Some bigger bodied mids would be nice.

Looking like a top 5 pick at the moment, maybe even top 3
, I assume the other pick is an end of first rounder?

Correct.. Compo pick end of first round
It'll be 3 inside the top 25

Seeing how Clayton drafts, it will probably be a 70kg 400m runner that hasn't picked up a football.

I sure as hell hope we trade 1 or 2 of those 3 early picks
Or a 200cm basketballer project player whose played 1 season of AFL rules has no footy smarts.

Or maybe well check a rehab clinic on the Goldy somewhere, surely someone is suitable for our culture and slot straight in. Potential next captain.
Yes I realise now I'm being an arseh*le
If carlton had more then 2 good players id say raid them.. They're rebuilding want 6 first round picks in the next 2 years.
Only problem is.. They have no1 i really want

If I were them I wouldn't trade Cripps for a first rounder, would you?
Cripps is pretty special but I don't think he is the type player they will look to trade out. He would be the focal point of their rebuild IMO.
What about Jack Watts for Sam Day? Both look like they could use a change of scenery. I'm pretty sure there was a rumour in the early parts of last season that Watts had been talking with the Suns. Watts is a free agent next year so Melbourne would probably want to avoid another Frawley-like situation and trade him a year out if the right deal presents itself. Jack has played over 100 AFL games and turned 24 earlier this year. Could be worth a look just based on his experience alone. I know there are question marks over his mental toughness and his ability to turn it on at the AFL level but Sam Day is no better in that regard.

If we have 3in the first 25 normally I would say trade all 3 for a higher pick or gun mature players but for 2 reasons I wouldn't do it this year
1. Almost all of the top draft prospects seem to be 185cm and 70kgs, so it's a bit of a crap shoot, more picks give us a higher chance of succuss
2. There will be a clean out at years end and 3 fresh faces without baggage and3 less rock stars, sounds like a solid step forward

We still haven't got a proven off field development program. Go through the last 5 years and single all our top 20 picks, and tell me they have all shown enough to warrant their "high" selection. I strongly disagree with using all 3 picks and would love for us to trade 1 or 2 package with a player or something.
We still have no training facilities and top assistants to develop youngsters, I think we are almost forced to buy established good players short term
Even Malceski and Hallahan went backwards when they got to us..
Malceski all australian to our worst player the first few weeks..

I'm pretty happy with Clayton's efforts last year. Touk and Saad have shown us plenty and not unhappy to have 2MP and Garlett either. Pick the best talent again unless A grade mids can be involved in trades which is unlikely.

No Jack Watts. Bryce Gibbs I would say yes to

He is stuck in our broken system, perhaps a program like Carltons would see him flourish and all it would cost is your first pick

Lol, he look likes a good player just don't know why he's struggling for someone who is talented but we don't see it often

Seen it suggested by a few that Will Minson could be in red and gold next year.
Granted, the link there is tenuous given he was one of Rocket's whipping boys, but who knows. He's not getting a game at the moment, without having done anything wrong.
