    What more you can do than offer 3 picks in the 20s for a Coleman medallist?

    Maybe offer something realistic?

      He's worth a lot isn't he? Surely the Cats could look at trading a player for another selection.

        If they packaged them the best they'd get is probably a top 5?

        It's tough they don't have a hand, so I guess that's what I mean this is their best hand pretty much.

          They do have players they could trade. They just don’t want to.

            It's hard. The player has to want to move.
            How do you sell Carlton to a Brad Close or something.

              I don't get the Curnow hype. Good player but asking for Butters-like picks is well overs imo.
              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                What do woofers think we’d think twice about for Naughts? I love Naughts and reckon he & Curnow are possibly similar in value. When on song both are almost unstoppable. From my limited viewing of Curnow I think Naughts is the better ground ball & possibly pressure player, Curnow perhaps a more reliable one grab mark player. I’d think 2 high first rounders & a lower first round or high second round.

                PS I think Naughts is a must keep, not only for his playing abilities but also his character and leadership qualities. He’s also a member/fan favourite (as I think Curnow is for Blues).

                And we'll have everything.

                  You have to factor in that he is also one of the tow main faces of the club. Every promo they put out has him front and centre with Cripps. He would most likely be seen as the #1 or #2 favourite player, particularly with kids.

                  That is hard to put a price on.

                      His value is what Carlton says it is, and is based on:

                      - $$$$ - High
                      - Age - Good
                      CV - Elite for a key forward, All AA, Coleman winner
                      - Years left on his contract

                      You want him, you have to pay over to get him out of the contract.

                        So hawks have offered pick 9 and next year's 1st (along with other stuff) for Merrett.

                        They and Geelong have now offered future 1sts. Does this show that they're not intending to be in the market for a Butters bid next year?

                        Am I just setting myself up for disappointment?

                            I posted a snippet earlier this morning in the wrong thread.

                            Chad Cornes was on SEN Breakfast this morning with his brother and Sam Edmund. Edmund asked Chad where he thought Butters might end up. He didn't hesitate in replying that "Butters loves the Bulldogs... Hardcore Bulldog supporter". He didn't seem to have much doubt where he thought Butters was going.

                                I commented on your post in the other thread , but i'll comment again here , Butters is a must , an absolute must , if he decides we are his side next year we instantly become a top 4 side i have no doubt , so i hope and pray that Corne's mail is spot on and Butters loves us , Because we love him .
