Yeh, it's a good, solid, positive off-season. Thomas and Docherty's footskills marks a definite directional shift, you'd think. Everitt I'm pretty lukewarm on. Not sure what his role may be. Third club by 24 is not great signs. But hey, if we're not coughing up much, let's see what the club has in mind for him. He was a first rounder (there must be something there) and he's got really good size.
ATM Everitt is playing the best footy of his career to date. Sydney have a habit of doing that to players with potential. His value is still low due to the number of games he has played and the reason he got a game... however he more than fulfilled his role and the fact that Sydney want to keep him is an indication that he does add to the team.

If we can pick up a player where other clubs had to wait whilst he is growing up and we pick him up on the cheap where he is cherry ripe, I will be happy

We fought hard to not give up the #32, it wouldn't make sense for us to just hand it over too readily now.........unless an absolute bargain became available.
Everitt is not that bargain though.

Just to remind people though that Salary Cap issues don't only pertain to this year.
There are some posters around the place suggesting that we're all topped up because of player a or player b, but we do have to remember that we do need to keep an eye on 2014 + 2015 also.
There are plenty of players that will be wanting more money next year and even if Judd does retire a lot of extra money will be needed for us to retain all those out of contract.

As is the predictable pattern of these things I'm warming to Everitt. He's had a deceptively solid year and whilst we knew he was mobile he's plenty quick too. Don't like the idea of playing him forward though...looks a natural off the HBF

A lot of mock disgust at the idea if trading him for Lucas on the Sydney board.

So how are the doomsayers going to turn this around with Thomas, Docherty and Everitt wanting to come to Carlton..........but no-one wants to come to us. :rolleyes:
I'm sure there's a way but I just can't think of one.

I really hope that Laidler can remain in the game. Can't believe that he's fallen off the radar so much.
No players that are genuine KP want to play for us...

Even if gws start to lose players, they will get good draft picks for them. They are certainties to win a flag in the next 5 years.
well they have so many top thirty picks in their squad that they can afford to lose a few unlike other teams in the AFL

and what is scary is when they lose one of them, they are able to get another top draft pick in return to top the list up again

Sweeping mid?!

A midfielder that hangs back off the contest and sets up the play? hmmmmmmmm
Freeman would be a good fit if he gets through.

Hartung and Acres might fit this description. Would love a taller mid like Acres. I can see the need for a gutrunner and rover like Hartung after getting Thomas and Docherty. Endurance will be important with the interchange cap and sub rule.

We have muscle in Bell, Robinson, Curnow, Cachia and Graham. Might get another grunt with 32.

Getting Everitt would complete an excellent trade period for us. Mick may have designs on turning him into a key defender (given his size and athleticism) to release Henderson as the key forward.
Reckon we'd have Everitt earmarked for the Westhoff type forward role. Roam around half forward and sometimes higher to use the height and athleticism to his advantage. Drift further forward if he gets a smaller opponent mismatch.

I know a guy who's family are heavily involved with the doggies. He got to sit in the box a couple of times.

He told me once (a couple of years ago) that about halfway through everitts first game rocket took his headset off, smashed it on the ground and said "it's official! We have just drafted the biggest ******* to ever play AF!!!.."

What are your thoughts on Dunstan RK? And where do you think he'll go?

Still can't see where we're going to get a KPP from in this period. Not sure McCarthy is the right way to go - appears a 3-4 year proposition but does have potential. Hourigan at 32 should be our go. Midfielder (Freeman/Salem/Crouch) at 13 and needs basis (ruck, inside mid slider, KPD) at 51/69/rookie draft.

Reckon Malthouse may have done exactly that at least a half a dozen times this year alone..................No names to be mentioned.

Guess Sugar doesn't fit the Bloods legacy as the son of a former South Melbourne player. o_O

Staker to sign with Lions
In a disastrous Trade Period for the Brisbane Lions, there is finally some good news. Brent Staker is on the verge of signing a new two-year deal with the club, according to News Limited. Staker was talking to Carlton about a move to Melbourne but the Blues are said to have only offered him a one-year contract.
So glad to see we aren't offering 29/30 year olds 2 or 3 year contracts.

So, no Staker, no Podsiadly, no Didak, no Chapman, no Dal Santo, no worries.
