No mate. More gut feel. Nank, Soldo, Ryan Mate and Chol. I think if a club came to us with a first round pick we wouldn’t hesitate to take it.

I reckon Chol is as good as gone (unrestricted free agent) and Mate is years away.

I think the club would want a top 10 pick if he were to be traded.

Pretty sure Caddy won't be at the club next year. We may even front some salary to move him.

There's zero point having a 29-year-old in the twos. He'll always be a two-time flag star but he's gotta go.

Very interesting. When Soldo is back, I can still envision a spot for CJ. I can't see one for Chol.

I can. Second ruck / forward. He is a better player than CCJ. Chol has him covered for leap, mobility around the ground and provides a different look up forward.

Chol has him covered as a salesman at the Telstra shop, where he'll be after his next stint as third ruck at a *smile* club.

With the hindsight of tonight game, nank is clearly the most important ruck. Chol to be kept as he would walk for nothing as a free agent but provides flexibility between ruck and forward line. Keep soldo as the back up and nurse him back from injury. he was playing great footy before injury. Ryan is the development ruckman with great potential


CCJ has trade value and is the one to go. A pick between 15-20 or packaged with an upgrade of draft picks would be a great outcome

Massive off season for Clarke. Time is on their side but Stacky and Pickett are the only players taken since 2018 that have consistently performed at AFL level. Mansell, Dow, Ralphy and MJ were brushed aside last night.

That’s harsh. You can’t judge those kids yet.

That's true they may still make it. They just can't compete consistently yet. It's probably a reflection of not having any picks under about 17 for four years.

Yep. Clarke is now shopping at an end of the draft he's unaccustomed to. Interesting times.
