Rd 21: Post Game Passion: Carlton vs Brisbane

[LP]

To get something of value you have to give up something of value.

1. Don't agree with that at all, if a club sees a need for a Casboult type they'll pay and we won't have to give up squat! It's not a swap meet, I don't want us doing any more Hampson type deals. Sellers have control, not buyers.

When McKay, Curnow, Silvagni and maybe a player like young Ben Silvagni are our forward line will there be a place for a player who takes a good mark but is only a 50/50 proposition as a goalkicker?

2. It's a good point, but Casboult is here now and Ben Silvagni is a mirage on the horizon!

A player like Casboult may have enough value for another team who are prepared to pay a good price. But we won't know that until negotiations start. If we get a good offer we should definitely consider it because we know what we've got with Casboult and there isn't much more to learn.

3. See point 1, and I think Cloke coming on the market has significantly de-valued Casboult this trade period. Plus Cloke coming on the market has made it harder for Casboult to demand a high price. You would think a club "In the hunt at this moment" would opt for the 29 year old Cloke versus the 26 year old Casboult.
