Im looking forward to 4-5 years time for a comparison as we look back at the best and worst years of drafting it says a lot about that particular age groups development. After following a bit of Junior football, next year looks like the bumper crop in SA and its drops off the year after. This year looked fairly thin in SA with only a genuine 4 maybe 5 players, the rest will struggle.

Bit biased. I have been making notes of Blues list changes over last 2 years and comparing to StK and Melbourne
How do you rate these 2 lists, both look similar

Jacob Weitering versus Hugh Goddard
Charlie Curnow versus Jade Gresham
Harry McKay versus Paddy McCartin
David Cuningham versus Brandon White
Blaine Boakhorst versus Daniel McKenzie
Clem Smith versus Jack Lonie
Dillon Viojo-Rainbow v Bailey Rice
Jack Silvagni versus Tim Membrey

Rookie Draft
Glass-McKasker vs Jack Sinclair

Few similar trades
Kristian Jaksch versus Jake Carlisle
Lachie Plowman versus Nathan Freeman

I think
Weitering > Goddard
Curnow > Gresham
Harry McKay < McCartin
Cuningham > White
Boekhorst < McKenzie
Smith < Lonie
DVR < Rice
Silvagni > Membrey

Glass-McKasker < Sinclair
Jaksch < Carlisle
Plowman > Freeman

i think the thing your missing more than what you listed try Bruce (no.1 forward), Longer (No.1 Ruck), Carsile (no.1 Defender) Hickey (no.2 ruck), membery (3rd tall), Savage (no1 rebounder), Freeman (top10 pick) Roberton (future best utility defender), Weller (Mid with leadership aspirations)

this is missed when comparing the kids brought in because we have traded out a bunch of picks to get these players, if we hit the draft with every pick then we would smash your list in the last 3 years draft.

also their is legit no way silvagni is better than membrey, thats a terrible joke

Membrey has only played 13 games in 3 seasons and kicked 9 goals. I think Jack in 3 years will play more games and have more goals but time will tell. Perhaps next year will see Tim play more games

He spent most of that time in Sydney, hardly an indictment that he didn't play many games.

Of course Silvagni will play more games than Membrey did in his first 3 years because Carlton is s**t and unless Silvagni is extremely s**t then he should play more than 13 games.

Zing.

Weitering already Carlton's best player.

Watched one of Vic Metro's games the other day (not the one where he kicked 6 goals) and I reckon SOSOS is very talented, just super-raw. Looked about 14yo and has apparently been held back a lot, by SOS initially, and then by Jack himself in more recent times, so it's incredibly hard to say how much improvement is still in him. I suspect it's a lot.

It's also hard to say how much improvement is in Membrey, as he played a couple of very good games this year for us and also put in some dominant performances at VFL level. I suspect as his tank improves he will start to have more and more impact. It's probably easy to forget that in his two seasons at TAC Cup level he kicked more goals than any of Boyd, Patton, McCartin or Daniher, in their respective two years there. He's had to build up a tank and play a different role at AFL level though, so it will be interesting to see if he manages to pull it off.

Jack Silvagni I don't think is even 18 yet. One of the youngest in his draft class. 2016 season I would prefer him play in the VFL because I know his not ready yet and he does have to build up a tank and has to spend a lot of time in the gym building up muscle but that's what's expected in rookies in their first year

What point is there in chucking the kid in the deep end and kill off his confidence? That's the tactic Demons employed with their first rounders from 2008-2013 allowing the poor kids to get smashed repeatively and not have a proper development.

Tim Membrey I think is a good pickup for StK considering they paid nothing to get him and was getting limited opportunities at Swans. Jack Silvagni has plenty upside and do have confidence can become a good player in time. If he plays 4 games next year then will be happy and if doesn't play any games I won't be dissapointed as from watching some of his games on Foxtel I know we got a good father/son at the club and has good Carlton bloodline
