The only way for him to go to Carlton is for him to nominate for the national draft, the swans using their low picks on 'yoof' and the blues to pick him prior to the swans pick 38.

      Yes I did. .

      After having gone and had a look at the national draft order, the only pick Carlton have ahead of us is pick 12(assuming we use 6 on a youngster, also pick 14 on a youngster for that matter), then their next pick is in the forty's, well after our pick 38. Surely they wouldn't use pick 12 on Bradshaw and not on 'yoof'??

        Sydney won't take him in the PSD if he nominates Carlton as his preferred destination.

          The mental giants at the carlton big footy site are all celebrating now that Bradshaw will nominate them.

          Well, it would have been an advantage having him at the Swans but only if he was on the field and not on the bench with injury.

          I'm sure the Swans have an alternative option. They have my full trust to do the right thing for the Club.

          Perhaps kernahan sang him into submission.

                Did we? Where's the announcement? Or is this just Calton bluster?

                  The dills are just relying on SEN's assumption.

                    For that smashdown alone, please Braddles make up your mind and come to Sydney. Weathers nice. Food's good. Club ok.

                      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                        Well Carlton obivously thought they had lost him to make another trip to Brisbane with a revised offer.

                        They even threw in a threat that playing in Sydney would mean more travel and less time with the family. How desperate is that?

                        If he does choose Carlton over us we won't be barstards about the whole thing and take him with the earlier PSD pick. It;s not how we operate and nor should we.

                            Weekend to think about the offers again.

                            Kennelly will be back before he decides where he is going.

                            Carlton have offered:

                            1. to move his family into Pratt's house. Mrs Pratt has shared it with old Dick's mistresses in the past, why not a star forward for the next three years. At least this option is reputable and dignified;

                            2. Free mocassins for the kids;

                            3. Chrissy Judd wall poster for the kids;

                            4. Rebecca Quigley poster for Daniel;

                            5. Full WAG's pass for Mrs Bradshaw.

                            6. Stephan Kernahan to record a 7 volume CD set with him singing Sinatra, Martin, Crosby and Pinks greatest hits - a family gift;

                            7. The No 25 jumper and a truckload of beer;

                            8. Underbelly tour of famous sites;

                            9. A spot on the AFL Footy Show;

                            10. A retirement fund.


                            Swans have offered:

                            1. Copy of Roosy's new book.
