What’s he on…?


kindest regards tommi

And we don’t know what competitive forces prompt us to sign him now.

If we step away from length of contract, there is no doubt every reason he should be on our list

He's contracted. You don't have to offer anything.
Wait a 4-6 weeks to see how he performs in his second year. Obviously I wasn't as impressed as you were last year. His marking is good but his intensity is poor at times and he's jittery with the ball.
If he performs well early in the season, offer him an extra 2 years but I don't understand the rush.

I bet it’s Around 300-350K.


He might be worth more and cost us more in 6 weeks time when the season gets going and his manager starts receiving calls from other clubs.

For all we know he maybe after some security to buy a new house or something

As BV has said he lacks intensity and his decision making is poor at times
To offer him a 3 year contract extension before the season starts makes no sense
But there is a history of this sort of practice at Carlton over the last quarter of a century
It simply doesn’t make any sense
He would need to improve significantly to be on our list for the next 4 years
For some reason there is a history of this club overrating players and offering long contracts
And in some instances some players who showed something then got the chop
Maybe I am just a shit judge of a footballer
Holman Tuohy there is two
Cuningham didn’t deserve a 3 year deal based on his output previously
When he has been fit he hasn’t delivered enough
As I have said repeatedly our depth is questionable
Keeping guys like Cuningham Dow O’Brien Plowman on your list for so long is frankly poor list management

Ridiculous. Can’t we wait to see how their bodies hold up to a full season first? It’s the Philp situation all over again.

Might take four years to answer that question.

I don’t think we’re allowed to pay them more than the rookie deal. If they’ve got the aptitude and attitude, and they’re content to take a minor bump ($200-250k) for another two, why wait?

Our development team has been shite in the past, but you’ve got to back the considerable investment in. If the hallmark of this new era is that kids who develop between the ears are locked away long enough to see their bodies develop, then it can only be a good thing.

You can’t extend deals based solely on aptitude and attitude - results matter too. Best of luck to Hollands & Cowan, but they were locked in for the next 18 months - there was no need to extend their contracts now. In fact, it takes away a short term performance incentive.

I would have ‘risked’ them surpassing expectations and squeezing more dollars out of us next year instead of committing to them for four years before the real stuff starts in their first season. Opinions on players can change very quickly once the grind of a season kicks in…

I wonder if it will be a syndesmosis injury or a stress fracture they develop now?

Did anyone see Ross Lyon's interview this week?
Apparently Jack went home talking up Anthony Caminiti playing on Weiters in a trial game and SOS latched onto him and dragged him down to Moorabbin.
No surprise

Well, SOS does work for StKilda. Jack might need to be more cautious what he tells him.

He looks like Fev 2.0
I hope he doesn't play like him, we may have missed another nugget.

Caminiti deserved a spot on a list. We didn’t have one - and if we did, it’d be behind Harry & Charlie.

Kudos to Jack for helping a young bloke get a job.
