Carlton are going to get in front of 32 and bid on Cole
That’s boring though, we’ve been talking about the same 4 players plus Campo’s since the end of trade period…
I’d prefer a bit of the “Saints are a deplorable, bottom feeding, scum sucking, piece of shit club they’ve always been” and some “Dodo screws over the scum one last time, wish he wasn’t leaving kind of chat” for a little bit

Spot on Jimmae. I’m with you on this one.
What they have in mind though, I have no idea! Ha!

Right, after going back and watching all the highlights of the draft prospects again for the 100th time
If we keep pick 3 I reckon we are going to go for FOS (if he’s available at 3)
It just makes sense in terms of what we need plus the strong family link with Walsh.
If he’s not there at 3 I reckon it’s Sid.
If we trade pick 3, which I genuinely think is a realistic possibility. It will be for overs in our favour. I’m not against this and I don’t see it as a slide like some are saying.
In a deep draft we could get 2-3 amazing players versus 1 potential gun.
That’s not a slide.
Ask me again tomorrow and I will have changed my mind again!

Austin did all that work to trade up to pick 3 to get one of the best kids in draft!!!! We are taking it to the draft
Is anyone saying we’ll only take 4?
I think the consensus is we’ll take 4 in the ND to make 36 senior, and then 1 rookie as it now seems we’ll be leaving 2 SSP spots open.
is Langford in the conversation for us
Blue and Silver
Brownlow Medallist
I assumed Langford was out of calculations, so I hadn't done much research on him.
My apologies, he's not slow in any way that matters.
Probably the best player in the draft

he's a gut runner. not quick. but runs hard from contest to contest. remember this is a 10 - 12yr player we're investing in, not just impacting straight away

Which makes Langford such a great option because his both! He can make an immediate impact next year as well as being 250 plus game player!!!
All great options tbh - FOS, Langford, Lalor, Jagga and Draper

Didn't I say he was probably the best player in the draft?

I don't think it will happen, but all that Jim's suggested is that we'll likely have done some planning in case a good offer comes our way.
Say NM elect not to trade down with Richmond, out of fear that Melbourne will pinch Tauru at 5. Tigers take FOS at 1 believing we want him. Tauru goes at 2. Now we could take one of Lalor, Langford, Draper or Smith at 3....but there is a guarantee that at least one of the four last to Pick 6 (maybe two if Melbourne grab Armstrong). Tigers still want Lalor, so they offer up say 6 and 18 for 3 and 38. I reckon we consider that.
Pick 6 gets whichever of Draper, Smith and Langford slip past Adelaide and Melbourne, all of whom we've strongly considered at Pick 3.
In doing so, we upgrade 38 to a pick in the late teens for a more highly rated tall, goal-smart small forward, or a slick rebounding general defender.
As I said...don't think it ends up happening, but it's certainly not an outlandish scenario. And 100% we'd be working through the permutations now so we know what we would/wouldn't accept come draft night.

Spoke to a recruiter for the anti-dentites at dinner. Langford #1 in his eyes despite my pessimism towards taking him at our pick.
I just hope and pray if we do pick him a pre season program in a professional environment gives him and extra yard of pace like it has with Bont.
I don't discount his kicking or ability to impact up forward but I worry greatly about our general speed around the ball for when we aren't winning the Lions share of the ball

For me Langford should be last on that list as Carlton do not need another big lumbering type of player in the midfield as we already have enough in Cripps, Hewett and Cerra, and while he does have his unique set of skills the club are supposed to be looking at players with pace and more pace as we don`t have a player with that burst of speed out of the centre. To me Langford shapes as a taller version of Lalor but without his speed, and is more of a forward than a dead set mid......Does not solve our midfield quick extraction plan in my view......I really feel that Austin wants either FO`S or Draper, and as the so called draft specialists are saying.......Draper (baring injury!) is ready to step up from round 1 next season........hoping for one of those two, even though Smith is being compared to Cotchin by some. Doesn`t look like a sniper, but there you go!!!
combine either with walker who's our explosive player
