What are you realistic off-season recruiting expectations for Carlton? That encompasses draft and trade week.
Please be realistic.
What recruiting outcome do you think is challenging, yet still realistically attainable, and if delivered you'd sit back and be happy/content with?
Mine would be :
Get a good young midfielder at pick 5. Midfield is arguably our biggest list hole so we should use our first pick on the best midfielder.
Get Marchbank and Tomlinson without giving up pick 23. Getting these two settles our defense for the future and we still retain a good pick. Whether we get Stewart is irrelevant to me.
I accept we may have to give up pick 41 and maybe some other picks or non crucial players (Kreuzer, Everitt types).
Retain all of our good young players.
I don't expect we will trade Gibbs or Casboult, the two players I believe are the most likely value chips we would potentially entertain trading if the price was right.
So for me we walk away with 4 good young players. Not quite 6 or 7 but better than just 2.
It will be fun to revisit this thread after the draft to see if the club exceeded, met or fell short of your hopes.
