Ahh FFS.... how am i meant to come up with some Gorringe puns!!

Hasn't set the world on fire- obviously unhappy at Suns after Port stooged him for P Ryder..and no one else interested...fresh start indeed.

Finally, something that rhymes with orange.

Not the most inspiring reading. Some prospect as a key defender apparently. But that was in the NEAFL

I played basketball with him back in the day, found him to be one of the most arrogant tools I've ever met.

Melbourne offered him a 3 year 500k deal 2 years ago...bet he wish he took that now.

Can't believe he didn't take that, crazy decision.

As for the arrogance, not keen on that. Though if it was just on field (court), and he was a decent bloke off it, I'd have no issue.

But will he be a lemon??

Maybe BB can squeeze some quality out of him!

Has SOS got a ruckman fetish?

I don't think so. Korchek is outside the system, so he doesn't really count.

Wood may be gone next year as he hasn't the tank to get around the ground as required.

Great news!

We do love our first round picks - almost a pre-requisite these days.

Feel like it is an extremely superficial strategy personally.

What the Sam Beck has that got to do with it?

When the **** did we recruit Sam Beck....

I still remember the day Mick mcguane ran around 26 Carlton players, had 14 bounces, did 4 cartwheels, completed his tax return, performed a double somersault with a pike and then strolled in to kick a goal from 25....

Still not as depressing than the day we recruited him...

Did he get a return ???

Bet he never mentioned the greyhounds he earned a fortune from....

Bit off topic but does anyone know how Daisy is travelling this off season? Is he ready for a big pre season and hopefully a solid 2016 or should we not get too excited

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Michael Mansfield rule FTW.

I am trying not to think about missing out on Paul Chapman thanks....

 

[Dramoth]

Back in 94 I did VicKick

He took my group one day and someone asked him what team he hated playing the most.
He said Carlton.

Should have just jumped straight into his knee

2001 was just about our worst draft ever, and thats saying something.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

Marchesani rule.

Probably Greg Wells also....

Nope, his employment with us was considered a charity case.

It was certainly a non-profit trade, so no tax payable...

Battlers like Davies, Cranage in ND but did get Waite through F/S.

Traded for McKernan, Smith, Gallagher, Eccles and Murphy again....

Yep hard to argue.

I can confirm that Daisy will be well paid....

Anything else will be a bonus !!
