Keep next years first
There’s the Hopper trade that may or may not eventuate
Or go to the draft with another top 20 pick, there seems to be always a slider that represents good value
Its in our best interests to trade it out, trade Hopper for the 2020 first pick, so we don't have to pay top dollar for MR jnr.
 
If we can't get other trades done for Valente I would even throw 37 to GWS for their pick 25 is it before matchings and maybe give up our future 2019 third or so to help them out as they fear coughing up more like the Swans and we get a higher pick in a better draft.

If clubs do not do this they are only losing out to those that do in the swings and roundabouts
 
Hoping we grab Bytel next. Might be a longshot given we've taken a project in RCD but I still have hope. Our medicos voodoo magic would have him lining up round 1.

Our medics can't look at him can they? Depending on other options I follow the drift and worth taking a punt at some point.

If we got GWS pick and used it on Bytel that would be less of a punt than CFC on Stocker IMO

Possibly
But there’s a few unknowns in that scenario
a. Will Hopper ask for a trade and if so to us or will another club █████ us with a better offer
b. Will MR jnr. Require a first round pick to get him over the line. He may not end up being rated that highly.
I just reckon trying to predict what’s going to happen next year and the year after (and trading away picks) is risky.

The fact he won't play next year may drop him further down the order, he could be well beyond 40. I'd like to think we have a ready-made mid in our sights for our second pick, that or being creative to shift up the order to snare someone we really want (Valente, Stack).

Stack is not a player we need in terms of roles though is he. At least Bytel can fill a role in the team even from year 2. Valente surely will not get past Adelaide and even if he does we can trade a future 2019 first if that happens like CFC
 
If Carlton did the trade to get Stocker before we could of I think thats a stupid risk.
I dont think we would of taken Stoker if RCD was still on the board as he was.
RCD fills a need more than Stocker.


I dont mind CFC's play but I think they have overrated Stocker. If they got RCD fine but I think for Stocker not worth it.

still I think CFC should get a lot higher in 2019 with Docherty back and Walsh and co in and they will not be chasing the spoon in 2019. They want to show hope as well with Crips and McGovern in. I think CFC has been under achieving in recent years and if the talent they have improves performance and results they could really make a move

If CFC ends up similar to Adelaide in 2019 on the ladder they got Stocker for nothing effectively

But if CFC was going to do this why they did not get the SA forward when they could have is beyond me!! Its a bit like passing up on Nick Riewoldt when the club managed to hold onto Kernahan and Bradley over the years let alone Gibbs

Luckily we didnt take Curtis Taylor. Imagine if the kid read this thread. Holy shit :eek:
If we took him at 37 meh it was the first rounder I was most worried about

Carlton probably rating this years draft a lot higher than nexts and rating Stocker very highly.
Also Crows are nothing special Blooz could improve and Crows slide.
We should be doing the same. Load up.

Next years draft has top ended talent but relatively shallow from early reports. I think Twomey even made this comment last night.

Its a ballsy move by Carlton, but I think its a good one. Given that, they crash and finish last its a potential disaster.

Adelaide will push for top 4. Bookmark it.

They had 1 bad year after making consecutive finals (and a GF) - now they have a bottom 6 draw.... Sound familiar?
