What gets my goat is how the media fuel (pour about 20 litres on the bonfire) this whole friggin circus.

So the leading sentence for Fox Sports is

"Gold Coast coach Damien Hardwick has been urged to make a “ruthless decision” on his club’s pursuit of wantaway Blues star Charlie Curnow."

URGED? Urged by whom? the media? "wantaway"...kind of puts a demeaning tone on it all.

"Think about the elite delivery into the forward line by... Bailey Humphrey" (Never mind the fact he's got a kicking efficiency rating of 56.6) "It would be delivered on a silver platter"
Well this writer doesn't know that AS A FACT as we don't know if injuries, if lack of form if game style changes mean there is more pressure on their mids.... so this is purely speculation.

"It looks like they will have to part with one of Walter or Read." One? And that's it? Are these people in the media demented?

Who is setting the trading scenario? The media?

They seem to breathlessly feed this feeding shark frenzy with little to no basis in what Charlie Curnow is worth. I wish they would just shut up for a week or two at least.

A Hard no to May get someone like Blight for nothing 23 years old got 17 possessions in last match against the Cats
196 cms fill in whilst HOF recovers

Yes we should push for Walter in any trade with GC

Rated May highly a few years ago

But god he was terrible in that Coll game at the end of the season

He probably had already checked out like our dear Charlie.

I find it interesting that posters the last couple of weeks were screaming for some mongrel back in the side but players like Elliot and May are now the wrong kind of mongrel.
Maybe we need some 'vanilla' mongrels!

We are Carlton. We dont like trouble makers or mongrels. We love gorgeous players, who all love eachother, and dont like any negativity. Or else they get sad sad and dont wanna play anymore. Hmmmmmm

You make a very compelling argument Cru

If we're going to bring in players over 30 then they need to come cheap like Nick Haynes.

His club has asked him to look elsewhere, he could be pretty cheap.

The bloke is a froot loop. We've just told one disruptive player to move on. Why bring in another?
He's well past his best and he has serious issues. Look elsewhere.

I think it's a yes from me. Just needs to enjoy his footy again. I couldn't stand playing in a team with the pretentious wankers he's had to put up with the last few years. Goodwin, Petracca, Viney and Gawn. Not to mention Oliver! Then there's the supporter base...FFS - no wonder he drinks! Still has a couple of years in the tank. Reckon he'd complement Weiters. IF Melbourne pays some of his $$, it's a definite yes.

The current captain would be all for it. He’s certainly not interested in fighting the cauliflower.
