Henderson is 50/50. Waite and Duigan will both be another week Yarran will play Waitey's back hasn't responded to treatment as well as we would have liked It looks like Collins will get up The Power are up. A lot of their players are getting back to their best We could have been sharper defensively last weekend. 50 inside-50s isn't bad, but we can improve It's great to see blokes grabbing their opportunities. I guess that's one positive to come out of all these injuries It's great to see Brock playing to his strengths. Maybe we made the wrong decision in dropping him after the Essendon* game We'll keep playing the three ruckmen Travis Boak is a very good player. We'd be interested in having a chat if he was looking at moving back home |

Given he had 8 clearances(the team had 38 from memory) in that game and we have been smashed in the clearnaces in all the games except Melbourne since.  He was far from the worst that day too.

He was far from the worst that day too.They were worried taking him to Perth. We go the win. Their worries may have been justified......we will never know. Turns out he would have been handy in the 2 etihad games as Ratts admits. |

Considering I would want a premium...I would reject it in a heart beat. Keep round 1... Gibbs + Russell --> Boak + 2 & 3 rd round picks. |

They will never trade Gibbs. Whole idea is to improve the list not give away a star for a star. There are some that don't rate Gibbs but I do and i reckon the club rate him highly. |

I agree cimm - they need to settle Bryce as an attacking defender IMO - the only way he leaves is if he wants to |

Jon Ralph just called Ratten stupid on SEN. Ralph said Andy McKay told him there is no money in the cap for Carlton to target anyone. Assumed that money saved from Waite & Simmo moving to veteran and getting rid of Brock will be used for Kreuzer and Gibbs (plus I assume any front loading of Murphy). So we can forget about Boak and any other strong player coming next year. Quite disappointing if true. I think we are 1-2 players short of a flag. |

It was silly of Ratts because now big K and Gibbs manager know they can dig in for more cash. Mckay would be spreading the word we have no space to push through some contracts then at trade time we will have some loose cash. |

Yep, Bomber Thompson know how to spin the company line, re Ryder and Stanton, but Ratt's stuffed it. It looked to me like Ratt's was having a thought bubble moment, started answering the question and right at the end he say's "but that's something Andy McKay looks after, behind the scenes" Doh!!. If you believe Ratt's was instrumental in the Brock deal, you can almost see the same thought process, without the Andy McKay part. Just on the relationship between Ratt's and Andy, on EMT Ratt's did an interview and described the "discussions" he and McKay had had since he arrived. I got the distinct impression that there had been some conflict. |
