Autopsy 2023 AFL Draft - Day 1 & 2 Kickoff at 7pm

[Mister B]

Schoenmaker to StKilda. I'm sure their world renowned culture will keep him in check if he is one to have issues.

 

[Membling]

You will eat those words

Statistically unlikely purely due to the pick selections

Statistically likely cause my crystal ball is horribly faulty

 

[Kiama Chris]

Ruck, mid, tall back. Boxes ticked.

Kind of expected it to be in a different order but what the heck.

 

[Bloods86]

hopefully cabor tomorrow

Small/med defender and KPF are my remaining needs. So Cabor or Gander. All the talk is Kirk though, unless we think he can go down back I'm not sure why.

 

[Ticky009]

For those curious - Schoenmakers interviewed very badly apparently.

Wouldn't be surprised if Kirk ends up a lockdown small defender.. His temperament seems pretty well suited.
Be very happy with a combo of Nick Smith and Captain Kirk

2 talls in the draft. I guess that seals Sam Reid

Oof. That would make me very happy.

There's nothing to seal. Next year is without doubt his last year with us.

 

[Swannie0307]

Happy for Arie but seeing his highlights on the coverage and Shifter & Ablett waxing lyrical about him made me feel a little sick,.. but here’s hoping Snell will be an absolute gun for us

 

[the hypnotoad]

It's ridiculous how the media jump on the bandwagon as soon as something out of the ordinary happens.
"29 picks in the first round. This is ridiculous" they say and "the AFL will have to address this."
Seems odd that the same system of academy bids, father/son bids and compensation picks have been in place for many years yet this is the first time that round 1 has gone anywhere near this many picks. Let's see what happens next year before we throw the baby out with the bathwater.

we live in a world of faux outrage ... and this is football ... with so many "new media" outlets these days, footy journos (and most other kind of journos) are on one high horse after another, all trying to "out-outrage" the competition, louder and louder ...
as you point out, this is a good example of the inanity of faux outrage ...

 

[Swannie0307]

I find it staggering that neither were picked. Will surely go in the rookie draft.
Would we pick one of them if they were available at our pick tomorrow?

Breaking news: they both got picked up very late!!

 

[Bloods86]

Some more vindication for my late picks for Port in our phantom. McAuliffe at 40, Torrent sneaking in.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

For those curious - Schoenmakers interviewed very badly apparently.

So whats the census behind a draftee reviewing badly attitude? or answers to questions

 

[Ticky009]

There's obviously something going on. I realised that Arie was a stretch at our first pick but for him not to be selected at all is amazing.

Stevens went at #58

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Why didn't the Lions match on Snell?

 

[Bandicoot]

Who is that?

Was Schoenmaker

I didn't dig too deeply into it mate I wasn't really all that interested.

 

[Ticky009]

Why didn't the Lions match on Snell?

Because they couldn't. Snell had not played in the Academy long enough for them to select. They would have hoped he'd fall through to the rookie draft.

 

[ShireSwan]

Geez, Carlton hit the jackpot when Camporoele hit the target twice 18 years ago........

On that note, say if there's a total gun of a kid who looks like one of our former players. Could we get him to take a DNA test to check so that we could use F/S to get him (or her)

A team full of Cappers? No thanks!

 

[Swannie0307]

Why didn't the Lions match on Snell?

Wasn’t eligible because of some 5 year rule I think they mentioned.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

A team full of Cappers? No thanks!

You reckon there's 22 out there? I'd say highly possible

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Just read McVeigh attested to Snell's character to go with his football. Put 2 and 2 together and I think there's the answer as to why we didn't take Schoenmaker.

 

[Bandicoot]

Possibly asked some very tough questions.

Beatson has said that he likes to ask questions that puts draftees out of their comfort zones. Arie must have failed badly.
