The way I see it we will need to do a player trade for either Frost or Garlett, we won't have enough picks.

Or...

23 for Garlett and 28

28 for Lumumba

Clark and 60 for 35 and 54

54 for Frost

Still have 35 in the bag after all that.

The Blues had the best small forward combination a couple of years back one left last season the other will be gone this trade period. Add Waite into the picture and Carlton has lost it's Full forward Line from two years ago.

And so far replaced them with Liam Jones. :D

On trade radio, Essendon or Melbourne. The problems at EFC ruled them out. BOOM!

Yeah, us being able to field a side next year puts us ahead. ;)

On trade radio - Pickering (his manager) said Roos has an appealing role for him, not just as a small forward but more up the ground in the midfield also

Our man Roos is a genius. So good at selling.

Garlett hits me as the ideal player for the rope-a-dope style of footy, where you flood your back line to soak up and stop the opposition then want to quickly counter attack while your forward line is open.

Garlett also offers ability at ground level if we're not playing the counter too. He's a great fit if his mind is in the game and he brings discipline.

At his best he applies good forward pressure too!

I love that Roos brings in players to carry out a specific role in his game plan, rather than the idiotic scattergun approach Norf Melbourne take by bringing in whoever's available only to lose one of their best midfielders as collateral.

Line-breaking and bouncing are massive flaws in modern MFC footy.

Harry, Garlett, Varcoe (heading west?) is the injection we are clearly after.

Looks like Roos year 1 went for inside mids; year 2 for line-breaking outsiders.

Roosy can get the best out of this kid.

Carlton mates used to rave about Garlett

If we can stitch up Jeff & Harry O this week for second round picks we have done well in stage 1

Blease, Strauss and the kitchen sink.

We offered that 3 for 1 offer to Carlton already but the baulked at the suggestion - their unrealistic offer was a straight swap Gartlett for the kitchen sink.

Paul Roos.

We are seriously lucky to have him at the club but he is the only selling point we have at the moment

Just me or is the MFC a sneaky chance of getting in the 8 if everything goes to plan next year?

Just you, two players that their current clubs don't want anymore doesn't make us a top 8 team.

No, unless we get a decent tall goalkicker then I think we will seriously struggle to kick winning scores. I'm not letting the promise in the off season get me again !! I only see us winning 6 to 7 games but who knows really.

Just you I think, mate, but I love the optimism.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
