Surely our future 1st and pick 22 to move up this years draft and get a future 3rd back to make afl happy? We can even throw in one of our 500 future 4ths we've picked up if need be.

Can we offer the Future Past Tour?

24, 26 & 27 get replaced with 2, 6 & 10 or wherever the bids come.

Walter, Read, Rogers, Croft & McCabe will all attract bids inside the first 20 selections. At this stage, Walter aside, the surrendered picks will all be 30+.

Our picks will be 27 & 30.

Great summary of the Trading period.

Austin continues his class act which reflects greatly on the new Carlton.
No Dodoro shenanigans. No old world breast beating like Elliot.
Working the other 17 List Managers with respect and within the law of the land is smart.
Every List Manager wants the best for their club.
Austin has done very well.

Adding Hollands is a great move trade given the injury history of Martin and Cuningham.

I didnt like delisting 2 young ones in Philp and Honey, but someone had to go if not the injury prone Marchbank and Cuningham, and Fogarty whose value increased in the 2nd half of the season.

I feel confident in our current list. We are not that far off.
We ran out of puff playing at the Gabba, and we could've pinched it.

I still think the No 1 ruck is the area we need to improve in, and that may still come from Pitto TDK and SOS, but ruck is not holding us back.

We didn't need to make too many changes and didn't create any disruptions to our best 26.

Pressure next year for list spots, let alone team spots, with a dozen coming out of contract and our salary cap will be in great shape at the end of next year.

Now lets see what Austin can do with picks 22, 28, 70, 78 and 96. Hopefully cash them in for 2 great kids, and a huge preseason to take the next step or two in 2024. Its our time.

Everyone looks good in Navy Blue

Not particularly concerned about the next group out of contract:

Cincotta
Mirkov
Marchbank (RFA)
C.Durdin
Cuningham (RFA)
Akuei
O'Keeffe
Carroll
Martin
Boyd
Fogarty
Cottrell (UFA)
Owies
S.Durdin (UFA)

But Austin likely has some work to do next season re: the pre-agents and/or contracts thru to 2025.

Cerra
Saad
Acres
Kemp
Hewett
Lemmey
Silvagni (UFA)
Weitering (UFA)
Binns
Motlop
Kennedy (UFA)
Newman
Docherty (UFA)
De Koning (RFA)

If you're analysing the list and looking to trade up to Geelong's pick - there'd be more than a few taking notice of where Connor O'Sullivan falls. We're extremely light on for quality big defenders.

What's the story with players that change clubs and free agency?
Doesn't the clock reset?

Hit the 'Club Picks' tab and you will see our current picks in 2024.

The 1,2 means picks in those rounds, with actual number yet to be decided of course.

So I guess we have some currency, if we wanted to bundle some picks (2023 and 2024) to move higher inside top 10 in this years draft.

I don't see that terribly mattering, the same number of available players will have been drafted no matter how many academy/father-son picks end up shuffling the order around.

Plus we've had much better luck with 27 & 30 compared to 22 & 28...

27: Zac Fisher, Jesse Motlop
30: Tom de Koning

22: Josh Bootsma
28: Dillon Viojo-Rainbow

Not sure if any of our SANFL watchers have come across a kid by the name of Will Rowlands (Norwood), but I recently had a Simone Adamley moment (best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who) said multiple clubs are keen, yet no draft rankings I've seen have him on it. Very little footage out there but from what there is, looks a likely type. Suns would have access as he's a Darwin product, but not an Academy selection. Was invited to combine - came over, but apparently didn't test. Has all the attributes you'd want of a very good small forward. One to consider if we have a late-ish pick perhaps.

Wasn't it rumoured Geelong wanted to trade out their first?
If so:
Pick #8 - 1551pts
Picks #22, #28 & #70 - 1561pts

How many spots do we have to fill again?

It's going to take a lot more than 10 points premium to get into the top 10

We’ll get a couple of good players with 22 & 28 (roughly 27 & 30 after five bids get matched).

Someone mentioned Cincotta was moving to the primary list, so it looks like 70 & 78 will be up for grabs on the night & that last rookie spot held over for the SSP. Gold Coast (Graham) & Hawthorn (Jiath &/or Dear) are a chance. Sydney (Cleary) & Doggies (Lual) have more than enough points.
Both picks will land in the late 50s, so hopefully we can extract a future 3rd, but any future pick will get a deal done.

WTF is this Tom Brown 'Carlton has been caught draft tampering, no 2024 or 2025 first round pick' stuff?

The AFL have been giving the interstate teams a free ride with these Acadamy picks for years and not one team has raised an eyebrow ….. father sons are the issue though. FMD.

Yep. How do you get enough points to just buy 3 picks in the top 28 ?
