That is if you actually think we are that close to a flag that we only need one player to go the next step. IMO it is very dangerous to think that why; if you do give up a lot for someone like Kerr and then someone gets injured or players lose form you are back to the pack and no where near a flag. You are also losing depth for one player.

IMO we still have a long way to go before we can challenge. I hope those in charge don't give up Walker and/or a first rounder for Kerr because they think we are close...hopefully we don't go back to the old Carlton way of quick fixes and instead keep developing our own.


I agree Effes and would only consider giving up our first pick on a quality young player without any significant injury or personality issues. Obviously it is unlikely that this would occur and if so we would probably be competing with other clubs and have to pay above market value.

At the end next year hopefully we will be in a position where we can confidently say that we are only 1 or 2 players away from challenging for the flag.

We don't need Kerr.

Injury prone, suspensions and questionable character are not traits we need at our club.

With Houli and hopefully Hadley back late this year and next year they will bring some skill with them.

We can't have Bentick and Caraz in the same team ever again going forward. They are the same player. Good ball finders but have a short kick and average skills. One to be traded. I prefer to keep Caraz.

It vote we push on with getting young talant in the draft.

All we will be able to do shortly is trade as the draft will be taken over by the two new teams.

This year we must get kids and this will ensure a sustained time at the top where we belong.
