Jack carrolI feel like when Carltoon were down the bottom for so long they acted like campaigners in the PSD. Time to return the favour 10 fold.
Who we gonna target?
There'd be plenty of Carlton players getting underpaid with Williams, Curnow, Cripps, McKay, Weitering, Saad, McGovern, De Koening and Walsh taking the lions share.

lol dating is there still such a word?In April 2024, it was confirmed Reid was dating AFLW player Yasmin Duursma, sister of Xavier and Zane.
ThreeFreo has four first rounders they can offer us, plenty of value to be had.

Hearing about Smillie makes me think this year might be the perfect year to split pick #1.
Since 2010, here is where pick 1’s would go in a re-done draft - approx:
2010: Swallow (outside top-5)
2011: Patton (outside top-20)
2012: Whitfield (around 4-5)
2013: Boyd (outside top-20)
2014: McCartin (outside top-20)
2015 Weitering (top-3)
2016: McGrath (outside top-10)
2017: Rayner (outside top-10)
2018: Walsh (top-5)
2019: Rowell (around 6-7)
2020: JUH (top-3)
2021 onwards (too early)
If there was a locked and loaded guaranteed gun - ala Walsh, JHF … then hold #1. I remember there was zero doubt Walsh and JHF would be stars. They may not end up
the best players from their draft year, but close enough to it.
If there’s doubt about Smillie being a definite gun then why not split the pick if we could get a #4 and #7 for example?
Teams are scared to trade #1 ‘just in case’ the pick becomes a superstar. But if #1 elect has question marks …. imagine Lions traded #1 and instead of Rayner got LDU (4) and Naughton (9). Yes, they could have mucked up both picks, but in a year the #1 doesn’t seem clear cut IMO it’s worth considering if big enough offers come in.

Pretty sure they need to use at least one at the draft to try satisfy the AFLs rule of taking 2 1st round draft picks to the draft in a 4 year period. They gave up their 2022 and 2023 1sts for Jackson. Jackson being so young will probably get them off the hook for one of them like JHF did for Port.Four which included Baker in the deal.
3 x 1st Rounders this year
1 x 1st Rounder next year
That won’t happen now that Bolton has said he wants to stay. Things could change but for now that’s where it’s at.
As I’ve maintained, Baker if he goes (which I’m leaning that he will) will only be to WCE despite what’s happening.
Yeah that's how it goes as they usually end up with the bottom team. And the ones that move on after a while make poor choice of new team. Boyd was having a nightmare season at dogs only came good for that grand final.Only 4 #1 Picks have won flags: Banfield,Headland,Hodge,Boyd and Boyd won it at his second club....![]()
Seems like we both agree on what Bolton can be as a player and that he needs the right situation to truly flourish and become a consistent player, but disagree on what his worth is at the trade table.I think we might be getting confused between what Bolton is worth to us and what he is worth to a contending team. Contending teams have much higher tariff priorities, if for example they need a strong experienced key defender to handle opposition big forwards(like the Hawks' Brian Lake acquisition in 2012) that player can literally make the difference between multiple flags and no flags. Fremantle have lost Henry, Shultz and Walters is just about finished. A player like Bolton can turn the resultant weakness into a huge strength for them, and he can add some serious dynamism to a classy midfield as well. In his prime in a strong team with a good defensive ethic, he could tear a quality opponent to shreds in minutes in a final.
For the last 3 years including 2024 Shai Bolton is the highest rated player AND has the highest coaches votes of any player in the AFL defined as a mid-forward. Those are the only 3 years he has been defined as a mid-forward. Over those 3 seasons he produced the AFL #2 AFL #1 and this year AFL #5 rating of any layer defined as a forward. And he has been in the top handful of forwards for coaches votes.
To overpay for Bolton is a privilege for Fremantle, so it would be rude to rob them of that privilege.
But in reality he is also a very big asset for us to lose. If they don't pay the price plus some then it is just better to retain him on our list.

of course we cop a dud draft when we have pick 1I would look at it , we can still pick up a gun mid
And maybe a key forward like Shanahan
So far there is no clear cut number 1
Which means we can kill 2 birds with 1 stone
If the offers are what we want.
CFL are holding out the good players pretending they're only 17.of course we cop a dud draft when we have pick 1
of course we cop a dud draft when we have pick 1
