[Mutineer]

Mutineer who was the tall mobile kpd you were talking about a couple of weeks ago? Local kid, late/rookie chance?

Gone Port took him with their pick 57

Kyle Marshall heads to Alberton with Port's final pick

Kyle Marshall joins Port Adelaide with the club's final pick in the 2022 NAB AFL Draft.

What I’m most disappointed about last nights draft is the lack of acknowledgment that I picked we’d trade in twice.

Shame on all of you

did you forecast that we would do that but still end up with two 2023 second round picks?

 

[GrommoT]

Rookie Draft started...

 

[GrommoT]

We pick... Macca at #5

 

[Danger in Texas]

Mostly re-listings so far lol

 

[Crow-eater]

2 new players taken so far, everyone else is re-drafts

 

[NTRabbit]

Club continues to think it's standing up next to Sydney as a model of excellence and ruthless efficiency, when at every single opportunity it is plainly demonstrated that we are nowhere near them

 

[Mutineer]

[Danger in Texas]

Verrall to the Dees

 

[Mostyn]

Are they traded every year though? This year it was Jackson and he’s a gun going home.

I remember when we were going for Preust 2 years running and didn’t choose us. Unless it’s a returning SA boy, we are always going to face competition if they are decent and we still have to overcome Port

Collingwood traded their ruckman to Melbourne this year ...

Plus Meek?

 

[Mutineer]

Verrall to the Dees

I reckon the Dees cut Sydney's lunch there.

 

[GrommoT]

We pick... Seeds at #21

 

[George Kramer]

Collingwood traded their ruckman to Melbourne this year ...

Plus Meek?

Who was injured and on a massive contract and their ruck was performing well.

Meek is one developing ruck that moved.

 

[Scorpus]

We re-drafted McPherson and Seedsman as expected and therefore have no list spots remaining

 

[George Kramer]

Verrall to the Dees

Well so that makes it us and Collingwood without a ruck under 25

 

[Mostyn]

Nankervis and McEvoy were better players than ROB. Not great with their tapwork but pretty good around the ground. ROB is good at neither.

No, they're about the same as ROB. So's Stanley. Just all middling functional players.

 

[NTRabbit]

We re-drafted McPherson and Seedsman as expected and therefore have no list spots remaining

An unfortunately predictable end to another underwhelming trade/draft period

 

[Danger in Texas]

Magor a steal

 

[AFC979810]

This while downplaying of rucks I find really amusing. It’s the one position on the ground that’s solo usually and hence it gets highlighted.

Teams win a flag with an ok ruck, see not important.
Teams win a flag with a gun ruck, yeah but did you see the rest of the team, see not important.

Teams win flags with an average forward, defender or mid and yet no one ever says not to use draft capital on them.

I just don't see the importance of investing in Ruckman.

For me there is very little correlation between premiership success and elite ruckman - whereas key forwards and midfielders there is.

Also - there is very little correlation between top ruckmen in the league and their draft position. Majority of quality ruckmen come from rookie lists and poaching from other squads.

Keep the first 3 rounds of the draft to anything but ruckmen and just add prospects in the rookie draft. If that doesn't work out - do what Richmond did at the end of 2016 and trade pick 46 for an ok ruck.

is STILL on a list?

 

[Mutineer]

Wait Kayne Turner is STILL on a list?

Alistair must have ticked off on it.

 

[GrommoT]

We took Macca at #5 ahead of Seeds ... wonder if we might have been slightly worried about another club swooping in on Macca?

 

[aabp1978]

Club continues to think it's standing up next to Sydney as a model of excellence and ruthless efficiency, when at every single opportunity it is plainly demonstrated that we are nowhere near them

I really dont get why people hold up Sydney as some example of excellence...I mean in 100 years the Swans have won three premierships right (and one of those was in 1933)? I would have thought if we want to model ourselves on "excellence" then really we should be looking at Hawthorn, Geelong...clubs that actually win things...not a team that claims this amazing culture, but when push comes to shove consistently falls short (1996, 2014, 2016, 2022...so basically 4 out of their last 6 GFs)?

North Melbourne fans would be absolutely devastated

I am not saying we have to use a high pick on a ruckman, I’m saying we should have a developing ruckman on our list. Our current ruckman was a rookie.

Now that Melbourne drafted Verrall, it’s only Collingwood and us without a ruckman under 25 and one of 4 clubs without an under 22 ruckman.

But hey, we are a highly successful club consistently making good decisions, maybe we will start a trend.
