I wouldn't be surprised to see us trade our F1 to get back into the top 30 of this years draft. plus some points for next yearI can see the BL & GC being interested in CFC's future first, both their 2025 U18 academy teams are stacked with talent. The QLD academy team rolled Vic Metro a month ago and will be heavily represented in the futures game next month. Brisbane still have pick 14 in the 2024 draft which will be swallowed up by Ashcroft if not traded.
So, how good is the young McGuane, he looks good! Is he a top ten pick? CFC will have to make a decision on whether to trade their future first now, risk the current team sliding further down the ladder or back the team to return to finals, or keep future first, see where McGuane lands and trade future first out next year.
If CFC and GC come to an arrangement this year for Noble and a future first. CFC could end up with a late first round pick and multiple second round picks, use in a trade for a player or this years strong draft.
*Mudding the water further is whether rules will be introduced next year by the AFL on Academy/FS equalisation, or not!
He'll be a first rounder, whether its top 10 or in the 2nd half of the 1st round depends on his development next year.
