Dumb comment Holz unless you're taking the piss, which you suck at.

Summary of some dude's summary of Andrew McKay on trade radio;

Most quotes, McKay said more water under the bridge about 50 times. :P

Carlisle; a little cagey about Carlisle, entertaining the idea, would like him.

Yarran; happy to trade for the round pick right pick, contracted and 100% fixed on only trading for first rounder. We have cards up our sleeves with contract, deal has to favour us, make no mistakes. No deal if not a first rounder.

Aish; not ruling him out.

Menzel; contracted and not going anywhere.

Tomlinson' hasn't been pursued, good player, would like him.

Henderson; confident about first rounder, in discussions. Geelong haven't indicated that a first round pick won't be there for Hendo.

Sumner; had a chat last week, could be interested, more water under the bridge.

Plowman; good player, love to have him, that water is flowing still and the tip of the iceberg gets a run.

JWalker; possibility, no real discussions.

Armfield; numbers game, list spots right, would like to keep, no guarantees, hopeful we will keep him.


Also apparently meant with Carlilse in the last 24 hours, he wants a 5 year deal but Blues concerned with longer deals. They want him but length is a sticking point, not dollars. His club of choice expected to get out in the next 48 hours.

I would rather develop youth than pursue Carlisle, and don't see a real need for Walker either.

They're not exactly old?

On talent Carlisle is a good move, I don't like his attitude but he has a very good player.

unless you are tanking there is no reason why you wouldn't want Carlisle and Walker as youth with experience. Both players would be best 22 and improve the squad and will be around for years.

I would love Carslile at half back and Walker as our second forward behind Casboult. add Weightering at full back and we have a solid line up in the talls ...

           Weightering
             Carslile
              Gibbs
              Walker
             Casboult
Kreuzer, Cripps, Murphy

That looks good to me ...

Carlisle and Walker, yes they are young, but the obviously won't be anything truly fantastic.
At least with someone unknown could become a genuinely decent player.
It is merely my thoughts, but I feel like Walker and Carlisle would be recycled duds.

I disagree I think Carslile has potential to be an All Australian CHB
And Walker will be a solid forward (not amazing but solid)
