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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
