Doubt Elliot will play in 2012. Like this year, we hardly bloody first year players apart from Fasolo, and I see us doing the same with only Marty.
We still have a LOT of youngsters to get games into from other drafts with kids like Seedsman, Thomas, Ugle and Sinclair and Rounds etc.

We hardly blood first year players because lately our draftees havn't been very good with the exception of Fasolo. Horses for courses, if elliot/witts deserve a game they'll get one

When will the Trade be Officially be Announced?
When it's done I'm guessing. They've probably agreed to it in principle but I imagine it still has to be signed off during trade week. You never know what else might pop up.

I don't think Elliott will be as far off as others think.
Is that year older and is reasonably ready to play - if needed.

Carlton making a play for him?
(Sorry if this was already linked, and I missed it.)
Just quietly, DO NOT WANT (Marty to go to Carlton, that is).

That is not Happening
According to the article in The Age, Marty knocked back Carlton and wants to go to the Pies.
Also whoever said he couldn't tackle isn't right. He played as a tagger and a defender. If he couldn't tackle he wouldn't have played those roles. He was averaging close to 3 tackles a game when he got going. Not huge but certainly inline with a lot of established players.

Which Article?
Yeah, I read that article too, but since this one was published yesterday, I assumed that Carlton must have upped their offer or something. Have seen a few Carlton supporters discussing it, suggested Alan Richardson is really pushing to get him.
Hoping that it's just Carlton trying to troll us. And failing.

Im wondering if getting marty back had extra importance to us with the 17/18 year old Irishmen Caolen Mooney comming over who their are huge raps on. His the Tom scully of Gaelic already playing exceptionally well at 17 in their comp. Amazing speed and agility Mick said he wouldnt be suprised if he got a game in his first year. A lot of people at Collingwood got hopes this kid could be something special (great hand and foot skills too) and already trained with us a few times

"The Australian writes that Carlton could trump the Pies because they have a higher draft pick to offer the Giants and that midfielder Brock McLean, whose two years with the Blues since crossing from Melbourne have been a disappointment, could also be thrown in to sweeten the deal."
... I dont reckon this deal is over and done with, could turn into a bidding war.

What Happens if Marty does not want to go to Carlton then?
Well if Clarke goes the Blues then I guess we would just do the Elliot + Pick 60 for our 2nd Rounder to GWS?

If marty accepts being listed by GWS.. they chose to trade him to the highest bidder. Pick 60 is basically worthless for us we're likely to be using those picks on witts n stuff so it comes down to is elliot worth pick 25? i'd assume his worth a fair bit less than that (40-50?)

That what I said - IF we lost on Clarke then I say Trade the 2nd Rounder for Elliot

No we don't blood first year players because we don't need to. There is some correlation between how bad your team is and how many young players you blood/play in a year.

I am so over the Marty Clark trade talk. We put our time and effort into developing the kid under special circumstances being an international recruit etc.
He walks out on us. OK...rattle off your myriad of reasons why this happened.
Now two years later we have to give up players/picks blah blah blah or may not get him because of Carlscum outbidding us with the GWS AFL marketing exercise.
So he comes back stronger and a better player for another club after all the effort we put in.
This deal better go down the way we want it too or there will be one Irish kid on my sheeet list!

If Clarke goes to the blues, Sheedy and Demetriou are going on my HIT list...*

Don't think Carlton will bother us too much. If Clarke has already chosen our club, it's basically an unwritten rule that you let that player go. Unless Carlton decide to punt against that rule and hope to make Clarke change his opinion while at Carlton.
Being a trade, Marty has to agree to it. If he wants us and not carlton he can't be traded to them.
Throwing in Brock McLean is a negative for GWS. It doesn't sweeten it at all. He'll just soak up a heap of salary cap space. McLeans time is done in the AFL. I can't even see him playing a Daniel Harris, Suns, type role/year.
