We do have woman on the Carlton board

Are you really that surprised that a StKilda supporter is a Neanderthal?
 
I’m of the opinion the list needs some surgery at the top end, this senior core have had 5 years together and produced some great footy at the end of 2023 and the ent footy at the start of 2024, but nothing to suggest it’s got another gear to match the Top 4, consistently with the required skill base or mental strength.

If our senior core is (debatable of course)
Cripps
Walsh
Hewett
Cerra
Weitering
Newman
Saad
TDK
Curnow
McKay
JSOS

You don’t want to cut too deep. Doesn’t work, any team that’s done it has been devoured by mediocrity. 80/20 Pareto Rule, you could lose 2 of those players for draft picks, any more than that though and your senior core is too thin and susceptible to form and injury such that the damage to the development of the younger players becomes a quagmire. So if TDK and JSOS are gone for draft picks, any other of the senior players need to be replaced by another senior player.

If Curnow goes as well, it can’t be for draft picks. It’s got to be for what we are clearly lacking.

I would not be upset at all to lose TDK, JSOS and another senior player though, we need a rejig of the list. The only one in my opinion who we couldn’t lose is Weitering. Anyone else, if the deal is right, it’s time to make some moves.
 
Not sure if I'm right about this or not... BUT

AFL compensation is worked out by total loss...

So could the combined loss of TDK + JSOS give us 2 x band 1 compo picks??
It's never been tested like it will this year but in theory I believe you're correct.

Highly doubt we're any chance of that however.

No team is trading players for Curnow.

This draft isn’t that good.

Hence why I think it’s ludicrous to trade Curnow for picks.

Unless he becomes Max Gawn level of effective it’s a bad investment.
They're banking on the potential he's shown become actual talent and he becomes one of the premier ruckmen in the league. We've been banking on that for the last 8 years and all he's shown is that potential.
