Game Day 2018 DRAFT - Christmas is early this year

[Rotayjay]

Wish we had better picks in hand prior to tonight.

 

[GROTTO]

Carlton posters melting at losing Pick 1.

 

[King Elvis]

I dont agree. Look at their list. They will be the climber next year. I think we may finish around the same next year as this, and they will climb 4 or so spots up the table. I think GC, Freo, St Kilda will all finish below Carlton.

Nah, we’ll get back in the 8, they’ll be 14-16, if they’re lucky.

 

[GROTTO]

Carlton's 1st means we get Luko or Rankine next year. Its a no brainer.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Crows got done in this trade. Two picks on a gamble for a top 5. What if Carlton have this Collingwood type year. jesus this is stuffed. I am not happy at all and I think the club just showed utter disrespect to an opposition club. We should have demanded carltons 2nd rounder at least in return. This is a horrible trade and one that could just absolutely bite us in the arse.

If someone had said this year we could trade 13 and 19 to gcs for pick 3 would you have done it? Everyone would. Because that's approximately what we just did. Yeah it's a risk coz it's the future but surely we won't have a year as bad as 2018 where we still only just missed finals and surely Carlton won't shoot up the ladder from 2 wins. They were disgraceful this year

 

[Anzacpaul]

Blues board are stoked with the trade..... After so many years of being shit, you'd think they'd have a few reservations.....

 

[Gets!]

next years draft is rubbish. a top 3 pick next year is 10th this year. There is no chance Rankine or Luko are coming back after one year. We just jumped at a trade we over thought and we drafted players we may not have drafted if we pre traded this pick before the draft. This is not Ogilvy's finest hour. In fact I don't think this trade will sit comfortably at all tonight with the AFC.

Ogilvies finest hour? Reid works the trade deals. Get a clue and calm down.

 

[Samcro24]

No one has the knowledge of what they will be in 10 years. You draft on what they have shown as Jrs. They both play the same position, not too hard to compare them in the first year.
You up for the bet, or welching?

No because it’s ridiculous to base a pick on what they do in their first year. Why don’t we just make it on who plays a game first? First one to get a kick?

Judge Doedee on his first two years and he’s a bust. Who does that?

Oh yeah... you did.

 

[GrommoT]

Oh dear! Did .. not .. see .. that .. coming!

Is this another Doedee moment?

Oh well, I see the Death Ride Carlton threads are up and going again.

Well, maybe we're going after a player like Cam Taheny next year and will probably need a low numbered pick to do it.


As an aside, was at the Alma watching the draft and the Lochowiak clan was in attendance.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Shit, after all the insight you've had over the course of the year on the draft (none), I definitely think you're in a position to bash Ogilvie. 100% factual, assured opinion coming from a professional draft watcher this is.

better than your bs assessment above.

 

[hey shorty]

Didn’t Port do it?

By giving out 2 of their best 5 players they did yes.

They're just about done in the draft, we have a great pick with some super players left and we are going to get a pick inside top 5 next season.

It's a decent win by us and I'm shocked weve been able to do it.

 

[Cleric]

You think adding two draftees, a guy who's played zero games and McGovern will make Carlton a mid table team?

Lol

You think thats all that makes a team?
Dont see how another year into their next crop of guns like Crips, Weitering, SPS, Dow, McKay and then adding in Gov and and an AA in Docherty and a better run at injuries isnt going to give them a boost?
For real?

Have you really taken the time to look at next years draft? Doesn't sound like you have. Go and take a cold shower and have a lay down.. you're melting.

 

[ABAB]

So which players are we now following next season for our pick at in the top 5 for next year?

Rankine might choose to be traded so we needed a pick before Port Power, who will likely finish 16-14.

 

[Murray2503]

Well the trade and draft period summed up why we need changes at afc. ****ing bewildered by our decision making. Why didn't we trade into the top 5 picks during the trade period? I hope we do well next year but until Burton and co are exited from the club nothing will change.

 

[Runnin Blue]

Blues board are stoked with the trade

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

Because he’s a ******* gun who could play in the AFL side from round 1?

Let's see how good he is when he lines up for GC with the best defenders in the AFL as a key forward.

Don’t they have to stay 2 years?

Murray, please never change.

 

[Cleric]

Freo got Hogan and Lobb. i dont think they going to go worse

And lost their best player over the last three years. Going places they aint.

 

[Golumless]

Wow so
Pick 19 + Our 2019 1st for Carlton's 2019 1st

Let's say we finish 6th

In draft points value terms that is:

948+1,212 = 2,160

Pick 1 = 3,000
Pick 2 = 2,517
Pick 3 = 2,234
Pick 4 = 2,034

So it really is a gamble that we finish top 6 and they finish bottom 3.

points are irrelevant. What we've done is given up two mediocre firsts for potentially one of the best picks in the game.

If Carlton are bottom 3, this could outdo the McLeod -> Groom trade.

They'll get better sure, but it's a very very long way back. Youd back everyone bar St Kilda and GC to improve so it's hard to see Carlton finishing above 15th.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Carlton are no where near getting out of the botton 2

Their best 10 players probably have them mid table the next 10 are the second or 3rd worst in the league

 

[phill5158]

Jeez they weren't kidding when they said this draft is a deep one.

Names yet to be taken

Bailey Williams (Fingers crossed we get him)
Jez McLennan
Ian Hill
Curtis Taylor
Tom Sparrow
Luke Valente

Personally, I am hoping to god that we pick Williams, just by watching footage of him you kind of get the feeling he could be a big steal. Probs too short to be a no. 1 ruckman but could very well be a good forward. I have a feeling Ogilvie may look at Kieran Briggs though.

 

[hey shorty]

And lost their best player over the last three years. Going places they aint.

They'll be better than Carlton still.
