List Mgmt. 2026 AFL Draft

[Coach_Required]

No more discount and a premium for top 4 teams.

Looks like we will get a bonus pick too.

Blues will tank, i am 100% certain of it once they lose to North this week and Voss gets sacked. Makes sense, they get pick 1 and use it on Cochrane, Port match, they pick up Walker at pick 2, they still have Sydneys 1st rounder and then because their pick 1 gets pushed to pick 2 they score another pick with the new rules about top 5 picks.

Call me crazy, but just saw some big Braydon Pruess highlights. Given it can't get any worse wonder if he's worth a 6 month deal in the mid season draft to get us to 2027

What is this feel sorry fest for Carlton and essendon lmao. Oh no I can't cut the queue for **** all anymore

 

[richoatthedisco]

So its going to cost blues and bombers a bomb and we're going to get an extra 1st rounder out of it?

Pick 27 out of it

It'll be a better pick than that.

Say Poort and Carlolton finish 15th and 16th respectively. So they start with pick 3 for Carltoon and 4 for Poort. What will be funny is whoever's kid gets bid on second will get the extra end of R1 pick, but the other won't.

Eg. Essenspoon bid on Dougie. Poort match with pick 4, so that pick's gone. No more top-5 pick to get shunted back. But Carloltoon's pick 3 does move back, so they get the end of R1 pick. But then Essindrugs bid on Cody, and pooof - pick 4's gone.

So, for eg.
1 - Dougie (Poort)
2 - Cody (Carlol)
3 - Arki (Ess)
4 - Harry van Hammer (Rich)
5 - (tied to) whoever finished 14th
6 - 13th
7 - 12th
8 - 11th
9 - 10th
10 - 9th
11 - 8th
12 - 7th
13 - 6th
14 - 5th
15 - 4th
16 - 3rd
17 - 2nd
18 - 1st
19 - Ess
20 - Rich
21 - Ess
22 - Rich
23 - Car

etc.

There might be other bids and matches in the first round, but the likelihood is at least one pick in the first round will be used to match, so the picks will stay roughly the same. Might even come in if for eg. picks 14 and 18 are used to match a bid at 8.

Every year there are prospects that missed out at the National Draft and use it as motivation to come back better the next season. Oliver Griffin may well be one of those, having put him name in the early frame for the mid season draft. He was impressive in this game, especially early, showing competitive fire and physicality along with the springy athleticism, clean hands and aerial attack to make him a real marking threat.

Every year there are third tall forward prospects that missed out at the National Draft who come back as overagers, kick goals, get hyped by Twomey, taken in the MSD, then are never seen or heard from again.

A quick question, if Carlton finished 16th and Sydney ended up 8th, if we bid on Walker with the number 1 pick, would Carlton have to trade both their picks to capture Walker. A follow up question, do we think they would give up pick 3 and potentially pick 10 for Walker?

 

[TheOptimum18]

A quick question, if Carlton finished 16th and Sydney ended up 8th, if we bid on Walker with the number 1 pick, would Carlton have to trade both their picks to capture Walker.

Based on the new rules, Carlton would need to use (in this scenario) pick 3 and whatever the Sydney pick is to match the bid (as those will be their first two picks in this draft). They won't be able to trade out pick 3 and Sydney pick for multiple picks to match.

A follow up question, do we think they would give up pick 3 and potentially pick 10 for Walker?

Currently, not sure why they won't, unless they want to pick 2 kids up rather than 1, but Walker is close (by all accounts) to being one of the best kid in the draft, so it potentially may be worth it.

Will be a sh*tty move for Carlton to get Walker to commit to them as F/S, and then not match a bid, knowing that he'll be bidded on early.

Always seems to be injured this kid.

Been getting injured a lot without playing footy since he was accepted into Port’s NGA.

Port seem to think no one is going to pick him early lol

Carlton will tank for pick 1 and bid on him giving them an extra 1st rounder.

Agreed.
Port trying to keep him under wraps

The mad Hatter is a mix between Gawn and English.

So he’s an albino that smokes darts on way to training

Rate it

 

[_RT_]

Blue's fans sooking about the new rules and threatening legal action.



They only have to pay 300 points more and have plenty of draft capital. Also they got Harry Dean and Jack Ison last year under the old system.

Used picks 20, 23 & 25 to match a bid for Harry Dean at 3 last year and now they're having a sook.

Would have to be a condition that you don't get a compensation pick if your pick that was pushed back, was then used to match a bid? lol

 

[Shinrisker]

Is

he athletic ?
We all know he is tall and built like a brick sheet house but never seen much posted about his athletic traits and mostly his size

Looks like he's got a good leap and is agile for a big man

 

[noobermensch]

A lot to like about this first up performance from Ethan Drever. A midfielder with a big frame who likes to impose himself in contested situations, Drever was especially effective at stoppage, getting first hands on the ball a lot or laying tough tackles to prevent the opposition breaking free. One of the most impressive sights in footy is a midfielder breaking clear from center bounce, driving forward and bombing a long goal, and Drever nearly did it twice at a pivotal time in the final quarter. On the negative side, he will need to work on his composure and decision making when kicking the ball.

He needs more strength through core. Compared to Williams who stands up in tackles and gives himself time to pick his handball target, Drevers panics and squirts out handballs to anywhere when people are draped all over him. Also needs to find easier uncontested ball.

But the endeavour and athleticism are excellent, he seemingly got first hands on the ball at every stoppage and those goals and even the poster were class.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

What Carlton pays for Walker will be peanuts compared to what we'll have to shell out to add Parker Cotchin to our 2037 back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back premiership list. I don't know how we're going to do it.

The Cotchins are moving too Brissy.
So just like the Hawks with Hodges son.
Parker will have a choice.
Rich or Bris.
