Carlton H&A Discussion

[Mat0369]

Is he that bad?

Yes

I wouldn't want to give anything more then a 4th rounder for him and even then that's pushing it.

Not to mention once the ball hits the ground, with a forward line of Jones, Hendo and Levi it is coming straight back out

Mick not a happy chappy.


Honestly, I think it's pretty harsh for clubs not in a premiership window to begrudge 30+ year old players trying to get a couple of extra bucks in the few years they have left- a lot of these guys won't exactly have an easy time slotting into a non-footy work force.

[Mat0369]

Add in the fact he dropped him earlier in the year twice and criticised him publicly multiple times saying that he has to understand what they are trying to do at the club etc. You can't flip flop around with what you say every week and then get pissed when the player walks

[Mailman the 2nd]

I think its just one of those "Shut up Mick" situations

Is there any other kind of Mick situation?

[Ricochet]

Well it kinda explains why he wasn't happy

"I'm disappointed," Malthouse told 5AA. "He came around to my place last Friday and wanted to know where he sat, which I explained to him about the game and how we've looked after him body-wise.

"We shook hands and everything was hunky-dory and then a week later he was gone. I wish he had told me then.

"I've got no desire to facilitate talking to players in my home when their desire is to leave."

[Mat0369]

Carlton are offering him 1 season with an option, North 2 guaranteed. If Mick tells him we only want to give you one year and see how your body and form is for a 2nd while North go, hey Jarrad, here is 2 years done deal, what the hell did he think he was going to do?

See, but Waite's reasoning is pretty obvious here as well, do you really want to say something like that and then get ejected from the house? Or he might have still been thinking it over, I'm sure he doesn't want to leave his club.

lol I don't think he would have been ejected from the house.  My take on it was that Waite indicated he was staying at that meeting so that's why Mick was disappointed.

Which means Waite had indicated he was staying prior to the meeting and at that meeting or there wouldn't have been a meeting at Mick's house.

It doesn't matter too much anyway. Was just pointing out why Mick would have been frustrated

Talks are underway for Canberra's most recent AFL draftee, Jason Tutt, to join Carlton. Tutt has told the Western Bulldogs he wants to go to the Blues when trading is done between October 6-16.

[Mat0369]

Another one? Seriously? 'I guess we need pace but nah

[Master Q]

I like him.

Thinking of it now we have a decent history when it comes to recycled players. So I'm confident that we could make something out of Jones and possibly Tutt.

[Vinny]

Yeah I don't mind taking the punt on either if we can get them cheap.

Watch Liam Jones turn into a handy player, I reckon he'll do alright as 2nd/3rd tall.

And I've only heard good things about Tutt.

I mean if we get them for barely anything, why not.
