jnrmac 20,377 Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 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. 7 Quote

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. 2 Quote

You and your calm, accurate recollection of events. I want the crazy pipe dream of getting pick 1 for three players. ? Edited July 10, 2018 by Devil is in the Detail 2 Quote

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. Quote

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. Quote

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. . Edited July 10, 2018 by DV8 Quote

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. 2 Quote

YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,830 Posted July 10, 2018 Posted July 10, 2018 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. Quote

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. Quote

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? Quote

Gold Coasts’ issues stem from a lack of leadership and top end talent, they don’t need more fringe players. Edited July 10, 2018 by Ethan Tremblay Quote

WERRIDEE 5,638 Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 What if we added Stretch and Hunt to the Tyson, Frost and Bugg deal? Would that get them interested? Quote

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. Quote
