    Re: Malthouse 'so excited' by Blues' trade bargains

    One thing history does is repeat itself.

    Carlton over and again go for stop gap approaches and never fully buy in to modern rebuilding. They will not go anywhere picking up rejects from the Western Bulldogs.

    Mick is an old coach hanging on to his career and big salary. The sooner he goes from Carlton and the board's clean leadership can get things going in another direction the better.

    What a stupid and delusional football club. They are so lucky they have dumbarse supporters it isn't funny.

    Roughead if he plays back takes Casboult. Talia on Henderson. Morris on Jones.

    Or Lake, Frawley, Gibson on Jones.

    Good luck with that if that's the trade to a premiership....

    ... That's what I should've said... Liam Jones last game was the only premiership he will play in. Or the the deluded jerk store called, and they're running out of Mick.

    Both are trading off reputation in under 18's footy.

    I don't see the problem. We're talking up a guy who was delisted pretty much the same way. Carlton are hardly going to come out and say he's got a ton of work to do, well behind the rest etc etc. That's not the case anyway, Liam's put a ton of work in this offseason and I expected him to hit the ground running when he got there. I still think we lost a very handy player in Jones and we got stuff all for him.

    Think what could have been, if only we had thought to work on his high jump and not his long jump.

    That's all well and good, but are they working on Liam's propensity to be easily brushed aside by a decent quality backmen?
    I think Jones will start well and the media will jump all over the fact we let him go, but let's see how it's going after the honeymoon.
    Will he ever have a decent enough second and third effort to cut it at Afl level.

    I know its only training I've witnessed, but I'm pretty confident by this time next year people won't be referring to Caleb Daniel as "stuff all".

    Yep, from the sessions I've seen, I have the exact same impression of Shorty Daniel. I am very pleased with the look of him.

    We didn't get Daniel for Jones we got #46. It gave us an opportunity to draft him but that pick could have been anyone. We put so any years into Liam and being a KPF with a fair amount of talent that was a real poor return for him. Carlton got a steal, we'd be over the moon if it was Jones coming here and #46 going out.

    Sorry G-Mo but I can't agree. Jones had plenty of chances and just lacks the mental capacity to impose himself on games. He drops his bundle easily and even his form in the VFL finals showed that he wants to play on his terms.

    For Carlton he is a good fit replacing Mr Potential (Waite) with another inferior version.

    Summed up well. While losing players like Griffen and Cooney hurt us they have both played their best football with us and won't get any better with their new sides. They might still play good football but we had them at their best.

    In comparison, losing Jones who I don't think has reached his potential and it will hurt us more if he plays his best at Carlton. The fact that having him playing alongside of Tom Boyd would have been a great tall forward duo for us as well. Jones was also the ideal forward to provide Minson a chop out during the games.

    I think we will miss him a bit more than we really know.
