Jeez Sullivan Robey looks like a gun.

I'll be shattered if we pass on him to split the pick.
Interesting fact Dylan Alexander said yesterday is that he was 175cm at the start of the year hence why he place like a small forward.
Cripps had a growth spurt like that at 17 as well.
 
Actually maybe Adelaide could be a suitor, they need instant midfield help and there’s some chance local boy Sharp could be available at 4. Would be appealing to pair him up with Draper going forward
Where do you think they finish next year?

I think we'd be banking on a team that likely misses finals that made it this year. Collingwood probably most vulnerable but don't have a pick.

Calcium Man - wash your mouth out with soap! Grouping Brayden Maynard (Collingwood hack) with Nick Vlaustin (Richmond champion) is a sin.

True. My apologise.

I was more referring to Maynard’s aggression. Do something to Xav and he’ll use his next chance to run through you or put some extra mayo on tackle. But he probably plays more like Vlas with his intercepting.

His kicking is sus though and it’s a lot of short safe chips.

A future first might be moreso to give us trade bait for a player, the message is next year we look at mature talent.

So you’re saying we’re getting Butters?

Likely pretty high but I guess that’s the risk we’d be taking. End of the day it’d be another 1st rounder in the bank 🤷‍♂️
 
Just worry about mids, outside players are easy to grab in future years or trade/FA. We need mids because we’ve got Prestia on one leg, Taranto and Hopper carrying us. We’ll need all 3 to provide support but we need to start rotating and getting the kids ready for it.

Walking in next year with a young midfield group of (hopefully) Sharp, Robey, Smillie, Hotton, Lalor, McCauliffe should set us up for years to come when we won’t have low draft picks where we can take best mids in the draft.

And please flipping stay away from Duursma and CDT.

Probably better off just keeping the pick.
 
Win/win either way but very open to splitting the pick for another a pick in the teens and a F1. Could be our best path to secure Tanner next year. Assuming we pick 1-4 again, we still come out of both drafts with 2 top end talents each year.

Sydney could be a pick swap candidate they can end up with pick 4 to package up and trade for Curnow, which should interest carlton as it will come in before a harry dean bid. We end up with pick 3 pick 11 and 2xF1.

Assuming you mean F1 from Carlton, the only issue will be what the specific changes to F/S and Academy matching are for next year.

Cal Twomey suggested that to match a bid at pick 1 for the 2026, you might need something like pick 2 and 12 (doubt it'll be this extreme, but sounds like you'll need first round picks to match first round bids), which means Carlton can't afford to trade out their F1 this early in preparation to match a bid for Walker.
 
Won't happen
Should get at least 1 you'd think, but I've got the popcorn maker ready to go should it happen.

How would people feel if we drafted Sullivan Robey and Oliver Greeves?

Our midfield in a few years would be...

Smillie (196)
Robey (191)
Greeves (191)
Lalor (187)
Hotton (183)

That would be amazing given each of them can also be damaging up forward.
Wouldnt be upset, can obviously play forward and impact also.

I’ll only melt if we overlook Robey and/or waste a top 4 pick on Lindsay.

Anything else is tolerable, even cdt (as long as we get Robey).

Think we can do better with a better runner but Robey at least plays like a small ground level midfielder.
