Now missed out on Konstanty wow

 

[Gigantic]

Oh FFS.

 

[Hendo_21]

Missing out on Konstanty is grim

 

[Andre the Giant]

They really have messed with us this evening. Need to remember this.

 

[Scrapporet]

This draft has turned out a nightmare IMO.

[Giant Pete]

Relax. Clarke next.

 

[Hendo_21]

George plz

 

[BarryAglett]

The Swannies board are well aware their recruiters are playing silly buggers with us and Adelaide.
None of them rate Rowston.
Now they have Konstanty by throwing the draft order into disorder. They did this by design.

 

[Scrapporet]

Not an expert on the draft but it appears we have turned Taranto,Hopper and Bruhn into not much.

 

[Giant Pete]

Or Jones… great pick!

We didn't have to take him.

 

[Giant Pete]

Clarke at next pick I reckon.

 

[Hendo_21]

Jones is cool! Still got the top pick tomorrow night to add someone. Not the best night but still solid.

 

[Callums_Guns]

 

[Giant Pete]

We didn't have to take him.

Of course they rate him. You don’t bid on someone in the first round unless you’re prepared to take them.
Of course the swans board are saying that.

 

[Scrapporet]

Jones yeah can't say we have had a good night. I know people like to sugar coat it but not excited other than Cadman.

 

[Giant Pete]

Jones is cool! Still got the top pick tomorrow night to add someone. Not the best night but still solid.

We will walk away with what we wanted. We wanted Cadman, Rowston, and at least two small forwards… Jones and probably Clarke.
Everyone needs to relax.

What are you talking about? quote the person who talked about the swans board not me.

 

[Scrapporet]

Everyone needs to relax.

No everyone needs to feel how they feel. Not everyone has to drink the kool aid.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Given the other guys we were linked to were likely to go between late first to mid 2nd rd it's likely we will have similar guys still just their draft range will be a bit different then expected.

 

[Giant Pete]

Sydney rate Rowston.

 

[Scrapporet]

This from a mod on the swans board says it all really we blew it "They traded Pick 21 and their Future 2nd Pick in 2023 to Brisbane for Pick 15. Basically traded two 2nd Round Picks for the honour of matching a bid for an academy player. They didn't think this was possible and were completely unprepared for it."


Terrible deal the recruiting team are wearing clown suits.

 

[Maximus 2011]

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE TRAIN WRECK!

We end up with Cadman who is probably the 5th best player in the draft, Rowston who is probably a 25-30 range type player and Jones who is very under sized but offers some pace.

If the Giants don't trade out for a future 1st with their next pick tomorrow this is an absolute write off! Caruso and McCartney need to be sacked.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Watching the discussion and body language of our group Caruso was keen to let Rowston go but McCartney might have made a Captain’s call. There are optics for a club like us with Academy kids and I think McCartney bowed to it.

Swans took a punt on a kid they didn’t mind knowing it could potentially ruin our plans re our selections and any chance to gain future selections.

The winners from this? Swans, get a bounty from Hawks and Collingwood…just sat there like Stephen Bradbury and saw Allan drop into their laps.
