So far we have picks 1, 20, 38, 56, 74, 92, 110 with Yaz and Bell still to be traded and possibly even Casboult.

Yaz -> Tigers for Lennon & Pick 31
(Ben Lennon - Half Forward/Half Back 188cm/77kgs) - Was pick 12 in 2013 Draft
Bell & pick 56 -> Lions for Pick 21
Casboult -> Freo for Pick 22
Pick 20 -> GWS for Plowman, Sumner, Phillips & Pick 45
(Lachie Plowman - Key Defender 192cm/90lgs) - Was pick 3 in 2012 Draft
(Liam Sumner - Midfielder 177cm/75kgs) - Was pick 10 in 2011 Draft
(Andrew Phillips - Ruckman 202cm/98kgs) - Rookie daft

Leaving us with 1, 21, 22, 38, 45, 74, 92, 110 as well as Lennon, Plowman, Sumner, Phillips.
AFL DRAFT
#1 -> Jacob Weitering – Dandenong Stingrays (Key Defender 195cm/94kgs)
Then any sliders out of (in order of preference apart from SOSOS):
Sam Weideman – Eastern Ranges (Key Forward 197cm/93kgs)
Charlie Curnow – Geelong Falcons (Key Forward 192cm/92kgs)
Kieran Collins – Dandenong Stingrays (Key Defender 193cm/94kgs)
Harley Balic – Sandringham Dragons (Midfielder 186cm/80kgs)
Callum Ah Chee – South Fremantle (Half Forward 182ck/72kgs)
Ryan Burton – North Adelaide (Forward 192cm/93kgs)
Wayne Milera – Central Districts (Wingman 185cm/75kgs)
Daniel Rioli – North Ballarat Rebels (Half Forward/Half Back 180cm/66kgs)
Jack Silvagni – Oakleigh Chargers (Forward 191cm/81kgs)

ROOKIE:
Jake Bradley – (Forward 176cm/66kgs)

PSD:
James Aish - (Midfielder 184cm/75kgs)

That to me seems reasonably fair on the trade table (Casboult + Bell might be a little high), and we might pick up a gem or two that slides down to our 2nd round picks.
Everyone Happy?

What's everyone's thoughts on:
2016 1st rd pick (1-4) & Warnock -> GWS for Tomlinson, Pickett and 2016 1st rd (10-15)
(Adam Tomlinson - Key Forward 193cm/92kgs) - Was pick 9 in 2011 Draft
(Jarrod Pickett - Forward 178cm/76kgs) - Was pick 4 in 2014 Draft
Leaves us with two 2016 1st Rd picks around 10-15

Anyone have any idea about where Rioli might be taken as in what round he's most likely to go. I saw his combine results said it pushed him further up the order. Would love to get him into the club.

Whilst we're "earning" picks in the 1-4 range, we need to keep them and use them. These are future Carlton HoFers we're looking to pick up here. 200+ game players. Premiership players. We have opportunity to pick the best kid/s in the country, we HAVE to do that.

i'd be so happy with Weitering and Weideman and some how pick up the poor man Cripps in Oliver as well:D:D:D


Weitering has been hard to displace from this position all year. His start to the season against VFL opponents rocketed him to the top of the pool and he has remained there since, showing a cool head dealing with the tag as the likely No.1 draft pick. Across the year he continued to float across packs in defence, take big grabs and then set up the play with his damaging right-foot kicking. At last week's combine, Weitering ran a 15.1 beep test – which puts him in elite territory as a top-end tall prospect

It's been a long couple of years for Weideman, whose injuries have kept him from getting a consistent run at things. Last year he battled an ankle problem that interrupted his start to this year and it resurfaced before the mid-year carnival, forcing him out for the rest of the season. He couldn't test at the combine, but did do a running session one night, which drew the attention of recruiters at Etihad Stadium. Weideman is perhaps the most imposing of the key forwards available. He is big and strong, takes marks, crashes packs and kicks at goal with an uncomplicated style.

Weitering, Oliver, and Clarke please CFC.

Weitering - best in the draft, enough said.
Oliver - powerful, agile, quick bursts out of contests, clean kick
Clarke - gut-runner, damaging on the outside, runs all day.

Perfect combo especially if we snare one more tall in one of the McKay brothers, Collins, or Weideman.

Here's my order of preference in this draft with the omission of father son picks and academy selections. I'm not exactly a draft expert and I'm not claiming to be. I think talented KPs should go first, followed by hard working mids with a defensive side who get plenty of the ball.

1. Jacob Weitering- KP
2. Joshua Schache- KP
3. Ryan Burton- Forward
4. Sam Weideman- KP
5. Rhys Mathieson- Mid
6. Aaron Francis- HB
7. Clayton Oliver- Mid
8. Ryan Clarke- Mid
9. Darcy Parish- Mid
10. Kieran Collins- KP
11. Jade Gresham- Mid
12. Charlie Curnow- KP
13. Luke Partington- Mid
14. Wayne Milera- Mid
15. Riley Bonner- HB
16. Harley Balic- HB/Mid
17. Darcy Tucker- HB
18. Harry McKay- KP
19. Michael Hibberd- HB
20. Callum Ah Chee- HF

Just out of interest here's the draft order with picks eliminated that will likely need to be used on academy picks:

1. Carlton
2. Brisbane Lions
3. Gold Coast
4. Essendon
5. St Kilda
6. Melbourne
7. Collingwood
8. Adelaide
9. Port Adelaide
10. Western Bulldogs
11. Richmond
12. Adelaide
13. Hawthorn
14. Gold Coast
15. Hawthorn
16. Gold Coast
17. Carlton
18. Fremantle
19. Essendon
20. St Kilda

Presuming GWS do not on-trade 7 or 8 for second rounders, I suspect pick 7 will be consumed for points also. If not, that means more picks out of the way for our first and second round haul.

Top 30 picks are still very valuable in this draft, so we shouldn't scoff at pick 26 for Bell.

Not the consensus but there are always some that come through even in the worst of drafts..

2011 being on of the worst: #30 Yeo, #33 Hill, #37 Newnes, #58 Neale.........................what a stinker of a draft this one was.
We got laughed at with #22 Bootsma but #5 Buntine, 10 Sumner, #18 McKenzie, #19 Kavanagh, #20 Crozier...have hardly fared all too much better.

I am making a small mock draft and i wouldn't mind if you could list your top 5 priorities of what you want in the draft if thats ok? Preferably just list a player role/position but if you have an ideal player in mind, you could let me know too. Thank you
