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.

 

[H00t]

Wiz to weave a spell over teams from round 1 next year.

as a good comparison for Curtin, and now they have both.

Absolutely stoked to have the Wizard in brown and gold

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

GWS traded 8 and 17 for 11, 15 and F2
Surely they could have got a better deal than that

Must not have wanted him with our F1, but that was better

 

[Yardie]

GWS traded 8 and 17 for 11, 15 and F2
Surely they could have got a better deal than that

You'd think 17 and F2 not needed

 

[Judd2Sewell]

No details. Just swapped on screen.

MM asleep at the wheel?

Whoever is running the updates for the night is asleep at the wheel

 

[Billyc]

Curtin looked displeased. Reckon he thought Eagles would get that pick

 

[RoughysMullet]

GWS traded 8 and 17 for 11, 15 and F2

That’s an awful deal for GWS

 

[KermitJagger]

The deals always end up being worse than people think. Unless you're Geelong and you're dealing with Gold Coast, any gains from pick swaps are going to be modest at best.

GWS trading strategy hasn’t made sense for a very long time.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Crows need mids, so their board will be melting that he's not a pure mid.

 

[VandoHawk]

Crikey I saw bid pending and thought Geelong had bid on McCabe lol

 

[Baz_hawk]

Heard a rumour we would look to trade up to grab O'Sullivan if he was available later on in the first round. Not sure how reliable they are so grain of salt.

 

[Scrads]

GWS traded 8 and 17 for 11, 15 and F2

Giants might have been tempted by the fact that this deal still maintained a presence high in this draft as a reason to take this over other deals.

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

Absolute pennies on the dollar. Still dumbfounded this got through.

 

[Iceman!]

Two top 10 picks added and this fox flog is talking about Gold Coast being forced 'to pay up' and it is a lot to give up... Didn't give up anything inside the top 30 for those players. What a dumb ass

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It's been the plan from a long way out, but other clubs might have better offers to get it done.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Crows need mids, so their board will be melting that he's not a pure mid.

I reckon they're guaranteed a decent one at worst with their next selection.


BTW, I've always got a bone to pick with whoever picks music for TV shows and events. How does 'I'll be single soon' have anything to do with 18 year olds being drafted to the AFL?

Wait.. if you think about it, maybe it does.

Ahh ok, well at least i wasn't fed complete bullshit then

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Essendon traded with Geelong. WOW

 

[VandoHawk]

Essendon give up pick 31 to move up 1 spot

 

[cs61]

Essendon traded up one spot for pick 31.

 

[Changa10]

What was the deal? AFL secretive as usual

Adelaide receives picks No.8 and 17, while the Giants get picks No.11, No.15 and a future second-rounder.

 

[theiaofseed]

GWS traded 8 and 17 for 11, 15 and F2
Surely they could have got a better deal than that

It was the top 6 in this draft that held value,

 

[Gohawks16]

Looks like the Hawks won't be trading to get another pick unless Cats trade this pick with us.

 

[kenneje]

Caddy and Essendon. A match made in heaven.
