Apparently GWS Giants defender Caleb Marchbank has requested a trade with a number of Victorian clubs interested in the former top ten pick services for 2017.

Want. Asking price could be too high though?

I think that's where our enquiries will end.

Doubtful.
Early draft pick, but he hasn't done too much to prove himself at this stage.

I think that's where most of our inquiries will end during this trade period.  Marchbank would more than likely be a terrific acquisition, but with plenty of other clubs feeling the same way and more picks or players up their sleeve, I doubt we'll get much of a look in.

Probably true... However, with all the good currency going towards some of the bigger names, and with us having a good trade relationship with GWS, we could be a chance? Future second rounder and a player maybe?

 

Will be a gun.

Would love this guy at the Dees.  

Huge chance to end up at Carlton, but rate the kid and would love him

He would be competing with Oscar (Same position, age, size).  Caleb may be very good but I prefer Oscar thanks and use any chips available for Caleb for another position player.

Future gun. Would have broken out this year if not for injuries.

Pass. I think our defence will be outstanding next year with the 2 Macs, Frost, Hibberd, Hunt, Harry LaBamba (yes he'll be playing next year) and depth in Wagner and Garland/Dunn if they hang around.

We have other areas of concern - i.e. pacy mids, resting ruck etc..

For the reasons you mention we probably won't pursue Marchbank.

That said, imo Marchbank will be a better player than Oscar.

Will be reunited with all of Silvagni's other GW$ recruits at the Blues.

Would love him.

Would be huge for us.

2017 first rounder?

Why?

We have nothing to offer... Marchbank is worth a player or a draft pick around 18 to 25.

Certain to go to Blues for pick 22 and 40 as a swap for Marchbank and pick 50.

Top 10 pick who's been injured since he was drafted more or less.  Huge wraps on him though. 

We don't need another key defender given the young group we're putting together down back. 

On the other hand, he'd almost certainly be an upgrade on to of them if he could get on the park. 

Depends on the price and whether he wants to come and play I would guess.

I kind of get your curiosity on this one Saty.

If Oscar improves at the rate he did throughout this year, we will have a top liner on our hands.

If he is as talented as some suggest, I dislike the idea of Carlton picking up a top 10 recruit for very little. It annoys me. Still, he won't help their third world midfield (that still manages to kill us every time).

Would like to get him, especially if we're looking to move on Dunn and/or Garland. Go after Steele too please. OH, and WHE

Ohhh, yes please.

Apparently the Blues will get a few more Giants. He could be one of them.

Then we should go after him.

Carlton supporters have been saying for some time that both Marchbank and Tomlinson were signed, sealed and delivered.

Sounds like they had some inside information.
