if we do drop him, can he be rookie listed???

could be an option as from the outside looking in, he has tremendous upside & seems to be very coachable...

I'll throw a beer over Ratten if we cut Browne.

Spot on

Has massive upside IMO

Brilliant post. Really hasn't had the opportunities others have had. No ones fault, has been injured at times when he was looking like getting a regular game etc. But seriously.. so much potential and still so young. A lot of players I'd delist before him

Joey definitely gets another year. Doesn't have trade value, and we will be light on medium defenders/midfielders after culling the likes of Bentley, Bentick, Pfeiffer and Bannister.

I believe that Joey has another year on his contract?

We should definately keep him on the list. He's a handy player, just needs to have a good run without injury once he breaks into the team again. At the moment he's a handy backup player to have on the list anyway nearing season's end, you never know what may happen.



My avatar may remind you of this exact mark

whilst there is obvious talent there, we have minimum of 3 draft picks to come in and a mininum of 2 rookie elevations in Joseph and Jacobs. That is assuming Garlett is happy to stay on the rookie list for another year and we don't want to use any more than 3 draft picks nor trade any players in.

5 changes. Bentick, Cloke, Hartlett, and Edwards would be the only definite OUTs in my opinion. someone is going to be stiff. Perhaps Chris Johnson gets the big A... but he is surely contracted as well.

Candidates for the last one (assuming its the minimum of 5 changes)
These candidates I suggest have been on list over 2 seasons and have not secured their place

Ando
Austin
Brown
Grigg
Wiggins
Fisher

One of them has to go whether we like it or not

my personal rating (best to worst) would be

Grigg
Brown
Austin
Wiggins
Ando
Fisher

I believe Fish is contracted and maybe because of where they are at in the careers Ando and Wiggo could swap around. either way if it was to be Wiggo or Ando, they are dead set unlucky to go. If I had the final say, it would be Fisher but I just think contract status saves him. This part of the job would be so bloody hard.

Rookies Promoted: Aaron Joseph, Sam Jacobs, Jeff Garlett
Rookies Retained: Lachlan Hill, Darren Pfeiffer, Luke Stanton
Delisted: Jake Edwards, Adam Bentick, Jordan Bannister, Cameron Cloke, Adam Hartlett, Simon Wiggins.
Re-signed: Setanta O'hAilpin (2 years), Richard Hadley (1 year), Steven Browne (2 years, if not traded).

That gives us 3 roster openings as well as allowing for 5 rookies to be added to the list without trades.

As much as people want to keep our draft picks this season I really feel that Carlton should trade them IF they get good value in return. We're at a stage in our development where we are very close to being able to take the next step. If we had to trade say a depth/developmental player (say a Grigg or a Browne) and our first round pick to secure a young gun player such as Travis Boak from Port Power then I'd do it. I'd also trade our second and third round selections if we could secure a player who would be an immediate selection into our best 18 and is young enough to be a long-term solution.

Anderson is definitely a part of Carlton's future. I believe he can become a heck of a player in a year or two. I would not give up on him. In fact, I'd be extending his contract a further year or two when he comes up for re-signing next year. Note that the only players competing with him at his position that are younger are Browne and potentially Rhys O'Keeffe. The only players on our list younger than him getting a regular game are Gibbs, Kreuz, Robbo and AJ (two of them were the #1 picks in the draft!)

please don't call it a roster

Ytoojae, carlton has to utilise a minimum have 3 draft picks in the National Draft. This is an AFL rule. No way around it. On occasions teams have delisted and then redrafted someone to get around it, but of course you run the risk of another club selecting your man and there is nothing you can do about it

I think that joey is defininetly apart of our future club structure.

Unfortunately for joey army and he are fighting for the same spot.

If the whisper is true that army has done his ankle then ando must come in and take this golden oppurtunity with both hands.

Really rate joey his attack,courage and willingness 2 run and carry are some great qualities 2 have.

Give em hell!

There is no need to promote Garlett yet, he can be a nominated rookie next year. I dont think there will be too many changes to our list this year.
