We truly have adopted an anti-Jeelong list management philosophy

If it all blows up in our faces, you'll all have a flag to dry your tears on

You don't win a flag then 'win' trades in that sense anymore. Bowey made an immediate impact.

Via the Carlton Draft https://carltondrafttshirts.com/collections/frontpage/products/copy-of-wing-kings-tee-front-only

Sounds pretty spot on

How this trade hasn't gained more attention I don't know. If Laurie ends up looking the goods we're laughing. Essentially a freebie on top of Bowey. Ironically enough, Bowey would be a great replacement for Birchall.

In fairness I think Smith is known for being an incredibly hard trainer

Well that was good timing....just posted from the club - “We’ll look at every opportunity to improve our draft hand,” he said. “We’ve been quite active in that space over the past few years, and we’ll do our best to do that again in this period.” https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1023592/trade-period-what-s-next-for-melbourne-

Wonder if we'll try to have a crack

So you're saying it's a done deal?

Hope so, but it'll be difficult this year. Can't match bids within the top 20 picks so fewer sides needs points. And winning the flag means clubs won't be as keen on our future picks. I really hope we do trade into the first round (or at minimum upgrade our pick in the 30s to an earlier second rounder) but it'll be hard.

Interesting when you compare that with Carlton's recycled player count for next year of players projected to be best 22: Cerra, Saad, Williams, Newman, Hewett, Jones, Setterfield, Newnes, Fogarty A total of 9

Heard he's off to Norf as part of a salary dump

Need to find Langdon 2.0. We were keen on Holmes but of course that didn't eventuate, reckon we'll try to look for a similar option this year. Still reckon our biggest flaw (yes I know, we won the flag) is another hard running mid.

Don't forget Ben Brown was!

Someone told me I should look for the '4k edition'. Does anyone know what that means? Is it the winning margin?

Void the flag if we grab Dunstan

Something doesn't add up How were they potentially keen on Treloar last year, and now how a salary cap that's stuffed to the point they're forced to do salary dumps?

Apparently he proceeded to remove his pants to show the cops his Premiership tattoo

Found it on Twitter before, not sure if there are any longer versions in the article tho, can't get through the paywall Dogga argued it was him that changed the momentum in the 3rd, not Brayshaw

Interesting considering he was injured the bulk of the year. But yeah looked class on his draft tapes. Who has been pumping him up to be better than Bowey?

Bit of a selective stat. Plenty of players there are AA quality with no official selection.

What've you heard?

Too good

Weid was pretty good in 2020. I still am somewhat bullish. Good to have him vs T Mac competing for the same spot if nothing else.
