Wouldn’t say he’s super quick.
I don’t think his 20m sprint times are a standout but has a good speed, agility, endurance combination.

Just fast. He's not Lewis Jetta or anything but plenty enough speed to create separation on the lead and in open space.

Whoever we draft I want them to be extremely good at their primary position. I don’t want a Kemp/Curtin type where you don’t know their best position and spend years trying to work that out.
Flexibility is good and all but we need to be clear with what we want and go after it. No more hybrid types.
Our list is at the point where we have been aggressive with trades and got a talented team. We need to address the gaps but don’t need to go chasing guns. We need certainty around positions.
*KPD. Not another third tall. But still athletic.
*Pacy, high footy IQ crumbing small.
*Damaging half back flank.
*Dangerous half forward type.

There’s every chance that Lucas doesn’t even make our list in 2025. He could very well be signed for the reserves and potentially make a late running for MSD or next year.
If Reid drifts that low, I would love to have him at Carlton. A goal kicking midfielder with some of the best foot and hand skills in the draft.

Where are all the key position defenders in the draft? They all seem to be interceptors?
Who was 1st?

Luke Kennedy should comfortably beat those 2km times at the state combine if hes at 100%
Came 2nd in Sandy's BnF too. Hoping he gets a call up as a rookie for us even thought it's unlikely

Mildly concerning re the up in the air stuff. Sounds like we haven't committed to them just yet, likely due to our list squeeze.
There is a fair bit more variance in the ranking lists this year in the top 15 or so. Very even. Eventual order will come down to individual club preferences.

Not actually Brad Fisher
I'm not bothered by it one bit tbh. They're saying it's up in the air for one of two reasons: (1) they've been told not to reveal Carlton's commitment to the media so the club can make the announcement or (2) it genuinely is up in the air because the club don't think they're good enough. Either way I'm fine with. I think scenario 1 is the most likely. But if scenario 2 is what's happening I think it's fair on face value. Neither Ben nor Lucas have shown enough to say that they are guaranteed to be a gun player at AFL level. We don't have the list spots to accomodate sentimental selections as much as we all love the romance of it.
We don't have to take them even if we nom them so I think it's just a matter of time.
Neither played the back half of the year at all (except for lucas 1 final). Suggests to me we may have committed and told them to shut up shop but don't want it to be obvious.

Kako at 6! * would be spewing. Makes their pick 9 gettable.
Also means our first would be 15 - Berry.

My observations:
Murphy Reid is someone you couldn’t pass up if he was there. He has generational class. Lachie Neale hands. Is a goal scorer as well. Only query is speed/power at the highest level.
Travaglia. Tenacious competitor with exemplary endurance and ball reading. Concerns around his height (187cm) and his kicking. Does he solve our second key defender problem? Probably not. Might be worth it regardless.
Berry is someone I’ve been bearish on but I’ve revisited some games and I admit he has several attributes that we could use. Very clever running patterns and makes good decisions often. Has some Luke Breust about him. Query is him drifting out of games at times. Worthy of a top 12 selection? Hmmm.
Xavier Lindsay is popular on here but it’s a huge no from me. If you watch enough of his matches, his ball use is bordering on poor. Yes, he looks slick with the left foot and every so often hits a great pass but he butchers the ball way too much for mine. No discernible game breaking qualities about him. Blues don’t need him.
Trainor tempts me with his outstanding intercept marking and elite skills by foot. Extremely talented player and a healthy dose of confidence. Is he the second key defender we need? He’s 195 so maybe. I’d say after the saints receiving pick 8 for battle that he will be off the table anyway. He feels safer than Travaglia for mine.
Hotton I haven’t watched enough footage of, however he possesses much of what we need at the blues. Not sure he is worth the risk given our injury plague.
Hannaford. What a finish to the season. He possesses strength and power that we need. Also hits the score board. He’s a less skilful Murphy Reid with more power. Might cost less and be more what we need. Reminds me of someone Geelong would pick up for peanuts and turn into a superstar.
My order of preference:
Murphy Reid
Luke Trainor
Ollie Hannaford
Joe Berry
Tobie Travaglia
Xavier Lindsay
