Walsh has been carrying a hip injury for certain for over a month….it was reported as such at the time.

We wouldn’t be playing him if his back was compromised.

A little bit catastrophic to suggest his days are numbered

Jesus.... That's a beauty

To even arrive at the idea is some 'activities need to be monitored' type of stuff... but to then think you could package him up, busted as he is, for one of the premier mids in the comp...

Do all of your hats have propellers on them, or it that just the dress uniform?

Walsh plus a 1st/2nd round for Bailey Smith is bloody insane.

Am I seriously the only one here who doesn't believe in BS?

well, well, well... if it's not the biggest bellend in bendigo on another crusade.


it's a shame the olympics are over and that thread has died... it was nice in the carlton part of the board not having to scroll through tons of your insights and superior knowledge you clearly have over everyone else.

lol the brains of bendigo.



in all seriousness tho... there'll be a team out there that'd look at our incompetent HP dept, our injuries list and take a run at a 23 yr old former #1 walsh thinking they can fix him and get him on the park. if they can get him for 70 cents in the dollar & some picks, i guarantee we could deal him.

if they have a disgruntled mid like butters or smith ... maybe we can get them.

maybe? i think he's a gun and his best is as good as anyone getting around. he doesn't like bevo, so i'm not even sure we've seen his best.


edit: i meant a 1st or a 2nd, not both, btw ...

No and some of our supporters…..

Let's not forget Walsh was awarded the best player in last years finals series. When he's fit, he's a gun. You don't get rid of young players of that quality.
Not to mention the impact it would have on morale. You can't break players down and then flick them after you've wrecked them. We'd have players walking out the door.
Our best players are still in their prime. Yes we've had a shit finish to the year but we've been decimated by injury. We don't need wholesale changes. A key defender and a mid with pace would transform our side. We've got all the other bases covered.
Let's hope the list management team are doing their ground work now.

Agree
He's got some go in him Liam. Loves a goal and is a competitor.

I have to admit, I thought he was a certainty this midseason draft.

i'm in the thinking we need a morale & cultural shift ... we didn't wreck sam, he kinda does it himself. a few people around his back rehab had to clip his wings and ground him bcos he overtrains and runs himself into the ground. he was allowed to do that again this last offseason. his back was an overuse/ stress reaction - and this year has been a write off for him.

but i'm that impatient and sick of fkn losing, so i'm ready to really throw all the dice in the air and try something. generational spine, and we're watching it go to waste. we're more st kilda right now and for the last two decades, and i want to be carlton. to borrow vince lombardi - i wanna break some eggs to make the omelette


zac butters wants out of port, i'm trying to make that happen at all costs - even if i'm paying overs.

probably a good thing i'm not allowed anywhere near the carlton front office

Not sure how good this posters info is these days.
Marc Shmurf 3 on BF saying we have met with Petracca.

Being Capt Obvious..............From a mate who is very close to the family...........It should come as no surprise that the Trac's parents are not happy with Melbourne. His mother is furious.

Trac is frustrated with a number of things, including the culture of a small group who aren't as professional as he would like.

My mate doesn't think he will leave because the cost would be so high for another club i.e. Wages and Trade pick costs.

I think it would be bigger than the Judd trade. He's 28 so probably got 4-5 good years. A team would almost have to give up 2 years worth of 1st round draft picks for him.

We sold the house for Judd and it almost worked. It might have been worth it then, owing to the Club's position, but I don't think it would be now. We have 6 Top end players to build a team around. Is a 7th one going to make all the difference?

Sure I would love him, but I worry it just wrecks a club for the long term if the success doesn't come.

I would love us to take a long hard look at Barrass. A Barrass/Weitering duo is more exciting to me.

Regards Cazzesman

Yeah, I fear that pursuing Petracca would be another case of us going for the Last Big Thing instead of the Next Big Thing. Something was mentioned on ABC AFL Daily about him suffering some emotional trauma around his injuries, which is a red flag. Butters is the pony to bet on if rumours are true that he wants out. I really think next season is our last chance to swing for the fences on this squad, and realistically I don't think it's gonna happen, so any deal that involves big draft sacrifices on a short term asset is not one I'd support.

Yeah I'd have question marks over how he's going to be post-injury. Some players are just never the same and that was a life changing injury.

Same

Got a feeling if he goes anywhere it'll be Pies

it is right mick ... he wants to be back in vicco, not happy in adelaide.

Get......he's exactly what our midfield needs.
I reckon we'd have to trade something of value to get him though, especially to clear cap space.
