Remember we were publicly talking about trading back into the 2st round this year, as were several other clubs, and almost no one got it done. I think that speaks to the valuation of this years draft vs next years draft. I'm sure we would have offered pick 7 and next years first rounder for pick...
Not with Tiges fielding about 7 first year players next year. They’re gonna be inaugural expansion club year levels of bad. Also everyone seems to be saying that the top prospects are academy linked. A pick 2-4 might only get us the 5th-7th best player.
Not just us in thinking that either...
Dunno about written off, I'm just not banking on him improving much more. At 25 years old and never having gotten more than 24 touches in an AFL level game and not being an elite kick/athlete, just don't think he has any one exceptional trait. He's pretty good at contests and winning the ball...
Yep 3 rucks is enough, we've got blokes who can give a chop out as well. Heath is borderline a young ruck these days at 22, he'd want to show a bit this year as numero uno at Sandy, not saying I'd expect him to be knocking on the door for the #1 ruck spot against Ro, but should be showing a bit...
Similar in last years selections as well.
Darcy Wilson: 5:52 2km time trial at the draft, 1st in the running vertical jump, top 10 in agility, top 10 in standing vertical jump.
Lance Collard: 1st in agility, 4th in the 20m sprint
Angus Hastie: 3rd in agility.
Arie Schoenmaker is the obvious...
I mean, it wouldn't be the WORST outcome for North if they finished bottom 4 and got band 1 compo for LDU. If there's a decent KPP they can trade the pick for or use in the draft it would probably be an overall improvement of their list balance. Wardlaw, Simpkin, McKercher, FOS, Powell, Sheezel...
I love how transparent he is, none of that media trained bullshit speak. Even when pressed about if he got any unusual questions from clubs in interviews. Straight away. “Oh yeah the Carlton Blues, asked me if I’d snitch on a team mate”, and the way he says it. Like “you ****in joking you...
I've had a chance to digest a bit today and after the initial disappointment of one of the elite mids not sliding through (wild optimism) I've come to look at our draft as some pretty well balanced choices. We've had so many of our young players in the last 3 years of drafting come good so...
I'm thinking Bogan Barbie. Blonde locks, butterfly tattoo on his shoulder, wearing the ring on his finger to draft night. You would not think twice if you saw him fanging on a scooter in Bali with a few Bintangs. Just also happens to be a gun footballer, which is nice.
Darcy Moore does not conform to heteronormative stereotypes such as "pornstaches" you bigoted ****. Don't let me catch you saying this shit around Brunswick or I'll bust out some devastating slam poetry.
Same, didn't see any highlights package of him specifically but regularly featured in other highlights and rarely put a foot wrong. Plus the stats in the Coates Talent League seemed very good. He and Jacques the 2 from Geelong that kept getting highlighted in reviews of games. Would have been...
We picked up the Irish bloke this morning, I think that’s still 1 more spot though isn’t it? 6 in the draft, 1 Irish rookie, Crouch moved from the main list to the rookie list.
Lol, Max Knobel was delisted with the promise of getting picked up again by Freo. Freo board saying the bloke was training down at Freo this morning, then the Suns poach him by the afternoon.
Imagine going from the purple kit to probably the only worse guernsey in the league. The big red S...
Sounds like he's referring to the 2024 season. We would have loved to have him out there (in 2024) but we lost him.
But if it is a degenerative knee, you would assume it's only going to get WORSE... So then yeah, weird quote in the context of putting him on the rookie list for another year.
They’re there to pump the draft, anyone who takes a lot of picks “wins” the draft to them. We did well I think, but West Coast make a strong case for better value for money with Allan @ 16, Shanahan @ 30 (!) and Gross @ 46.
Shanahan and Dodson the 2 biggest sliders you’d think, rucks always a...
Good night, Boxshall and Dodson look like great value picks. Barrat some on here right so happy to back him in. Can't wait to see the lads at the club and training.
Looking forward to re-branding as the South Australian Saints with the addition of Dodson. Nas, Pou, Dodson, Keeler. Not bad, not ****in' bad.
Geelong the chodes bidding on Hof
Value for money, I'd say West Coast, Richmond and us look the goods. Who knows how it develops obviously, but on face value, there's some great value picks in there.
