This was his 5th year on the list, if that's the best he's got by now I wouldn't be pinning our hopes on him dragging us off the bottom.

Just looking at depth. Key position isn't our strongest suit. His last 4-5 games at the club have gone as well as anyone else who's played up forward, excluding Casboult, and better than what Henderson has given us (admittedly not too hard). Prefer him to Jones by a margin on their output given the few games each have played. As I said, just cover.

Loved Cripps game again today. Between him, Curnow, Kreuzer and Carrazzo we beat the Hawks in clearances, stopages, contested possessions, tackles and hitouts. Inside 50s 46 to 49 - not bad for our seconds.

I really look forward to Kreuzer, Gibbs, Murphy and Cripps starting midfield next year.

Unless we lose Kreuze of course.

Agree. Watson haters lookout. Has absolutely zero confidence out there, a product of the Malthouse reign. Give him a crack under Bolts.

You have a go at Gibbs for only playing well during a 'contract year'.

Yet Watson becomes a 'Round 23 specialist' but goes missing for the rest of the year, and you think that 1 game deserves a contract extension?

FMD we have sunken to a new low.

Delist him.
If we still have a 4th round rookie pick to spend and he is available, then and only then do we consider giving him a spot on our list in 2016.

Actually happy to keep him as key position depth given a lack of strength there. He has done something 4 of the last 5 games he's played with the club. Got touches, taken marks, and capable of hitting the scoreboard. Been ok since he returned to the side.

Huh? Pretty sure I was one of the few who backed Gibbs the whole way.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

"Winning" the wooden spoon makes things interesting on draft day.

Unless they get a priority, doubtful, I wouldn't take Schacse. He's desperate to go to Brissy coz his old man played there, and if he was any good we'd be lucky to hold on to him after his initial contract.

Weiterling seems the better bet.

however, we haven't got the greatest trade or draft selection record, so who knows what those genii will do.

That is a massive stretch. He was asked a question if he would like to play for Brisbane because of his dad and he said yes. He wasn't going to say no. His old man was hardly a Club Legend up there. Marc Murphy turned down a move to Brisbane as a Father/Son. Even Weitering actually went up and trained with Brisbane. I'd have a hard time believing that two Victorians wouldn't want to stay in Victoria to play their footy.

Ellard was on our list for 8 years, Hampson for 7, how long do you reckon we should give Watson?
Where was Yarran today by the way?
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Agreed. You can't draft based on what someone might do it 3 years time. It's hard enough just to find a decent player.

Yep. Just see Tom Boyd. GWS had to take him and got a pretty nice return for him. (even though Griffen has been pretty bad this year)

We got rowe from the SANFL. Ditto Duigan. Both offer(ed) more than Watson has.

If you want depth, get a readymade SANFL/VFL backup, not Watson.

Bit different. Ellard and Hampson we had more than enough cover for. Key position on the other hand, definitely not, so we need cover. So another 12 month contract to see what happens. As you can see, with injuries, we actually needed him in the side the last few weeks as a case in point. That's my point there. Without him it was Jones.

Never greatly worked before. Watson is at least taking a mark, getting a kick and hitting the scoreboard. Hasn't let anyone down since he's moved forward. He's contributed. I'd prefer him to some so called readymade from a lower league. 12 months only. Been happy with what he has done since moved forward. Could've been worse.
