As long as he came cheap and passed a medical i'd be interested as well.
We need to get players into the team that are good decision makers and kicks of the footy.
An injuy prone stick insect isn't what we need.

I know O'Keeffe breaks down getting out of bed, but that's the type of player we should be looking at. Aggressive players with size, grunt and skill.

I will probably get flamed but....I don't mind that trade. Selwood was B&F in a preliminary final team in 2012 and kept finding it this year. Can tag or roam free and averaged as many clearances a game as Pendles and more than Danger and Boak. Also really good on the defensive side, which we need more of.

I know there are questions over his disposal this year but he was good in 2012 and 2011...and I think we need more grunt in the midfield more than we need a mecurial but inconsistent running HF/HB.

I just can't see it happening.

Selwood is contracted until 2017 and is touted as the next captain of the Eagles.

Not a fan Cringle? How come?
I don't mind SSelwood, but giving up Yarran for him is ludicrous. We need more elite kicks and run like Yarran, and now that MM has said he'll be going through the middle more often its even more reason to keep him. I'd rather Graham to play in the 22 instead of SSelwood.

Selwood is a great footballer. Plays both ways too
Would be our first mid picked on 2013 form.

Just to forget about the Didak/Staker/Greenwood talk for a moment...adding Thomas and Selwood at the expense of Yarran and Betts would make it an off-season to remember.

Gibbs, Murphy, Selwood, Thomas has the makings of a top 9 midfield.

Have to disagree JaB.

Fev was part of the problem. Getting rid of him was a good thing and under achieving since then has nothing to do with him going.

Our biggest down fall has been the type of players we have recruited and/or the character of those players followed closely by the development of those players.

:p have decided to enjoy the Carlton 'experience' whatever it delivers B72 - just for argument's sake though how about more people just connect the dots through managing Fevola and managing the list - same people charged with responsibility. ....;)

That would give us midfield options of Judd, Murphy, Gibbs, McLean, Carrazzo, Thomas, Selwood, Curnow, Robinson, Bell, Graham, Lucas, Simpson. Pretty strong IMO.

Andrew Jarman on MMM - Scott Selwood wanting a return to Vic. Looking like it will happen for Yarran



(don't shoot the messenger folks)
I asked about this on the WC board and apparently Scooter has just moved into a new home in Perth. Would love to get him if its true though.

Selwood is actually probably in the tier of player I would trade Yarran for.
I still dont want to get rid of Yaz and orefer we look at all other options first.
I.e maybe trading Hammer/Warnock/Lucas for a pick and trading that for Selwood.

But a Selwood/Shuey/Hartlett/Hanley/Ward tier player is what I would get it done for
