Game Day 2018 DRAFT - Christmas is early this year

[Dudersaurus]

But we could take the 16th best player available to us?

Reductio ad absurdum: that is like saying pick 9 was like pick one because it was the best player in available to us.

Especially when we bid on players and can't have them, it can't be argued that the academy and FS picks don’t count.

Surely already been posted by now but just incase

 

[Dudersaurus]

That’s what I was thinking, if Brodie wants to come home surely he’d want to play with his brother.

Is the younger brother any good?

I hate passing on picks.

A great line from I think Brad crouching when asked about whether playing with Matt was a motivation for re-signing: have you ever had a little brother?

It's probably nice but not always a positive. A bit like parents. Might be nice to be in same city, but not necessarily living with them.

 

[Crowboto]

Remember when Jeremy was coming to the Crows, or Mitch was going to the Eagles ?? And go watch Riley's kicking test at the combine. It's not pretty viewing. He's a very speculative pick.

He should be a perfect fit at the Poeer then.

 

[Dudersaurus]

So Kieran Strachan and Jordan Butts.

Anyone?

According to drafting tracker Strachan is 23 and Butts 18. Both are weightless. Hard to tackle I guess, but have trouble holding a mark.

 

[ad victoriam]

What with all the Brodie Grundy talk he signed on until end of 2020. when he becomes restricted free agent.

 

[Crowboto]

Defies logic really. Worst case is we flop like this year and get pick 8, its still a 5 or 6 pick upgrade at worst. And the 2nd rounder is almost more remarkable.
We dont do raids.
Im a bit with Bicks on this one, I reckon we are preparing a raid.

Asshat extrodinaire.

 

[conVINCEd]

hope we take Kyle Reid as rookie

Did he go undrafted?

 

[FR0GGY]

Is it true with rookied Straughny? What the hell?

 

[mistylake]

As it was their first team and were allowed to take players from other clubs, Davis and Bock.

Suns took Bokchoy.

 

[GreyCrow]

Knocked it out of the park? About as hyperbolic as we shit the bed and sucked at our picks

In Hamish we trust? Sure but there is also direction from the coach. Yet the irony is most coaches arent at the club as the players for the style they want to coach arent there any longer

I do love our trading for picks. I am happy that 4 young lads get an opportunity to be developed by our staff.

Am I ecstatic? Nope. Am I melting ? Nope.

Goldilocks

We certainly knocked the pick trading out of the park.

 

[FR0GGY]

Ch7 had up that we had GWS 2nd round pick not Carlton’s

 

[Bicks]

 

[hey shorty]

Which is Carltons.

 

[70lethal]

Sos conscience has finally got the best of him and he has acknowledge how they have ruined careers so he said f**k it give Adelaide the 1st next year and see how they go with it.

Either that or we are handing him brown paper bags.

 

[FR0GGY]

Which is Carltons.

Not sure they understand that otherwise they would say Carlton’s.

 

[Cleric]

Asshat extrodinaire.

Read the red square lol

 

[mistylake]

We are gunning for Lukosius. It’s obvious.

We thought we could get him this year but GC wouldn’t deal. We are restocking then for a trade while Luko will turn on the waterworks like McGovern or Schache.

Luckily we have traded our 2019 first so we don’t need to tank again like this year.
Because that was not particularly enjoyable.

 

[Carmo]

Can someone do a comparison between the players we picked up and who they are like in the comp currently. Ie Ned McHenry is like a young taller Hayden Ballantyne etc etc so i can explain who we drafted to my old retired not interested in watching vidoes mate.

 

[Golumless]

Port drafted Grundy to attract his brother next year. They are way better at getting people to their club.

Yes. They're so good Grundy will be at Collingwood for the rest of his career.

That ship has completely sailed, though I have no doubt both clubs will offer massive amounts of money to Brodie.

Is he okay ? The posting became very odd
He said he felt sick.
I hope he is okay. Im about to retire just putting it out there

I'm not convinced Port will throw heaps of cash, they just did that with Lycett

He's fine. Just doesn't agree with the drafting.
