Hartley is just as good as Brown IMO.
Yeah but they are different style of player correct? I thought Hartley would be competing with Hooker as the gorilla FB and Brown could play Gwilts role without giving up height and athleticism to 3rd talls

Hartley is more athletic than Hooker and very similar to Brown.

Hard to find someone who he plays like, he is good inside and outside, tackles pretty well, puts his head over it and can run forward for a goal.
Just like Heppell you know he is going to be a really good player.
My personal favourite from this draft is Kieran Lovell.

12 and Black would be brilliant! Can't see us getting any more than Carlisle though, sadly.
Pick 12 and either swap our 4th rounder for their 2nd rounder OR swap our 3rd and 4th for their 2nd and 3rd.
Wouldn't mind if we gave Mitch Brown an opportunity too with one of our later picks (swaps mentioned above could come in handy).
Cherry on top would be a good ruck via FA.

He comes across to me as a more polished less dominant version of Rory Sloane.

Mason Wood is a cracker although Dumont is no slouch, take either

If CArlton and Brisbane are able to offload Kreuzer and Leuny respectively via Free agency and get band one compo somehow from someone, there is every chance we could end up with pick 6 which would be farcical.

Would anyone else like to see us take an American ruck or something on the Cat-B rookie list this year? The guys that tested at the combine seemed like athletic freaks last year, we've seen with Mason Cox (Collingwod) doing well in the VFL and Jason Holmes (Saints) getting his debut last week and showing some good signs, that there is definitely potential there. And given how well Connor McKenna as been going I don't see why we shouldn't continue to look for alternative rookie picks.
There is little chance that Carlton or Brisbane get band one compo for Kruezer or Leuy. Maybe if there was exodus and the compensation is combined across players but no club is going to pay a couple of injury prone ruckmen a fortune.

The media (don't ask me who precisely, because I can't remember) seemed to suggest earlier in the week that Leuenberger would not be worth Band 1 compo, and while Kreuzer could earn the Blues a Band 1 compo pick it's unlikely given his injury history, that clubs would be willing to pay him a premium salary (but you never know).
Like that. Could snag us Parish and Mathieson in rd 1, then some decent ones in Rd 2 in Lovell, Brind, Partington, Milera.

100% there is no reason we shouldn't. Even if we get one to turn into a 200cm key back or forward. We would be silly not to. I feel like every club is on the look out. Guys like McKenna and Cox had multiple teams to pick from. So my understanding is that it's not about picking one for the sake of it. The men at the top know the right talents.
If Carlisle is bent on leaving I bet it's better than what the Blues are offering...

I'd be really happy to have a Durdin on the team. Especially if his first name is Tyler..

It kinda depends really if he nominates a club, if he leaves I don't particularly care where he goes as long as we get fair value in return and he chooses a club that finishes above us on the ladder (i.e. so we don't have to worry about any of that PSD crap we copped from the Dogs two years ago, etc.).
Quick question, if Carlisle nominates a club do we have to trade him there? Or can we force him elsewhere?

1st rounder this year and their 2nd rounder from next year. The kangas will be backing themselves to finish top 4 next year thinking their 2nd rounder will be about 36-40. I'd be hopeful they wouldn't make the 8 with their ageing list

If he nominates a specific club, because he is out of contract then we are forced to deal with them. So lets hope that he either doesn't nominate a specific club (in which case we shop him around for the best possible return), or he nominates a side that sits above us on the ladder so that the "PSD card" can't be pulled on us.
Personally if the rumours are true that the Saints would be willing to put Pick 5/6 on the table for him, I'd hope he nominates them.

Nominating isn't a formal agreement - it's just saying "Make it happen or I'll walk to the draft". If a player did it while contracted they wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
