I must admit, Judd did cross my mind when watching the highlights of Simpson. Something about his running and kicking styles.

Will be surprised if he can play wing or half forward. Looks to lack agility and speed when lve watched highlights.

Is anyone else thinking that Geelong are willing to trade pick 8 because they are not interested in using it on a key defender eg.OSullivan.
Geelong has the last pick in the top tier of players. I think if OSullivan is the last player to be taken in that top tier geelong will trade on draft...
Just by watching a few video clips, hardly diffinitive, schoemakers speed/agility does look ordinary.
Makes me think of Matthew Watson who had a raking left boot that looked brilliant at u18 level but ultimately lacked the athleticism to be a defender. Fools gold.

Or, he just wasn’t good enough.
Watched sps in his under age year in u18’s. He was dynamic. The run and carry was terrific, l thought he was going to be the number 1 pick the following year.
Then in his final year in u18’s he looked a completely different player. Not much run, just a nice...
A later option in draft to Ollie Murphy might be will Dawson.
200cm key defender. Might go in 3rd round. Just watched his highlights, seems big and athletic. Looks strong in the contest.
Interested to know if anyone has seen a bit of him.
It’s just a very simple list of draftees showing who’s still playing and who’s gone, nothing more nothing less.
From my point of view, when l look over it, thinking about the draft picks that were available, It clearly shows that from a pure drafting perspective that, outside 2015, our club did...
James Leak looks really good from the few highlights lve seen. He’s 188cm and Looks to have really good athleticism with speed and a good leap. I think he could be more than a half back. Could possibly be a good half forward/midfielder, maybe in the jack Martin mould.
Wouldn’t be surprised if...
I think the chances of Carlton getting a top 10 pick are slim to none.
We will be doing well just to get one more pick inside 35.

The only position l can imagine Dary Wilson playing at afl level is wing. He needs lots of space to run. I just can’t help but think he will struggle with contested footy at afl level. I couldn’t use a first round pick on him.
Talking of Wilson’s , has anyone watched Billy Wilson’s highlights...
I really like point 4. It’s been a gripe of mine the assumptions about where father sons will go in a draft a year out.
If the camporeale sons have average years next year they could both not make the top 30. Would not take much for this to happen.

Yes you’re right, last year seemed so easy in picking Hollands. It was like we put in an order for what we needed and it was delivered to us nicely wrapped.

I do have doubts about Wilson playing anywhere but wing and l also don’t think Carlton wants another half back, even if it is just for the first couple of years.
Outside the top 10 l think it’s pretty even and all the players have weaknesses that make you think twice. Wilson’s contested game...
That’s interesting. So l’m guessing, compared to Ollie, it’s not nessarily the overall distance he covers but more that he can maintain a high speed twice as often. Impressive.
Does Carlton need another winger? Not sure we do at the moment.

Yes lve got question marks over Wilson’s contested game. It’s been mentioned in a number of places that’s it’s the area he’s had to improve. He does have some really good qualities though.
It worries me he will be a bit of a flakey footballer at afl level who struggles to win his own ball and...
Yes it seems unlikely O’Sullivan will be an option for us. If you would like a key defender Ollie Murphy might be more realistic.
Will be interested to see how Murphy finishes the year. Hope he continues to improve. The first highlights l saw of him seemed more like lowlights. He has had good...
From what l can tell drafting has improved over the years and continues to improve in terms identifying afl quality players. If you are going back too far to old drafts you get much worse statistical results. I wouldn’t go back any further than last 10 years.
It is interesting how clubs value...
I think if you’re looking for an elite runner that’s not duursma. Bit more of a power/impact player.
I was particularly interested in Wilson because of his running capacity. Thought he might be the type we are after. The question mark now with him is his contested footy. Ollie hollands was a...
Duursma was very good in the first game playing midfield. I think one of the better players with his stoppage work in the first half a standout. He’s had two good excellent games and two ordinary. It was mentioned he was playing a little injured in previous game.
In the first game he was...
Darcy Wilson has been very disappointing. I was keen on him and was expecting more in the champs. His involvement and intent/aggression hasn’t been what l expected. He looks too much of an outside player. Needs to get his hands dirty. his disposal has been ordinary at times too. Maybe he just...
We really do need backup for Martin and Cunningham. A quality young player who can play half forward/midfield and is an excellent 2 way runner. Who is flexible enough to play in team even if Martin and Cuningham fit.
I think the half forwards in this draft who will go first round are duursma...
Robby hasn’t been quite right since he came back. Seems a little breathless at times when talking. Don’t think he’s 100%.

At pick 5 you have a real variety of types listed.
It really depends if we see a particular type as a priority.
They always say that with an early pick you just take the best player. Problem is it can be hard to see who is clearly the best.
The player that stands out to me is mckercher. He...
If walters was a better kick for goal would definitely take ahead of Harley. Walters is far more dynamic and powerful than Cadman in last years draft.

The difference between durrsma and demattia as inside midfielders in the last game was stark. Demattia wasn’t that clean and his disposal was very ineffective.

Last years top 10 does look stronger.
I do think though that it isn’t just Reid and Watson that could make last years top 10.
Duursma
Mckercher
Caddy
I want to see how these 3 perform for remainder of year. They have the potential to be the equal of some of last years top 10.
