The majority of you are completely misrepresenting what Carey said.

He said basically that:

- draft picks are no good for Carlton. They have had plenty of no 1 picks and they are still where they are. And when Murphy, Kruezer and others retire these draft picks will be thrown to the wolves.

- They would be better trading the pick 1 for a bunch of ready made players that can have an immediate impact and protect the likes of Curnow, McKay, etc

He used an example of Melbourne which perhaps wasn't the best saying Tyson, Frost and Bugg weren't getting games and could be a potential swap but other than that it's a completely logical solution to their mess if any club would do it.

Carey was either joking or he's injected his Botox straight into the brain.  For that deal I'd even throw in Pedo

Dont be suprised mate, they aren't asking for one but the powers that be behind the scenes are lobbying hard for it. The same pricks that gave Carlton 6 Friday Night Game are the same pricks that

Yep, that is what he said, I personally don't like the bloke but he is allowed to have an opinion I have heard a lot worse than this.

You and your calm, accurate recollection of events. I want the crazy pipe dream of getting pick 1 for three players. ?

On talking footy Wayne Carey came up with a solution for Carlton No1 pick.

Trade it for Frost, Tyson and Bugg (all ex GWS we all know SOS loves GWS)

Is he out of his mind? or are in with a shot of getting Walsh?

Imagine Gaff and Walsh on  our wings. (It's got my tent up)

Thoughts?

No. no he's not.

 

I think, 'if you think about it', he's talking about trading the number 1 pick,,, just like we did under Roosy.

So trading down the First 2018 Draft pick, on a number of picks above P25.

Then trade some of these picks for some maturity.

In a topline draft, I would prefer 5 top 30 picks,,,,, than one pick in the top 5.

Wayne also rates Grundy ahead of Gawn, and said to Lingy ,who is on the all Australian committee, that Grundy should be a certainty for all Australian Ruckman.

So do I.

Grundy is better around the ground consistently, than Maxy.

 

Maxy needs to improve around the ground, particularly taking marks in big numbers.

Carlton aren’t tanking for Frost, Bugg and Tyson. 

exactly... they do not mind hanging coaches out to dry, over at the Old Prince's Park_

....  whilst they put young guns into hibernation. 

Controlling their ladder position,,,  and the public perception of they're list's condition.

 

They need an NJones type, a Roughhead type, a Zac Jones type. etc.

Have to agree to disagree there .

The position is “Ruckman” and Max has more hit outs and more hit outs to advantage.

He also marks very well around the ground and is more of a forward option than Grundy. Covers just as much ground.

Many scribes have him not only as the best Ruckman but all The coaches rate him , currently leading the coaches votes and is a Brownlow favorite, being top three of most media awards.

Anything short of 8 marks for a player like him is unders.

He's improved marginally, at taking marks inside F50.  He is capable of SO much more than that.

Its time we stopped allowing ruckmen to NOT take marks in numbers.  Has to change.

Would you? It stands as a terrible deal for both teams. The team that finished last brings in three start-up top 22 players that won't make them much better, and lose a top 1 pick. 

Melbourne lose experience and depth for an unproven kid.

What makes you think we would take a kid with the number one pick rather than use it to trade in some speed and clean ball skills to the list?

Regardless of what Carey said we need to get back in the draft somehow. Package some fringe players up to a Gold Coast and get back in.

Gold Coast would be frothing over a deal like this.. We wouldn’t be happy, I don’t know why posters think other clubs would be. Gold Coasts’ issues stem from a lack of leadership and top end talent, they don’t need more fringe players.

They need players if there stupid enough to except well thats their problem. Worth asking the question tho....

What if we added Stretch and Hunt to the Tyson, Frost and Bugg deal? 

Would that get them interested?

Rubbish I'd rather win an AFL premiership than VFL premiership. Walsh will make it he's a gun. In our best 22 easily.

Not even Stephen Silvagni  (who  is probably the wort list manager in the AFL) would give up Pick 1 unless he got back a Hogan or Petracca.

Im pretty sure it would ,but not for me although I get where you’re coming from.

We just saw Stretch and Frost plays decent games after having to wait along time for their opportunity.

We’ve also seen Tyson and Bugg produce for us over time.

Proposed action would  the heart out of our young group and we owe Carlton zero.

Maybe a couple on our list to the Suns might work. They need leadership , experience and direction.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
