AFL: Tackle the Headline - Which club has most at stake this AFL trade period?
It is the off season of tough decisions at Carlton and the Blues getting brutal in their list management “will end up paying dividends” according to theCarlton are trying to pry two-time All- Australia n half back Dan Houston out of Port Adelaide , are all but certain to sign GWS free agent Nick Haynes and are trying to maintain enough draft capital to land father-son selections Ben and Lucas Camporeale.
“If you want to stay comfortable, stay where you are, doing what you’re doing and it’ll be maybe good enough to play finals, maybe not. But if you want to win and be the best, that’s a different conversation. That’s f---ing uncomfortable.Carlton’s kicking efficiency is below AFL average and no Blue kicked the ball better than Houston who went at 81.5% by foot this season – but they may have to get creative to snare him.
Another is a partner for Jacob Weitering in defence as the Blues have been unable to bed down a regular second 195cm or taller defender.The premiership winning Cat was not selected for the qualifying final win against Port Adelaide and instead played VFL after a year impacted by injury, form and a period playing in the ruck – which included a mauling at the hands of his older brother, Tom.
Young has been unable to nail down that position in his three years at Princes Park since crossing from the Western Bulldogs but the fact he has been told he is free to explore his options elsewhere hints that Carlton may have someone in the pipeline.
Jesse Motlop was picked ahead of Owies for last year’s preliminary final but did not play until Round 19 this year because of injury.
