Also, from what I can glean from the more astute bf posters, cant Matty Cottrell fulfil the role of these candidates?Yeah no-one has grabbed the opportunity, so we may as well hold onto it.

Physically, he looks a year away from it. Not sure how much longer we'll persist if he doesn't want to get his conditioning right for football and tidy up his kicking.Can't hurt. Has the tank. Does he have aggression? Could do with someone who plays the pill on its merits.
Ex-Richmond forward Callum Moore is in the box seat to get Carlton's final list spot after two other contenders were removed from the Blues' train-on list.
Waste of a list spot
Waste of a temporary list spot
Don't get why people are so emotional about this.
Kemp is injured. Charlie is injured. We get to pick up a delisted/state league/undrafted player at pretty much no cost.
List is already full of talented youth who we need to be developing. Forward stocks are injury affected. 23yo, athletic, tall-ish forward to bolster the bottom of the depth stocks is a natural conclusion.
Allows us to retain a forward presence if Curnow and McKay are missing, Levi and Gov are playing seniors...and TDK maybe gets a look-in at senior level.
Which is true but to a point.
Every opportunity that presents has to be considered seriously and executed properly.
e.g. Last years mid-year draft.
We have the first pick in that draft and are the only club that has quit that player.....and we finished third last.
Again - given the context right now, Moore (or, subtract the name, a delisted 23yo versatile forward with a >1 goal per game average at VFL level) makes sense. More sense than another kid who will probably languish behind all the first round draftees we've been stockpiling. The VFL side needs to improve for our development program, and that doesn't happen if we keep forcing them to play 10 teenagers every week.
.....and badly.
On profile alone, Moore makes for the best fit even if only for our VFL side.
We don't need more HBF's, MOR midfielders etc.
Put if forward here earlier, I would have liked for us to have taken a chance by identifying a small forward and put him under the tutelage of Betts.
It's all too late for that now, but we may look back and find an opportunity missed.
Waste of a list spot
Or we may have already done so with Honey and Phillips?
And there's still the mid season draft ahead of us, and a better than even chance that someone on the list cops a significant injury by that stage. Could even see one of these cheeky "encouraged" retirements by mid season.
Thanks for your support.Who?, Jabba73 is a solid 4th round prospect i would have thought
Shows great speed in kicking that goal and his first goal shows he is a good mark overhead.VFL | Goals
Watch all the goals from the Northern Blues' practice match on the weekend.www.carltonfc.com.au
Have a look at Moore's second goal for why we'd want to sign him.
The 2nd goal shows what he can do - be a tall HFF with pace.Shows great speed in kicking that goal and his first goal shows he is a good mark overhead.
Also, nice tap down that resulted in Owies' goal.
The 2nd goal shows what he can do - be a tall HFF with pace.
First goal came from poor defending where his man got lost and allowed him to mark just about uncontested. He won't get that luxury in the AFL
He is not going to give us a target up forward.
