Not sure about that but here's some good news: he came back from his ACL rupture in only 318 days. That's about 47 days earlier than one might expect... 48 on a leap year! With powers of recovery like these, we'd be mad not to sign him.

I like Jack Carroll, but… if list spots are so tight, I could get behind the idea of trading him to Freo (for example), in return for some draft capital.

Obviously, we don’t want to be using our first pick on a Camporeale, but we also can’t be getting carried away with the idea that we’ll land another player before the twins. At least, not until a spot opens up.

There are seven players on the primary list without a deal for next season.

E.Hollands, Fogarty & Owies will get deals done. Owies’ value has taken a hit since Williams has gone forward. But, he’s daylight ahead of the other smalls that have contracts.

Marchbank & Cuningham need a miracle. Martin too - especially if the Williams move continues to pay off.

Jack Carroll needs a home where he can be a defensive rebounder that can pinch hit in the middle. Cripps, Hewett & Kennedy might be getting on, but they’re still 4-5 years away from the end.

I like Jack Carroll too - I think he’s still a WIP - he can serve a bit of an apprenticeship (similar to Mitch Duncan did at Geelong - before he established himself in the senior team.

I can't see Carroll getting a gig anywhere as a defensive rebounder. His skills are well short of the mark. He needs to improve his ball winning and make it as an inside mid or a tagger, otherwise he's gone IMHO.

Trade bait???
What's he worth?

Unless I’ve missed something obvious, the 2025 rookie list will be:

Cat. A
Cincotta - Final year
O’Keeffe - Final year
M.Carroll - 2nd year
Lord - 1st year


Cat. B - International
Monahan - 2nd year
Duffy - 1st year

trade owies if we get a deal that we like ,no hesitation

4th round pick swap it is!

What price a small forward that isn’t quick or evasive & can’t crumb?

Hat tip to Corey Durdin’s management. Got the job done before Williams presented as a live option.

Well said Argo. Problem is our supporters can’t be patient for kids to develop. Granted our developement has been embarrassing the last few years but we need to learn to develop and give kids time. Sydney and Geelong are the clubs we need to learn from when in comes to kid development.

As for some others mentioned in here, you can’t beat TALENT. People wanted Williams delisted just 2 weeks ago.

austin recruit some1 with pace breakaway speed ,just watch F.../.....k swans i cant find a slow mid , hollands E is ok but 1 paced

Sorry but I can't see any difference in your before and after....

hey dannyboy just tell me 1 player that is playing really well /standout from our reserves ,yes i know Binns but he needs to find about 5 kg of muscle . so is there anyone we could bring into senior side ?

we brought Cincotta in already
we brought Fog in (remember when some had him as a poor preservers player) - no afl traits or some such)
brought in Cowan
could play Binns again

Martin, Marchbank, Motlop, Cunningham, Fantasia, Young and Pitto will/have played games
Durdin/Wilson may get a game if we need them. - there's thirteen. I'm happy with that.

Plus the irish lad and Moir developing and now Lord (when he is fit) developing.

Doc, Sos and M. Caroll can't be considered yet.

Fantasia: hard agreement.

Williams; you’d probably want to take that kick again in hind sight!
