Carlton
Presuming Carlton don’t win another game this season and used their picks to:[/SIZE]

1 Gibbs
17 trade to Geelong for Steve Johnson
19 trade to Brisbane for Aker
35 trade to West Coast for Gardiner
And trade Fisher for Polak

Then the team would be something like this if they take Polak

Houlihan Thorton Russell

Waite Polak Scotland

Gibbs Stevens Simpson

Kennedy Whitnall Johnson

Aker Fevola Kouta

Gardiner Murphy Walker

O’hAlilpin (Back up Ruck and defender) Lappin Blackwell McGrath (Tagger)
 
We have learnt from our mistakes of the late '90s. You must use your early picks to build a list of young players for sustained success. That team would have too many ego's to keep in check - would de-stabilise the current list of players.
There is no way we will trade all but 1st round picks. May trade a second round pick for Polak if we get a priority pick.

oh no. We cant trade away our future for undisciplined older players from other teams. This is why our side has been struggling for so long in the first place.

Also, we cant trade fisher. He's extremely talented and just keeps getting better. Pagan also rates him very very highly and wont let him go
 
Firstly odds are we wont have to use a trade for Gardiner. We'll get him in the PSD if we really want him.

And with that team....doubt we'd make finals. But we could make a few headlines for other reasons.

I notice you support Fremantle, well thats the way your club has used draft picks in the past, its not something we will follow;)
 
As much as i love watching Steve Johnsn play, he probably is not the type of player we need. Firstly i dont think he has put a full season together for as long as i can remember. His ankles are hanging on by a piece of string... and he doesnt seem to be the type of player who puts in the hard yards or would put his bpdy on the line....

Would be happy to have him has a later pick.... 50's maybe

Nah Carlton thats a a stuffup but i do think we should hire ever who drafts for Freo. 1 of the best lists in the league n they should still of had Mcphee, Simmonds White and made a huge mistake with the whole croad deal the could have gotten Judd if not for that stuff up

i would say no

that 22 won't be able to stay on the park each week, injuries, suspension and form
-Johnson injury prone
-Gardiner is no longer a ruckmenat afl level, he is a tall fwd and we don't need him
-Polak we already have players with potential who are not performing, what is going to make him perform at carlton?
-Aker is a star and IMO would be a very good addition (although i would not want to give up much for him)
its hard enough to get 1 trade done, let alone 4 trades
-gibbs would be a great addition, but early picks in their 1st year don't guarantee wins
-there is only 2 shut down players in that backline IMO that is not enough
-O’hAlilpin is still learnig the game, playing him in the ruck he would be crucified. imaging lade, brogan, cox walking in to contest the bounce and seeing O’hAlilpin oposses them?

Wouldnt like any of these trades, except possibly 35 for Gardiner
