(somewhat despondent) update:
So, I've been waiting for the club to call me (as they promised). Nothing happened and today I bit the bullet and called them (again)*.
Surprise, surprise, there are not many players left. And not to denigrate anyone, but it's not the high-profile ones left either:
GOLD ($2,750): Kerr, Glass-McCasker, LeBois, A Silvagni, Lang, Mullett, De Koning, Schumacher, O'Shea, Shaw
SILVER ($1,650): Lobbe, Mullett, De Koning, Schumacher, O'Shea, Shaw
AFLW ($1,650): Shae Audley, Lauren Brazzale, Alison Downie, Kate Gillespie-Jones, Sarah Last, Katie Loynes, Tilly Lucas-Rodd, Breann Moody, Natalie Plane, Gabriella Pound, Kate Shierlaw, Kerryn Harrington, Reni Hicks, Tiahna Cochrane, Georgia Gee, Bridie Kennedy, Sophie Li, Katie Grieves, Courtney Webb
Gold might be too ambitious for us from a $ perspective. And I don't think we would really be getting an extra $1,100 worth of value.
From the AFL, my preference would be to not pick a more 'mature' player like Shaw, O'Shea, Mullett or Lobbe. That leaves De Koning and Schumacher. Of the two, I'd probably pick De Koning. I think he might be given more time on the list as he's a higher pick and 'talls take time'.
From the AFLW list, I like Downie (3rd B&F), Loynes (Carlton supporter), Moody (impressive ruck), Pound (solid 2017), Kennedy (I can follow her ribbon like grandpa). Plenty of others to get excited about too.
So, an AFLW player or De Koning (Schumacher as backup)......
Also, Chief has promised me a fancy shmancy 'pledge system'; an easy way for you to donate and an easy way for us to track the money. It's not set up yet, but I will let you know as soon as it is.
* This is pretty disappointing. I feel we have missed out on a greater choice of players due to the club's procrastination. Especially since I have followed this up with them multiple times and even used a contact I have at the club to try and get a better response. In Carlton's defense, the guy I was dealing with at the club has recently left (I think the club had a liddle cleanout). But in any case, I am getting a good sense of what it was like to be ODN dealing with the club over the years.

De Koning makes sense, although we wouldn't expect much, if any, game time next season. Mullett would probably be the choice if we want someone who'll get reasonable playing time. I'm happy with either.
As for the AFLW players, there are plenty of good options. Downie was impressive, but I really liked Moody in the ruck; very Kreuzeresque at times.

Typical Carlton footy club. Don’t get back to you and therefore we miss out on a senior player, and to top it off, they list Sam Kerridge as a marquee player? WTF!!!!!???? 
even Kerridge would be saying wtf

Happy to sponsor Max. Bag of Scmackos, Carlton membership, doggy coat, RSPCA voucher book, vet subscription.
He's a marquee dog so you'd better pony up big
