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?

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.

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.

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.

Why?

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 :)

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.

GNF?

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
