On the couch. Roos believes we should be able to add 4 or 5 mature players on top of our list that were overlooked in drafts and have a crack at developing them.
Sounds very much like what the AFL allowed the Dopers to do when their players were suspended. A nice little reward for cheating (along with their subsequent #1 draft pick).
 
Why are people knocking Healy?

We elected to go down the full rebuild path, we decided to trade out players that we thought wouldn’t get us to our next flag, we traded a contracted Gibbs, it was the right move but most of it was done by choice. he has a very good point. Which is why I’ll be very happy with a PP of any description.

Bottom line is 4 years of shit results = PP.

Arguably all poor clubs' situations were brought on by their own decisions.
Choices they made on appointing certain people for key roles including coach, decisions on culture, list management decisions etc...

I'd say the only valid argument that is not on the club is the go-home factor for clubs such as Brisbane etc. Seems to be an increasingly bigger issue these days especially with the advent of free agency

Absoflippinlutely, to make any distinction would be partisan.

Not the worst idea, Geelong has been great at this over the years. Taylor, Kelly, Menegola, Stewart and Blicavs have been handy gets.

Its a strategy that works best when you have good team. Tim Kelly would not have the season he has if he played with us or GCS this year.

The only benefit I guess is that if the bottom sides have those players they don't go to one of the top sides.

Its a handy additional benefit but it shouldn't be that or top end PP's
 
With our record over the last 4 years we have to be a lock for at least pick 19. Guaranteed.
Our record this century is what should get us pick #2.

5 spoons! I think we have only played a handful of finals games in 18 years.

Dogs whinging when they won a flag two years ago.
Brisbane have won 3 flags this Century.
STK have played in Grand Finals.
Freo have played a Grand Final.

We really deserve a very early pick IMHO and three picks #3 to #5 would also help GCS out of their issues, and MAYBE keep them viable. They are dying now and really also need help fast.
 
It's not breaking news, but Matthew Lloyd continues to have zero clue about anything Carlton related.

Speaks about 'stagnating Blues'

The list is SPS, Harry(???), Jack, Matt Kennedy and Weiters.

Weiters the only one who would even go close to being stagnating.

Idiot.

Dead set, those 3 have no idea. Stated that there are some players under pressure to perform next year, all of which are older stop gaps......FMD

Might save that one just to play it back to them

Yet he said last night that if Essendon add Shiel they are a top 4 side. FFS Shiel must be a lot better than I thought. He can lift a side 7 places on his own.
Get him, we will be knocking on the door to finals even if no-one else improves.
 
As soon as I heard Twomey mention Fisher playing at HB, it was then I knew not to take any of them seriously. They know bugger all, and are there just to get paid.

Also said Casboult would have no value. Bull****! Whether or not he's getting a game, a player with a role such as his will always maintain some value. Probably a third or fourth round pick though. And a team such as Gold Coast could do with him for a year or two. I'd happily take whatever trade we can. Need to pluck gems from the third and fourth rounds more often anyway.
