The brief was for midfielders. Ryan no - George maybe

Then why did we get a defender with our first pick?

 

[briztoon]

All right nutters, see ya'll some time next year.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

 

[Freomaniac]

Freo’s better players ???
Didn’t think they had any

So you are following DanWA and his religious cult? lol

Even Danny Admits that the dockers future is as bright as Dog poo lol

 

[DanWA]

I love it when you compare the eagles worst players on the list to Freos better players lol

I love you Danny lol

Very scary that you class Liam Henry as a better Cockburn player

 

[Spooky17]

You may not have come in peace originally, but I wish you the very best in your hunt for a Redden replacement.

Oh, and watch out for swinging dicks.

 

[eaglesnutcase]

Just going to get in early and ask why our recruiting team loves brutish meatheads when the team is so desperately crying out for some silk and composure.

You need both. Hewitt is silk!!

 

[archiemoses]

Neither wanted to move West anyway so doesn't matter really , WC made the right move .

None of them said that verbatim.

 

[Freomaniac]

Very scary that you class Liam Henry as a better Cockburn player

are you scared of matt the crab taberner? lol

 

[Dark Sharks]

briztoon thanks for your candor all off-season matey. You're part of the family now.

Feel free to pop back in to discuss that dopey kent Devon next off season. Do you think you'll take our 4th or would a 5th rounder do it?

 

[jesterwester]

Whilst there is delight at our draft crop. Hewett and Ginbey will be tracked to Wardlaw / Sheezel for the next 5 years.

Why comparing to both Sheezel & Wardlaw? We could have only selected one of them.

If you’re going to add in extra names you might as well add in Tsatsas & Clark who we were noted as having interest in at 2 and could have chosen had we not traded down.

All come to the clubs now on level footing, draft position will mean nothing if you aren’t prepared to put the work in. I’m quite confident that whatever happens both Reuben & Elijah are going to give it a red hot crack.

 

[BOND 007]

Was Long drafted as part of that midfield brief? Or a forward given he showed how good he was there at the champs?

Rioli gone, Cripps getting older

 

[BOND 007]

BOND 007

Congratulations to you and the team for an excellent draft period.

May I ask, was Sam Gilbey in contention for one of our late or rookie picks? Or was the broken leg too much of a concern?

Seems like a quality kid with some excellent attributes.

His name was mentioned as were others - many great kids. Unfortunately clubs have a set number on their list

 

[FKASC]

None of them said that verbatim.

It’s set in stone now. Just like Worpel and Hobbs.

 

[Astro7]

Just going to get in early and ask why our recruiting team loves brutish meatheads when the team is so desperately crying out for some silk and composure.

Hewitt, Chesser, Dewar, Long, Cobes and the new ruck guy seem to have some silk and composure.
Brutish meatheads (love the term!) as you know have their place and are needed as extractors and tacklers and general mongrelising -if they have pace and skills even better!
Otherwise not everyone can help the way they look, but they can improve their looks and a mullet is often a poor choice albeit a current trend? ((;

 

[Mattman93]

The brief was for midfielders. Ryan no - George maybe.

Thanks. I take you mean a literal maybe re George? That is, it still would have been a toss up?

I'm also interested in the Hewett case. It seemed possible at one stage he'd even make it to our third pick. Was that ever considered likely? Were we always going to pounce if he got through to 12? How high did we have him compared to other first-round mid options that went just before?

 

[twce13]

It's 2022, for all we know ROB may actually identify as a pie.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Would love to know what role they actually see Burgiel playing.

HFF looks good to me. His foot skills and delivery forward of centre is quite impressive.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Just going to get in early and ask why our recruiting team loves brutish meatheads when the team is so desperately crying out for some silk and composure.

You need both. We need to start winning contested football. You need the extractors to start moving it to the outside

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Bit surprised that they tell the players that they're about to pick them (or at least just some of them?).

This interview with O’Brien on Mark Duffield’s show would indicate we were always going to take Hewett with our 2nd pick and whilst confident he’d be there weren’t certain of it

Doubt we considered waiting to our 3rd pick

WC have never really played cute at the draft. Want a player then draft him at your selection & don't run the risk. Considerable interest in Hewitt in the late teens

Well unless Port are throwing free future 2nds at you to move back a couple of spots

Yea - but those are special times when you know things (& realise the offer is too good to refuse)
AKA Sydney this year with Hawthorn

 

[salo]

Also, people shouldn't forget the actual best recruit we've got this year in Jarrod Schofield.

Didn't we already get him last year?

How much did you enjoy Sydney reaming GWS?
