Go on, would love to hear this

Adelaide are shooting for 9, Pies would be stupid to. Who else?
North looking to trade in as long as there's players still available on the clock on draft day. But they'd want 22 along with 10 as well.
 
For all the talk about clubs not rating this year's draft, if there's a player they like available, there'll be clubs that go for the immediate sugar hit.

We've got a slight advantage with 9, if we want to trade out, as its probably the first pick thats really gettable.

No chance is 9+11 for Adelaide 16 + F1 the deal. Not only is it way unders for the Blues, but leaves us unlikely to be able to match an ison bid and needing to go into deficit for Dean.

Having 18, 37, 40, 45, 46 at the time of Dean bid wouldnt put you into deficit for him

Because i suspect this trade only occurs if its upto pick 6 or 7 live and Dean still hasnt been called
 
Something everyone is ignoring is Eagles want to trade back into the 2026 draft if we split pick 2.... so i suspect we find a way to do that overall.

Id be surprised if we still have pick 2 come the time to pick. Not really certain its Essendon it ends up with as I imagine Demons and Carlton have interest too

Doubt we use our F1 for that, we already have more picks than list spots this year. If we trade up it would be using our second rounders to a team needing points.

2 and 13 for 8, 37, and GC's F1?

Melb get Robey and a later 1st for Pickett

WC get to trade back into the 2026 draft, can pick Farrow at 8 after his increased interest in recent times (mostly GWS), and get an extra pick for matching NGA bids.

I think we will want to keep 13 still.

Pick 2 for 8 and GC F1st

Pick 1 for Duursma, 8 for Sharp/Grij/Greeves/and 13 for one of Farrow/Lindsay/Dovaston/Phillipou

Experienced draft watchers on the Eagles site rate Cumming highly and would be happy using 2 on him.

Ex u18 coaches from Melbourne and they watch alot of u18 games.
I'm hoping he gets to the Giants, which seems unlikely, but I ve seen a couple mocks with that happening which is giving me hope.

I think that’s one of those situations where there’d be some hefty trade-up offers to those teams ahead of / to the giants. Sharp, CDT, Cumming, Taylor etc all falling out of their range would elicit some crazy offers imo

What an awful trade, eagles are throwing in 2 for pick 8 for free apparently.

Very hard to see Carlton getting pick 2 and having enough points this year and then also picks for C.Walker next year. Probably rules them out

Demons 8 and F1 (Suns) does make a bit of sense

Do eagles want to go that far back? Its probably Grlj or Farrow at that pick

Carlton currently have 2 first round picks in the 2027 draft, that will give them 1211 points to use as a deficit on matching Cody Walker. They can do what ever they want this year and next year, as long as they hold on to those two picks ad walk in to the 2026 draft with 1489 points.

Where are you getting 1211 and 1489 from?

The issue is Carltons entire points could be wiped on Dean then no points for Ison

Future picks are valued at the last pick of each round. If a club has multiple picks in a round, such as the first round, picks are valued at pick 18, then 17 and so forth.

However the 2027 draft has all the Tassie picks in it, so the last pick of the first round in 2027 is pick 25. So pick 25 + pick 24 is 1211 points.

If Walker is bid on at pick 1 in 2026, Carlton are on the hook for 2700 points.

2700 - 1211 as Carlton’s deficit “bank” = 1489.


Man you have to get your head around teams potential deficit banks.

Carlton have 1715 points banked in the 2026 draft to help pay for any bids this year.

Carlton’s true 2026 bank will be far greater when we roll in to the trade period next year, as it’s unlikely Carlton & Sydney are playing in next year’s grand final.
