I'm getting WA go home ptsd.

I know its not JT's drafting philosophy as he has always usually targeted the best available talent but id love to take two victorians and eliminate any go home factor.

Come back @picket fence , you rare exotic ingredient you.

Will we use 37 or trade it for a F2 or something else?

Woewodin just delisted, so we might like someone at pick #37 possibly Pickett? or use as a back up if someone bids on Kalani.

Does white pick come from these draft picks or somewhere else?

Supplementary question - where?

So this would mean no bid on Dean until pick 10. Yes ? Is it easier for Carlton if this occurs .

We would not want to be charged with collusion

I hope we can get one great kid and the other a workhorse if it is a poor draft.

2 champs like last year very doubtful

Wouldn’t want to be charged with helping Carlton in the slightest, either.

For all the doom and gloom regarding a weak draft, the GWS recruiter believes this year is good to about 12 or 13, excluding the academy and F/S kids. In his opinion, it falls away quickly after 15, and they probably won't use any of their later picks. I think Taylor has something in mind for 7 & 8, and I never expected we would have such a dramatic cleanout.

In Taylor we trust

He’s not showing up in any top 40’s, neither is Sinnema (if we want him).

Makes me think rookie list for both.

Not entirely sure how matching for late picks works with the new discount and points index but 66 and 71 should do the job if they’re picked in the main draft post 40.

We've gone from barely participating due to late picks and pre-commitments (White, Sinnema) to right up the interesting end and in a position to live trade like wild creatures.

I wonder... if Harry Dean hasn't gone by pick 6, would Carlton want to trade up their 9 and 11, in exchange for 6 plus some 'cash-in' selections?

Everyone gains, with the caveat that Carlton is included in everyone.

Either:

• Taylor definitely has something in mind, or we wouldn't have accepted it. Or ...

• We're not really interested in 7 & 8 and we'll be doing pick swaps to get a higher pick or something more in 2026

I'd rather use the 2 picks this year and next year.
Even if we swing at 50% it'll work out ok.

If you are happy with a 50% strike rate then why don’t we trade up and get 100% from the top 3 or 4?

I hope they explore getting into the top picks as a rule

Is Tairon Ahmu still going around ? Would love to know how his year went ..

No such thing as 100% for top 4 picks. Too many disappointments there as well. We should know from past experience. Playing the numbers game is still high risk.

I think lamb just misspoke or was referring to it being past 7:30 so no further trades were being done today.

We might have an outside chance at getting one of Grjl, Sharp or Taylor.

But its more likely we're going to be choosing from the next batch: Lindsay, Cumming, Marsh, Phillipou, Schubert, Farrow.

As I say would love if one of Robey, Grjl, Sharp or Taylor drop to us but I think its unlikely at this stage.

Reckon people are sleeping on Greeves.

sharp and greeves scare me theyre 2012-2022 coded midfleiders, they win teh ball yes but they cant kick, langford is our guy for that going forward and rivers offers enough too, we need class and composure, players who can use the ball inside and out. greeves certainly doesnt impact scoreboard like robey does, sharp has done it a few times but wouldnt rely on it

thats why grjl is sp

maybe @spirit of norm smith man rory wright or is that a reach there? would be a nice HB/mid option but also could be a lockdown small in time too, dont think there is any concern about "matching" the kalani bid, will fall to us as woey did at the end of proceedings with our last live selection
