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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
