Yup agree, very salient point you make. Got the fingers crossed that Austin can have the use of this pick 38, and that it’s not swallowed up in snaring the Camporeale boys.
We desperately need a KPD with some potential, the bigger boys not more time too.
An earlier article said we're possibly looking at Charlie West, and our recruiters are heading over to SA to have a chat with him. No doubt they would have popped in to visit Draper for a cuppa while they were there - so there's a chance the HUN article today may have blown things out of proportion a wee tad.
Our recruiters would have interviewed all the potential players around pick 3 on a number of occasions. Even last year, they headed down to the Mornington Peninsula to interview Billy on more than one occasion.
Yep. Pick 3 I am not concerned about all. I want another good young player before picking Ben

A few layers to it, I reckon.
1) He's our genuine preferred option, we're doing our final due diligence and intend to call his name on Draft Night.
2) He's our second choice, behind either FOS or Smith, and we believe there's a genuine chance our preferred player goes at Pick 1 or 2.
3) We believe our preferred player is likely to go at Pick 2 and we're hoping to spook Adelaide into trading up from 2 to 4 to secure their local lad, resulting in our preferred player sliding to 3 (and NM landing a more comfortable Tauru pick at 4).
Dreaming, SOS will bid you can bet your house on it…if his anger at us doesn’t convince you then the Pres’s words at the bnf should
Won’t matter, we’ll find someone to trade with and then trade back in a few spots later.

Luckily there's a fair few decent key defensive prospects around the mark, even if a bid does come for Ben and we have to slide down. I wonder if we are interviewing West for 38 or a later pick in the event we need to trade 38 out (due to Ben bid)?

Less worried about pick 3, think we will get a really good player.
Got my fingers and toes crossed that McMahon becomes a Carlton player, he is potentially our CHB next season.
Yep, if they want him - then they take him.
It’s not an over reach if you believe in the decision process & he’s who u have identified.
Just need the balls to pull the trigger - a well run club takes the player they want- not what the media says they should
If he does it will be as a rookie
He's just been carrying on about the bidding system and how unfair it is in general even though they got Owens NGA who's better than anyone we've got FS/NGA in the last 20 years. Now they've been gifted pick 8 through FA compensation, maybe he'll cheer up.

I’m all for the Sid Draper train!! When there was talk of us trading up for pick 3, Draper was one of the main reasons why I wanted us to do it!
Love his explosiveness and he’s definitely a POD!! Is his back injury a concern tho?

The supremely talented Sam Lalor appears to be firming as the favourite to be taken at pick 1 in next weeks National Draft. Unfortunately, calling these FULL season highlights is rather wishful thinking on my part as Lalor suffered through a series of injuries in 2024 which severely limited the amount of footy he was able to play.

I shouldn't but I still look at having 12 & 14 and we could easily have had names like Travaglia & Lindsay who could be as good as most
We will get a gun at 3 but we could have had two that could have really helped us

Have to be happy with this
Pick 38. (Carlton) – Noah Mraz
Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country –DEF, 198cm
The key defender was limited by injury earlier in the year, but showed promising signs with his aerial intercepting ability off half back and is able to read the play well and use his frame to push up the ground and go deeper down back.

Don't get me wrong, very, very happy if we get Draper.
Bit less so with FOS or Smith.
But some very likely lads in that 5-15 bracket.

As would I
10 days away. I can't see us taking anyone other than Lalor, Finn or Draper now.
Personally i'd be rapt with any of them. They all perfectly fit the stated, and obvious, needs of Carlton. Pace, explosive Mid/Forward. Bravo young Curly. What an inspired trade period he had. A slight crack appeared in the seas, and he spied it, and parted the seas to land a prime pick where we cannot lose on draft night.
We even have Jagga up our sleeve if one of the above get hit by a proverbial bus.
And acquiring Pick 38 for the disgruntled Kennedy is perfect for us as well. There is a plethora of athletic and highly promising KPD prospects around that mark, and bid or no bid, we will be able to manouver our way into one of our preferred ones.
Pick 3: We get exactly what we want and need.
Pick 38. Looking likely we get a pick here and get a choice of a few KPD prospects ie Dennis, Mraz, Nicholls, West etc. Maybe even M.Whitlock or Barrat. Slight chance of Campo bid should still allow us the chance of manouvering back in for one of the KPD's.
2 Campo's for very little cost.
Have enjoyed all the debate. Looking forward to the next 10 days of general draft info/debate.
