we cannot take players with disposal issues - we've seen how nigh on impossible it is to retro-fit quality kicking skills - this is one thing the hawks have taught every club

Dylan. His brother Ryan Clarke was drafted to North last year.Just on Ryan Clarke from the vision I have seen of him I have great concerns about his disposal by foot
Too true. Racking up high stats is great but above average DE and good decision making should be a prerequisite.we cannot take players with disposal issues - we've seen how nigh on impossible it is to retro-fit quality kicking skills - this is one thing the hawks have taught every club

I've been contemplating this. With the way SOS apparently helped out the Hawks to our disadvantage in the trade period you wonder what kind of gentleman's agreements are going on with zone selections and father/sons.Wonder if Setterfield will come into calculations at #5.
Would we bid or would that taint our trade relationship with GWS?
I think you're right... I also think Gcs would have a handshake with GWS not to bid on Bowes and Suns won't bid on Setterfield and Perryman... Also with Bris as part of their Hanley deal where Bris got a First and second round pick for the 28 year old (thats better than JOM).. highly illegal, but how do you police it...
We need to keep these bastards honest though and stop allowing them to get huge discounts on these players! GWS are now run by Richmond nuffies who tried to force us to trade Gibbs at crap value! **** them I say! Bid on Setterfield then Bowes if available I say. Nobody should be doing these academy teams any favours imo.Yeah there's not much point bidding is there?
You're not going to get the player, you make an enemy at the trade table and your draftee feels unloved as he was officially your second choice.
I see people say Brodie is a bit too 'vanilla'...but i like what im hearing about his competitiveness and mental toughness.
I wonder if he could be like a Rory Sloane...Sloane is 'vanilla' in a sense but he's competitive, works hard and just does everything to a high enough standard, without 'standing out' in any particular way.
I watched the Vic metro vs vic country game the other day and I was so impressed by how clean and strong Drew was! If he got through to 25 it would be an absolute steal but I doubt it. For me he is a top 20 pickWhat do you guys think of Drew?
He's an inside midfielder that in some ways reminds me of Dunkley. Tall for a midfielder(~190), good at the contest, good hands, average kick(better than Dunkley) and moves very well, long striding.
I think this kid has some real upside. At the moment he looks lanky but with his build l expect him to fill out and be a very strong midfielder.
Pick 25 might be around the mark for this guy. I expect Brodie to be taken by GC at 4 so we might look at a player like drew at 25.
If anyone feels like they know his game quite well let me know what your thoughts are regarding him.

To plan for a possible scenario is asking for trouble. We take the best available player, who will be a mid.Do we take the absolute class/silk in SPS at 5 and then a tough inside mid at 25 (in the knowledge that Fyfe is on his way here next year ) ?

To quote the late great Colin Hayes :
"The future belongs to those who plan for it"
I'm confident that for the first time in a long time Carlton have a strategic plan going forward .
Whether Fyfe is part of that plan and the groundwork has been done , only the inner sanctum knows at this stage .
First time we've had a dedicated List Manager and not the recruiter, the Head of Football Dept and CEO making decisions on who stays and who goes....what contracts are offered and when...mapping out a 3 year ongoing strategy and not winging it from year to year.
Wonder if this would have even come about had have Trigg not been at the helm.
EDIT: Has anyone heard anything more of Paul Brodie coming aboard this year?
Is Brodie's kicking as bad as some people are suggesting?Brodie was very impressive in the AIS games Vs VFL teams, earlier in the year.
Was really holding he's own up against the bigger bodies.
He is the best clearance player of this draft, good size at 189cm.
Dylan Clarke was the 1st ranked contested ball player in the TAC cup with Drew ranked 3rd
and Taranto ranked 5th.
This makes sense.Yeah, no denying that! You would think they would need to add some quality inside guys though, especially afer losing Prestia.

Trigg seems a methodical kind of bloke doesn't he .
His appearance's in the media appear planned with a clear narrative that he sticks to .
Carlton are certainly a tighter ship set on a course these days .
