I think you might be mistaken here
" Although his knee buckled as he went to shepherd an opponent, Baldwin's surgeon has assessed that the new injury is not related to last year's tear. "
He didnt get there to carry out the shepherd

Also believe a guy called Astbury has come back quite well from a knee and his was a bad one IIRC
Having checked Astbury injured both knees suffering a patella dislocation to both.
Many here, myself included, thought that would be the end of him, but here we sit with him as a triple premiership player.
Multiple knees don't have to mean the end of a career.

Are his injuries at HFC related? He did a hammy, and injured the Achilles area. Not sure on what leg. Regardless I be reluctant to draft a young guy with such knee issues. Trade a kpf if CJ isn't up to it.

Understand and agree with us being in the best position.
Not sure any other club can take that risk so why not take him with our last pick instead of 36?

Might be related.Over compensating with the knee could put pressure on other areas then snap.

Kouta did a knee and came back ok

Multi knees is the issue.

I definitely hope so.
Yet as people keep saying the draft is for 5 years from now.
Not only do Markov and Higgins need to be replaced eventually also cotchin. Titch. Bacha etc too
Caddy can play tall + ccj, Chol, Miller? Garthwaite? And soldo, mate incoming is not ideal but not as bad as being theorized.
You could argue that young midfield group you mentioned have shown very little up to now as a collective

He didn’t make it back really though did he
Yeah but ask any Carlton supporter he was never anywhere near the same player he once was. That's another issue with Baldwin, even if he never has another knee injury, his best may have already come and gone.
I’d be to scared to take the punt, I really feel sorry for the bloke but after seeing the likes of Daniel Menzel, Alex Johnson and Alex Woodward who all suffered numerous ACL injuries and had their careers ruined because of them.
Baldwin also hasn’t played for two years and missed arguably the two most important years in a player’s development in that 16-18yo bracket.
I honestly wish him all the best but I’d also only take him as a rookie or really late in the draft.

There's always a kid who doesn't get picked for some reason.
Think he's this years unlucky story.

would take him in a heartbeat at our 79,97 or rookie pick
For me ,
Isiah Winder is the only one that I want at Pick 17.
He fits the mould beautifully . Explosive , great endurance, x factor, ball winning goal kicker.
The more athletic freaks we get the better

Just read up on him. Seems a jet. Is he any chance at our second pick? I know nothing about up and comers FYI haha
Just looked up as well, I didn't even realise Geelong and West Coast don't have picks until after us, which we could very well get MJR before they get a pick, and Brisbane and Port only have 1 in between our first two picks... Tigers are looking good!!

Sounds Richmondy
I thought the knee ruined him?
Is there any way we can draft the King brothers? Has anyone asked the question?

There was. Period where kouta was a machine and probably the best player prior to that injury

Far from an acl though. Takes 2 years to get back to best form after an acl
Was 1/2 the player though , he was that good earlier that 50% of that std was good enough to battle his way for a handy career , shame for him really , was gonna be a big star
