I'll take the two firsts .....but this is like White (tippettgate) & Sydney .....why take a player we don't want?.....for what purpose

If it forces Grigg out .....are we happy with that repercussion ?
If we take him, the club see opportunity in him

The club showed a year or two back when we were chasing the GWS lad a year that we were not prepared to unlike Essendon take the steak knives in the deal

Danger gone, S Thompson only a year to go (if he even gets thru that). I like Lyons but he's no guarantee. Ditto Grigg, CEY. We laugh at our inside mid riches but we need to be careful.

I actually reckon Gore could surprise us. If we need the extra list spot to keep Grigg then I'd trade away Mackay and pay a (small) part of his contract!

Of course if we got him then ALL other trades/draft picks should meet other needs.

Looked on the on one of the Carlton boards and they claim Anderson has sellected them due to the Bolton connection.
Any truth or just wishful thinking on their part
Its an obvious connection however Carlton a chasing a few players at present

My guess would be wishful thinking at this stage

I wonder if they know that Jed has family in Adelaide

I would have imagined Carlton have no means of getting him if SOS is planning on importing a quarter of GWS this trade period.

If this turns out to be true we can see the importance of the senior coach in recruiting.

Hopefully Pyke builds a strong reputation in 2016.

I was a big fan when he was playing for Sturt and in the U18 champs. He looked fairly quick, had good kicking skills and made good choices when he had the ball.

At the AFL combine he won the Goalkicking test, equal 3rd in the Kicking test and equal 5th in the Standing Vertical test.

He is no PD but he isn't a spud and I would welcome him at the Crows.
Thankyou for the info

Also looks a good build who could handle playing against bigger bodies?

I for one am not against Gore BUT only as steak knives…as in 2 1sts and Gore!

Or 9, Cocky/Motlop and Gore.

I know, I'm dreaming.
Crisp was described as "Steak Knives" 12 months ago in the Beams deal

That turned out ok for Collingwood
