    Analysis 2025 Draft watch

    I wrote this post last week in the academy / next gen thread, it may be what you're looking for? The exercise didn't cover a bid on Ison but there is discussion later in the thread about it.

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    Agreed, Ison wasn't a part of my original exercise but given the scenario we keep all our current assets unless he makes it into the mid 30s it's likely that we will probably need both of those picks you listed to match a bid even after they come in via other clubs matching their bids. This is...

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    In most draft rankings I've seen Uwland, Patterson and Annable are ahead of Dean, the rest of the columns are there as data that I thought was interesting. I have accounted for our picks being pushed back in the table, if Dean was bid on at pick 6 and there was theoretically only one academy bid...

    Official Club Stuff Carlton Academy - Next Gen & Father/Son/Daughter Discussion II

    I apologise if something similar has been posted already and I've missed it but I was bored so have made a table with data on what a bid on Dean at each pick would cost us (if my math is right) in the theoretical case we didn't trade and kept our current picks 9, 11 and 43 through the draft...

    Rumour Bluemour Discussion XL - ‘Silly Season’ in full swing 😱

    Brisbane are huge winners out of this as well, they're effectively getting an end of first round compensation pick for losing a free agent even though they're bringing in two who are potentially going to trigger first round compensation for the clubs they're leaving.

    Lord was concussed by a bump from Ollie Wines on the weekend, won't play.

    Trades 2025 Round 16 Trades

    You've already got 8 keeper forwards and 7 keeper mids, weigh up a sideways trade to JHF or Darcy vs potential donuts due to too many season ending injuries at the end of the year. Hustwaite to a 99k forward would allow you to get Trac into flex and should get you enough cash to do FOS to Mills...

    Senior 29. George Hewett

    I reckon this bloke deserves some recognition this year, has had an absolutely fantastic start to the season. I was wondering if he was going to get pushed out of the side by the emerging talent coming through but should probably be leading our B&F...

    I'm interested. Haven't played in a BF league for a few years but generally finish in the top 2-5k.

    Resource 2025 Player Buddy Draft

    I'll take George Hewett. One of my favourites and should be an interesting year for him given the new talent pushing for midfield spots.

    Competitions Make Your Own Team - Carlton Board AFL Player Draft Game

    I only have six genuine defenders so my final pick is going to be Brisbane Lions premiership player Noah Answerth. Very reliable and versatile player, can lock down or provide a bit of run if needed. Will post my final team in a sec, slider95 up next.

    Competitions Make Your Own Team - Carlton Board AFL Player Draft Game

    I feel like I need a little more height in my forward line given the relative lack of it in my keys, so I'm going with Jack Williams. Never thought I'd be taking two West Coast players but here we are, went at nearly a goal a game in 2024 and is pretty handy in the ruck for a natural forward...

    Competitions Make Your Own Team - Carlton Board AFL Player Draft Game

    I think once we're past round 14-15 we are talking fringe players at all clubs, a bunch of them aren't going to play 15+ games. The way I've been picking is "if I was picking a best 23 from what's available, what would give me the best chance at winning a premiership" rather than who is locked...
