Maybe all of a sudden we don't need the plethora of first round picks we thought we needed. Add in a star player via free agency and who knows??

Is rather keep him to but he's the most expendable of the 3 imo. Not a spine player and would be a super super star in a top 4 team.All to stay thanks.
3 really good players who are still only around 25, plenty of good footy ahead of them.
Barker has publicly stated yarran is required, which they don't normally do when they are looking to trade them, unusual if it's a ploy to increase his price.
If it's because yarran wants to leave, then that's another story and we have to get the best we can from a trade
Anyone see Cripps play yesterday ?
Anyone see Brayshaw play today ?
How about Hogan and Cameron and O'Meara ?
We haven't even seen Petracca yet ...
These are the quality players that you need to build a side around capable of consistently challenging for top 4 and ultimately premierships .
There's only one way you get these guys ,
Draft picks ... top end draft picks !!!
SOS knows this and knows what he has to do to get them .
We might have some tough decisions and hard yards in front of us in the next few years , but if we can't handle that we will never be serious challengers , instead , condemned to the odd stirring victory like yesterday to content ourselves with .
I'm lucky enough to have witnessed and enjoyed Carlton premierships , unfortunately a growing number of our younger supporters have not .
Who's willing to pay the price ?? I bet those young folk are ...
He mentioned that twiceMeh
Melbourne had plenty of high draft picks before

Funnily we only won one of our flags with the draft
Doesn't mean throwing out good players like hendo and yaz, themselves top 10 picks, is the answer. In fact I think we would be stupid to trade them willingly.
Using the first two draft picks we get automatically should be enough.
You picked out select young guns of the comp who were all absolute top picks, but we have also seen plenty of top 20 picks bust.
Looking at teams like hawthorn, Sydney and Freo, actually the key to their success is game plan and developing later picks and rookies into solid players.
We did in 5 6 7Well it's probably time we embraced it
Where is Whiley at now that Cripps has sown up a midfield position and Graham is on the cusp of doing so also.
Will he have to wait until Carrazzo retires before being given another chance?
Does anyone have a statistic on first round draft picks becoming 150 - 200 gamers. I feel the AFL draft is very hit and miss. unlike the NBA where you get a top 5 pick you are gonna get a good player. (obviously there are those that miss completely in the NBA just look up Kwame Brown)
true. But best player in world at moment didn't go to college.Big difference is that players drafted to NBA are usually at the end of college and 21 so ready to step into being a pro.

Barker can publicly state as much as he likes... it isnt his job. Sos is the one who is going to be making the decisions on who will be staying and who will be going. If he decides that Yarran is staying, then it is going to be someone like Henderson who is going.All to stay thanks.

And it was with a team that had been together for at least 5 years as well... with the core of the side having come from either the very start of the draft or from just before the draft was introduced.Funnily we only won one of our flags with the draft
Yarran looked good on Saturday, but it looks like he's still playing angry. Not sure where his head is at and i think he might be the most intriging player to watch at seasons end.Barker can publicly state as much as he likes... it isnt his job.
