Hot Topic Carlton 2024 Trade Discussion

[Michael Jezz]

I have been very critical of Austin for not being aggressive enough and moving the talent dial. Whether you are for or against the outcome of this trade period, for Carlton, at least, we pursued a defined objective to fill holes, get passed average or players surplus to needs and bring in generational talent. This compares favourably to the scatter gun approach of trading out top 10 picks for players and pinning our hopes on 2nd & 3rd round draftees There is always a chance of pick 3 not working, although unlikely. However at least Austin has swung the bat

Would the football manager have the sole say in appointing the coach though, from memory Licuria was involved as well.

And didn’t he beat out Adam Kingsley with Pyke pulling out during the process? Was Voss not short listed or did he not apply?

I think it was Graham Wright, Licuria and chief executive Mark Anderson.

Short list was McCrae, Voss, Kingsley (runner up for the roll) & Jaymie Graham.

I was genuinely asking what roll (if any) Wright would have with MC.

Thinking coming over with 2 SA boys who he'd have played a hell of a lot of footy with in the Campo twins will help significantly. I'm not stressed about it personally.

Moir as well.

All played with Draper for SA though.

If we select Draper, imo he’ll be fine.
Few other s.a boys that he would know and playing on the g every second week in front of 80k. Will love it

Looking at what picks we can upgrade in the draft.

Pic 38 is the main one to upgrade.

Maybe we offer pick 68, 69 and 38 to Hawthorn for pick 31 and 77? Would that maybe get us out of that Ben Camporeale danger zone? Most likely be of no interest to Hawthorn unless they think the next wrung of players are much of a muchness and another 4th round pick could be useful.

The other one you could go for, assuming the draft falls the right way and we are still guaranteed one of our targets would be: Pick 3, 38 and maybe 60 for pick 6 and 24.

I have a feeling that the first few teams will be all after the same players thought so likely we stay with the picks we have.

Maybe we try and package a couple of our picks in the 60s for a slightly better pick.but that's probably about it.

I think we will be wanting to be really busy again next year. The theme will be very much along the lines of cleaning out all the second rate forwards and we will be after forwards and a key defender. I am glad we have a really early pick, it's going to put our list back in good shape, that and with some quality father sons the next few seasons we will be pretty handy for some time to come I feel.

You’d want (and get) more than 24 to slide 3 to 6, let alone throw anything else in.

Could ask for 23, 18 or even 11 but they would have to want to do that.

I think it only happens if picks one and two are not players on our list and if our list is long enough for a target of equal value to still be there at that pick. So we still get what we want and we gain a good pick upgrade.

I doubt we would consider moving back after spending so much to move up, but it would cost 18 at a minimum. We’d ask for 11.
