy trade just to offload their attitude.

We might be rebuilding, we might need draft picks, but we also need respect and bending over in trade deals is not the way forward. I would rather make Yarran wait and lose him for nothing than we held to ransom by vultures.

 

[Dominator_7]

Nobody is seriously suggesting Dangerfield.
Someone made a joke, and then all this.

 

[ESKIE]

Incredible how every out of contract gun is linked to Collingwood..

I'm not talking about getting Dangerfield specifically. More wanting to pay for a couple of quality youngsters to come to the club. 138 points is going to look like nothing if we're throwing 1st year players into the deep end every week, even if they are top 20 picks.

 

[PuffDragon89]

McGuire on Tuesday wasn't much chop, imo...Sheahan was very good.

Still better than Slobbo though
