How many spots are there to fill on our senior list?
Eddie in and assuming Papley and Martin.
Rucks one in, one out

Can’t wait to see Blue fans in raptures seeing Stocker, Papley, Martin and Eddie all running onto the ground against Adelaide...

Regardless of the outcome tonight, I think the time is right for SOS to step away given there'll likely be three Silvagni's on the list late next year and that just creates a very awkward situation to handle.

He's done an outstanding job so far in my opinion and stepping away on good terms always allows him to return sometime down the track if circumstances require.

I'm surprised to see read you think "He's done an outstanding job so far in my opinion".

I thought you had question marks on his performance thus far.

nope, If he's the best man for the job, then I don't care about the other stuff. He can step out of the room when his kids are being discussed.

Once again disappointed sure about not getting Papely and Martin but it’s hardly Armageddon

We keep pick 9 (hopefully get a young gun ) got a younger back up ruckman in Pittonet
May also get Newnes as DFA and maybe Martin in PSD

So despite the assurances by 'those in the know', we end up with egg on our face.
It just goes to show that they are guessing just as much as the rest of us. They know who they are.

Martin and 15 for 9 was the deal SOS knocked back for Martin. Now we have to get him through the PSD. Maybe.
Papley should have been assured given we went hard for him. If he is so good, we could have offered 9 with nothing back or 9 and something.

Meanwhile. StK, one of the clubs we love to take the piss out of, got all five of their targets.

The Eddie positive press is now nullified. AFL trade radio talking about the Carlton pattern of not getting what they want.

As I posted a week ago, I thought the clubs are sick of players coming and going and will push back.

This is nothing short of an absolute disaster.

The feature article:

"DISASTER FOR BLUES: NO DEAL FOR TWO TOP TRADE TARGETS"

Below that, the feature video:
"Shattered Silvagni after Carlton's disastrous outcome."


This is the disaster more than missing the players we wanted.
We are being portrayed in the headlines as incompetent.
