Carlton have done it again, taking a midfielder in Lucas when the obvious selection was available.

Talia is a strong-marking versatile KPP in the mould of Michael Hurley minus the ethnic beatings.

Fail persists at Carlton :eek:
 
I can't believe how pathetic they are at drafting, unless they have the number 1 pick (which they **** up anyway, Cotchin >>>>> ProActiv), they just completely fall to pieces.

Talia would have been their best tall if they took him, but I guess when you have the likes of Brad Fisher, why would you bother with more talls?

Carlton fans were going nuts on the radio, gotta love em. Thanks again for making Draft Night the best comedy event of the year Carlton.

I am just happy we had a pick in the Top 25.
Someone started a thread a few weeks ago about how good the talent was in the top 25.
I cannot believe any club would have been stupid enough to trade away a top 25 pick in this draft :eek:

We will see how Lucas goes.
They are all as good as each other at the moment as far as i am concerned.

You don't mind trading quality for quality. Carlton just swapped Fev for an untried midfielder.

Surely KPP was the way to go. Talia even plays midfield pretty well.

We traded a 29 year old FF for a 20 year old KPP who would have gone before any tall in this draft.

If Talia is that good, the club with KPD as fragile as Gilham, Croad (Matt Egan board), Gibson and Schoenmakers would have kept pick eight and reached for him.

A bit like Thorp and Dowler.

:D
 
Take your pick Carlton.......

Hmmm.

We lost pick 11 and gained pick 12.

We still had a top 25 pick which as posted in another thread was gold in this draft.

You missed the part where your only key forward is included in that deal. :eek: After trading your only other key forward a couple of years before that. :eek:
But hey you got Yarran. :eek:
 
The best is looking at all the threads proclaiming their love for Talia and how they should, in no possible way, consider drafting a midfielder with their first pick.

Even better is reading posts about how thrilled Coll is about getting a discarded, injury prone midfielder.

You guys desperate for mids or what? :)
