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

If the next Silvagni son is on a par with the current one heโ€™d be worth roughly pick 88 in the rookie draft. Absolute spud Jack Silvagni.

The definition of being on a list because of who his father was. Only in this instance, if I remember rightly, his father recruited him as well.

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.

Don't think that's right Jim. ย Gold Coast have selected a couple of state league players already I think.

As Saber and Cards said above, the deal with Geelong makes no sense at all, and is just plain stupid.

It makes sense to Geelong if they had to use a higher pick than 43 to draft Nathan Kreuger, a 19yo, tall swingman playing in the SANFL.ย  Highly likely Crows or Port had their sights on him with a higher pick.ย ย 

To me this is against the spirit of the concessions:ย  for GCS and Carlton to top up with experienced players before other clubs can draft them.ย  GCS is doing just that.ย  Carlton is cashing in the players for picks.ย  The beneficiary in this case is Geelong who get a player on the cheap before anyone else gets a chance.

Wouldn't an intelligent list manager have started a bidding war for the concession pick, considering many clubs would've had their sights set on hidden gems? Create paranoia and play clubs against clubs, wait until someone blinks and offers overs.

Oh, nope. We'll just settle for some shitty pick in the 50s on day 1 from the first club that asks. Nevermind all that.ย ?

Every club had the chance to do the deal, Cats probably were front and center.

Carltonโ€™s list build has been woeful.ย 

Disagree it's built around a spine and will take longer than ours. The main pieces are there and from 2020 they will be where we were last year

Kreuger is likely to be able to play too.ย  Geelong's recent record with this type is excellent - Tim Kelly and Stewart.

If Carlton use the pick on say Setterfield then it looks closer to the AFL intent.

With Setterfield nominating Carlton as his club of choice, what do people think about them potentially giving up Pick 1 for Shiel and Setterfield.ย  Too much?ย  I think that's a fair deal - I know Pick 1 is a big deal, but Setterfield was the fifth pick just a few years back and Shiel is still a very, very good player who will slot in very well alongside Cripps.

If we had Pick 1 would you do that deal, or try and pull something else off and hope it's enough so you could still take Pick 1 to the draft?

I think itโ€™s probably a bit much, maybe another sweetener added to that and itโ€™s a good deal.ย 

I just canโ€™t see Carlton moving pick 1 unless itโ€™s for an insane deal.ย 

I suspect they will try next years firstย

They would be crazy to do that deal.ย 

Carlton need to build players to be hitting their prime in 4 years. Not bring in GWS reject over & over.ย

I went cold on Shiel due to his disposal and goal kicking this year.

He's a peptide now.

Gross. Lost all respect for him.

[censored] hate those flogs. Only thing worse would've been Hawthorn I guess.

Hahahaha my sentiments exactly mate! Gold.

Forgot about that! Enjoy fitting that private jet into your salary cap for no return, Blooooooos! ?

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourneโ€™sย performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
