Autopsy 2018 NAB AFL Draft

[BarkerFan]

wtf is going on????
why did we make such a poor trade with Carlton only to pick Robert Young who would be on no-ones radar??
Why not take him at 75?

We have made so many baffling pick swaps it is really concerning. We really are stupid.

Google tells me that Robert Young is a 23 year old Indigenous small forward.

Don't love the fact that 3/5 draftees are mature age, but welcome to the guys nonetheless!

 

[GTrains Mullet]

So no upgrade of Marshall?

 

[StCicatriz]

I quite like the three mature age picks, they look like they have some attributes we need.

I also like it because imo it’s helps your development not to have too many kids getting smashed at VFL level.

this. i feel the same. good mix of talent brought in

we must have got mail that someone else was going to take him.

 

[King_Steele]

No Pickett?

if nothing else, Sandy will be better next year.

[Savatage]

Another quick indigenous boy.

 

[Darrian Barnett]

Will be nice to have a competent VFL side next year. I hope all our mature age draftees make it, but if they don't at least they're really going to lift the standard of Sandy

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-10-20/robert-young

Looks promising

 

[Plugger35]

Who the glory be is Robert young

Son of Johnny Young so he has some talent.

 

[Impatient Saint]

I like the idea of taking the mature aged state league players. All very quick and two indigenous boys which is great.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

dunno bout hind but super pumped with parker and young

definitely happy to take a punt on a livewire quick player late in the draft

 

[King_Steele]

Another Terry Milera lol

 

[thomas_m18]

Jesus this guy loves a goal.

Rate that TBH, want to see boys getting up and about when we kick a few goals, will improve the morale big time which is a huge issue for us.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Robbie Young's a good kid, played for our reserves up until last year when he moved to North Adelaide. More often than not he looked better than a few of our AFL listed guys out there. Pretty happy to see him get a go at AFL level.

Maybe Young was on another club’s radar. A diamond in the rough perhaps?

 

[Barrels]

Excellent melts this year all, well done.

 

[st_trav_ofWA]

guys before going off half cocked about the trade you dont understand saying the club is stupid maybe just say you dont understand it ... our club is far from stupid and there would be backroom deals and reasons for the pick swaps ... just cause we dont understand it from the outside doesnt mean its stupid

 

[King_Steele]

Is Matthew Parker Aboriginal?

 

[bird_man]

Hind would have played plenty of senior footy if he were on our list last year.

He fills a need and is ready to go. He's a good pick up.

Bloody hell suddenly I’m excited !
