[Mutineer]

Melb pretty easily have the best draft hand, IMO

In prime position to get at 5 any one of FOS/Lalor/Smith/Draper if they slide, or get a great haul if they trade the pick

Plus they have pick 9

I think it would be FOS for Carlton given his family relation to Sam Walsh

 

[Trigger13]

so we very well may have a choice between smith and Draper.

I’m taking Smith.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I think it would be FOS for Carlton given his family relation to Sam Walsh

Would make a lot of sense. Lalor to Rich and FOS to Carlton would be a safe bet

Like I said, it's whatever NM decide to do that'll be the spanner in the works

 

[119others]

Nah Port will get what they want. GC will once again take a shit deal.

Yes I was saying the same thing but re Houston, they will try and manipulate the situation and force him to Kangas

 

[Jibroni]

Not sure yet - but there’s a third party involved

Strange trade for West Coast considering the offers they got for Reid last year.

 

[Mutineer]

so we very well may have a choice between smith and Draper.

I’m taking Smith.

I'm taking Draper if it comes down to choosing between those two.

 

[crow2crow]

Yes I was saying the same thing but re Houston, they will try and manipulate the situation and force him to Kangas

that doesnt help them get a pick in this draft

 

[George Kramer]

so we very well may have a choice between smith and Draper.

I’m taking Smith.

If there’s no go home risk for Smith then yep, but I’ve only seen highlights.

If Carlton go Draper we won’t have to worry about ignoring the local and copping shit

 

[George Kramer]

Strange trade for West Coast considering the offers they got for Reid last year.

If that’s why they’ve split to facilitate getting Baker then they are ****heads. Passing up a gun for a decent player who won’t be around for their premiership push

 

[Crow_68]

100% it did...thats why I wished it got signed off before they saw the blowback from their supporter base and talking heads in the media

Reckon there might have been a flood of calls and emails into the club this evening - Koch & co. would have buckled and overruled Cripps and Davies.

Sounds a bit like the Gibbs shemozzle.

 

[Trigger13]

I wonder if there’s a world where Richmond revert back to their ‘safe’ bet and choose Smith. Who they know intimately. Leaving Lalor for us somehow. Can only dream.

 

[crow2crow]

If there’s no go home risk for Smith then yep, but I’ve only seen highlights.

If Carlton go Draper we won’t have to worry about ignoring the local and copping shit

they want FOS. its been widely reported......

 

[crow2crow]

yeh but then hamish wont pick him. he'll pick slow langford...

 

[Danger in Texas]

They seem to really have a big love of Baker, for some reason. Going to all lengths to secure him

He's solid, but not even close to worth splitting pick 3 for

 

[George Kramer]

I could understand if they split to draft 2 players given how deep this draft is, plus if they were able to extract more, but for Baker? Nah.

 

[crow2crow]

Strange trade for West Coast considering the offers they got for Reid last year.

key words are if WC decide to split.... don't think this is going to happen. and owies is OOC and holds zero draft capital value.

i still think carlton go for houston last ditch

 

[TBM]

Would Carlton offer Pick 3 for Houston though?

 

[crow2crow]

Would Carlton offer Pick 3 for Houston though?

they wouldnt even cough up 12. now you think they will cough up 3.

they want Fin Osullivan with 3.

 

[Shifty Crow]

Zero chance

[ams4crows]

Houston camp need to nominate Collingwood as his club of choice and refuse to go to North.


The talk of Carlton trading for pick 3 is annoying as I'm not really on the Draper at Adelaide bandwagon was hoping he'd go to West coast and if he was good we could entice him back.

 

[Crow till I die]

Maybe they could trade 14 to Sydney for 19 & 21 as Sydney are apparently keen to move up. Then use 19 or 21 on Baker and go to the draft with 12 and the remaining pick

didnt they just trade up to get 14

 

[Crow till I die]

didnt they just trade up to get 14

That was Carlton who are trading that to WCE with 12 for 3 or something like that

 

[TBM]

they wouldnt even cough up 12. now you think they will cough up 3.

they want Fin Osullivan with 3.

Yeah that's what I would expect too. Stranger 180s have happened though

 

[ams4crows]

yeh but then hamish wont pick him. he'll pick slow langford...

Langford will be a better footballer though
