i read an article in Inside Footy on Carltons mistake in throwing big money at Robbie Warnock, who has been overtaked by Sam Jacobs as second ruck and is languising in the reserves

Good to see the blues make mistakes with drafting, and thanks for Gyberts as well :P

It's not a big mistake, only $1.6 million over 4 years.

We would have made the same mistake, except he probably would be getting a game for us.

I wouldn't completely give up on him yet, although the fact he is getting paid a similar amount to what Gary Ablett has over the last few years is embarrassing for him.

Colossal mistake would be closer to the mark. 4 years they have to blow cash on a kid who's not up to it. Disaster.

I'm still not sure if that is funnier or if Collingwood having 3 first round picks as ruckmen is.

Hmmm. I'm calling it a draw at the moment.

On progress to date its been a poor investment and they have got little.

I am glad MFC did not get him on that basis. Not happy to give long contracts to unproven players.

We were after him as well, he could have been on our list right now...

But not at that price and length of contract.

This might be a bullet missed by MFC.

We seemed to have done well in the past few years in different situations

1. Warnock

2. Prismall

3. McLean

4. TJ

You missed 2008 PSD

I think he meant in list management terms not drafting terms. In that light, 2008 PSD was just a very fortunate consequence, but wasn't really the core outcome. Edit: or maybe not :)

On a side note, how much has Barry Prendergast been KotD since being in the job? Watts, not having to make the choice between Scully and Trengove, having Liam Jurrah fall in to his lap... Lucky bloke.

BP still gets a big tick for late picks like McKenzie, Bennell & Jetta, who have all been very handy at times and will continue to be going forward.

Of course, we have been in the 'fortunate' position of being able to play and develop these kids from day dot.

In the end recruiters like BP always have and always will be judged based on their choices that turn out to be failures.

So far he has had none Jury is out on Blease & Strauss for a start.

(I know Blease has been a lot of bad luck, but over time that has mattered little in regards to the Molan selection).

In any case he has made no glaring mistakes, even if that is too hard to judge yet.

Rohan Bail has looked okay to date.

Thing is, we really don't have a second ruck, so he would slot nicely into our 22...well, not nicely, it means taking somebody out of the team, which is hard enough already

Knew I was forgetting one.

You forgot another two who were picked up by Carltank ---

Mrs Judd (not sure whether she was first round draft pick or PSD??) :) and

Her son Chris - Not a bad player but looking like MFC better off not getting him as would have had to give up at least a couple of our young guns.

I think he will turn out ok for them! They have deffinetly paid over the odds but they did that on reletavily untried talent, i would really like too have him in our team right now (no wear near the price carlton payed) as Johnson and Meeson are not playing and have struggled, Spencer is a long way off and Gawn is a long term (very exciting) prospect. Warnock would most likely get a game with us, he is missing out at carlton because the other Ruckman are playing well!

Robbie will be a fine ruckman. I would chase him. Cut his wage bill by a quarter, a second round draft pick or/and someone like Addam Maric, maybe a Strauss to get the deal down.

Would take him for a second rounder

Need a ruckman and both clubs rated him highly and he would allow Jamar to push forward.

Both clubs rating him highly means he has to be at least ok, just needs a couple of full seasons and no injuries.

Think the talent is there.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
