My perspective is positive and proactive Go hard, Go aggressive and Go early at the draft. Most of the rest, and I assume yourself, take the passive, soft, standard 3 draft pick approach- which is closer to a negative view on club management.
Could you name said holes?I am saying we have too many list holes to fill to win a premiership and we need to fill them quickly. I find our supporter base incredibly complacent given we finished 9th and went 4 and 8 in the back half of the season. The club needs to run harder and the supporter base needs to demand more and stop sitting back and think things will fall into place
I'm not against looking at the value of a pick around our pick 10 this year versus what we get with our first rounder next year, with hope we might make the top 4. It might be a call to make on draft night if someone is still on the board that we like.I am saying we have too many list holes to fill to win a premiership and we need to fill them quickly.

If carlton take more than 2 picks in the top 40 and improve our draft hand will that vindicate my view, in your opnion?So the number of picks you take at a draft is indicative of how a person sees the effectiveness of a list?
Or perhaps we should have opened up an extra spot by trading Cripps because he was finished as a player
Seriously, we have people in roles that understand it better than anyone here

Austin over the past 2 years has had no list management pressure. He has tinkered around the edges on draft day.
Picking 10, 28 and 64 will not provide enough scope to fill our list holes before this group enters the veteran stage.
Austin needs to throw the marbles against the wall and trade to achieve 5 picks in the top 40 by using future picks, taking on a salary dump or trading a player.
If we walk out with Acres and 3 draftees, that is a fail for mine

Yes we'll provide some examples of who of value we can trade to generate those picks otherwise the discussion is pointless.If carlton take more than 2 picks in the top 40 and improve our draft hand will that vindicate my view, in your opnion?

Love to get Gruzewski, two fabulous marks in first quarter, with resultant goals. His marking reminding me of Bosustow in his heyday. Has terrific X-factor. He then kinda faded out ot the game, but with an AFL preseason behind him to get him ultra-fit could be a real star. I'm excited with him.No comment on Max Gruzewski?
Terrific leap - reminds me of Port's Georgiades....
I was impressed by him as well, at what pick is expected to go??Love to get Gruzewski, two fabulous marks in first quarter, with resultant goals. His marking reminding me of Bosustow in his heyday.

According to some of the phantom drafts, around our 2nd pick, but is apparently a bolter and may go earlier.I was impressed by him as well, at what pick is expected to go??

I would trade a future first which will be about pick 12-14 next year for a pick in the early 20s and one in the late 20s based on the premise we have specific players in mind and the draft is even.l believe most of us have a different view to yourself, maybe you need to provide examples of how we can obtain picks inside 30 this year and giving away future picks in a strong draft does not seem a smart decision at all.
All very well to suggest this, but we need to give up something of value to achieve more picks.

Also I would trade one of marchbank, mcgovern or kemp if the deal was right for a pick between 25 and 35.

OK. Just finished watching the latest game. While a few “question marks” promoted their prospects later in the draft, I have no reason to change my thinking for our first pick.
Hollands for mine for his run, work rate, skills and connection. Again the viable alternative is Jefferson, should we go tall, and we definitely need a developing tall forward. Very rounded, although skinny young key. Has the necessary traits along with a willingness to work hard up the ground. Will be slow burn physically, but if Harry and Charlie stay fit, that is no issue with that as we don’t need our next generation yet. TDK, JSOS and Kemp can provide adequate back up in the near future. We do need a decent tall forward in the twos though, maybe two. Can’t see Busslinger sliding that far, while excellent at aspects, I have a couple of reservations on Hayes (exposed when forced to play one on one late v Reid after being given licence to play as a virtual unaccountable interceptor). I also don’t think a young KPD is as big a priority as the other end. Weiters and Young a quality combo. Marchy, Gov, Kemp and a couple of others third talls and we have Sam Durdin in the wings.
The second round will be dictated by sliders and whether we go tall or runner at our first. I am a little obsessed with grabbing SA key forward and very capable ruck pinch hitter Phoenix Foster with a later pick.

Have watched a bit of Hollands now. He’s a lovely footballer. Two massive strengths: two way running and hands below knees. Disposal and decision making also very good.Agree he was strong through tackles and at the contest today, surprised me a lot up against some of the bigger bodies in there. Probably won't find it as easy in the AFL but I think he'd be a round 1 ready gut running winger and is a lovely kick when in space. I'm sure he'll put on some muscle over a few pre seasons but god would it be good if he had Elijah's broader shoulders.
Clark really the only chance out of that lot.Those types of talents are ones that clubs would kill for. Especially Cadman and Tsatas. Clark is more just a tough nut who gives it his all and oozes leadership. Could see him sliding back a couple of picks for more your speculative types such as Humphrey and Philippou depending on which clubs end up with the picks.
