Here’s a suggestion for some levity, try rolling with this…
We have witnessed the triple “ABC” of recruiting: Choose one letter of the alphabet and then recruit in threes. As in the “SSS” Saad, Smith & Stringer.
Try if you will, to choose one letter of the alphabet and select 3 players to target.
He’s got that rare ability to be rated as a big-bodied, huge numbers midfielder whilst being smallish, not racking up huge numbers and not playing midfield.
If I’m Carlton after throwing him one of the biggest contracts ever, if he still chooses to leave I’d put him through the PSD and chance his arm on ending up at Brisbane or GC. No way do they trade him to us.
Got a year to run on his contract and not signing the extension as has “things to consider”
Given the bash and crash way he plays would probably limit his time in the AFL especially with not much help does he want to spend next 5yrs (prime of his career) at bottom of ladder still carrying that rabble on his back.
Lloydy reckons they will need to turn over another 10+ players this year, some which they only got last year like Lobbe/Lang etc. They are miles off it.
