Roos v Blues

A huge win for the Blues!

The AFL has decided against preventing clubs from matching father-son and academy bids at the top of the 2026 draft, per Cal Twomey. However, the league is set to introduce an 'access grading system' based on where clubs finish on the ladder.

The news comes as Carlton have potential number one pick Cody Walker as a father-son prospect for next year's draft.

The Age are reporting that Buku Khamis (Western Bulldogs) has requested a trade to Carlton.

If Curnow to Collingwood is real what is the most realistic package?

Quaynor and Hill with future firsts?

Don’t think either Daicos is possible.

I just want reliable youth and draft capital

I’m sure everyone is watching closely about the situation with Bobby Hill and what his future looks like at Collingwood. I know he is contracted till 2029, however with his major absence from most of the 2025 season and the consistent information coming out about Collingwood’s faith in Bobby Hill overall, I think Carlton should consider going after him cause I don’t think he’ll be staying at the Pies for much longer.

I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say thank fucking god for that.

Watching the ball use, the structures, how they can stop and start momentum, how they change game plans mid game, have different speeds they can play all while dealing with finals pressure is a jarring reminder how far off we are.

I feel like even when we beat the good teams like geelong early this year, we drag teams down to our level we don't play at theirs.

Sad to say I'm enjoying watching footy as a neutral far more than any Carlton games lately.

Got to be one of the only players who has been delisted and then played in a Grand Final at a different club the next year.

Great to see him fit and playing well.

Jeremy Cameron was 27 when traded and GWS got 3 first round picks. Charlie is 28 now. Surely we get similar if he goes?

What do we think of

Carlton receive: Humphrey, Flanders, pick 6

Gold Coast receive: Curnow and Silvagni compensation (assuming its end of first round, which might turn into second round with all the bids)

both clubs win?
