List Mgmt. 2025 Draft & Trade Hypotheticals

[tombomb]

They are relatively useless for them next year it’s soaking a Jed Walter bid. They would want two live picks (at least) and 9 this year is diluted. We are going to have to improve that hand a lot. Carlton fans would burn the place down if that’s the accepting offer. You always have to ASSUME the worst for future picks and Carlton would assume we’d improve.

They would require us to get in that top 5-6 this year (ie improving pick 9) then they might consider it. How we do that stuffed if I know

Why do you have to assume the worst with future picks? Who made that rule?

Cody Walker, that's his name not Jed Walter, could easily be pick 1 in the draft. They are going to need picks for next year.

And even if they didn't for some reason, it doesn't alter the value of our selection as they could easily trade it themselves next year. There's another trade period next year as well.

Their key forward stocks are worse than ours. Any of our key forwards would just about be their best key forward next year – that's how dire it is. Maybe they're offering him more money, but it's probably more that they've assured him a best 23 spot which we wouldn't be able to do, particularly while we're on the hunt for a KPF.

Buller will be a loss for us because he's handy depth, whereas be would be a big gain for Collingwood because he'll be in their best 23.

It's unfortunate, but I don't see how it could be avoided without offering him too much money or too long a contract which potentially just leaves us in the same situation down the track with contracted key forwards that we want to upgrade.

I think I’m in the Bonz school of the thought as well and think they are very confident of landing Curnow. These player managers all know what cards they have up their sleeves and also what their opposition are holding. I think they see Curnow at the Swans and Buller as much as I seen him as good insurance if Charlie is there he is surplus to their needs.
