Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids.
Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish.

Trade speculation belongs here.
That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades.

Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk belongs here.

 

[Mercy Seat]

Boomer and Firrito to present North jumpers FWIW.

The human buritto

 

[Changa10]

Or Wiz and Curtin?

Or, Harley & Curtin?

 

[toomanysquibs]

Yeah, I’m told each club is told that they must take the 5 minutes to make their selection by the AFL so that all the AFL associated media can run their clips and interviews with each selection. It’s why you get shots of a whole bunch of staff just staring at each other or the screens.
Concocted bullshit.

It's like the TV coverage for all AFL productions is permanently stuck on channel Fonzie.

There is zero interest in just letting something happen, more a weird desire to over produce everything with horse poop.

 

[toomanysquibs]

I assume you're thinking McKercher – Harvey, Curtin – Firrito?

Curtin to cop a dirty elbow as Firrito hands over the jumper


If we land Dursma or the Wiz it's happy days either way!

 

[Billyc]

If you were GWS would you take Eagles or the Beggars 2024 first rounder?

Eagles, but it's not an easy choice.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Boomer and Firrito to present North jumpers FWIW.

Firrito?

This is meant to be where club greats hand over the jumper.

If that’s not a window into how shit North have been for the last two decades I don’t know what is.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Remember the old days of the draft? Everyone sitting around tables in the same room. Call the number out and move on. Good days

"Player number 61756 - Lance Franklin, Perth Football Club"

Now they think they're the NFL

Great days. On a Saturday - all done and dusted in an hour or two…

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Eagles, but it's not an easy choice.

Reckon North would chuck one of their handout picks in along with the F1.

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Great movie, even better draft...

 

[Platten44]

Or Wiz and Curtin?

North don’t have enough champions to match them by player type to who they draft. Whoever gets their jumper from Firrito will have no idea who he is.

Not sure why any part of you would base what you want Hawthorn to do on how people you don't know on an internet forum might react.

Not sure why any part of you thought I was being serious.

 

[Platten44]

Firrito?

If that’s not a window into how s**t North have been for the last two decades I don’t know what is.

If we announce Josh Thurgood as our presenter that locks in the Wizard for number 33.

Leave tonight with Watson, McCabe & Dear and I'm going to be very happy

 

[Glenhope]

We started with pick 3 in the draft. Then the AFL gave North another pick so we went down to pick 4.

Today it shows the suns with pick 3 and we are down to 5th. What happened?

Our Pick will likely end up Pick 5 as it is assumed Walter (GCS Academy player) will be bid on in the first few picks.

Dear Watson McCabe,

Giving me these vibes...

 

[cryptor]

Leave tonight with Watson, McCabe & Dear and I'm going to be very happy

You're going to have to wait another 24 hours for Dear unless a wildly early bid comes in.

Does anyone know what time pick 1 will be announced tonight? Coverage starts at 7 but is that when the picks start as well or is there a big preamble?

 

[2008wasoverDEW!]

Last preseason some track watchers were in awe when they saw what a dynamic little short kid was doing amongst our group.
So imagine this kid's development potential when put in an AFL system full-time.

Bring on The Wiz!
