Carlton have 2 first round picks next year then a 4th rnd. They also have 2 first round picks for 2027. I can't remember the new rules for next year, but they could potentially use a third 1st round pick next year if they are chasing Butters. But equally they may really need the points for Dean this year.

Effectively half, before 37 comes in due to bids (which will happen after Carlton needs to match). 25 - 590 pts 37 - 297 pts

Retired due to a heart condition after collapsing during a game in 2018. Was actually a very good player for the Saints before that (I googled all of this...)

I don't think it's a deliberate play to make it obvious, but when you have finite resources, you need to put them towards those you are interested in. And when players or managers don't get attention from clubs, that's where the mail comes from. I don't think JT and team should be travelling and spending time meeting players they aren't going to draft.

Jesus, look at the bucket hands on him! Not many picked it but looking back it's no surprise he turned into a huge unit

On the other side of it, what's the point of a midfielder who gets it 30-35 times but turns it over 10-15 of those. We've had our share of those too

From memory he was rehabbing a foot injury. Hopefully it's something that doesn't hold him back too much

From Insta: Gawn, Melk and Langdon seem to still be at a training camp in the US

Disco for me. Good player, seems disciplined and well liked.

Latrelle Pickett may actually become what most people probably thought Kozzie might, a livewire small forward who stays inside our 50, puts pressure on and is good for 25-30 goals a year. That's probably his ceiling, as opposed to what Kozzie actually became, a star who's kicking 35-40 goals despite spending a lot more time in the midfield

Sounds a lot like every interview max has done since trade week...

Yep, fair enough. I'm only 185 so still 9sm taller than me. In that context you're spot on, in the context of needing key defencders to combat key forwards who are 200cm less so

for a guy with supposedly sticky mitts he drops his first 6-7 marks in that video. Not great to see

He looks a big unit. Only 194cm but hopefully his athletic profile lets him play a bit taller

I won't be saying meh, I'll be asking my TV screen very loudly why they tried to shrug the tackle instead of getting rid of the ball. More likely scenario is I'll be applauding Daicos or Ginnivan getting pinged

I don't think its that complicated. The rule was brought in to stop a third man up after the rucks had engaged at a ball up. Penalise the third guy. They managed to work out who the rucks were competing in the contest for decades. No reason they can't do it now. All it will take is a few free kicks before players stop protesting confusion and get on with it.

Yep, I read that as nomination remaining, they just aren't waiting. That sucks. It should be no nomination at all and third man in is penalised. Also hate the stand rule crack down. All the others are meh.

Not just you

I googled and couldn't find anything new about Glasshouse

I think our issue in the past hasn't been too many bulls, it's too many bulls who had absolutely no other string to their bow. Trac was the only one of the 3 who could move forward, and even then, he was a terrible set shot. Langford has shown he can play elsewhere, and if Lindsay develops into an inside mid I think he's shown the same. I think Greeves has also shown he can possibly move forward, so is probably less of an issue than carrying Viney, Trac and Oliver.

Fair to say Clarry is using the time between being let go by Melbourne, and being pulled into line by GWS, to take a number of pot shots at sports reporters he doesn't like. Chief among them Tom Morris and Mitch Cleary. He's also posting pictures showing him hanging out with Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Harmes. He's not our problem anymore, but I'd be surprised if the Giants didn't give him a call to tell him to tone it down.

Interesting to see where he fits going forward. Too short to play as the 1st or 2nd forward, but would be handy as a third forward. Very different playing style to Fritta but essentially that position. Our medium fwd stocks are a bit bare. Fritta hopefully has a few years left but Melk probably has 1, Mihochek 2-3.
