If the Prestia thing is real we would be looking at giving up a top 10 draft pick.

Trade our first round pick to GWS for their 2 first round picks plus some of our lower picks... if the Geebungs drop further down the ladder, then their 2016 pick we traded to them could be a mid top 10 draft pick... and would be ideal to be traded for Prestia

As long as it isn't our first pick, I'd be fine with that. Super quality player with his whole career ahead of him, filling a desperate need for our club. The trick would be procuring a pick between 6-10 or thereabouts without compromising the rest of the draft picks or team through trade.

Reading a few pages back suggestions that Dylan Buckley be packaged up in a trade.

When you are trying to build a strong culture, you don't trade out your heart & soul players.

Not dismissing Malthouse's responsibility for decisions like recruiting Thomas, but for the sake of 50k, you'd think a guy would keep playing for the club that has set him up for life.

You don't treat a one club player who was a genuine leader on field and mentor off field - the way Malthouse was allowed to treat with Eddie and his apprentices...it was the beginning of the end of a few players when they saw the difference between the way D.Thomas was 'treated' and how they were being treated...

It wasn't about 50K it was about the fact that there was a discussion about 50K - a Carlton 'carrying' quite a few ridiculous over payment contracts- for years - not limited to D.Thomas...anyway..Adelaide's gain and our shoulda been a one Club player loss.

I'm assuming the Geebungs are Geelong. They'll be top 4 in 2016.

Agreed.
Bucks is part of the future, and I would not be trading him at all.

Like losing Eddie he was the heart of the forward line and when he left the guys up there had no spark at all.

Bucks will be a beauty when he matures and takes more time to think about his next move. One thing to run nuts off the backline but if he's getting caught or turning it over he is wasting his talents. Less frantic, more getting the ball away efficiently and accurately upfield.

 

[Chalky Blues]

^^ Exactly Thy I'm hoping he works on these things and he'll be a beauty, he plays with heart and tries his butt off just gotta stop the turnovers and everyone will have him in their starting 22

He's better than a hbf, good enough to go through the middle now.

Footysmarts, he's got it in spades and that's what we lack going inside 50.

 

[thylacine60]

I don't think he's better than a HBF yet. Cue ferris HBF gag.......

 

[Stig O'Hara]

He's one of those fellas that can get the pill, and hit flat knacker in nothing flat.

Hoping him and Boekhurst are going to be those guys that can burst through 50 and slot them at full tilt.................ala Campo/Bradley.

He just gets nervous when he knows I'm watching.

Stop avoiding the bed linen filter please.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

He's done his apprenticeship down back.......hell, every bloke he plays on is physically bigger than him.

Will never be a muscle bound fella, but has now learnt how to use his body.

Let the boy loose in the middle.

Buckley turns it over less than Docherty. #StandByDylBucks

[Chalky Blues]

Who would do the couch interviews then anyway??

Doc is doing fine as the general down back.

What we are screaming out for is run through the middle, and granted we drafted only 223cms or thereabouts...........it's time for Dylan to go into the guts.

Krooz, Cripps, MM, Dyl Bucks.............like the sound of that.

.....and I sure as heck aint going through Krooz, to Murph, to Gibbs......who bombs it across his body and hopes for the best.
