G'day Knightmare Having a really good conversation re. the mid-season draft and the fallout of the COVID season for underage players in 2020 on the Carlton board. Wondering if you could hazard a guess as an avid draft watcher and expert, as to how many players (perhaps on average) come into...

Who gives a s**t? If they can't get it done within the 5 min window, you either match or let him go surely? What's the point in the time limit otherwise?

I'm no wrap for Essendon as a club, surely they have every right to be absolutely filthy with this 'on the run' rule breaking around the trading of picks. Why are Brisbane given any lee-way whatsoever in this regard? It's 5 mins to pick or trade, if you are not prepared then bad luck. Match...

Whilst Robertson is renowned for great leadership and inside ball winning ability, his kicking lets him down a fair bit which is hard to swallow in AFL footy let alone using an early pick on someone with that limitation who also lacks 'hurt factor'. Carlton do not really need his type (at all)...

0% chance. If we had him in mind and him only, we would have simply waited until after Geelong picked. The very last thing Carlton needs is a KPD.

Seems likely Richmond were looking at Philp as they reached for Dow, who is a midfielder with great leg speed...

Carlton would have waited until after Geelong picked if that was the case... We also absolutely do not need a KPD in any way shape or form. More likely caught wind that Philp was being considered before #22.

If Kemp gets through to our #17 from GC, I will consider whoever we take at #22 a free player. Whilst I rated Flanders high, think Kemp has great scope and a higher ceiling than most. Wouldn't have hated him at #9. Crossing fingers, toes and testes.

That's actually even more diabolical. The only professional sporting organisation in the world that behaves this way. Never needed an independent, overseeing commission more than the past few years. Stumbling, bumbling 'toe the company line at all costs, never admit errors' McLachlan needs...

I was not against them getting a top end this year, nor would I have been about giving them some mature age priority access/extended rookie list etc. but this feels like massive overkill. Why guarantee them the next few years? What if they play finals in 2021? What's the need to do this? I...

Dodoro was protecting his own interests plain and simple, maybe having a cheeky jab at the old enemy along the way was the cherry on top. Essendon still made two selections after Silvagni and in nominating him 1) Made Carlton select him there and then rather than as a rookie when they were...

I know you've mentioned it in one of your articles (always appreciate your work on here and ESPN mate) that Luko shouldn't be overlooked by the Blues @ 1, given they hold onto it. Do you have a read on which way they will go? Still stand by the fact they should draft Lukosius if they have 1?

Was giving it some thought this morning, can you envisage a scenario where Lukosius is still on the board at 4, becoming a bit of a Lance Franklin situation? If Carlton hold Pick 1 and take Walsh (likely in my mind) is there some grounds to believe that GC might want to take the King twins at...

Great work as always Knightmare, your efforts and insights are always appreciated. Posted on the Carlton board, from what I can piece together I would love to see LDU get to Carlton at 3 and think SoS and Bolton would love a Coffield type at 10 (reckon it's looking 50-50 he gets there). If...

Great work on putting this together Snoop Dog Just reads as a really strong draft doesn't it? Think you're going to have a lot of happy clubs and supporters when it's all over given the depth. So stoked Carlton hung onto their picks, 5 particularly which looks like it could be every bit as...

I wouldn't be adverse to Carlton having a look at him and drafting him given they are happy with his interview. Provides a different calibre of player we need. Tall, rangy athletic player capable of playing Tallish Forward/Mid as he has been in Tassie... Maybe replace Karnezis? Fair to say...
