We have the picks 

We have the goal kicking coach

Perhaps Haroldo would prefer life out of the Carlton spotlight...

 

DUD...Move on cost them the game!

I would take him.Big unit. 

 

From SEN just now...

"I would [censored] him off to the nearest club i could sell him to"

Give Carlton a second and they can pay 150k of his salary up to 2030.

The most important thing is cap space. I'm pretty sure we don't have much to lure anyone? Unless we lose some players (Jordon, Harmes, another) and find another club to take the last year of the contract of Tmac or BBB ?

Although I'm just guessing.

Did he not just sign like an 8 year contract extension until 2030?

Yep. Don’t let that get in the way of the discussion though 😜

We tried to get him and missed our chance. His contract is too big for us to take on now. We’ll need to look elsewhere or just continue to develop JVR and Jefferson.

 

Chocco would fix him up in a heart beat.

He would thrive at the Dees, they are a mess down there.

 

Persoanlly think if we got him, with what Choco has done and a change in scenery he would be kicking bags but he is just too expensive and we would be put in a situation like the Pies. We would need Carton to pay more than they would be willing to,


He’s next to useless, hearts the size of a dried pea.

No thanks, Choco might fix the kicking but he's not a heart surgeon. Harry looks like he's playing to preserve himself.

Incredible that he simply can't kick a drop punt for a goal.

Get back to me after next week’s  game.

I think there’s only three forwards in the game that would be useful to us, Jeremy Cameron, Toby Greene and Rankine.

Not sure anyone else has the tricks to work in our stifling setup.

*on the assumption we still have Kozzie and Fritta

Curnow.

He's an absolute star forward who doesn't get enough credit especially as he is surrounded by poor individuals. 

Would happily pay him a mil a year.

Well down this year though. Bereft of confidence. His goal attempts last night were horrendous.

But he kicked 58 in 21 and 45 last year. He's a very good player and would fill a gaping hole for us. And there aren;t many options out there. Chocco will set him right.

Carlton need to shake-up their list and I reckon McKay could be sacrificed to bring in picks. He might just be gettable. 

Curnow is obviously the better player but he is ungettable. The hoards would burn down Ikon Park if he was traded.

True.

He would suit us well getting up the ground

1. Choco will fix him

2. Our midfield will provide much better delivery to him

3. Carlton will be desperate to get rid of him and will pay half his wage

4. JVR and Jefferson will take a few years to hit top gear

5. BBB and TMac clearly on the way out

All adds up to a strong YES

He is also dropping a lot of marks.

It’s probably just a form slump, but it does highlight the dangers of long contracts at big money, if you get them wrong, it can stuff up your list.

100%. He can be a stay at home gun, or a running Centre Half Forward. If he was in our forward line we’d win the flag for the next 5 years.

Mckay. No no no

I would be searching for a Mitch Lewis. Best young forward in the league right now (second only to Curnow imv) 

Gotta find another like him 


Lewis was drafted by Hawthorn with their second selection and seventy-sixth overall in the 2016 AFL draft.

Not so sure about point 2.  
Or the second part of 3.

But yes, if the price is right and we get a sports psychologist to screen him first.  Not if he costs us players or too much cap space. 

We already took on one stupid long term contract.

Stop searching for the magic bullet unrealistic marquee forward.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
