Hot Topic Carlton 2024 Trade Discussion

Ashcroft is never in conversations, so it's still effectively pick 3

You are correct, the player that is available to us straight after the Tiges and Norf picks, even if one of them bids on Ashcroft.........Ashcroft is in the "too much to hope for" draft section!!!......

I would not be disappointed if we go for Sam Lalor or Murphy Reid with that pick. Preferably Lalor.

Both are versatile enough to play forward too

As we need pace in the midfield I would be thinking Draper or Smith.......how good would that be, a Carlton midfielder that is actually fleet of foot!!! WOW

Hopefully Richmond pick Ashcroft with Pick 1 to flush out those Brisbane Lions points. Don't need them getting any better with extra picks.

I think a big bodied midfielder would be better. Draper and Lalor seem the best for that but still prefer Lalor.

Richmond seem to be taking Lalor.

Collingwood got absolutely rinsed in that megatrade. Wow.

Not sure but I just read a post on reddit that pretty much sums it up;

"The last club I would have picked to need a midfielder, and the last club I would have guessed Kennedy would go to for midfield time."

I mean they're losing Macrae, Daniel, and Smith, no?

Their defence is largely ancient, Libba doesn't have much left. Plenty of spots and opportunities, and the next in line haven't really stepped up consistently.

Kennedy would help connect a few dots at the stoppage, and would have more speed around him, but I doubt we're getting a top 30 pick.

Hopefully we end up with something in the mid 20’s as our second pick- even if it’s through additional trading

I don`t know if you follow "Gettable" on the AFL site with Riley Beveridge & Cal Twomey, but Beveridge is a Carlton supporter and is in the know with the draft and actually sees that one of the clubs biggest weaknesses is that we have no players in the middle of the ground with elite speed and elusiveness to compliment guys like Cripps, Hewett and Cerra who are all big strong bodied guys but lack pace. Beveridge seems to be leaning towards guys like Smith and Draper as the type that are essential to us improving our ball movement from the centre of the ground to our forward line, and that`s why I am doubtful about a Lalor or a Langford type bigger mid being taken with pick 3, but then everyone seems to like Lalor including the tiggers, so he may not still be on the shelf when we get to pick........

Well Freo do not get their hands on Baker now, so the deal for good or bad shut that down at least.......
