I mentioned in another thread: From 07-09 there were about a dozen guns in the 1st round, half a dozen in the 2nd, & only a few after that.

So there was an equal chance of getting a gun with one 1st rounder as with two 2nd rounders (also with a miniscule chance of getting two guns).
I'd say you're a higher chance to completely stuff up with the two 2nd rounder though.
fair call. If we do something like this we need to be absolutely certain that Rogers is on the ball.

Only a possibility if we relocate to Queensland....
The boy is from Lara, so it is clearly only $ that is making him want to go to Qld.. he has said he has 'issues' that means he needs to leave Geelong, not Victoria. Plenty of players in the past have stated a desire to move to a club/town yet back flipped and signed with other clubs.

Trade would involve Carlton relocating to QLD .....................


What I suggested yesterday was

Trade 1.
GCS Christensen
Geelong. #15

(Think that is realistic for Christensen)

Trade 2.
Geelong. #7
Carlton. #14 plus #15

(Geelong gets a x7 spot upgrade on their 1st rd selection for #15)

Trade 3.
GWS. #15
Carlton. Jaksch + #40 (just received from Hawthorn)

GWS get a pick pretty close to Jaksch's value and gives up a pick they won't use


So Carlton take into the draft #14, #28, #40 and #45
We lose in this deal IMO

Would probably do that coryne

The only question I have is:

Are you sure Jaksh is worth a 7 place downgrade on our first?

I see very little difference between:

Jaksh, 14, 28, 40
Jaksh. 19,21, and Whiley

In fact I think I'd rather the latter.
I don't think we would get Jaksch, Whiley, #19 and #21. Could get as low as Jaksch & #19 by some accounts.

Seems like the Garlett deal has gone quite.

Lots of clubs want Dees second rounder, and they only have one. Like the idea of an upgrade on our second rounder and a swap but not sure who we need.

If we are holding out for fair value, we may have to wait for the Clark and Lumumba trades to be done.

1.20 pm on the Thursday of "Week 1" of the trade period.

iirc Trade Week finished about 2 pm Thursday this year, so there is basically 1 week to go

EVERYONE seems to be waiting for trades to be finialized before acting (you would think that the Clark and Lumumba trades would be some of the first to go through)



Conclusion. Grow some brains AFL and do back to a single week for trading. 1 week for FA, 1 week for Trades, anything more is just a waste of time.

I found I scocial media rumour (I don't believe it's true but here it is what it says)


News coming in that josh Kennedy is unhappy being in Sydney with some players in the coming season may have to take a pay cut to fit into Sydney's salary cap.

Could we see the big time midfielder move home to Vitoria? Kennedy manger said that he has spoken with a few melbounre clubs about a possible move.

Melbounre hawthorn and CARLTON have all spoken with his manager about a possible trade.

I don't think it's true but it is a good discussion

When you come out and state that you want to be traded to a Qld based club you will more then likely end up there.

I believe he has a relative on the GC playing list and would also have a connection with Ablett and Bomber Thompson who may end up coaching there as well.
