    Rumour Draft Rumours 2025

    My understanding the current rumour is it’s for both. I’d throw in a F2 (and late 2025 picks if it helps Carlton with points). But that’s just me. It’s a discussion of whether you need to pay a premium to move up or are you paying a premium to get into a stronger, less compromised 2026 draft...

    Rumour Draft Rumours 2025

    I don’t know about that. No one wants into this draft as 2026 picks are seen as better. So you’re not going to get a better 2026 picks than current 2025 picks. So Crows 16 + F1 might be the best offer if there are no other teams interested. I think the real concern should be if Carlton need...

    Bloody hell. Barger could hit that ball 1,000 more times and not get that ‘stuck’ ball. No idea how Barger got out on second when had no reason to move. Springer would have had a chance for a walk off home run which would have gone down in folklore (of course no guarantees). Really feels the...

    Thats a good point. If they don’t get a 2026 pick now they will really struggle to get them next year without trading players. No one will want to trade a 2026 for a 2027/2028 due to TAS. It’s probably now or never.

    We could have taken Dodson last year instead right? I think that was where we needed to be more ruthless and either pass on Welsh or take him as a rookie. We drafted him. He deserves 2 years now. Didn’t show a lot but also had injuries. He’s on notice now so this preseason he works his ass...

    How does the AFL know that when they've never tried. I don't think that's what the data actually says. I can't show you a standalone prime time Showdown number because its never happened, but looking at channel 7's ratings, the Friday night Crows/Lions (696k) received more viewers than...

    Showdown should be prime time because they’re generally close games with memorable moments, regardless of ladder positions. Why people would prefer to watch Essendon/Carlton lose by 10 goals every Friday I’ll never understand.

    We finish top 5, most likely 2nd or 3rd. We went 18-5 and I see us getting better next year with improvement from a lot of the younger guys.

    Why does the AFL refuse to schedule a prime time Showdown. Worried only SA people will tune in? After the amount of Essendon and Carlton trash we’ve had to endure on Friday nights surely it wouldn’t draw any less. Thursday night seems like the obvious stand alone which is better TV time slot...

    I thought the trade would be 16 & F1 for 9 & F2 but Carlton don’t have a second next year. Let’s do 16 & F1 & F2 for for 9 & 11. Draft Sharp and Schubert solving both our midfield and ruck in one go. How easy is list management? (Yes I know Carlton would never go for it, and we can’t trade...

    Ohtani just needs more help from his teammates. Fine to walk him when there’s no one on base. Someone on first and you’re now pushing someone to second and scoring position. Bases loaded, are you going to walk the guy and give up a run (and still have bases loaded?). This isn’t a baseball rule...

    Can’t blame this on the hitters, it was all on John Schneider for over managing that game. Springer out, then proceeds to take out Bichette, Barger and Kirk. Add in Vlad going cold. It could have gone another 20 innings, we weren’t getting another run with all hitters sitting on the bench...

    God wild game. Bichette getting out after a terrible strike call and just walking off the base, pitching to Ohtani four times, getting tagged in extra innings with Vlad to come, so many players stranded. Springer, Bichette and Berger all out of the game. Jays have had plenty of times to blow...

    Why doesn't the AFL just finally blow the NRL away?!

    The obsession between the two codes is embarrassing. A Toronto team are in the World Series for baseball right now, and as a result both NBA and NHL are changing the start times of the Toronto games so it doesn’t clash with the baseball finals. Why can’t we all get along?

    Don’t expect in favours from the AFL given how we made them look dragging out the Rankine stuff. 2 x WA trips 1x TAS trip 1x Skilled All but guaranteed. At least one of Darwin, Ballarat, Cairns or wherever they’re playing now, probably. We’ll get Collingwood twice. No matter the rest of our...

    New President was it that basically came in day 1 saying no way they trade Merrett. Wanted to make a stand but in the end needed to be smarter.

    It sucks we didn’t get a midfielder this off season but Hollands is not the answer. He got thrown out of Gold Coast and couldn’t even see out his 2 year contract at Carlton before the club would rather pay him out to make him go away. Upside or not. His AFL career is done.

    The city. No, the country, is going off right now. Dodgers have the stars but Blue Jays have belief. Looked like they didn’t turn up before a 9 run innings without major work from their main guys. I’m not getting ahead of myself, but this feels eerily similar to the Raptors run in 2019. Were...

    I’m all for loading up for this draft. If we can trade 16 + F1 for Hawks 10 + 22 or Carlton’s 9 + 2nd do it if the right player is there. With any luck our F1 will be in the 15-20 range next year. This year proved those picks are close to worthless for top talent anyway (Merrett, Marshall, our...

    City of Toronto is electric after that game! The last time there was this much excitement and buy in from the city was when the Raptors won. Hoping the Blue Jays can keep it going.
