I didn't think I would...but then I didn't think Menzel would go all Harold Holt on us.i would like us to invest, in small forwards for the rookie draft.
Real skinny, electric pace and keen goal sense.
I miss Jeffy

Give us the blurb on himdid anyone see Hardwick in U18's, thought he looks a gun in the making. Flying under the radar. Snagged 10 in Tac earlier in the year aswell.
Ainsworth not eligible for the draft until next yearNick o'Kearny with our second pick? Only thing holding us back from picking him I reckon is the fact we have a plethora of halfback small defenders.
Also if we pass on Wietering, K Collins or Riley Bonner is a must.
Ben Aisnworth is also worth a look in the second round, we seriously lack speed and goalkicking prowess up front, he would fit our needs and I reckon he could slip to 30-35.

bonner is 190cm i think?-If O'kearney is going to make it, it's as a mid
- Collins, I highly doubt lasts to our second
-Bonner isn't a KPD
-as someone else said, Ainsworth is next year, if he was eligible this year, he'd go top 10 anyway
-
...everything else I agree with
He certainly would not last until the second round if he was eligible.
Our tanking efforts are ludicrously transparent this season.
As I have been ignorant of most things non-Carlton for most of my football supporting life, can someone answer me this... When was the last time a KPD was picked up at no.1 in the draft and did he end up being one of the premier backmen in the league?
Of the current day players:
Alex Rance appears to be considered to be the best backman in the league at the moment (debatable I'm sure) and he went pick 18 in 2007.
Tom McDonald (???) pick 53, 2011.
Hurley seems to be the highest pick of the current decentish backmen... pick 5, 2008.
Easton Wood pick 43, 2007 (it could be just me but I don't really remember this guy doing anything particulalry flash before this year... Does M. Watson picked at 18 in 2010 get as much time to develop?)... and then there's...
Malceski, pick 64, 2002... has been a premier backman for a few years
Brian Lake was pick 71, 2001...
Harry Taylor was pick 17, 2007 but turned 18 in 2004...
Matthew Scarlett was pick 45 in 1997...
Looking at this obviously incomplete list, I'm seeing a trend... and it is what is always said about talls, they take a long time to develop... I suspect that it's a rare thing to be a decent backman before 25 years of age...
Can anyone add more to this story, or counter?
SOS was obviously a father/son and I don't know when he would have been drafted... he won Carlton's b&f in 1990 as a 23 y.o. and then again in 1996 as a 29 y.o... His best game was arguably the '95 Grand Final...
Jacob Weitering would be a great list fit if Schache was off the table. Would be totally ideal if Cam Giles turns out alright as well. Basically means that Giles will be able to play as that third tall intercept mark defender and Rowe your lockdown defender. Would be nice if we could have Fields and Giles as those third tall intercept marking defenders
I'm also warming to the idea of selecting Harry Mckay, moblie mid who is a ruckman size. Saw him play quite a bit as a junior with my little brother. He was a mid not a ruckman/ KPP when he was 14-15 yo but he is still able to play those roles well.
Rowe should only be at the club for another couple of years and then be replaced by Giles.Rowe is a disaster.
Brisbane are a joke atm so expect pick 2.I really can't see us not having either pick 1 or 2 by the end of the year.

Can't think of a Carlton player who would have been coming from further back than Giles.Rowe should only be at the club for another couple of years and then be replaced by Giles.
