peptides wanted to secure someone after missing out on multiple free agents - they frontloaded his contract enormously for the first 2 years of his 5 year deal

That too, but I thought I read somewhere that Norf had a hand in the degree and amount of the front ending, cause they wanted picks 2 & 3 in the Harley Reid draft?

Could be wrong.

Have you not watched his career? He is the definition of a charity contract.

He is like James Frawley, bit with absolutely no talent or pace.

he is nothing like chip, who was all oztrayan in a middling side and then a premiership player in a very good one

i'm mildly annoyed that he cracked 100 games for dingley, thus making any boys eligible for them under (current) father-son rules

He only played in one flag (in 2015).

I was sort of agreeing with you.

The entire media was after his head after an insipid first 4 weeks, and yet somehow played a good game against us in round 5. Amazing right..

We are very good at bombing it down average defenders throats. We've made Comben, McKay and Ratagolea all look like All Aus defenders this year....

The Kent Kingsley principle lives on.

Meanwhile, should we be upgrading this thread from a Harry McKay to a more general 'picking over the Blue carcass' thread?

Unfortunately we don't have much immediate draft value to offer them, and their potential free agency have all been signed up or are being offered a Mexican silver mine by someone else already, but surely some of their mass-injured demoralised players aren't keen to sit through a re-rebuild at a club with such a perennially impatient and entitled coterie-level culture.

Kemp is out of contract but not a free agent. Had so many injuries and been played almost at random positions to the point where it is impossible to really know if he can make it at AFL level. Personally I see potential.

Walsh is an RFA out of contract in 2026, in variable form (the drop from his early career is alarming) and currently injured.

Hmm, actually, gee, there's not much I'd be trying to extract from Carlton.

I do feel fragments of sympathy for the general Blues fans, but the silvertails, the board and its connections (which in the case of the Carlton board is almost like racehorse 'connections') and the actual club executive deserve every bag of ---- coming their way.

We can always extract the urine.

Bergman is the player to get.

They’re there, you just gotta look

Yes we need a key forward but not McKay.

Was our interest in Logan Morris this year or last?

Fears of missing out on landing a big fish don’t justify grabbing anyone. An earlier post has already pointed out that Chol and Membrey are more than serviceable role players at their respective clubs. They would be playing for half of what McKay is on.

I’d like to see Petty moved back into defence as he’s a quality defender, I’d like to see Disco, JVR and Jefferson played up fwd for the remainder of this season. We won’t be playing finals this year so what have we got to lose.
