These changes limit bottom teams with FS or Academies to trade for quality. This year it would be someone like Butters and not that he would want to come to us but our hands would be tied and everyone would know it. Having top kids you need to bid on with top picks also restricts your dealing. GC got in well last year………smart operators.

These are our 17 oldest players (born last millennium) and their final contract years. We will have to orchestrate their exodus over the next few years and look at replacements.

It is interesting that only 4 of them are home grown. Is this one of the reasons why we are having problems? Most of them moved clubs for opportunities. Do they have their heart in it? Are the home grown players overwhelmed?

If you do a quick succession plan it's clear our problems are rucks, tall forwards and tall defenders.


Re Last line. Yep.

Seems like a no brainer to go after a No 1 Ruck, No 1 KPF, No 1 Mid-Fwd. This Year!!
If OKeefe doesn't turn into a good Fwd-Ruck, then we need one of them too. Has to be mobile and springy....then we need depth.

We are not too far off, but finding the missing high end players are the big challenge.

We will have to Trade out whatever we have left after walker picks so we can start to fill these spots in 2027. Huge task.

But we do have 2 first round picks for the next 3 drafts which does improve our trading position. What that means in reality only time will tell.


Next 2 drafts. We used two for Dean in 2025 (Carlton & Sydney)

2026 R1 Carlton .... Walker FS
2026 R1 Sydney
2026 R2 North
2026 R2 GCS
2026 R3 Bris

2027 R1 Carlton
2027 R1 Sydney
2027 R2 Carlton
2027 R3 Carlton...Scotland FS
2027 R4 Carlton...Abdullah NGA

2028 R1 Carlton
2028 R2 Carlton... Kouta.L FS
2028 R3 Carlton ... Lovett-Murray NGA
There is also Arli Walker in 2029 I believe.

With the new drafting for father son and nga players in now the best thing for Carlton in to come last and use the first pick on Dougie Cochrane that way port will match our bid which will trigger a second round compensation pick for us

Farcical. The AFL has encouraged the bottom clubs to cannibalise other bottom clubs by offering additional draft picks as an incentive. Even if they didn't rate Walker and Cochrane as the 2 best players, they would be derelict in their duties by not bidding on them.
Greg Swann has confirmed what most already knew. Narcissistic shit bloke.

Lol that would be @#$%&! hilarious.

Stick it right up the AFL.

I would feel bad for Port though.

What's more likely to happen is that Richmond finish bottom and bid on Cody. cauliflower.

Been saying that about Swann for years and have been howled down . The mutt has only been at the AFL for a short time and as hard as it is to believe he is actually making it worse . Dead set wrecking ball .

How much does AFL just suck at the moment.

The whole product just stinks.

Let’s say we finish 15 or 16

What do we give up to get Cody assuming there is an early bid.

That pick, plus a good chunk, if not all, of the next one.
