We all know Port Adelaide want to trade for the first or second pick to try and get gibbs.....

Ill float the idea of trading pick number 2 to Port Adelaide for their Pick 5 and Salopek....
 
Gentlemen- I have done a flip. I believe Lachlan Hansen will be our pick if Carlton take Gibbs. He has been superb over the past fortnight and I am prepared to rate him above Gumby. As a side issue, a few recruiters i know and spoke to believe carlton will take hansen pick 1 because of his great finals series and the amount of 'attention' gibbs will receive from crows and power.

We pretty much did the same thing for the number one pick and got shot down. Salopek would be an absolute bargain at that price though- either the Dons or the Blues would be over the moon with that one.
 
I heared that Gibbs is a ball magnet and a Stanton type player runs all day. If we dont get him and wanted a midfielder as our 1st pick what really quick midfielders are looking to be drafted in the top 10?

none that substantially are better then the kpp, theres selwood but he did his knee and i think the other hope is jetta, your best off looking in drafts and trading thread which has a list of the players ratings and capabilities.

Would be better IMO to trade up or down to the bottom half of the top 10, Selwood looks like a good pick, could go quite high depending on needs
 
i think that essendon needs hansen, he would fill one of the hardest positions on the ground

But probably not next year from what i have seen of him, which is limited.

GET THORNTON

i agree with that because last year selwood was going to be a top three pick until he did his knee and we could also get a handy player trading down

I think they way sheedy romantices about players, he would very much be looking at hansen and Thorp after goodes won last nights brownlow medal. This is loosely based on the facts supplied by macca on footydraft thread in drafts and trading.

I think most agree he will stay.

But whatt i want our club to do is put so much pressure on him by making him an extremely attratctive offer.
I want this to be the toughest decision of his life.

Carlton is not the happiest place to be around atm and with the uncertainty at board level, and the supposed dislike of pagen, now is the time.
If he chooses to stay we have made them pay a lot more for him, which may then leave them out of another player later.

If he chooses to leave, we can get him in PSD or trade on our terms and pick another in PSD.

Offer him 4 years imo.

GET THORNTON ( It's my new catch cry, to those that hadn't noticed ) :D

yeah i agree but i also wouldn't mind polak lets just see what eventuates. Last few years we havn't been the favourite club to trade with and it seems that we can't lure the attractive players ala akermanis. I think after the mercuri incident it would be hard for our club to offer a 4 year contract, it may insult players like lucas too? but we do need the kpp backmen, but i think thorp, hansen and gumbleton could do this role. Apart from gibbs i dont think a midfielder is worthy of the 2nd pick unless we have hidden a player ourselves throughout the whole year.

Because he is a victorian and he has the potential under an injury free season to have an impact with our team. He has a big mature body and knowshow to get the ball he could be like riccuito, i doubt port will let him go and his name is involved in trade rumours every year.

So that he can do a Jade Rawlings? I dont think in this day and age you offer anyone a 4 year deal. But point taken, put pressure on the man.

I understand your point, but there is a massive difference from his situation to that of Rawlings.

If we offer him 3 Carlton will only match it and he will stay.
Offer him 4, he MIGHT be ours

GET THORNTON
 
Knowing Sheedy, he will trade pick 2 for pick 7 and James Kelly and then he'll pick up Albert Proud. Sheed's loves his indigenous kids.
