He's on the move ... Grigg requests a Trade.

I personally think our recruiting staff have identified a skillful half back flanker as a target of ours at the draft (along with a tall forward), and here's a talented 22 yr old who could come in and be a great contributor from round 1 next year.

What would people give up for him?

IMO, He's probably worth a pick between 16-22, considering his age, talent and the fact he was originally drafted at pick 18 (I believe). Pick 12 too much, pick 32 not enough ... what can we give to get him? Do we even want him?

TBH, I laughed when I first read it, don't really notice him when Carlton play at all.

Might have to do some research on him.

Wow just read he's 190 cms.

Straight swap for Warnock?

Pick 32 about right, if we actually would want him.

Not sure what the (FD) think but hes not the worst player on the trade table.

He suits our youth policy and shows a bit of hardness.

Apparently richmond have offered him a pretty big contract

Whats with players walking out on brisbane and carlton it seems to be the coaches

maybe pick 32 will get the deal done,if not straight swap for warnock!

This is out of the Blue, & hot on the heels of the Tarrant offers. It makes me wonder If there's a connection???

I'm not saying anything. But the question arose in my mind that this guy, who seemed to play some good footy, has all of a sudden, wants out.

What I think it's safe to say, is that 3 or 4 teams are into Chris Tarrant in a big way, & most likely throwing Big money his way.

Their all trying to get a leg up over one another, or in Collinwoods case, trying to stop the likes of Carlton & Hawthorn from bridging the gap on them, StKilda to.

Now we see one of Carltons defenders wanting out. It just feels connected to me. I've seen this boy play some good footy. But I've not watched him closely.

Does anyone have any opinions on him. Is he any good?

Shivers at this rate will Carlton have any players left when it comes to the end of trade week?

I can assure you it has nothing to do with anything other than their FD. Grigg was offered a reasonable contract by Carlton, but refused to be one of the highest paid reserves players.

I can assure you this is 100% correct. Not going to reveal source, but believe me, it's correct.

He is a good player, don't think it's a straight swap for Warnock - think we are on the bad end of that slightly. Carlton have a history of giving us good picks, so if they want MW, and we want SG, I'd be asking for a 3rd rounder to go with it.

Isn't it great.

Hehehe ... one part of me says its great, another says WTF is happening down there.

I value Warnock over Grigg, no doubt, & I don't see Grigg as a Key posi player, but another 3rd tall type. But maybe he's a better option than McNamara.

But I don't even know how he kicks.

Did I hear somwhere that Kernagan has left his post?

In no way is hie a KPP at all. I think we have the 3rd tall defender role covered with Macdonald and Rivers.

Grigg would be a good half back flank/rotating mid. He racks up massive amounts of possessions in the reserves, he;s hard, can kick fine, breaks tackles.

I like him, I may a little bit biased because of a connection I have, but I have watched him for many years, and think he'd be a good addition. I'm not saying we should pay over the odds, and I wont be upset if we don't get him, but if the price was right, would be a good addition.

No worries about clearing the potential Grigg-Tarrant uproar - happy to sort it out for you!

What's Lee got to do with this?!

Grigg has been impressive every time that I have watched the Blues play. I thought that he would be part of the batch of very good midfielders at Carlton but alas he must feel that he is to far down the pecking order...

Warnock would command a bit more on the trade table due to being a KPP.

Grigg spoke with Richmond during the week and I am pretty sure a deal will be made with them during trade week. He has been offered 3 years by the tiggers.

Don't rate Grigg at all.

Next.

The singing cowboy, wasn't he on Board?

LOL...

I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on the value of Matty Warnock Vs Chris Tarrant? Tarrant has asked to leave, so naturally offers come to those who are forcefully on the move. But I would have thought that Matty Warnock would be worth a tad more to a side like Hawthorn/Carlton and so on due to his age and ability tp play as a featured back man. Tarrant is solid, but ultimately he will cost a it more and has less years left in his legs.

As for Grigg, he will find a place and Carlton will get decent compensation. He could be partnered with a Walker or a Jacobs to help land them a first round draft selection.

I think your summation is quite accurate-Warnock ahead of Tarrant.I'd keep Warnock as a back up-without him we haven't got a call if we have an injury except Martin.

Why not both Warnock & Tarrant now it appears more than likely they are going to lose Grigg.

I think Carlton will expect to get 2 or possibly 3 years out of Tarrant. The attraction would be his mobility & class will help to fasttrack them into the top 4. Where as Warnock is as solid as a Rock but not the same class, but offers 4, or 5 years as a regular, so that should really cover their window.

With the clearing of their defenders Now, they really need both, but they have to have a succession plan to follow Tarrant.?

I think they'd try to trade a player or 2, or player & pick, to Freo, who are in a finals window, whereas we are still list building & entering the road to the finals. I think we are younger than Freo, so our window is probably just behind them a little. So, we would want the pick IMO. (17 - 20 range)...

18 - CARL

19 - HAW

20 - FREO?

21 - SYD?

22 - DOGS?

23 - GEELONG?

24 - SAINTS

Good disposal skills will be more important than ever in 2011 and beyond.

Carlton people are critical of Grigg's foot skills and this is what the 2007 AFL Prospectus said about him:-

The only major deficiency evident in his game is his kicking. In 2006 his average of three clanger kicks per game was easily the most of any TAC Cup player or any 2006 draftee.
