Wasn’t Garlett picked up a few years ago for steak knives?

I'd like the club to point out that players leaving to the club of their choice after 3 years undermines the integrity of the draft system and if that's the case then we need to explore whether the draft system and the salary cap would stand up in court.

Depends what Carlton need to give for Kennedy.
Given how cursed the number is he probably does a knee first time he puts it on or leaves as. FA when his current deal is up as the best forward in the comp. of course by that time, the compensation pick no longer exists.
I say burn the bloody thing.
Yes and I wanted him at the time.
Perfect replacement for Charlie in terms of forward speed.
Galluci and co can replace the work further afield.
Did you watch the GF?
Sure add Gov and Galluci but remove Cameron...we need more speed, closing speed defensively and guys who can create something from nothing when the ball doesn't come in beautifully

It’s like being in an abusive relationship.
Just have to bight the bullet and take what comes for a better outcome long term.
We’re consistently being abused by the system so we really need to make a stand.
Just don't think he'd fit the duel position mould for AFC and yeah we have Gucc but he'll be more a Douglas replacement long term.

It's a worst possible outcome, we need to take the lever picks and spend them almost immediately. Sorry Carlton, we needed those picks for someone else.... like what Geelong did to us some time ago.
I think they were but to be honest as a supporter I don't want players with that type of character playing for my team. They are polarizing figures & can affect team harmony.
I'm all for players earning a good income but I think greed is the main factor here.

Its funny. I thought it was genuine at the time, then later I wondered if Bevo might have been being mischievous. I would assume now you were the club mentioned that pulled out and weren't too happy with the antics. Good decision by the look of it. Think drama has a long way to go yet ..
How difficult would it be to add "CLUB IN CRISIS"?

what a dog lever is. explains his pathetic efforts and contests for the club late in the year. could have given his crows gear to charity also.
Isn’t it already at the tip?
We score much more freely in an open attacking system, that creates more opportunities than in a defensive system.
We have seen that we score just as heavily when Jenkins is not in the team as when he is
Ergo he benefits not causes our high scoring
Take 2016 (Watts was injured for much of 2017, though this example still works)
Our offensive was 27.7% higher than Melbourne’s
JJ kicked 62 goals in 24 games
Watts kicked 38 in 22 games
If we extrapolate out to 24 games (42 goals) and adjust for the higher scoring rate that works out to 53 goals in our system
Does that mean Watts would have kicked 53 goals for us? No of course it doesn’t, but it does show the effects of our high scoring system and provides some context
I think it’s very unlikely JJ kicks 40 goals in a much slower less attacking system
I do think in broad terms 38 for Melbourne must be worth about 50 in our system
In 2017 he’s been injured but kicked 22 in 16 games. Take that to 24 games and adjust for scoring and we’re still over 40
I think a decent forward can absolutely kick 40 in our system, a spud like Jenkins can. I don’t think Jenkins could kick 40 for Melbourne or any of the lower scoring outfits
However in truth Watts would be a rich man’s, no an oligarchs Otten like swingman for us not a JJ replacement.
60 goals in 38 games over 2 seasons for Melbourne shows very clearly he can kick goals. Real ones.

Not going to blame Lever for leaving, if the offer is that much greater at Melbourne hard to attack him on that front. Going home is an added bonus on top of the money. Especially if our initial offer was insufficient, would have swayed his thinking.
Not happy with how he's played it though, the lies once again are so frustrating as a supporter. Don't tell us it's exclusively for family reasons, what rubbish. We know it's for money, we're not stupid. The TV interview also reeks of arrogance and self importance.
Never going to be happy about another player departing but respect can be obtained on how you depart.

A bigger deal out west.
They have and he's the poster boy of sometimes it's much better to let a player go then pay what it takes to keep him.
He got that 400k because of Melbourne's interest.

Can we please change title to include Melbourne becoming defunct and replaced in the AfL by Norwood?

Got to blood Gallucci first, and give him a season to really get accustomed to playing 24-5 AFL games, and defensive forward is a perfect position for that at the start.
Season 3 and 4 is when we look at moving him into being a midfielder.

No way the MFC will see Watts, 10 and 27 go for just the return of Lever
