And good luck to him whatever he does EB.  As long as we are compensated accordingly, not in the AFLs corrupt way.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I'd go even further with your thinking.
If we don't beat the sniffers convincingly, our season is gone.  I'd be tempted to blow it up and start again because if what we have can't beat the sniffers (and their dominant recent record over us is eembarassing) how can we ever hope to challenge against real teams?
And that means yep, Charlie would be up for trade well and truly.
If you believe the rumour mill, Walsh is the one who will be traded. Word is he has told people that if Voss is coaching in 2026, he wont be there. So if that's true, ta ta Sam I say, we dont need prima donna's holding our club to ransom.
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time
2025-Carlton can win the 2025 AFL Premiership

Walsh is a restricted free agent soon , according to Cal Twomey he will get some big offers and will be the next captain.

Interesting read in the Herald Sun regarding Liam Stocker on the eve of " Spuds Game"

https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/rebuilding-liam-stocker-how-saint-overcame-his-prescription-drugs-nightmare/news-story/a79d333b14e4b620c53e511597262480
Done ok at Stkilda all be it they dont have a great list imo and he doesnt have much to beat for his spot, seems to have assumed that Steven Baker role as a provoking small defender who doesnt mind giving out the odd solid bump and hard tackle.
Id imagine he will try and stir up a few players and deliver a few bruises vs his old teammates, he has improved his marking but his disposal by foot is iffy and he has poor endurance so hopefully our blokes can run him around and pressure his kicking so he turns it over. A Ross Lyon type of player though and he has found his right home for sure.

I would have thought if there was one CFC player who would respond positively to Voss' ultra competitive nature it would be Walsh.

Walsh is on big coin and has two patchy years.  Seems a bit banged up for moderate kilometres...

I'm wth you EB.  If you don't want to be there, sayonara.

Agree, Professory. Like the rest of the team, Walshy's form has been up and down, considering what we've seen from him in previous years. His good is still very good, but it's inconsistent - sound familiar?
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17

Agree, has had those back problems Prof so Im not over paying him even though he is a very good player and has leadership qualities that every club needs. I want to keep him but I wouldnt be trying to match stupid offers from other clubs and if he has some problem with club/coach and wants to go then he can leave.

Walsh is the youngest of our A-graders, but somehow probably the least valuable at the trade table.

However, as has been mentioned, his back injuries are something that are not going to get better, and could get worse real quick. I'm surprised that so many are in favour of trading him.
It shows we are progressing as a group and shifting with the times.
Any talk about trading an a-grader in the past has been very quickly shouted down, but not now. This is good.

Question is, what do we want, and what do we get?

Walsh has sometimes been linked to Geelong.
He was a Falcon as an U/18
That may be the first point of call.

SDK comes back the other way as a starting point then.

We are going out with a 23 that consists of....
Weitering, Silvagni, McGovern, Haynes, Young.
How many (3rd) tall backs can you fit in 1 side.
I would've thought Young would have to miss.

Binns and Evans rewarded for VFL form.
Doc and Carroll are emergencies...as is Pittonet.
There may still be some doubt regarding Charlie despite what Voss says and they may be giving him a bit of time to make 100% sure.
If he doesn't make it, Pitto may come in and allow Tom to go forward.

Yep. Reward for effort is good.

I'm not sure it helps our chances of a win in the 1's though.
As a coach you have to set a bar of what is required, which is fine.
Sometimes that is counterproductive to what you are trying to acheive in the short term though. Hope it doesn't cost us a win.

Personally, i don't see either of those 2 on our list next year.
Anyone who disagrees, tell me others that will go before them
