See Carlton have traded their State League compensation picket Geelong.  Means Geelong can pick up some 19yo kid from SA (has played 1 season of senior footy in the SANFL), and they (Carlton) are getting a pick in the National Draft in return.

I didn't read much about the compensation picks they and the Gold Coast got, and the conditions of those picks, but I'm sure Gil's intentions wouldn't have been for them to trade in to the National Draft with.

What's a bet this bloke turns out to be a star for Geelong, and Carlton manage to fluck up their ND pick?!  (That said, the AFL website was talking about the possibility of the pick being involved in the McGovern deal).

    I bet they didn't expect this: 

    "...the AFL moved this week to advise Carlton that the cost of the charter flight to fly Dylan Shiel to Noosa had to be included in the soft cap or football department spend...even if it was a donation".

    Ha!Ha! Small pennies but it is good to see the AFL take some action.

    I wonder if Judy still holds his 'environmental ambassador' role for VISY?  Could be a vacancy open for Shiel should he arrive?

    Wasn’t Shiel flown there in a private jet as well? The whole thing is just so greasy...

    So greasy, so Carlton .

    Hopefully they don’t use Carlton’s self valuation of the said charter flight ??!! Would the AFL have a barcode re jet charters to go by ?

    Mathieson was there because he is a long-time, deep-pocketed Carlton tragic (who gifted them the majority of their poker machines)!

    True, got me there.

    However I’m quite bullish about Carlton’s list build. I expect them to go past at least half a dozen sides over the next 24 months. You can rise up pretty quickly with astute drafting/trading. Case in point - us!

    I reckon under the right coach their spine has great potential, but their midfield is still bog ordinary aside from Cripps and Curnow. Dow might be okay but with SOS' record could well be a bust too.

    Rorting the salary cap for Carlscum is part of their DNA, isn't it?

    Was a story last week, teams can do this but the money has to come out of the clubs soft cap.

    Soft not salary

    Blues received pick 42... deal makes no sense to me. Why would you not want to pick up a mature player that can be a bridge for a couple of years to allow the young players to grow.

    Pick 42 (on its own, not part of greater deal) is a massive cr ap shoot.

    Add Walsh and Shiel and natural progression of Dow, maybe a couple of big bodied mature journeymen to support Cripps and their midfield looks dramatically different inside 24 months.

    I agree on their spine. Looking good.

    What an insanely stupid trade from Carlton. Morons. Completely defeating the entire purpose of what that pick is meant to serve.

    Would love for us or another club to make a decent bid for the next Silvagni son this year. Force their hand so as to not get him cheaply

    It was meant to be traded.

    It's kind of the Clayton's second round pick. The priority given to the recipient clubs did not upset the other clubs with their various draft picks including for that matter the MFC.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
