Full Q&A: Every trade deal summed up, plus what's to come

Head of List Management Nick Austin sums up Carlton's 2025 trade period.

www.carltonfc.com.au

“The jumper number committee will get together and get to work at some stage to see what’s available and who wants want! There’s some good numbers up for grabs so we’ll see where it all lands, it’s an exciting time for all the new boys including the draftees when they come in - then we’ll see where it all sits.”

[Coona Blues]

This will not be easy.

Clearly #1 will not be used.

Unless Billy Wilson is absolutely wedded to #35, it surely goes to Harry Dean who has reportedly worn it extensively in his junior career. (Suggest #15 and #30 may be available for Billy having some history with our departed)

Huge chance #11 and #20 get added, likely #38 and #45 as well as things sit. Might wait for an offering.

 

[Numero 31]

Keep #31 free for Bayley Fritsch

in 2027 (will be a free agent at the end of next year).

 

[bradfisher14]

I have a feeling some more will become available soon. Too early to call atm.

I do like the idea of Hayward and Florent taking 14 and 15 respectively.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Ainsworth and Hayward both wore 9, so I wonder if one takes 19, particularly given the Eddie Betts small forward connection.

 

[slashin_velvet]

If Florent and Hayward are tight with Hewett, give them 30 & 31

 

[Crippa#9]

1. Cody Walker
12. Ben Ainsworth
14. Will Hayward
15. Oliver Florent
19. Campbell Chesser
31. Liam Reidy

Harry Dean will get 15 nothing surer.
He's worn this number all year for the Murray Bushrangers and the player he admires most? Sam Docherty.

 

[Revenant1995]

Looks like we have a few numbers to fill.

1, 12, 14, 15, 20, 25, 30, 31, 38 & 39.

Number 1 put on hold for a year to hand over to Cody.

Seeing how Hayward and Florent are such close mates, it would be good to get them lockers close to each other. Either 14 & 15, 30 & 31 or 38 & 39.

Who gets the rest????

 

[Big Delut]

Harry Dean will get 15 nothing surer.
He's worn this number all year for the Murray Bushrangers and the player he admires most? Sam Docherty.

He has mentioned that he wants to wear his Dad's #35 and it wouldn't be surprising if Wilson wants to shift to a lower number anyway.

 

[Revenant1995]

View attachment 2468831

Thanks for this. I wondered which way Harry would go - see if he could have 35, or make another number his own. Personally, I reckon it would be great to see another 'Dean' in this number, but as is often said, the number on the back is not as important as the monogram on the front...

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

He has mentioned that he wants to wear his Dad's #35 and it wouldn't be surprising if Wilson wants to shift to a lower number anyway.

View attachment 2468831

Billy to wear #15 and Harry to wear his Dad’s old number.

 

[marcmurphy3]

Billy was close with Charlie. I wonder if he takes 30. Also a chance Dean is happy with 15 since Doc was his favourite player. Has worn it in juniors.

Florent in 14 makes sense. +1 on his old number 13.

Hayward and Ainsworth could be 19 and/or 25. The carlton forward connection (Betts, Fev, Jezza), plus both Hayward and Ainsworth wore 9, so 19 is just adding a 1.

Could also see Hayward in 15 so locker beside Florent.

 

[Ninja Worrier]

12 - Ainsworth
14 - Florent
15 - Hayward
19 - Chesser
20 - Ison
25 - Willson
31 - Reidy
35 - Dean

 

[bradfisher14]

This is what I'd like to see, but it's probably unlikely:

1 - left vacant for Cody Walker
12 - Harry O'Farrell
14 - Liam Reidy
15 - Billy Wilson
19 - Lachie Dovaston
20 - Ben Ainsworth

[Bearded Carpenter]

It’s nice sentiment to wear your old man’s number but I want Cody to make another number special.

Or let the boy earn it. Would love to see it put on ice for a few years, not to be mistaken in retiring it, just shelve it until he is ready or someone else steps up and warrants it.

It’s just a number but it holds some weight historically.

Have we ever had a past number 1 leave the club??

Over complicating it. We dont do that with other important numbers. Why no.1?

Unnecessary to do that to Cody. Depriving him of his dads available number wont get him to work harder.

 

[Shambolic]

9 100 game players:

https://blueseum.org/Guernsey+1

Pretty sure fmor memory no one left to play elsewhere but will need to check.

 

[Forever Navy]

For what it’s worth in the video with Will and Ollie posted in their new gear (everyone looks better in navy blue), Will was in 17 and Ollie in 22

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

Do we ask if he wants it?

 

[marcmurphy3]

Do we ask if he wants it?

Hes worn it alot as a junior. Obviously he doesnt have to take it. Up to him.

Go and get your new raised logo jumpers peeps. On sale now. !!

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Liam Reidy was running around in #12 yesterday if that means anything.

 

[Coona Blues]

Could be something to it, or could be TDK’s old kit is big enough to fit…
