24/10/2025 - *Elijah Hollands & Will White considered for train-on opportunities during the pre-season

 

[mediumsizered]

So another 4-5 weeks msr.

Prudent I guess, but that won't stop the rumours in the meantime then.

With Trade Week being only 1 1/2 weeks away, the rumours should really start ramping up next week.

 

[son of dominator]

does anyone know when the father/son bidding system takes place. It would have to be before the trade period as we would need to know what picks we have to trade with

 

[Claypigeon]

Its held the Monday of Trade week, before trading starts. .. Are they doing an extended trade week this year for GWS though?

 

[Aphrodite]

Its held the Monday of Trade week, before trading starts. .. Are they doing an extended trade week this year for GWS though?

Yes Clay.

From October 10 - 17.

 

[Stamos]

Its held the Monday of Trade week, before trading starts. .. Are they doing an extended trade week this year for GWS though?

Yeah, Monday to Monday this year instead of Monday to Friday.

Father-son bidding is done first thing, I'm pretty sure.

 

[Wickzki]

Should start hearing major trade whispers from next Tuesday on. Draft combine next Tuesday through Friday.

 

[TOPBLUE_25]

If say collingwood bid their first pick we have to use our second because they are after us correct.?

if so the only teams that can out bid us in terms of us having to use our first pick are Ess, Rich, Saints, Nrth, W.B, Adel, Freo, Bris Port, G.C?

Cant see it happening really and (i know we wouldnt) but you would really have to call their bluff in a lot of ways because none of them would really use that pick on Dylan.

TB - as I understand it, you are right. If a rival club makes a bid, we use our next available pick. So we don't have to worry about the teams above us. If any of them were to bid a first round pick, we can still use our second round pick.

As for bluffing, if a rival team bids, and we don't take up our 'right to match', then that rival club MUST use that pick on Dylan.

ps - sorry if this is in the wrong post, but I think we are mostly off topic here...

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Just heard that Bret Thornton has re-signed. Missed the terms.

His manager is on TWR at the moment and confirmed it.

Just saw it on Twitter ODN & it is for 1yr.

 

[Aphrodite]

Confirmed for 1yr ..............


Carlton retains Thornton

BRET Thornton has been rewarded for his improved form at Carlton with a new one-year contract

Carlton retains Thornton

 

[ferrisb]

Thought last year that Thornton had nothing left to offer the Blues. So glad to have been proven wrong.

Obviously not the final solution to KPF issues, but has shown more than enough this year to justify his spot. Great turnaround by Bret, and another positioning masterstroke by the Blues this year!

 

[TrueBlue05]

good news, will play a big part in our forward structure in 2012!

 

[Dramoth]

I think that the club is only offering him a 1 year contract because they only see him as a depth player going forward.

But good to see him still around... I thought after last year, he was gone for sure but has managed to turn it around, get rid of the petulance towards his team mates from his game and has really stepped back up to the plate.

 

[The_Wookie]

I still get the feeling that he's the go to guy, until we get everyone else fit and firing. He makes for a decent third tall when required, but i suspect we'll see less of that this year.

 

[I LOVE THE CFC]

How can Waite still be unsigned... Something fishy!

 

[Marc Shmurf 3]

How can Waite still be unsigned... Something fishy!

Dont stress. Should be sorted out in a couple of weeks

 

[I LOVE THE CFC]

Love your work.

 

[Dale Gribble]

How can Waite still be unsigned... Something fishy!

Salary Cap, probably waiting on Bower and Ohailipin so they can give him the remaining extra $. They probably got enough of Houlihan pay he was getting to share with Thornton, Waite and Bower. The Thornton offer was probably very good to the club on his part.

 

[crane6]

How can Waite still be unsigned... Something fishy!

Waite's groin is worse than first thought will have to manage it for rest of his footy career wouldn't give him more than 2 year's

 

[I LOVE THE CFC]

Salary cap... One minute we have plenty of room and the next minute we're full!

Well what about Lucas?

 

[mike ockerts]

Waite's groin is worse than first thought will have to manage it for rest of his footy career wouldn't give him more than 2 year's

Source please?

 

[crane6]

our salary cap is very tight

 

[laminex]

our salary cap is very tight

No it is not, in fact with the new jump in cap space we have a fair amount of room.

 

[Dale Gribble]

Salary cap... One minute we have plenty of room and the next minute we're full!

Well what about Lucas?

I really doubt any of the top 6 sides have much in the cap remaining. You just have to look at St Kilda situation. We forget several players would be on at least $400 000 a season if Mclean on that. The good thing we signed most of the important players for the next few years. Heath Scotland and Brock Mclean pay packet should keep us Kreuzer and Gibbs. We just need to be careful as others like Robinson, Russell, Yarran, Laidler and Warnock will demand increases. I think Thornton manger came with a very fair offer. I think the club is waiting on Waite deal as it's the most difficult. I think they just making sure they have the cap for the next few years for player increases.
