    He should be at the Gold Coast. Or somewhere else that isn't Carlton and isn't us. We had our shot, we missed...we move along.
    Yeh I doubt it’ll happen. Would have no issue w the optics of it if it did though
    The dam wall has busted!

        I don't like the idea of the cheats pushing top 8 next year and Martin would certainly help that cause.
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Despite offering Jack Newnes a 2 year deal during the season, they've decided to delist him and allow him to move to Carlton as a delisted free agent after no deal was done during the trade period for him. This move allows Carlton to keep their PSD spot open for Martin and still get Newnes free.
            I'm confused. What does picking up Newnes as a DFA have to do with Martin?

            PSD spots are contingent on list spots being available.

                The idea being if he wasn't delisted Carlton would have had to risk someone else picking him up in the PSD between the first and second picks I assume. Doesn't really change that they'd surely pick Martin first anyway.

                    I have to say I'm not too fussed about these machinations with Martin. Carlton still have to pay his wage. It's all yelling into the wind. Martin wants to play there and the Blues are willing to pay him what he wants. My understanding is that we had cooled significantly on Jack. So trust I guess and good luck to the Blues. Their recent history doesn't fill me with confidence around their decision making.
                    BT COME BACK!​

                        You think they are a chance of making the 8 next year?
                        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
