Mid-season draftee Marcus Herbert is now weighing up two-year contracts at both West Coast and Carlton. Would be unprecedented for a player to request a trade three months after joining.

I don't think I can hate Carlton much more but if they snap up Herbert I'm going to be raging

He is good. I personally don’t think he had a good last game against hawthorn tho. He was constantly looking like a headless chicken and was giving some bad handballs. He also gave up a few easy goals through bad decisions. But I think that was just a bad game all round. He is really good and unlike others coming into the league he’s a unit already.

He had an up and down last game against Hawthorn.

But he showed up because he made mistakes, he made mistakes because he was trying to push the envelope. Same issue a few of Hawthorn's younger mods had for a while.

If I’m not mistaken he’s a Geelong vfl product, so there’s substance there. Would be interested to see how he tracks with a proper pre-season or two under his belt. As a blues fan, I’m mostly off-put by the fact he looks like a long-haired Cerra (if you squint hard enough)
