List Mgmt. Carlton's 2018 Draft Thread II

[HBF]

We have added Setterfield Walsh & Stocker to our midfield. WOW

Our midfield will be the envy of the rest of the league in a couple of years.

From people in the know, how is next year's draft looking? Guessing not as strong as this year. Truth be told, with Stocker's highlights, his highlights look better than Paddy Dow's.

So if Stocker would be rated top 5 in another draft... if next year's draft is weak, this trade is even more genius.

Stocker only missed last years draft by just over three weeks so it's abit hard to be comparing him to next years crop. He will have close to 18months on half of them

Can’t see us not finishing bottom 4 next year. Massive gamble

I can see us making big strides next year without the injuries that cruelled us this year plus the great players we have added plus we get Docherty back to control the play from defence, I am very optimistic for next year with the number of pluses we add for next.

Well aduh num nuts. Hately is the player to pull the trigger on not a 19 year old over age imo

Opinions. Assholes. Stocker being better than hatley...

Boekhorst comparison already being mentioned on the D&T board.

**** no!

 

[Bostonian]

Stocker will play round 1 2019 - he is super good. Watch him play then talk.

So exactly what I said, wait until the end of next season to judge the trade.

Who'd have thunk it.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Love it! Very ballsy move! By the reaction of the boys they really rated Stoker really highly quick duel sided bull with terrific skills that hopefully turns out to be a gem pick just like Zachy Fisher the midfield is starting to have a great dynamic about it a couple of classy medium forwards and a small defefender over the next 2years would have our list cherry ripe

You have never watched him play to understand the decision made by the club.

 

[Mondyboy]

This is a reserve judgement moment. Haven't said anything negative, already said we have to wait a year to see how this one pans out.

People saying this is an awesome move have no idea if it will be or not. Yet you'll call them positive because of their opinion.

Positivity sounds rather simple minded in that example.

It’s an awesome on the face of it. Awesome because it’s bold and confident and shows that we aren’t willing to be cellar dwellers for eternity. If we finish last next year, I won’t be complaining about what we did tonight.

That's fine. When we drafted Boekhorst the same kind of people were pumping up tyres and saying we got a good one, the others said let's wait and see.

That always happens. Deal with it. We are connected to the entertainment business, tonight I am entertained. Love the brass balls and the outcome.

Then why complain NOW?

Haven't had this much tenting in 23 years.

Setterfield is the pick of the lot, guy is a gun!

I remember when I was on Talking Carlton and Synbad (for those that know him) went ballistic as soon as we drafted Cripps.... let time be the judge.

Forgot about that. Hilarious thread to read, been a couple of years, might have to have another look and another chuckle.

 

[RedFury]

Geelong reckon Walsh is the next Joel Selwood, I reckon (and it seems Carlton agree) that Stocker is that guy.

Oh hang on ... WE ****ING DO !!!

Fisher, Kennedy?

 

[pinot]

What guarantees do we have 2019 pick 2-8 will be better than Stocker? Which is likely earmarked for a trade two years ago anyway.

 

[Mr_Plow]

I doubt that, but he could have easily gone anywhere from pick 12 onwards given how things came about.

I certainly rate him higher than Jones, Butters, Quaynor, Clark, McHenry, Sturt and Duursma, who will all picked before him. I guess that puts him at 9 to 11 on my board.

I suspect the person who posted that on Twitter may have exaggerated.

I agree that the most likely scenario would have Stocker between 8-10 on our board.

 

[Weiterbot23]

Amazingly there has been no talk of next years draft being better than this years draft.

This increases the goodness of Stocker deal

 

[Blue and Blue]

I like how no-one saw this coming. The club is so tight these days. It gives so much confidence to know this.
