Caleb Marchbank?

[Thesaint127]

Caleb Marchabank has offishily said that he wants to leave the Giants and is likely to want to return to Victoria.Should we be intirested and are we intirested?

[White Winmar]

Very, very interested. Don't know what it will take, but Steele, Marchbank and Hoskin Elliott is my ultimate wish list. Me likey!

[saintbob]

We should be ringing his manager immediately, a very likely type.

Not sure what it would cost pick wise, but If we could get Marchbank and Steele as a package it'd be a good get.

[st.byron]

Jaxon posted with some sense of certainty in another thread that Marchbank will be at Carlton.

[White Winmar]

Bugger! I knew we should have got SOS back.

Carlton pick 23 probably gets it done. Carlton also have 41 if they need it.
GWS might be happy to take the points.
Carlton have indicated they want to use their pick 5 in the draft.

I think that it is probably a case of us preferring Steele over Marchbank as it would be difficult to get both.

[Hemi Baxter]

Steele's currency a fair bit higher on the back of superior disposal and numbers

[Beno88]

We're in the mix apparently.... http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-09-02/t ... -marchbank

[maverick]

Pick 10 plus 2017 2nd rounder for Steele and marchbank

[Wombat15]

Pick 10 plus 2017 2nd rounder for Steele and marchbank

From what i've been reading saints have a first rounder on the Table for Both Marchbank and Steele.

WHE - Collingwood

I'm astounded how GWS is possibly on the brink of creating a premiership a dynasty and these players want to leave.

[Hemi Baxter]

Pretty basic. They aren't in the best 22. They want to play AFL footy and earn success and a lot of money. They can see that the club has a raft of early picks again this year and that their stocks may sink even further. They know there are other clubs where they are likely best 22 and who are offering them twice their current salary and a four year deal.

[Vazelos]

It looks like we are going hard for Marchbank and Steele.
A 1 st round draft pick and Billy Longer for those 2 and that would be fantastic.

Its all about getting a game at that age.If GWS wins a flag and you're in the two's....

Thumbs up

Paying overs for an injured player and another struggling to make best 22.

I would think 1st rounder for both or alternatively they are after small forwards and ruck .

Longer and Sinclair and 1st rounder (pick 10) for Steele, Marchbank and GWS 1st round pick ( guess 15?)

Havent Carlton just spent big on 3 KPDs in the last 2 years? Jaasch-off, Plowman and Weitering?
Surely they have other holes in their list?
Is SOS obsessed with KPDs?
Is it an admission that Jaasch-off, Plowman are both duds?
Surely they should be given a little more time, and they should ATM be looking at other areas on their list?

Fair point.... I think Jacksche and Plowman might be duds...

[SuperDuper]

The other issue is this:
Surely Carlton will not give up pick 5 for him. Even for a downgrade. Not after the Jaaskch downgrade disaster where they downgraded pick 7 to 19 and took Brokhurst...

And Essendon will not give up pick 1.

I think we would give pick 10, if we can bundle in Steele, e.g. pick 10 + 46 for Marchbank +Steele. We may agree to something like that.

We may have a good hand in this... just hope he is keen on us... we have a lot going for us compared to those 2 teams, in my (biased) opinion

[SuperDuper]

Note.. just looked up Kristian Jaaksch year:
http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Rati ... ian-JAKSCH

looks like they have tried to convert him into a forward ... took until the last game for him to play well at VFL level, when finally sent back...

Certainly no certainty to make it...

To be fair, it's not like they're missing best 22 for the Lions. They're missing best 22 in the side with the most young talent depth in the league.

[bobmurray]

Carlton don't need Marchbank, they need to recruit a forward line.

They have the worst forward line in the comp, it's the equivalent of a spud farm.
