Was only thinking that last night. Nothing compared to what his family is dealing with but losing your head recruiter weeks before the draft with a near record bevy of first round picks is so RFC 2024
“Personally, Sid Draper would seem to be a perfect fit. The South Australian product might be the best prospect full stop.
His agility and speed as a starting inside midfielder have been on show all season at a high level. He’s the sort of player who can play early and play often and is a complete point of difference to what Carlton has.”
From “The Roar” today……18/10
Backs up my thoughts (regarding Cartoons FoS charade) which are probably incorrect ….. much like most of BF.

From my own selfish and somewhat immature perspective, I would like Jagga Smith as our No 1 draft pick just so the crowd can sing "He's got the moves like Jagga" every time he kicks a goal
That would be truly awful.
Also beware the bloke flying up the draft charts when there hasnt been a game of football for 2 months.Big call to overlook the Flying Viking at 6 Smoker!!
Great to get a guy standing on heads in the forward line then bouncing back quicker than anyone else!!
I cant see us not taking 2 of the best mids available at picks 1 & 6. I cant see Jagga sliding to pick 6.
Same it's mid-mid-mid to start then reassess. With Blues diving into 3, the order may very but I'm warming to Langford at 6. That's my lock for us.

Twomey had him top 10 before the season finished.
Most of the time the guys coming up the charts are only rising in media predictions.
Clubs nearly always had the player that high and media just cottoning on as they get more info.

Yes that’s true, look at Lalor, he has risen to number one allegedly without any football or combine results. Seeing his potential I can understand why but on the surface it seems strange.
In alot of ways taking lalor and Tauru makes alot of sense for us, especially considering Lindsay / Smillie / Murphy / Allan will be available at 10, and we will still have 11 as well, so we would get two of these players, or maybe even Travaglia if he slips
The more I think about this, the more it makes sense to hold.
2 of them tipped us into the 2017 flag, Presty n Cadds ( the long way via Geelong ). Lynchman was added for 2019.
Same, plus when push comes to shove I don’t see Tauru going at 2 and every possibility that he is still available come our Bolton picks.
I feel the same. I think North are working the phones 24/7 trying to trade down. The Calrton link to FOS seems boring and too easy, Sam Walsh's cousin, blah blah, blah, I reckon they are keen on someone else. But North at 2, hold the keys to the kingdom and the draft order.
I'm still Jagga at one but won't be up in arms over FOS or Lalor. You can make a case for both. It's a good top three. I fee like Lalor is more Carlton's target then FOS. They wanted Petrecca and why not go and get the closest thing in the draft?
Mick Ablett who is pretty good in the player talent space on SEN this morning reckons Blair Hartley is an absolute genius to end up with the draft hand we have and it was deliberate by Blair to have this many picks this year, (referring to trading we did last year for future 2025 picks), in what in his opinion is the strongest draft in 6-8 years. Not great to lose players but if you had to do it it was absolutely the right time.
Talent so good and deep he would take all picks to the draft and wouldn't trade into 2025 unless they got some unbelievable offer.
He also personally wouldn't bundle picks for pick 2.
Say's if we get draft right he could see us bouncing back in 2 to 3 years.
