Any Idea how many spots on the rookie draft?
None.
We can only add Akuie as a cat B as far as I’m aware.

If another club picks up LOB or Cotts before we do, we can choose another player. But that's about it.None.

It is confusing. Some years they included the upgrades to be listed as actual draft picks.So we passed, I'm confused. I thought we needed to use picks to promote players?

Not this year apparently.
Must be updated to just pass on your pick and upgrades listed off the draft picks, which they should have always done.
I think its true with Cottrel, but I still think O'Brien is a need. Yes he hasn't reached what we all hoped but he hasn't been given a consistent run and we lack genuine wingers. His kicking is elite and I just can't deal with Newnes being our winger in 2022Not really. Means we could pick Schlensog or Polson or Dean, which would suit our needs better anyway.
Agree it was a smart trade at the time, but port played us like a fiddle.Thoughts:
- Welcome to Carlton, Jesse Motlop. Was not my preferred option but he's a good footballer and seems a fantastic kid. Get around him.
- Smart trade. Not sure why people are confused. We traded a pick we weren't going to use, for an extra pick in next year's draft which we're keen on. The pick won't be a high one, but it gives us more ammunition and extra flexibility.
- Two spots left to fill. We've committed to LOB and Cottrell, so that'll be what we see eventuate unless another club trumps us (very unlikely) or we decide to hold one over until the SSP (also unlikely).

We got their future 4th for a pick in the 50s which they used. But then they traded their pick in the 60s for West Coast's future 4th. Effectively improving their hand in both drafts unless they fall off a cliff.
Well I think we should be asking if we were in discussions with West Coast? We did them a pretty good deal for SPS, so why weren't they in the frame to pick up our second pick for their future 4th which will almost be guaranteed to be a better pick than Port Adelaide's future 4th.I don't really care what Port did with another club. I'm not sure why it matters to us.
We traded a pick we weren't using for a pick next year. There's nothing wrong with that, it makes perfect sense.
WCE are the ones that got screwed there, not us. Effectively gave away their 4th for nothing - they ended up with the next pick anyway.Agree it was a smart trade at the time, but port played us like a fiddle.

To be clear, I'm not saying we got screwed, I'm just challenging whether we were discussing the possibility with West Coast.WCE are the ones that got screwed there, not us. Effectively gave away their 4th for nothing - they ended up with the next pick anyway.

Rookie upgrades have not been done via the draft for quite a few years now.

Apologies if this is a dumb question or if it's already been answered but do we now want/have to pick up a player in the SSP to replace Jones' spot on the list?
Turned effectively a late 3rd round selection into a late future 4th. I still don't understand how we could book out or list before the draft is even run.Gave up a Brownlow medalist?

Was probably the weakest such trade of all that followed it, and we did it almost a full round before we needed to...

We’ll probably have some potentials come train with us, then pick up the one we like best during the ssp. Last year we had 4 including oMac and Crocker and went with omac, would expect something similar this year.Blues upgrade Kennedy, Honey
Matthew Kennedy and Josh Honey have been elevated to Carlton's senior list.www.carltonfc.com.au
Carlton will finalise its list tomorrow in the NAB AFL Rookie Draft.
Apologies if this has been answered before but, does this indicate that the Jones replacement will be made tomorrow with the rookie draft?
It will be interesting to see who we invite to train with the club with a view to filling Jones' spot. Be a good opportunity to have a look at Charlie Dean if he doesn't get drafted tomorrow.Yeah, forgot about the Jones situation. That'll be much later down the track I would think.
