Makes as much sense as Kennedy I guess. These things are only going to get worse and the clubs themselves are going to throw up some rubbish to try and get pick one....that's going to be a good laugh too.

Really? How odd. They're obviously impressed with McLean. Jones'd great B grade, cusp of A grade with Judd and Murphy around him. Obviously, I don't we should trade him though. It follows naturally that if we could get an A grader or two alongside Jones, he'll be an important part of a bullocking MFC midfield.

Personally, I think a few FAs are starting to open up. Sewell and Dal Santo could be perfect experienced big pay FAs and I'd throw the kitchen sink at Sydney's Kennedy and all of a sudden, you have a starting midfield of Sewell, Jones and Kennedy. That's looking closer to A grade than D grade. Dal Santo could then play across half back and play through the middle to give the others a chop out occasionally. Stick Trengove on a wing, Grimes on the other and you've got players that can play through the middle to support these A graders you've brought in.

The message - we must be aggressive at trades and FAs. Even more so if we get a PP.

Del Santo is a class mid but I am unsure if he is the type you could build a midfield around. His influence often appers to be his skilfulness rather than his impact on games of team mates being inspired by him. I am unconvinced that he would/could influence Viney, Toumpas, Barry too much. Now Brad Sewell on the other hand...

Good assessment, I think exactly the same words apply for Dale Thomas. If we could get one really tough, leadership type ie Sewell and another such as Dal Santo, Thomas etc we'd be flying.

If it has to be one, the Sewell type is spot on.

As we found last year it ain't that easy to get these players as success becomes more of a factor for the older guys rather than money (for the most part anyway).

If we get one of the names being thrown around here I'll be very happy.

Fat chance. The club wouldn't trade him for Buddy Franklin.

He's an MFC lifer.

The idea of say a Dal Santo would be to add him to midfield not build one around him

Bizarre. Carlton needs key position players, not mids. Nevertheless, I'd be quite happy for Carlton to continue to recruit players they don't actually need (but not Nathan Jones).

I was on that same forum and Carlton were bemoaning their lack of key forwards. They were suggesting that the Blues should target Jesse Hogan.

I'm sure every club will be targeting him. We definitely need his signature by April 2014.

They really are as stupid as they look then.

We aren't much far behind with some shockers we have brought up on here.

Anyone keen on Leeroy Jetta? Looks set to leave the Dons this season.

Yes ,provided he escapes the Peptides sanctions, the Bombers are in massive limbo.

Not really, I find he goes missing a lot.

Stupid because they'd have no hope in getting Hogan from us. Jetta would be an upgrade from quite a few guys on the list at the moment so as long as we didn't have to pay too much, I'd take that.

Heard they were also into Billy Stretch.

Jetta is definitely an upgrade on some of our current smalls, but that isn't saying much. And besides, the bloke just looks like a complete [censored].

Probably going to get shot down for this, but would we consider offers for Trengove?

don't get me wrong i think he will come good but if he doesn't next year we have to look at our options.

I think given how bad our midfield is we should look at putting one of Clark, Dawes or Watts up for trade in hope of getting a decent midfielder to the club.

We don't need forwards we need an engine room Adams from gws and any other quality mid in the free agent period or trade (if any club wants to) need to make bold plays like we have with Clark and Dawes if we can assemble a midfield and they have a couple of pre season wins we might knock off a few sides in home and away season

Depending on the finals this year Sewell might be a target if he doesn't get game time and dion prestie ( if he hasn't signed with the suns ) $$$$$$$$ and 3 yrs min

Dion Prestia resigned earlier this year

What about Ryan Griffen from the dogs should be our number 1 target absolute quality player forget daisey and dal santo

And draft garlett like we should have last year
