Strategy What to do with pick 1 now we’ve got it - Do We Need Reid or is it Curtins

[Dylan82]

I've had enough of all of these kents already.

Nothing would satisfy me more right now than drafting H.Reid and watch him kick a bag against the tin-rattlers.


And anyone else wanting to entertain splitting the pick in this massively compromised draft needs to give themselves an uppercut as well.

McKercher looks like a REALLY good player. But the AFL will absolutely help get him home when Tassie enters the comp.

It'll be interesting to see how the go home to Tassie factor plays out. Traditionally, 18yos with any kind of prospects want to get the hell out of the place, and only middle-aged lesbians who like arts festivals want to move there.

I grew up in Tassie and people who are willing to leave are usually desperate to do so.

It's pretty rare for people to move back.

Yeah but surely they’d be a bit of pride wanting to come home and play in front of friends and family and play for tassie new afl team.

For that love of god get rid of the poll at the top of this thread!!!!

 

[DJMac]

I'm sure north are laughing with Reid, Wardlaw combo. While we got god knows * all

I am not jealous of North’s collection of wooden spoons.

Dunno what it's like these days but most people I knew wouldn't give up their team for a Tassie one, back when I lived there.

Talk like that will get your tongue cut out.

Apart from a few miserable supporters, the only one disappointed with today's result will be Harley Reid, whose going to North.

Reid telling Norf he doesn't`t want to play in Melb now ..

The further away from the siren we get, the more I’m snapping back to reality.

You need top top top end stars to win flags, the Dustin Martins of the world.

Really hard to get guys like that on your list from Pick 3, especially if the team picking above you gets two cracks at it first.

Not to give us hope, but GC have never won in Tasmania (0-7).

Most likely but on form we should beat Crows !!

Unsure if the tongue was firmly in cheek on this comment given where Martin was selected

In any event. Reid is the Martin of this draft in terms of potential and gamestyle. Best we’re getting from here is Merrett or a gun KPD.

Both of which you wouldn’t complain about but from where we were only one of them is genuinely gamechanging and the exact player we need going forward.

If we traded away Reid for both it’s a different story but we’re getting one of them with North potentially getting the other two

Mixed emotions really but it is what it is at the end of the day ..

Pretty cynical take. Maybe it worked for Dusty but true generational players, your Franklin's or Pendlebury's, or even a modern day great like The Bont aren't going to slip through another clubs fingers twice.

What’s North’s record in Tasmania the last 2 seasons? I’m not sure if they’ve won once there either and it’s meant to be their home games lol.

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

No pick 1 and we'll blow pick 2. Oh well, that's modern West Coast for ya.

Delusions of mediocrity, can't even tank right.

Are you on the wrong board?

No, I just recognise that the team is now run by bums who have very clearly been rolling with the tank, but fumbled the bag at the last second.

Why would an Eagles fan have three Bombers players in their name then?

You are too old to be playing detective you silly duffa, there is a perfectly stupid reason for the username which isn't worth explaining.

Only silver lining of today is I can go back to having Riley as my favourite Reid.

But Dustin Martin was pick 3 after Melbourne had two bites of the cherry

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Can't wait for the media to breathe a sigh of relief now that Reid is going to a club that's won a spoon 3 peat rather than the historically awful eagles

 

[the harry]

Who is the under-age gun from this year's champs? Assume there is another generational talent as we hear every season
