The only reason Brisbane would let him go is because he wants a 5 year contract and they are only prepared to offer 3.

Its not much but it is something.

Would MFC be happy to offer a 5 year contract? Personally, I dont like them as so much can happen over that time with injury and form that MFC could be left with a poor deal based on 2007 $$$.

I would have thought Carlton and Richmond might be interested and up the ante with a better pick.

I would like to get an late second round/ early third round pick from StK to go with pick 9.

Yes 5 years would be a risk.

But it could be a good one. Charman is quality and will still be rucking 6 years after White has retired.
