Has skill and pace, but I doubt that the club would want to reunite two of the three amigos, so it's very unlikely he will be at the Dees.

If he's a Carlton player, it's a sure thing that he'll be starring in the finals at another club next year.

On that basis, you would take him and Kreuzer in a heartbeat.

Roos would also need to work on Yarran's defensive efforts.

Someone on here posted a Yarran highlight reel a while back that was breathtaking. The problem with him though is that his good is as good as you'll see but it doesn't happen often or consistently enough.

It would come down to what you would have to pay for him and given Carlton has been watching its discards tearing up the comp lately you would imagine he wouldn't come cheap

Officially gone from the Blues. Not surprising news really.

Tigers lead the race for him, although they are trying to talk up a possible move back to WA as well.

Doesn't seem we have any interest at all in him.

24 yo, pace and creativity off HB. Isn't that pretty much exactly what we need?

I'll back McCartney / Goodwin / Roos to turn him around.

If he could mark the footy then I would say yes but no I don't think he's what we want.

Richmond seems to be in the hunt for everyone.

I seem to remember that Garlett's request to be traded to Melbourne took most by surprise last year. I'm trying to take all rumours with a grain of salt and looking forward to seeing what the football department surprises us with in the next few weeks.

Would rather him than Bennell

No disrespect but you can't be serious. Bennell is miles better than Yarran.

Yaz has skills and pace, but also amazing vanishing skills. If there's hesitation about Bennell's influence on off-field culture, he's got nothing on Yarran when it comes to detrimental influence on-field. One of the softest downhill skiers going around. Roos says he wants competitors. Yarran is pretty much the antithesis of that.

I'd only be interested in getting him on the cheap, but Carlton won't part with him cheaply.

Tigers can have him as they continue their tour of delusion.

I wouldn't give up pick 100 for Yarran, let alone the first round pick that Carlton want. Could you imagine Lumumba and Yarran prancing around on opposite flanks, trailing their men in by five metres and generally looking disinterested? No thanks.

I would probably give up a 3rd round pick for Yarran. I wouldn't go beyond that though. I think he is suspect mentally, I am not sold he is capable of succeeding at an AFL level. Sure, he does have the talent, but I don't think he is worth the risk. To my eye, he is an incident waiting to happen. He cannot control himself.

So Cam Luke (AFL Trade radio host) is saying that Richmond apparently want to offload Ben Lennon and a third rounder for Yarran......

What?

From bigfooty:

Sorry for intruding.

Not sure it's been mentioned in your thread but a poster on the Carlton forum has mentioned Yarran's manager has been in touch with Melbourne and vice versa and Yarran is open to the discussion.

Goes with what was mentioned earlier about Paul Connor's (Yarrans manager and others obviously) appearing at Melbourne HQ.

If say that was to go ahead, what do you think Melbourne would want to offer? Not sure Yarran is the right fit but hopefully he finds a good home and shows his true potential.

Wouldn't shock me in the slightest if we got him.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 19th February 2025

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time. Activities included kicking for goal,  aerial , contest work etc. I noticed the following players not in match simulation Jack Viney  running laps and looks fine for round one . I think Kolt looks like he’s im

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
