He's extremely replaceable. He's had one very good year over his career, the rest average to below average & turns 29 next year. Steele & Ross have/will have him covered. O'Meara is different proposition. A guy that takes the ball forward with intent. A fit O'Meara......Omg
He looked overweight and sluggish in the second half of the year.....


But.....


Armitage is the hardest dude in the comp right now. Seriously, he is a human cannonball with no regard for his own welfare.

Would I want my child doing what he does on the field? God no.

But would I want my teammate doing what he does on the field? Hell yeah!


FWIW, I think he's been carrying something. But regardless, with a young midfield coming through, a lunatic like Armitage will be if great benefit.

And Richardson seems to have a rabid love of contested footy, and Armitage clearly shines in that space. I'd be surprised if he was the table.
I read on the club website a couple of weeks ago, maybe a bit more, that Armo is second at the club this season for pressure points / pressure acts. I guess anyone could be traded if the price and circumstances are right, but can't see Armo being on the table unless it's an awesome deal.

My wish list is:

Jack Steele
Hoskin bloke
Eric McKenzie or similar
Keep pick 9 and use on gun mid

Go for a gun mid in free agency for 2018 season

I think it's Hoskin Elliott although Hoskin bloke sounds good.

That's nice.

You just could have just said it's pick 10 without being such a smart arse.

Keeping our pick and getting those three in will be interesting.

If we pull off all of that, it will be a miracle. Still, I like it. My fantasy was Steele, Marchbank and Hoskin Elliott for 10, Lonie and Longer. Then I woke up from the most wonderful dream.

You didn't use any full stops or commas.

That's terrible.

Just because they come from GWS doesn't mean they are going to be good.

Longer was our first choice ruckman last year.
Lonie was very dangerous around goals and seemed one of the steals of the draft.
Pick 10 could be anyone.

And you want to throw that all away for a couple of blokes who can't get games at GWS, but because they come from GWS you just assume they are going to be superstars?

WHE is 23 and cant get a game at GWS so he is probably only worth a pick in the 50s.

Marchbank + Steele are probably each worth a pick in the 20s.

Either way it seems Marchbank is a lock for Carlton so it is all moot.

Why is he a lock for Carlton? Just because SOS is the list manager?

Money and length of contract will determine his choice, we should be right in the running.
