Unofficial Preview Death Ride ‘25! A Carltank campaign (pick 8) - traded to Carlton as part of a pick swap to give Hawthorn two first round draft picks

[badgrill]

Let's just go with "barracking".

Or maybe even just 'hoping''

Such a classy bunch at Carlton.
Voss has allegedly received threats with the AFL Integrity department investigating.

Will be awkward when it turns out the threats are from the Carltonians.

 

[wahawk]

At least the saints have drafted well of late.
2021 NWM, Owens, windhager and Sharman MSD
2022 philippou Keeler
2023 Wilson Hastie Garcia (also Collard and Shoenmaker)
2024 travaglia tauru Boxshall (also Barratt and Dodson) with Max Hall MSD

Compare that to Carlton - I’m not going to bother listing any apart from Jagga Smith and maybe Ollie Hollands. It’s dire.

The scenario in question was not just about drafting.
It was whole club professionalism

One thing Saints have zero of.

I’ll put 50 bucks on it being that PrimeWalsh douchebag

Why is the AFL investigating a possible crime? This AFL Brand Management Integrity Unit is an obvious joke.

Whately opening line on 360 next week:

"Hawthorn will be monitoring Carlton's trajectory with acute vigilance, fervently imploring rival clubs to usurp them on the ladder, a sense of intense desperation underpinning their vested interest given the high stakes of holding the Blues draft picks so tightly in hand. More on what this means for the legacy of 350 game premiership hero and Brownlow medallist decorated champion of the game Patrick Dangerfield later in the show".

Will be one of the coteries for sure.

Even more funny when I read that in his voice. So spot on to what he'd say, too.

Left out reference to Hawthorn’s free kicks, everyone at Box Hill on the weekend wanting to request a trade, our reliance on Gunston and unsettled backline after recruiting Barass and Battle”

If they find the bloke, he should be locked in a small room with Voss and made to say them again.

Two men enter, one man leave....!

On a serious note:

I never imagined I'd live to see a day when Carlton could make my AFL draft dreams come true by gifting us an early pick during a year when we're contending.

Don't care if the club trades it away either. It's just glorious to even consider the possibility of having the pick.

We're also in a weird position three weeks from now where we're effectively playing for double percentage points against them: that game is a valuable chance for us to gain percentage in a log jam top 8, while taking it off the blues who are in a similar position in the lower rungs.

C'mon club with that weird mascot who has confused kids for decades... help us get an early pick AND a finals boost!

You're close, but for completeness...

It’s probably the players…

Season over now dropping the senior players

Season over now dropping the senior players

Yep - the tank has pulled out of the garage

 

[TassieGrown]

Dropping senior players next is season ending ops - bring it on

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Tanking for the TDK compo > our pick.

Do it and do it well Carlton

 

[cryptor]

Tanking for the TDK compo > our pick.

Do it and do it well Carlton

Imagine they tanked for that reason but then TDK had a massive falling out with the club and decided to leave via the PSD out of spite so they get nothing while we get a top 5 pick.

Take my like goddamnit!

Carlton have a legitimate chance to finish 16th and give us pick 3 and pick 21.
If uncompromised, pick 3 would be the highest pick we've had in the draft since 2005. (Ellis)

They still have to play Brisbane, Melbourne, us, freo, Gold Coast, port and Essendon. I reckon they will only beat Melbourne.

North has an easy fixture with Melbourne, Sydney, saints, richmond

Saints also have an easy fixture, with Richmond, north, Essendon, Melbourne.

Melbourne play north, Carlton, saints, west coast.

It would take a lot of luck, but if Carlton's players have checked out and they only win one or two more, we could have the third pick ( not counting fs or academies )

It’s hard to see any wins the way they are playing, on current form I think they are only beating the scum. Demons have been playing a lot better than the results show. The scum are struggling to get a team together they will start to put players out for the season shortly, they could be awful by the last round.

1 win out of the last 7 would be a great result but a big chance to get 0

 

[Snoref]

TBH Carlton should be tanking, they will lose TDK and they would want the lowest pick possible. Why win a few and finish mid table for?
