Why would they need to? They have the same forwards they won a premiership with and will add Membrey for nothing.

With Noble wanting out, half back was the clear area of need for the list besides key defence. Battle would have been nice but the Hawks beat us to him, and Barrass is older, a lesser player and less reliable ina couple of years when we’ll be resetting.
If not for securing Houston, we’d have been probably lining up Hoskin-Elliott and/or the 5 game Wil Parker for the position. The dominoes that fall as a result of getting Houston are big. Several players benefit with regards to their role.
Perryman will rotate between back and mid. Big contract but he boosts depth in multiple positions.
Adelaide hasn't lacked depth. Their SANFL side has been far better than Ports.
They lack top end talent, especially a full time gun mid.
They have probably improved but I'm not sure if it is as much as people are thinking.
And yes, like everyone, they did better than Port.

No, Adelaide lacked depth. We traded out 2 players from our best side this season & also lost Sloane.
We were found wanting with players lacking experience when we had injuries or suspension.
Sure Port have less depth, but doesn't mean Adelaide lacked depth too.
It's why it was so important to bring in 3 players for next season.

Most sides achieve nothing and then have to rebuild with your stock standard draft picks, maybe a free agent compensation, an older player trading out.
The perfect set of circumstances eventuated for our rebuild and we got a premium on a number of players who we would have gotten much less for if they weren't premiership players. This is an expansion side draft hand we have been given and if we take all the picks and really nail 5-6 (or more) of them, we are going to bounce back hard.
Our core of top end talents are still young outside of Dawson and Rankine, Fogarty has shown this year he can take the next step as a top end talent next year. The SANFL side is strong as there are quality youngsters coming through and also we've carried 3-4 players with more experience in the AFL side who shouldn't be there which is the same as you guys playing McEntee, Narkle and Evans but after recruiting 3 best 22 players then these players will be push out of the best 22 (provided Nicks doesn't continue to select them).

Richmond is rebuilding from ground zero - got value for their players but will struggle for the rest of this decade
Collingwood added a couple of class players final year of Penndles and Sidebottoms footskills. There is nothing underneath - very weak depth even with the two quality additions
Essendon - really couldn't afford to do nothing in this draft unless accumulating picks to make a big play on the trade table next season otherwise being so quiet makes no sense.
..everyone else, who?

Not what I said - rest of the decade.
Mmm
And if you are really lucky this draft you will get 3 players as good as Bolton. Rioli and Baker

How’d you rate Carlton’s depth after the trade/FA period?

I think you have to look at what the goal of the trade period is for each club.
Richmond did a cleanout - and one of the more extreme/effective ones we've seen. Total tank job for sure and would be very surprising if they don't get the spoon next year.
(Compare to west coast and north in similar positions - WC did some weird moves and North topped up with some pensioners).
Collingwood is the one I can't get my head around. Paid a big contract to Perryman who really has never been a top mid at GWS and not really shown much more than a flexible role player. Houston is a gun but surely they had to go hard at getting key position players? They've spent all their picks on a forward pocket and a HBF the last two years?

Do you think adding depth is a difference maker for you though?
Are you concerned about the midfield still?

Absolutely depth was an issue for us this year as we regularly had very inexperienced teams.
The midfield is definitely stronger now, not only with the ins, but with more players now 50+ games.
No excuses for Nicks next year as we have around 30 decent AFL level players.
