Carlton asking for more!


Number 2

Recommended Posts

I suspect some associated wrangling now as some sort of interest in Buckley and /or Bell may have come into play.

I was hoping the deal would be finalised by now. Just starting to get a bit worried.

If we have to add something to the deal, I wouldn't be averse to adding Bell in (i.e. McLean and Bell for pick 11), but according to everything the deal should go through as is.

I think some people need to take 2 steps back and a couple of deep breaths re: Icke's statement yesterday about the McLean Deal.

After this deal Melbourne have: #1, #2, #11, #18, #34, #50, #66

Carlton have the following: #27, #43, #59, #75

Carlton are just trying to score Pick #34 out of Melbourne (most likely as a swap for #43) - but it will obviously try to swap their picks #59 and #75 up to Melbourne's #50 and #66 because Melbourne won't be using these picks.

So Melbourne would use #1, #2, #11, #18, #43 and still have a pick for the PSD

Carlton would use #27, #34, #50, #59, #66.

capish?

Offer them McLean & Buckley, for Pick# 11 + Pick# 43

theyre fishing..

stuff them.. They will be getting picks or something to ice their cake with any Fev deal.

You dont make a deal then reneg..( unless of course youre scum ) Icke has said the deal in principal would still get iit done. leave it there.

Time to get the Lions interested in McLean, they need an inside player. They hold pick 12.

If Carlton reneg, that could be our next best option, accept keeping McLean ourselves.

I don't see why we would want to get rid of Buckley for pick 43? What are we going to get at this stage of the draft that will be better than holding onto Buckley? I think people are getting too carried away with draft picks.

I'd say it's taking some time because they're preoccupied with the Fev deal, which is the key factor for how the rest of their trade week goes, and which they'd want to conclude before turning their attention to anything else. The Fev deal has so many elements that it will be extremely complex, especially if they're trying to use him to wangle an early draft pick.

Thats not getting rid of Buckley for 43, he's a sweetener to the pot of 11 & 43.

I don't think we need pick 43, we've already got 5 picks before that up to 34.

The only draft advantage for us is to upgrade 34.

If there was a Buckley deal we'd want 34 + Buckley for 27

I would prefer Mclean for 11 rather than putting Buckley and 43 in the mix. I just don't think with picks 1,2,11,18 and 34 that we really need pick 43.

Lets hope they keep their word on the original Mclean deal

It might be the other way around Old55: I read that Carlton wanted to upgrade their pick, so that it might be McLean and pick 34 for pick 11 and pick 43.

Buckley and Bell effects aside thats what I was starting to ponder as well.

Be mugs to accept it of course

if we trade a player for a draft pick do we have to use that draft pick?

can this been seen as a way to add room on our list rather than delisting?

I am pretty sure you can pass on a draft pick. So the answer no we don't have to use it.

Yeah they might want that but originally we offered McLean + 34 for 11 + 27 (see Sunday Age)

So McLean for 11 is in the middle.

It sounds possible that Buckley and/or Bell is being worked into negotiations.

Until the interest in Bell/Buckley we had a workable deal...even Icke attested to that so it must be the "fine" print of added value ( ne players/picks ) both ways thats holding it up. If thats the case there will be more movement at melb..and more again as the vacuum of two players creates more opportunities.

Give them Daniel Bell for the pen in there top pocket. Been on the list for 5-6years and is nothing but a depth player. Would rather Liam Jurrahs dad to be our depth player then a Daniel Bell with no upside.

Greetings All,

Long time reader, first time poster.

I have to agree that we do not require any picks higher than 34.

With picks 1, 2, 11, 18 and 34 along with Number 1 in the PSD why would we need any more picks? How many players do you expect to be delisted/retired? My count at the moment is 4 in Robbo, Wheatley, Whelan and obviously Mclean.

Obviously if we can engineer a pick under 34 but preferably in the first round then it would be worth going for in order to have a chance at receiving a key position forward such as Temel, Panos etc.

NEWS @ DRAFT CAMP RE McLean- it was told to me that originally MFC wanted pick 11 & pick 27 for McLean & pick 34.Therefore, Carlton may not be stalling -we may still be demanding this change- however, it was strongly thought pick 11 would end up being the exchange.

I'm not of the opinion that this draft is as poor as has become fashionable for some to spruik.

This is why we disagree. I for one want to continue to churn the list. Not to throw out all who have experience, but rather keep the experienced framework, yet keep @ least 1/2 a dozen draftees per year rolling through our ranks, plus the preseason pick'ee.

I think we may get close to a 'James Craig' or someone of that ilk with a pick around 43, "better than 50". I don't think Buckley would draw a 2nd rounder after his injuries, but you never know.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
