So has Perryman picked us yet.
Twomey is the only guy I fully believeSam Edmund Reported he has
I'm hoping GC will do the first round pick swap for us. 20 or 26 for Noble would doThats true
That part I'm looking forward to, to see what we can do with the picks, and any pick trades.

And skill…so not much reallyBeaus acceleration is very handy to have especially at stoppages, just needs the endurance and the midfield nous.
Yepflipping hell watching today, I want that feeling back again desperately come on Pies let's go again. Bring on trade and draft period.

Petracca ain't picking the scum if chooses to leave end of next year.I guarantee you that if Carlton is able to score Petracca next year, you can mark them off to play against Brisbane in next year's grand final.
Sam Edmund Reported he has
Ted hasn't been excited for a while
I cannot find where he has reported this?
My view is that you don't draft for the first two years. You might get lucky with a Daicos or Ashcroft at the pointy end of the draft, but really you're drafting for years 3+. You go into the 2023 draft picking for someone you're hoping will do well and contribute between 2026 and 2036. Age 21-31. I wouldn't factor in any of the blokes you mentioned. We only have about 5 senior players who will play a lot of their career as contemporaries with last year's draft crop. Everything is a need for the period 2026+. With an old team, best available all the way.I kinda understand the hand wringing over Morris considering we were supposedly into him, but I’m in no way buying that he was a needs pick. This time last year we had Mihocek, AJ and McInnes as undersized KPF options which is well overstocked for a role that is super reliant on either freak athleticism or competitiveness. With Daniher gone next year it’ll be an interesting discussion to pick back up.
No, as a club if we’re going to be able to identify the best talent we need to back ourselves in to retain said talent. The only thing your supposed “lesson” would achieve is clubs passing over the best talent and allowing them to walk where they want to for fear of them going home, which would lead to an even more compromised draft.
It would be good if we can find a low level fwd who has great marking ability to come in and eventually replace Howe. We have seen countless time just how reliant we are on Howe bailing us out with his intercept marks, especially when moore was in his form slump.
Finding pure defenders with great intercept marking ability is very hard as there aren't that many going around, and the ones that are anywhere close to that level command a hefty salary and/or require a lot of draft capital to obtain. We are better of finding a Howe 2.0 at a significantly cheaper price.Or a defender even.
+1I think I just enjoy the draft more because its so good to see kids realising their dreams of being drafted.They spend their whole lives, worked so hard to get to this point.
Trade period just gives me stress lol
Why talk at all? We have no hope of getting him.Bewildering!
Houston is arguably the best kick in the game (certainly kicking out of defence) but apparently we don’t need him because we’ve got 5-gamer Parker and 0-gamer DeMattia coming into our backline mix.
