Carlton are linked to a few areas in the Draft

Picks 13 & 18 are expected to be used to match a bid for Walker at pick 3

With a deep draft, Carlton could target ruck-forwards, key forwards & small forwards with picks in the 30-60 range

Which positions should we prioritise?

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

Wil Parker will provide depth across half-back and he is a low-risk signing.

After moving on from Saad, Williams, Boyd and Charleson, we needed to replenish our half-back stocks.

His numbers aren’t spectacular, but at 24, there’s still room for development.

He’ll also mentor our players & help build the consistency, resilience & culture we need for sustained success

I’ve never been more confident in the leadership at our club!

A few key fixture takeaways:

12 home, 11 away. 6 at the G, 5 at Marvel

5 (relatively favourable) interstate trips. One five-day break

Double-ups against six sides Collingwood, Geelong, GWS, Melbourne, North Melbourne & Port Adelaide

Just 4 primetime matches from Rounds 1-16

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

On paper, it's a favourable fixture for Carlton in 2027.

But we can't afford to be complacent or take anyone lightly

Annoying to not get Sydney at the G

We need an anyone, anytime, anywhere mentality. That's the standard of a professional, consistent footy team.

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

If we tanked instead of going on our run…

We might’ve got a better draft pick but would we have attracted Amartey and Whitfield?

The turnaround gave recruits reason to believe in our direction, young core & game style

It also gave our players much needed finals experience

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

Trade period Analysis:

✅ Key forward - Amartey
✅ Removed list cloggers (some harsh)
✅ Whitfield could elevate our ball movement
✅ Kept first-rounders away from GWS & got back 2 draft picks to use
✅ Can match a Pick 3 bid for Cody
❓Ruck depth issue
👀 DFA, drafting & SSP

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

Lachie Whitfield is a great addition!

His elite kicking, run and carry, decision making and durability make him a perfect fit for Fraser’s system. He’ll certainly elevate our ball movement

Keeping two usable picks this year and both 2027 first-rounders is a win too

[Carlton FC @CarltonFC]

HERE WE GO!

The news you’ve been waiting for. The elite Lachie Whitfield is a BLUE!

The 2027 Premiership Team:

FB: Cowan Weitering Haynes
HB: Whitfield Dean Florent

C: Cerra Cripps Carroll
Fol: Pittonet Walsh Jagga

HF: Ainsworth McKay Evans
FF: Kemp Amartey Hayward

I/C: Walker, Hewett, Wilson, Lord, Motlop

Who’s stopping Carlton? 🏆

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

Whitfield talks have hit a stalemate.

GWS have rejected Carlton’s offer of Pick 24 for Whitfield

Pick 16 is crucial for matching a Cody Walker bid, so could a multi-club deal to involving our two 20s picks to move up be the solution? Or do we give away a 2027 first round pick?

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

Cowan finished in 5th in the JNM!

A break out year for Cow! He became a key contributor down back & to our ball movement under Fraser. He was given the licence to use his daring kicking, while staying defensively sound.

Gotta lock him away before Tassie comes calling!

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

Walsh’s 2nd John Nicholls Medal!

Signed a large contract extension. Had a year of good health, remarkable consistency and serious impact. He delivered week after week and reminded everyone just how elite he is when he’s fit and firing.

Absolutely deserved!

[Carlton FC @CarltonFC]

SIMPLY THE BEST!

Sam Walsh has been crowned the 2026 John Nicholls Medallist - here’s to you, Walshy 👑

#JNM26

[Carlton Flaggers @cfcflaggers2027]

We don’t have to worry Baggers! 😮‍💨

With Port confirming Dougie Cochrane will get bid on at Pick 1, Carlton can match a bid on Cody Walker at Pick 2 with our current picks and points.

If Essendon bid at 2, we simply match and get our man
