    That I didn't know. Still, less relevant to him and more to Brendan Julian. Great sense of humour, footballers.

    I think the delisting of someone like Davey would depend on who we're looking at replacing him with (the essence of your post, rpfc). It seems obvious but unless the player in an upgrade on Davey, I'd be keeping him. His skills are still excellent, he just doesn't get enough of it and has lost some pace. I'd be keeping Sellar for depth as well personally.

    At least those are his actual initials. How would Brendan Goddard feel?

    The superstar we originally hoped for was a key position hulking forward. Jack was never going to be that. If he can become consistent, he will become an A grader. Get in now and sign him up on a long term contract.

    Thanks Redleg. Great stuff.
  6. Adam The God
    Please let me know how he goes, PSD.

    I'd say their cap is a big problem. They couldn't fit him in. Since Judd's VISY contract expired, the AFL ensured they followed the rules that the rest of us have to abide. That said, since Judd is a veteran, his contract shouldn't have a big bearing on their cap. But who knows?
  8. Adam The God
    They needed to get the job done with Judd two years ago. Like the Bulldogs, they took too long to address their KPF deficiencies. They've missed it now.

    Interesting theory, if a little far fetched. I don't think Healy is responsible for deliberately flushing out Schwab via McLean. In fact, I'd say he brought a lot of needless pain to the club. Schwab would have lost his job anyway following the Essendon game IMO. Not being a Melbourne person, I can't see his motives in this. I think the McLean thing was his attempt at 'hard hitting journalism'. On The Couch tends to get a few big admissions though. You could say that Essendon may have used it as a forum to test the waters with Watson the other night.

    Exactly. I took rjay's post to mean that PJ had spoken to more than one.

    I'd be offering Jack a four year deal. $450,000 a year for a guy who is about to enter his prime.

    I'd go Garlett too. We have enough leadership in our forwardline alone now that he would be well supported. The move from WA to VIC does worry me though. He seems to be settled now with his girlfriend and her family. What happens when you rip out stability and replace it with high pressure situations and expectations?
  13. Adam The God
    Agree. His pace, skills and decision making seem solid. Could add some more zip alongside Blease.
  14. Adam The God
    Nope. Unfortunately. That'd be nice. I don't anymore. Just that they are the only two being realistically considered.
  15. Adam The God
    Apparently Roos is the only one we've spoken to.
  16. Adam The God
    Their window is closed IMO.

    I just think if you look at the premiership sides of recent times, it's won in the midfield, not by a single full forward. I know you're not saying he'd win it single-handedly, but Carlton's strength is their midfield. If you trade away your best mid with another on the verge of retirement, very quickly it becomes a C grade midfield. However, I think it's worth asking in most of these situations.

    As the team moves forward though, if he's merely a marking highlight reel, that shouldn't cut it if we're serious. If he can bring the work-rate that will enable him to get to reach the Ryan O'Keefe level (nod to rpfc), he will be worthy of being deemed 'untouchable'. I'll admit his marking seems to bring a lot of the kids along, but it doesn't do a great deal for me if that's all he's going to bring. LJ was the same by the end of things. No doubt very talented, but put it or you'll be pushed off.
  19. Adam The God
    Mitch Clark.
  20. Adam The God
    It's Roos or Craig I'm hearing, from a very credible source.
  21. Adam The God
    Yeah, we'd have to be very careful about this.
  22. Adam The God
    I don't think they would, rjay. Murphy holds the key to any hopes they might have of a flag. If they added Boyd and didn't have Murphy in the midfield to deliver it to him, with Judd a year or two away from retirement, they'd have to hope Judd could carry the midfield single-handedly. Not going to happen and Carlton wouldn't be stupid enough to deem this the case.
  23. Adam The God
    Agree. Doesn't work hard enough and lacks discipline - see his numerous attempted hangers inside defensive 50.
  24. Adam The God
    That's true. Concur with you and rpfc on the second point too, nutbean.
  25. Adam The God
    Wow. How was Aish's kick then.
