Boekhorst was excellent for us before getting injured. He really showed something.

no, we trade him - if there are no suitors we delist him

buckley and boekhurst are average ball users - not icing on the cake

Essendon* cheated, simple as that

I like the idea that we should delist every crap player, trade the senior players of value to load up on kids but not play the kids because they'll get injured/ruined. Should we forfeit games for 2 -3 years to put this genius plan into action?

You have to remember MF has had to wait until we lost a few games to pop up again with his tripe.

He needs a platform of poor on-field performances (otherwise he thinks he looks foolish) so he can attack aspects of the club he is really wants to complain about i.e. the board, Trigg, MLG and McKay. This is despite, what appears to be, improvements many aspects of the club. Things are not perfect but there's certainly a much better vibe about the club since late last year.

Unfortunately we will just have to put up with the Moz for now as it appears as though we won't be winning too many more this year.

Remember Roy cimm? The one who said Brock McLean would be delisted 2 years before occurrence. If only 3 guys are rated my MF he's bound to get some names as delistees right.

I would happily trade our first 2 picks for Mitchell.

The draft is a lottery ... People keep equating early picks as A Graders. The truth is ... more often than not (especially with Carlton) its a real mix.
Trade Trade Trade ... get rid of more of our better players and spin the wheel in the draft (good on ya Madhouse) ...


To be sure of a player of Mitchell's quality would be a real coup.

But don't worry .. it is an extremely unlikely possibility.

I am just happy we finally have a sensible, discerning man in charge of recruiting.

I have no doubt SOS will try very hard to upgrade our draft position, but expect it to be more outside of the box wheeling and dealing.
I'm sure we will see some grouping together of second and third rounders to climb up the order (perhaps we might see a trade that involves next years second rounder also).

Trading of future picks, aswell as the new points system has changed the landscape of player movement, and draft positioning.
Where in the past a player such as Everitt, Casboult or Touhy might only have been tradeable as a straight second or third rounder, now there is far more freedom to couple those players with our own draft picks in order to climb into the top 20.

I'd expect us to head into this years draft with another 3 x top 20 picks. How we attain them, I do not know... That's up to SOS to work out. I have no doubt that it will be our plan, however.

No...im right because the list is crap

As a minimum we need 3 new defenders 3 new forwards 5 new mids on top of the best new talent we have

23
Cripps
C curnow
H mckay
Doc
Plowman
Sossos
Phillips
Sumner

Thats 3 to 4 years of top flight drafting

Are they the only names you think will be there in 2017 MF?

2016 NAB AFL DRAFT INDICATIVE ORDER

ROUND ONE
4 Gold Coast
5 Carlton
8 Greater Western Sydney
9 Gold Coast (received Melbourne's first-round pick)
16 Greater Western Sydney
17 Greater Western Sydney (received Geelong's first-round pick, via Carlton)

ROUND TWO
21 Gold Coast (received Fremantle's second-round pick)
22 Gold Coast
23 Carlton
25 Gold Coast (received Richmond's second-round pick)
28 Gold Coast (received Port Adelaide's second-round pick)
32 Greater Western Sydney
34 Greater Western Sydney

ROUND THREE
40 Gold Coast
41 Carlton
49 Carlton (received the Western Bulldogs' third-round pick)
52 Greater Western Sydney


Looking at ways to move up the order and get an extra pick in the first round.

Package our two third rounders up for GWS's pick 32 or 34. Then trade that pick plus our second rounder for GWS's pick 16 or 17. Or trade both our third rounders plus our second for pick 16 or 17.

Trade Everitt to Gold Coast for pick 25 or 28 if they're still interested. Then trade that pick plus our second rounder to GWS for 16 or 17.

If GC end up a few spots below us on the ladder possibly trade Everitt plus our first for their first, Eg Pick 5 + Everitt for pick 3.

Any other ideas?
