GCDee

Yeah decent back up pick up for free. Much better than Jenkins so I'm okay with it. I wonder what the world record for picking up delisted free agents are in one year, benell, Murray and brown haha

He really impressed me in the small sample size this year. He will need to add some diversity to his role if he wants to crack into the team.

I'm not too sure on the Kemp hype however I must admit I have only seen a few highlights of the kid.

Yep I voted young and serong a while back. Young fills the obvious need of a smooth moving quality kick, he will come and replace Lewis Serong is a mid who actually can play forward, I can see him and tracc playing rotating roles between mid and forward.

The thought of having two absolute jets in terms of speed on our team really excites me. I think we need to play hunt of half back and Langdon on a wing.

I'd love jack martin at the club, however I'd much prefer to have cap space and be in the picture for those 2020 free agents. [censored] that list looks amazing

Yes very decent draw. Play in QLD twice again which makes me very happy. No excuses next year. Top four should be what is expected with top 6 being a "pass"

Hahaha, so many auto correct errors on my phone then! I just meant why would GC delist Martin now & let him walk for free to the blues after their negotiations fell over. At least if he goes into the PSD the Blues will squirm a bit and will likely overpay him in terms of salary.

Why would that do that when the were at an impass at the trade table? Even if they (and us) have no intention in taking him in the PSD they should make them squirm a bit

Hoping for Serong & Young....

This would actually be so amazing and the biggest FU to those carlscum supporters if we nab him in the PSD. Here's hoping he is good mates with May and or KK.

B+ trade period for me. We will hit the draft and get some genuine A grade talent through the door. We have improved our current playing group adding two genuine wingers. I would have loved to get a fit Elliot accross the line because I am still a tad worried about our forward line. Time will tell I guess.

Yep agreed I couldn't believe the "experts" were rating him as a mid 20s pick. Surely a pick around 12-18 is what was needed to get him over the line. Carlton fans surely will be fuming, I'm sure a 35 year old Betts might get a goal of the year nomination for them.

9 + a future second.

GC want a first rounder to be part of a trade. Carlton need 9 for Papley and would be crazy to give up their first rounder next year as it could likely be a top 5 pick. I like Jack Martin I think he could be a genuine role player for us however I think his asking price is a bit too much.

Yoko has gone very quite, I don't think there is any deal for a Victorian key forward getting done in 10 hours which the media hasn't sniffed out yet....

Sounds like a trade we cannot lose... Just imagine if GWS fall and we pick up an early teen pick

I don't think the slide will be that far.... However even if that's the case we still "win" from a points perspective

I hope they hold him to his contract and lose him to FA next year

If we are getting back into the first round next year and only going back 3 spots this year in what seems to be a very equal draft from picks 3-12 seems like a massive win for us.

I couldn't be happier with this deal if it goes through

The Hawks are taking on A grade talent which are paid like A grade talent with D grade output. GWS needed Scully and Patton off their books so they can retain they players which aren't injured and know will play their best.. whitfield, cameron, Coniglio etc Even though Scully came back and played most of this year he hardly had much impact. Patton I dare say will be much the same

Sydney don't have 9.

haha yeah most of them should be ashamed of this year....

With that logic.... Would you take a second rounder for Tmac?
