I want the best mid in the draft
As it stands
If Walsh is pick 2 I'd do a swap with Brisbane and get something extra
I know you do. I think everyone is pretending that this isn't the case for most Carlton fans. I have no doubt that they would be happy with Lukosius, and if they end up taking pick 1 to the draft they will take him too. They would be shit scared of being a laughing stock for doing anything but. But they also quietly know that this isn't what their list needs. They need A grade mids to replace Gibbs and Murphy, and worst case Cripps in the future. Have you ever seen a draft where trading the #1 pick is debated this much? This entire discussion is centred around screwing Adelaide. Why aren't people talking about Port Adelaide here. People from every club see that we finally have a good draft hand and assumed it would get better when Sloane and Lynch (whoops) leave. The conversation is purely aimed at squeezing every last drop from Adelaide.
Keep on acting like all these scenario's are actually fair and make sense because Luko is already this 300 game superstar. Luko hasn't proved a thing. He doesnt have a contested side to his game yet. He has kicked 8 goals in 6 games at SANFL level I believe. Excellent for a young 18 year old. But lets not get carried away. People are trying to say he is the next Reiwoldt. Well take away Reiwoldt's intangibles like his courage, his heart and his immense engine and even Reiwoldt isn't the legend that was NR12.
I don't think we will be in a position to take Rankine as it stands with our draft hand. But personally, I would prefer Rankine and another top 10 pick, over Lukosius. Take away Rankine as one of them and I would probably prefer Luko though. I think that is better for our club. What is being proposed, is far and away more than that. I can only hope we dont get sucked in. I would be willing to throw in multiple picks outside the top 10. We will make them add up to as high a number of points as we possibly can. I would throw all the later picks in if need be to get Luko. But picks inside top 10 are gold and Melbourne's pick outside 10 is still, massively, massively valuable. We could get Rozee or Hately with that pick.
