With the new rules it's in his best interests to hold off on deciding which club he prefers. He can choose between two clubs on draft night and say SOS thinks we can get a better player or someone bids too early, Bailey could decide he doesn't want to go to said early bidder and go somewhere as familiar like St Kilda.

He's being smart about it all, keeping his options open while making the most of the opportunities given to him by the two clubs vying for his loyalty. Being a young draftee with frequent AFL system training for two years now is a huge head start.

With the new rules he doesn't have to decide between the two unless they both match a bid.

Jack is in year 12, 2 weeks off being year 11. From all reports there is interest from other clubs. 2nd-3rd round according to resident draft expert Cal Twomey and co
Knightmare is predicting a bid around #29 for Jack so the info is coming from somewhere.

Very interesting. I had heard (and mentioned here previously) that he seemed to be leaning towards the Saints.

If he doesn't have a strong pull towards Carlton, I could see why that might make sense.

I am not that confident on Bailey.

St Kilda said they were after him yesterday and today Callum looked askance when asked by Nat whether we'd be able to draft both Jack and Rice.

The kid is classy on and off the field. No other club would be stupid enough to play games with such a prestigious father son selection. Lock him in for peanuts ; )

Said this for ages. Another club might come along and try... but you know that they wouldn't have him for long if we decided not to match their bid.

After 2 years in another clubs development system, he would walk out on them and straight to Carlton.
