Chris Yarran [merged]

[Eat_em_Alive]

Would pay a 2nd round pick for Yarran. That's it folks! Bloke isn't getting a game in one of the worst performing teams of the year - says a lot about Yarran's currency!

Agree his value is well down at the moment but he was dropped for disciplinary reasons, not because he wasn't good enough to get a game. He came 4th in their BnF last year and averaged 16 touches a game. Was still playing decent footy this year at AFL. Guy is still potentially an absolute jet. 2nd rounder is ripping them off, I would be surprised if that ends up being the deal.

And us paying pick 20 odd last year for Hampson wasnt? ?
Just remember, he could be picked up for free next year. They either take what they're offered or lose  out completely

they could do the same thing with lennon this year, IF they convince him to move there

Did anyone here watch the Sunday Footy Show?

Barrett was talking about Yarran and when Luke Ball and Nathan Brown brought up Lennon's name, Barrett said the trade's not Yarran for Lennon.

I hope that is correct.

Caro also said Sam McClure of 3aw told her Lennon and our 3rd round pick has been put on the table for Yarran. The Blues want our first rounder.

McClure tonight said "the word from Carlton" is Lennon & 3rd round pick for Yarran. Do we believe Carlton?

Not enough chicken crap in all of Victoria to fill Punt Rd if that happens

Astbury -> Brisbane

 

Not a big deal I wouldn't have thought

yep we can just keep trotting out Chaplin and his wheelchair till they are comatose

Caro discussed the Treloar trade:

1) Richmond were under the impression Treloar was willing to go to Richmond.
2) Richmond thought their offer (two first round picks 2015-16) was superior to Collingwood's.
3) Benny Gale rang GWS's CEO to clarify and it's all over now.
4) Caro believes the Collingwood deal is more than has been mentioned and that Hutchy knows what it is but won't say.

-----------------------------------------------------------

FC replayed Bolton's claim that Yarran is an A-grader and Carlton should get a first round pick. Lloyd said Yarran's ability is A-grade but his reliability and attitude is B-grade. Caro said he's not worth a first rounder. Lloyd replied, you may have to pay that but it's a big risk for a club to make. Caro added Rochmond has refused to give up their first round pick and that word on the weekend was Lennon & a 3rd round pick for Yarran (which she obviously heard from Sam McClure).

Caro then asked if Richmond getting both Yarran and Bennell was a good idea. Lloyd said no, you'd only pick one of them. Both have questionable attitudes on (Yarran) and off (Bennell) field.

Well this had better be the truth story then.. 

Since when had Barrett got anything right?

Don the jungle drums have been beating too loud and too long over this one. We all know Yarran is coming to us.  It is indeed unfortunate and shows just how inept our recruiting/list management  staff are. What will be truly inept is the cost we pay for the hack. We can all see it coming from miles away, the need to snare a supposed big fish clouding their judgement more than usual and overlooking far greater list needs . Yep we all know  the out come will be more than unfortunate.

What i dont get and it is a lesson that this club of all clubs should have learnt many years ago,It is you dont give up first round picks or young players taken in the first round for any thing less than a PROVEN A GRADE PLAYER. This blokes performances are anything but, over a very long period.
I can understand supporters getting sucked in by a bit of razzle dazzle but a whole footy department who should know better thats inexcusable.
We may as well go and get Lewis Jetta who has probably out performed Yarran over the journey. While we are at it give them, Sydney  both our first round picks from this year and next.
What a joke this club is. It is indeed time for an overhaul of those in charge.

Hands up any one. Who would want to go into anything with a Yarran type looking after your back. FFS i can see it now B ellis on one wing pooting his pants and Yarran on the other stinking it up.

Good post Craw although I'd say Yarren isn't a hack more so an unfulfilled talent

Agree with Dr Craw, who wants to win "Most Potential Award" there are kids wardrobes all over Victoria and Australia with that award collecting dust in the backs of wardrobes

[Francois Jackson]

Well said claw and right on the money.

3 finals losses in a row with a bunch of timid footballers and now they want to add yarran to the list for Lennon.

Let's hope it's dimwits and blairs swansong on their way out the door.

[Dougeytherichmondfan]

A little confused though, thr club has categorically stated they wont be trading their first round pick for Yarran. I agree, Yarran isnt an A grader (at the moment), but he'd be a decent pick up for a second round pick (considering the quality of the draft).

so it is definately confirmed. Leenon for yarran and lennon was put up for the trade by the club?

[torch]

Yarran only worth a 3rd round pick!

[WilliamPowell]

Maybe we could send Setve Morris and our 2nd rd pick to Carlton for Yarran and their 2nd rd pick
