List Mgmt. 2026 Draft and Trade Thread

[bedford]

Sure!
You only hold 50% of our combined opinion on here!

I never said you called him a star !

 

[Adnico26Parker]

My understanding is that we don't hold any 2026 Carlton draft picks. The second round picks we got back from them were for 2025 and 2027. So where they finish this season doesn't have a direct effect.*

* A higher finish this year gets them a tougher draw for next year (at least in theory) so maybe is better for the expected value of the 2027 future second that we hold.

Nothing from the Curnow deal, but we have their 3rd round pick from the Florent trade

So basically have a draft hand of like 40, 45 & 50 going into the draft

We currently hold 35, 42, 44 (and 70 from the Serong trade)

707 points (2nd lowest other than GC who have 0 because they traded them all out)

Yeah but you know that compo picks will push them all back

Oh, 100%

Your picks are probably closer to the mark

 

[Kbroome]

I wouldn't be shocked if all we did is sat on those picks and if McCartney hasn't been bid on just shift them back and try and pick up F3s or something

So largely irrelevant where Carlton finish then.

Why McCartney?

 

[Kbroome]

Why McCartney?

I think he is naturally about a round ahead of the rest at the moment, so I used him as the likely example of the first bid on.

 

[robbieando]

McCartney has to nominate us first

 

[Kbroome]

McCartney has to nominate us first

Very true, if he is back for the last 2-3 VFL games it could be telling if he plays a game for one of the sides

 

[bedford]

You might have to keep posting that for a couple who keep persisting

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I thought he was 100% North bound? did it change recently

 

[Kbroome]

Potentially has made his decision internally but neither club knows at the moment, or at least thats my thinking/understanding

So not even worth talking about till we know

Not that I'm aware

Yep but I don't think we need to have to put in brackets (hasn't exactly chosen us or NM) for every mention of McCatney is mentioned

You could just use M from the Academy and that would take care of Meaney, McGroder, Medved and McCartney

 

[DST]

This is the problem. The second a player starts thinking about a big pay day, he instantly puts himself into trade territory no matter how much he wants to stay. I have no doubt if he was happy to take a fair return in order to stay the deal would be done by now and a fair deal is about $750k

The Parties deal is almost entirely dependent on what happens with Ben King and Jed Walter, so you won't hear anything from us or him until they are resolved.

McCartney is going to nominate North Melbourne under father son and the club knows this and have done so for at least 12 months.

 

[DST]

Correct, the club has known for at least 12 months that he intends to nominate North Melbourne.

 

[bedford]

McCartney is going to nominate North Melbourne under father son and the club knows this and have done so for at least 18 months.

So who keeps bringing it up

 

[Kbroome]

Weird given that 10 months ago McCartney was given a VFL game, if the Swans knew that it was a lost cause they wouldn't have given him a game.

Jason has also gone on radio multiple times to say he has no clue which way he is going to go. (Yes Jason could be bluffing but the Swans actions make no sense late last year)

 

[Cadsky]

So who keeps bringing it up

I brought it up, but I'm just an uninformed nobody that hadn't heard he intended to pick north or I wouldn't have bothered mentioning him.
