rjay 25,503 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah, I visited a Carlton fan forum and they were suggesting that the Blues should target Nathan Jones. 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.
Adam The God 31,052 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah, I visited a Carlton fan forum and they were suggesting that the Blues should target Nathan Jones. 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.
Little Richard 6,265 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 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.
Ron Burgundy 8,588 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah, I visited a Carlton fan forum and they were suggesting that the Blues should target Nathan Jones. Fat chance. The club wouldn't trade him for Buddy Franklin. He's an MFC lifer.
beelzebub 23,431 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 The idea of say a Dal Santo would be to add him to midfield not build one around him
La Dee-vina Comedia 17,167 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Yeah, I visited a Carlton fan forum and they were suggesting that the Blues should target Nathan Jones.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).
Axis of Bob 11,983 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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.
alias275 259 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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.
Little Richard 6,265 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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. They really are as stupid as they look then.
dazzledavey36 56,753 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 They really are as stupid as they look then. We aren't much far behind with some shockers we have brought up on here.
Little Richard 6,265 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Anyone keen on Leeroy Jetta? Looks set to leave the Dons this season.
mjt 640 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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.
dazzledavey36 56,753 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Anyone keen on Leeroy Jetta? Looks set to leave the Dons this season. Wow u said carlton supporters are as stupid as they look for trying to get into hogan and then you come up with this!? Stay right away from jetta. Biggest [censored] going around and a complete dud. Should be playing soccer for his infamous stage acts on the field!

Stay right away from jetta. Biggest [censored] going around and a complete dud. Should be playing soccer for his infamous stage acts on the field! 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.
Whispering_Jack 31,396 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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. Heard they were also into Billy Stretch.
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 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].
Ted Lasso 19,586 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 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.
trout 385 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 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.
Tnc dee 15 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 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
Tnc dee 15 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 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 ) $$$$$$$$ and 3 yrs min
Shmity29 61 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 Depending on the finals this year Sewell might be a target if he doesn't get game time and dion prestie ( if he hasn't signed with the suns ) $$$$$$$$ and 3 yrs min Dion Prestia resigned earlier this year
Daz's Dee's 113 Posted July 27, 2013 Posted July 27, 2013 What about Ryan Griffen from the dogs should be our number 1 target absolute quality player forget daisey and dal santo
