Hello all, once again I've been doing some thinking (2 days in a row - this must be some kind of record for me :p)

Another far our idea that I've pondered is that we should be using Mr. Pratt to our advantage while he is with us.

Now this may be an idea that people would associate with "the old Carlton style" - something that Elliot would have implemented that would have landed us in strife had we been caught - or continued to label us as shifty and shady..... but .....

Is there any chance Mr. Pratt could set up a major VISY Sponsorship deal (probably in the sum of $3-4 Million) with West Coast, on the secret proviso that WC had to let Chris Judd walk to Carlton for a 2nd round pick ?

Im aware that if these events did take place (which probably isn't very likely) clubs would raise suspicion given that Judd, who is arguably the best player in the league, had been traded for a mere 2nd round selection. But it's done in the NBA drafting system - where clubs can trade picks and cash for certain players.

So ... if all goes to plan (and by all I mean my ' 3 Birds with 1 stone idea' seen here:http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7983437&postcount=1) :p we'd have a very successfull October/November:

# 1 - Trent Cotchin
# 2 - Masten/Grimes/Kruezer
# 20 - Chris Judd :rolleyes: (via a $3-4 million dollar VISY contract)
#36 - ????

I know these ideas are farfetched and West Coast would probably value what Judd adds to the team over $3-4 Million - that theyd probably just throw into the pile of millions they already have.

So maybe the plan might work with a side who is financially not as strong - we could use this plan to lure class players from: Kangaroos, Melbourne, Bulldogs and even Richmond to an extent.

:thumbsu:
 
Although i like your lateral thinking - i'd like the club to focus on the cultural/development/discipline areas it needs to right now. Developing our own Judd or, more importantly, a TEAM that plays for each other and for the jumper should be a priority.As tempting as quick fixes might be i'd rather build a dynasty.:thumbsu:

Is there any chance that West Coast needs $3-4M that badly? The answer: "No".

Wouldn't this sort of secret proviso be illegal?

hey ... i have to get credit from somewhere flipping !!

Ok, your idea of the Visy 'sponsorship' wasn't far off the mark.

Then again, with Pratt at the helm last year, Visy would always have been a serious component of any deal that would invovle Judd coming to Carlton...

& what of your suggestion that Kreuze may not even be a top 2 pick (and that Grimes may be)?!?! :eek:

Blasphemer!!
 
C4, please explain the details of your "Let's Get Pav" Idea.

I've started the idea, but I think it needs your finishing touches.

1. We want Pav.
2. Pav would pretty much solve world hunger from Carlton's point of view at CHF.
3. We have lots of money. I bet Pav likes money.
4. Freo suck.
5. Freo suck and have to wear purple.

I think there's something missing in my plan...

The fact that Pav's 'go home factor' is to SA, and that either SA side are a potential top 4 side with him in them.

We get Mick Brady to write a new song for them and they give us Pav simple.

Maybe Pav's "have infinity dollars factor" could get him to Carlton...? This is C4's plan, I'm just workshopping it. ;)

Is it really a "go home" factor........or is it more a "anywhere but here" factor?

Pavlich is 28, so I would suggest he'd see out his career with Fremantle.
