Footy Classified GF edition

[AndrewP6]

Plenty of PF talk, of course with a lot of it a love-fest for The Aints and The Pussies... The topic of Custard's gifted goal came up, and Hutchy was arguing that said free kick was warranted because the clubs had been warned about this. Garry and Thommo brought up the fact that Lake did the same thing 3 times earlier in the game and nothing happened, and it happens hundreds of times and nothing is called. Hutchy tried to repeat "It was a dumb thing to do" and the other two were insistent that it was a bad call, or "pathetic" according to Thommo.

When asked for his Brownlow pick, Thommo began by saying "Apart from the fact I don't care"... Gold. Laughed so much I didn't even hear who he picked!

And on the subject of Andrejs Everitt, the great Hutchy said "Don't think there's any doubt he's on the move"!!! Are we to take him at his word? Or is he filled to capacity with excrement?... Said CAAAAAAARLTON is most likely...

Hutchy is a complete wanker. He basically just said that Everitt is on the move and is pretty much going no matter what... Hope it's not true.

He also suggested it would be for a top 10 pick, or very close to it. I'd take that, if correct.

I wouldn't because then more development is required and I like Everitt. I want him to play 22 senior games next year including finals!

If we get offered a top 10 pick, I can just about guarantee that Everitt will not be at the Kennel next year.

What club in their right mind would offer a top 10 pick for a half back flanker who has shown very little in the last two years.

If you believe the whispers, there are 6 clubs after to him - that could lead to some nflated offers.

It does beg the question - if he is so highly rated, should we be giving him up? I'd hate to see him ripping it up at another club after we've developed him.

Re: Footy Classified GF edition

He was our first draft pick the year that we took him, so only a top 10 draft pick would suffice. I am not convinced he is going anyway - why would he go when he has No 3 on his back, if that doesn't tell him that he is a wanted player nothing would.

If it was a pick in the top 12 I would jump at it but I wouldnt touch anything after that just because of Everitts obvious talent and the supposed weakness of the draft.

Re: Footy Classified GF edition

Two picks in the first round....

Anyone else thinking swap them both for Pav?

[LostDoggy]

Re: Footy Classified GF edition

Everitt isn't going anywhere, and i wouldn't be trusting the words from Hutchy or Caro.

Let's face it, both basically said Lake was leaving also...

Pav wont move anywhere and we have salary cap issues as it is, no chance.

Re: Footy Classified GF edition

Supporters over-estimate the value of draft picks because we deal in dreams.

We think our 1st rounder at the next draft is always going to be the next superstar, in reality it's just as likely to be the next Sam Power or Tim Walsh.

I can understand a club trading for Everitt. He's got all the tools and he showed in his first year he can play.

But if he can't play nice with Rodney then it's probably best he tries somewhere else.

So are you suggesting that if we're offered a first round pick, we should still stick with Dre (putting aside the whispers about him cracking the sads)?

It's a near thing, that's what makes it a fair trade.

Like everyone else, I'm concerned about his intensity. His natural position, IMO, is deep defense but he doesn't have Dale Morris' desperation to compete. I don't think this can be taught.

If he went to Geelong and played Darren Milburn's or Tom Harley's role I could see him becoming a very good player. Then in the last half of his career when he's bulked up maybe he could be a genuine key back.

For Carlton's pick 11? Yeah, I'd pull the trigger. For Geelong's pick 17? I'm not so sure.

What it comes down to; is there a kid you really want and who do you think is after him and will this trade make a disfference.
