A player who might be worth a go at is Ryley Sanders , dropped for dogs last game when imo was just starting to come good . I never really rated him but I did watch a couple of dogs game's and liked what i saw from him , apparently he is not happy with bevo .

He is a Tasmanian who will be high on the devils hitlist , which could possibly land good draft picks in a trade with the devils or via draft compensation .

merrett is not an upgrade on Trac

You must be joking ?

not many finals wins merrett has played in, and definitely no premiership or norm smith medals in his locker

merrett is a better kick but not a better player

You’re living in the past, Petracca’s not that player anymore

Nope

Merritt is a good player, I’m knocking him, but in my opinion Trac was and still is a better player

And I’m not against trading Trac either for the right deal

Just my opinion

Trac has far more weapons than Merrett, who are you kidding. Trac over Merrett is not even an argument worth having, it’s clear cut

💯. All this activity at Carlton was MFC last year. Players wanting to leave, delistings and drama was Goody trying to salvage what he could last year. Carlton will finish bottom 4 next year. Take that to the bank. I’d also think Voss will struggle to make it to bye week.

We have just seen this story to many times for it to finish any other way.

God that would make me happy. Can’t stand them and their whingy supporters.

Every time they lose, I’m like the grinch on Christmas Day, stealing all the who’s toys and food.

If we want to get to finals, I’m taking Merret every day of the week.

If we need to win a final, it’s probably Trac.

Unfortunately, we need to get back to finals before we start winning them. By that stage, Langford is likely winning us more games than Trac and Merret combined.

Merrett would be a perfect addition for our midfield. Never going to happen though.

Oliver, Kozzy, Windsor and Merrett with Lindsay and Langford on the wings would be drool-worthy.

If the Hawks and Petracca want each other, would we consider a Lewis and McKenzie package with a couple of picks getting thrown around?

I don’t really know what else they could realistically offer us. Lewis isn’t a walk up start for them anymore yet he probably would be for us, McKenzie seems to have a fair bit of potential. I’m curious as to what Petraccas perceived value is in the industry now after a somewhat down year

Lewis can barely get through a five game stretch without breaking down with injury and McKenzie can’t make it out of the vfl

Mckenzie is average, nil interest there

At least Flanders can find the pill

Flanders also very good at half back if need be

Dersken expected to came as a delisted free agent and Heath from StK also expected to be coming our way too

They also stated McVee was likely to delay any decisions to sign or trade until the new coach. Adelaide's offer knocked back as well.

If we could pry out Flanders and Mihocek in addition to those two it would be a handy off season

When did Adelaide make an offer for McVee?

And if the good mail on here is to be believed (and I believe it), why did they bother?

Gettable reported they tabled an offer a couple weeks ago.

Twomey thinks Trac should leave now while Riley thinks Claz should stay

There is something about this whole thing that just doesn’t add up. Ghostly has solid track record and I tend to believe what she has put up on McVee.

However the delay in announcement is totally bizarre and should not have anything to do with coach announcement from a marketing perspective as we already announced some resigning earlier.

So he either hasn’t signed, outright lied to Ghosty and all of us (by extension) and is waiting for coach to be announced before making his decision

OR

He has signed and there is a the ‘Bermuda triangle’ situation with his paper work and announcement script.

Ok what about Cripps or Walsh or Merret? They are in a similar position to Trac are they not? Both on big money, could pursue success elsewhere etc.

I don’t get why there is this particular fixation on Trac but not others.

Now I’d like to get rid of him as well - he is on top dollar and can’t kick to save his life. If we can get Hawks (Blues) first round this year, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Some good tall defenders in the top 10.

They're good reporters, don't care much for their list management opinions.
