It's the vibe.

I tend to agree with rhino, if that's the vibe from the AFL

Poster on BF says Charlie likely to sign a new contract before the end of the year. Harry's negotiations may go into next year but confident both will stay long term.

So it sounds like we’re going to get reamed again.

O'briens an elite ball user? You also need to be able to get the ball in the first place under any circumstances and then use it elitely under any circumstances

Rumour that he is coming?

Or rumour he will come cheap? (I can't see any way he would not be cheap)

Maybe rumour he is an elite ball user (we all know he is a good kick, just watch the games!)

But he is also in and out of a lowly side and has been on the stage for a few years now

I see this is a desperate and stupid move if this is true

With respect we already have LOB

late picks ,rookie picks ask tigers how important to get that selection correct.

Carlton eligible for compensation on Liam Jones

Carlton will be eligible for draft compensation for Liam Jones, with the AFL ruling that the key defender will be classified as a free agent at the end of this season.

Sources with knowledge of the move have confirmed that Jones, who quit the Blues and AFL football before this season because of an unwillingness to be vaccinated, is expected to join the Western Bulldogs, his old team, on a three-year deal.

Depending on the size of the contract, Carlton would therefore be entitled to draft compensation for losing a free agent. The Dogs are set to give him three years to accommodate his wage under the salary cap, spreading the money out over three seasons rather than two.

Fair enough. Take the 3rd rounder and don't look back!

Good news I reckon

The last couple of lines......brace yourselves fellow baggers.

So we lose Jones who probably only had 2 or 3 decent years left and who was a bit of a turnover merchant and in exchange pick up a kid late in the draft who is a 5% chance of playing 100 games

Move on guys

I was over Jones the day I heard he was anti vax

A second rounder for Jones would be great.

Gives us 12, 30, 31, 62, 66

We can bring in some good talent to build up our list

How are we getting a 2nd rounder?

A first rounder would be even better. But we're not getting either.

A 3rd rounder and a 'don't say we never give you anything' pat on the head is the go

Don’t think we will get a second rounder

Take third rounder and run we all remember Waite and how we were aap Reutered

Well done to the club for working on this and secondly recruiting young who is 10 years younger than Jones after he effectively walked out this is what a good professional well won club does

We will probably get the Jarrad Waite deal

Cheats never prosper (except in the AFL)

hope our recruiters nail the compensation pick like syd ,hawks and tigers.

I hope we pick well as it can make a massive difference especially to a list that should be top 4 next year.

That's right, the lean years where we had zero 22-28 year olds on our list must be fresh in everyone's mind. That age profile is serving us really well this year and is fundamental to growth, so smart drafting now needs to be our production line for the future.

Bringing a pick 30 or 40 into a strong list and culture is not something we've been able to do for 20+ years.

Do this right and we can win, develop, and have sustained success.
