Any of those except Trent West............he is average at best.

I'd take that. :thumbsu:

Me too. Fills needs we have in the midfield, key defensive posts and a ruckman. Wouldnt mind James Wall from the Calder Cannons, 198cm and plays any key position and ruck, is very mobile and agile, and is also vice-captain of the Cannons. Was named in the back pocket in the TAC Cup Team of the Year.

do you guys think you will use pick 68? Also I have heard that you guys are very interested in Dowler with pick 4.

If Hurn or Ellis are not available, then Dowler and the other KP prospects would be seriously considered. Personally I want Hurn at 4.

With regards to pick 68, at the moment it will more than likely be a "pass" unless there are further delistings.
 
Pick 1 : Marc Murphey

Pick 4 : 1.Patrick Ryder
2.Shannon Hurn
3.Xavier Ellis
4.Dowler

Pick 20 : 1.Austin Lucy
2.Birchall
3.Varcoe
4.Spangher

Pick: 36 : Wayde Mills


For pick 4 i think carlton are going to have to get a full back .. or a good tall player like Patrick Ryder to help out the defence if Patrick Ryder is taken then Hurn. The reason for picking a Full back instead of a Midfielder because in the PSD carlton should be able to pick up Selwood :cool:

1, Mark Murphy

4, Grant Birchall

20, Todd Grima

I post the lower selections when I have more time (no, I'm not from Tassie).
That would be almost the worst possible thing to happen to the club since we took wiggins and sporn in the first rd of the same draft. Birchall is not a top 10 prospect in anyone's eyes and grima has got his name noticed by kicking a bag on some defender standing 10cm smaller than him.. plz dont even suggest that

Yes well, you will notice that every so often there are players that come out of nowhere that go on to be much better players than the some of the ones with all of the hype. I just want Carlton to be able to identify those types of players before they get picked up by other clubs. I don't honestly know if I have Identified the right players or not but both have significant upsides that many of the others don't have and I doubt they will slip to 36.

Just you watch, no draft pans out like clockwork and this year’s crop is even less predictable. There will be more than one cry in the future of "why didn't we pick this guy up", I can tell you now.

Id be happy with that, or even lucy at 20, either way id like to see murphy and hurn at carlton, lucy or drum to help strenghten our back line, we need midfielders and defenders, we have enough forwards and thats what we should be looking for in the draft.(mids and defenders)

Good point mate. We need players across the board but as you said we really need qulity midfielders and quality tall defenders. I think Murphy and Hurn are standout mids, I would love two of Bower, Spangher and Lucy but not likely so will settle for one of them and say a Wayde Mills who is tall and agile at 195cm and is a consistent and disciplined defender.

Hopefully ,now that Selwood is staying put, we get McLarne to bolster the ruck stocks.

Yeah Wall is supposed to be in the Dustin Fletcher mould so could be very handy as a KP defender :D

can't see us using pick 68 unless we can't get/entice anyone decent in PSD

Why not? The two don't have anything to do with each other anyway...so far we've delisted/retired Bowyer, Clarke, Norman, Diggers and Johnson, but we've promoted/added Setanta and Sadds, so that only leaves us with enough spots on our list for 1, 4 and 36.

Without knowing the individual contractual situations, I'd say Wiggins, Prendergast, Longmuir, Chambers and Bannister are all possible candidates for the chop. Say we delist two of that lot, that means pick 68 and 80 would still be available, and I'm sure we'd at least use 68...pick 80 depends on if there's anyone we fancy at that stage, but IMO we should use it as every year there are players who get rookied and turn into quality players...just look at Ben Rutten and Nathan Bock for Adelaide!

We won't delist Camporeale until just before the PSD, so when he goes, there's our extra spot for McLaren or whoever, and if we haven't used pick 80, we'll have another pick...hopefully we'll find someone as good as Eddie Betts again...
 
I don't believe that Carlton rates Murphy as the best player in the Draft and on that basis I don't believe they'll take him with their first pick.
 
Footydraft.com has us picking up the following players:

1. M.Murphy - 179cm/76kg midfielder
4. J.Kennedy - 195cm/93kg CHF/CHB
20. S.Higgins - 183cm/76kg midfielder/forward
36. J.White - 196cm/96kg ruckman
68. J.Edwards - 191cm/84kg KPP

Anyone agree with this? I think if we take McLaren in the PSD we don't need to use a pick on a ruckman in the Nat Draft. Better off using it on either another midfielder or KPP. They are the only players we should be drafting this year - genuine KPP and midfielders.

From the KPP that we could get with the pick we have, I like:
With pick 4
- J.Kennedy

With pick 20 or 36
- P.Bower

With pick 36 or 68
- W.Mills
- J.Wall
- M.West
- J.Cheetham
- J.Edwards

What about pick 20, do you think we are going to pass on that or something?
