In hindsight emtwenty, would you now take Martin over Daisy?

I think Gibbs is fairly weak overhead personally.

Just on Martin, to think we could have picked him up for 600k instead of Daisy, still young with his career ahead of him.

What would you have been willing to trade for him? Given Daisy didn't require a trade.

The first rounder we got for Betts? That we gave up for Daisy? If not enough then throw in Hampson. So no Docherty I guess.

Gibbs twinged his back in the warm up. I saw him run off half way through.
Jamo did too. That's when he hurt his calf.
Brock obviously injured himself in the warm up too.

Absolute carnage.

Waite survived the warm up.  That's one plus.  

The possibility of no Stevie J means that we can cover Selwood and one more with Curnow and Carrazzo.

So what would you propose as a remedy then ??

1. New Recruitment Team - including dedicated list manager, national development network and head recruiter - goodbye to current recruiter
2. More money from the Board/Sponsors into the Development league and Reserves. Full Carlton reserves
3. More Coaches at Development and Reserves
4. Clear the list methodically with the hard calls

The rest will look after itself...

x2.... been saying similar for years but the club refuses to admit the recruiting and development are an issue.....

Firstly, lets say he is the rightful captain for this side and is really a captain now.

This isn't about Murphy in particular but I was watching Goddard collect his players on the ground after the final siren and give them an absolute bake on the ground. I've seen Pav do this, Hodge, some others. I don't seem to ever recall a Carlton player ever doing that - maybe I'm wrong. We laughed at the idea of Goddard, Collingwood dropped Thomas from their leadership group and I cannot see him ever doing it.

Are there any of our players you could see take this sort of action? Gibbs maybe?

This will be a good test for is. They made us look beyond impotent the last time, we just couldn't do anything. If we can avoid looking lost, then that will be a step forward, not sure about coming away with the points...

There was a little feature on Menz on Fox Footy last night and he said he wanted to be picked up by the Cats to be with his brother but was rapt when picked up by Carlton as he would be close to him in Victoria.
