Good we can put a rubber ring on them if Jagga ends up a bust!
absolutely no worries at all
But that will all depend on whether we need to keep a few of those " late " picks to enable us to sweeten or gain maximum value for our trade deals for Bakes, Sausage n $hai. Lots of possible permutations still to unfold, but I'd rather ensure we maximize the pick value of those trade deals as they'll all be unfolding around the very early picks. Not at the arse end of the first round.
In a deep n even draft like this year is claimed to be we certainly can. Personally think we need to be grabbing 8 to 10 newbies this year as it is anyway just to start the rebuild rolling properly. With another couple of retirements coming up at the end of next year I can see us doing another 4 to 6 newbies next year as well.
I just hope we can get 2 or 3 kids that wear the jumper like BigV, Cotchin, Edwards and Lambert
I'm a bit of a bear, zips but I reckon we'll do that. At least.
Jack Ough really impressing at the right time and massive upside for 1 of the youngest players in the draft

If we draft him, do we get to call him Whacko JackO????
Last night's was an omen.
Someone telling us, Don't get carried away with your bucket load of picks we have
Don't trade them out,
Don't reduce them
Don't swap
Etc
Because of this
Please Blair and Co keep every pick

Why not. If the quality of the respective drafts is as being suggested we’d be unlikely to get a better player in next year’s draft. Why delay the development by a year unnecessarily
If he’s available at one of our later picks we’d be negligent not to take him.
Have a look at the top 15 of that year and compare to the predicted draft picks we will have. Good draft....except Lennon
It should be telling us to trade them though, Pick 12 was the pick we got from our ladder position, so if you are saying that we should hold because of our ladder position then that tells us to trade not hold right?
Cripps almost has as many Brownlows as we won premierships since he was drafted.
I just think bringing in 7-8 kids is too many in one year. we'll be like lambs to the slaughter in 2025. Plus, staggering drafting kids will also help with the age profile of the list. We also need to factor in negotiating contracts. If we draft 7-8 players, we hope they'll all be good enough to get a new contract in 2 years. It just feels like some of them should be staggered due to practicality.
He is a vote magnet, I watched quite a few Carlton games this year and certainly wouldn't have thought he'd had a 30+ vote year yet alone 45
Any future Brownlow medalists in this thread? I'd be happy if we picked a few who just got votes.
I like to refer to him as the Deledio selection.

We are going to be lambs to the slaughter in 2025 regardless. The quality is not in the list and that is the area we need to focus on. So yea if we can get 7 or 8 first round picks we take them all. We then have a low win count next year and potentially end up with the #1 pick again. We can move some picks to 2025 however from what I have heard the 2025 is not shaping any where near this one. Therefore the majority of picks need to be taken this year.
There is also Tasmania looming large from 2026 onwards so we need to get the quality (and in numbers) in now
