2020 trading, drafting and list management: players and personnel

[Markwebbos]

I just read online that Zac Williams is going to Carlton on $900k p.a. for 5 years. Crazy money! They also mentioned that our Papps knocked back $800k p.a. from them. Wow!

Robbo described Carlton’s manoeuvre as a “panic buy” which puts him in the same fiscal ballpark as: Fyfe, Buddy, Danger, Cripps, Dusty etc.

At least Williams will be closer to his sister!

They are allegedly paying (the Wrong) McGovern $750k a year

If true, Carlton are betting the farm on immediate flag but detrimentally to their future. They must be frustrated they can't make the 8 let alone progress through finals. That's a lot of cap on some not so great players.

SYDNEY SWANS

Lewis Taylor - Brought in from Brisbane for pick 48 and would’ve provided handy backup if Tom Papley went down or left the club. Neither have happened and as such has been starved for opportunity. Nine games this season, but the only real notable one was Round 2’s loss to Essendon where he booted three goals and looked dangerous. Injured in Round 17 and didn’t return.

Brown is a one trick pony, and has never kicked goals against us because we know how to counter his one trick.

I’m not arguing for us to get him, just that he probably deserves a bit more credit.

Yes he has his limitations, but he’s averaged around 3 goals a game for the 3 seasons prior to this one, it’s a pretty decent trick. Consistent multiple goal scorers are the rarest commodity in our game.

Say we were interested though ( I think he’s maybe slightly too old for our list profile) what about this - our futures first round pick for norths future second and Brown ? Maybe we throw in Ronke too, they need a small forward. Is that an acceptable deal for North I wonder?

Offer North Reid and Ronke plus 3rd round pic for Brown?

[KTigers]

I would take Brown over Daniher. At least Brown seems to want to play football. And on North Melbourne; do they have any
players left? perhaps they are folding. I mean the Jobkeeper payment is going down next week from $750 a week to $600.
Might be a good time to chuck it in.

[Markwebbos]

Norf have put themselves in a really weak negotiating position with Brown and Polec.

I think they’ll take whatever they can get as no one expects either to be there next year.

Shaw May have his eye on a Swans player(s), but probably one we want to keep.

I’d rather give up fringe players than high draft picks, obvs, but I don’t think we’d be interested.

Interestingly, Ross Lyon just said on Footy Classfied that we are closer to our next flag than Carlton!
.

and Ross Lyon knows about being close to a flag

I hope someone picks a key position before us, just hope wr grab an A grade Mid.

Look at Freo a few years back with Cerra and Bradshaw, you cant deny top end talent

[Captain]

Ross Lyon also said we should be into Cameron.

I was actually thinking that the other day as well.

We should be throwing the kitchen sink at him!

I think our kitchen sink is still over at Buddy's house for the next couple years.

Is there enough room on the SCG for Ben Brown to take his run up?

[Ludwig]

Well that’s ok, because he’d be playing with us, not against us. The bigger problem is on the short dimensions of the SCG Ben Brown’s set shot run up would start somewhere between full back and center half back!

More like between the Parking Lot and the Opera House.

[caj23]

Ben brown officially on the market. Guy kicked 60 + goals three years in a row, he’s no mug. North would probably want a first rounder though

No thanks, he's the slowest guy in the AFL and is a liability if he doesn't take the mark. He's probably worth 3 goals to the opposition going the other way which negates anything he contributes.

I feel nauseous whenever he giraffe gallops in for 100 metres to kick at the sticks. I'd stop watching if he played for us, he's sickeningly comical.

Pick 3, best available, Campbell, Gulden, fairly simple injection of top end talent for 2021 to add to new recruits, Buddy, Rampe and Heeney

That gets added to the $1mill man Jack Martin. Is Carlton once again not subject to a Salary Cap, like in the early 2000's :-)
