So if we make a GF and Stengle for example played for us, there would not be any discussion about his current absence, or his past issues. The media plays favourites, always has and always will. That being said, we just have to win games and get ourselves back to relevancy.

Of that list, our need would probably be more for the worst player on it, Ah Mu. I note that Jacob Blight, whose type I now see as a need, wasn’t mentioned. Wish Derksen was still there, as he has potential and would fill a hole on the list. Tom Mc likely retires at the end of this season and I am unsure about Adams. Wonder if there is an available potential key back somewhere out there. I would also have had a chat with TC, who will also probably retire at the end of this season, who could still play with Casey anyway and allow us another pick now or mid season

I am hoping for just bruising and available round one. Well I can hope.

Would think Heath would play against Saints and gives Max cover and another tall forward.

Know how you feel Picket. Terrible bad luck for the kid in the year he was needing to show something. Hopefully he can get back in the side mid year and play some good football.

There you have it.

I like the last bit that Caulfield is our only focus and the words “sorting it’s Caulfield plans,” which indicates to me that we are going there, but with some details to be finalised. That is probably as encouraging as we are getting at the moment. If we haven’t got a club update by late March, I am possibly attending a MFC supporter group function with King, Guerra and Steven Smith, who I have known for 50 years and I will definitely pump him and Guerra for any info that can be shared with DL.

I think we are now being driven stat crazy. I am content with one stat, highest score at the end of the game.

Yes you have and just to diverge back to the footy, it looks like we have a couple of days to make list changes, if we want to take another player by March 3.

Nice post LG.

Yep and I am not liking the pre season happiness at Carlton. A first round thumping Blues’ loss would settle my discomfort.

Interesting to see the reach of football, now into the fruit market.

Also Young and Kemp. Will be disappointed if he becomes a good player for Carlton, as we had him if we made a spot.

And they have Weitering, Farrell, Dean, McGovern and others.

Stand by for the huge contract extension for Nick Daicos. He is obviously angling for it, after floating interest in the Tassie Devils.

That’s why I suggested Jacob Blight.

Can we get back to important things like bananas? 🍌

So therefore we were equal with everyone else for facilities. We aren’t now, we are last.

Just to be clear, I didn’t start the thread to criticise the Walsh deal, but rather to say that Cornes, if being consistent, would attack Carlton over it. Whether it’s a good deal for Carlton will become evident in the years to come.

When was the last time you saw 30 racehorses in a race at Caulfield and all running together, stretched across the track, at any point in a race? That is the only way your scenario could exist. Why would heavy club machinery, other than lawnmowers need to go over the tunnel area? Where did you get the figure of $20m for a tunnel under the track from?

Kane Cornes will surely slam the Sam Walsh 8 year extension after 2026 as the worst player contract in AFL history. Effectively a 9 year contract including this season. Stand by.

We well may, speaking of whom, probably needed to be replaced. The Blues took Derksen even with Weitering, Farrell, Dean and McGovern among others. Maybe Jacob Blight could be looked at and possibly AJ could also be developed as key back depth, if they feel Adams is not going to make it. It is an area for us to look at with May and Tom Mc not part of next year’s planning and Lever entering his 30’s.

If you don’t think facilities matter, read the Herald article on Carlton’s new facilities.

At least my horses would travel slowly.

When we know that the players dislike going out there.
