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.

Clarko you dog

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Ashton Moir is the kind of gamble I want us to take.

Day 2

 

[number23]

They are for dear tomorrow

If we are at the end tomorrow and no one has picked Ethan Phillips before Dear, I would pick Phillips in the ND to prevent North from picking him in the rookie draft since they had a shot at McCabe (although they have Pick 57 ).

 

[Leather Poisoning]

It's obvious North were going to bid on McCabe.

Their club is screaming for KPP while they continue to blatantly ignore them and rack up more bottom 4 finishes and handouts.

This is their way they can say to their members/public 'at least we tried this time'

They pushed McKay and Goldstein out the door

And picked up a project ruck (3-5 years away from impacting) and a bunch of mids

 

[LunchboxLegend]

We’ve got a draft bolter here,,,

drafted 21. Ranked 21. Ummm?

 

[lethalselbow]

All the hatred going norf's way isn't laced with class.

Just a draft and they bid roughly where McCabe was figured to go. Who cares?

 

[GoldenHodge]

When did Carlito leave WWE to list manage for North Melbourne?

Took the words out of my mouth.

 

[peetoo]

Then select a ruck

 

[number23]

Damn you z

We still have 44 according to the draft tracker

Lost 42 and 44. 45 then became 44

Damn you Zerohanger tracker !

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Ashton Moir is the kind of gamble I want us to take.

Would be an awesome pickup. Adelaide will surely take him at 25 if they can.

Compare the pair. Swans trade for Grundy, get Green to learn under him.

North trade away any tall talent and draft a kid with no mentorship.

Can't wait for the complaints and begging in a few years when they don't make it.

Please don’t talk about it. I’m still trying not to process it.

 

[Scrads]

I couldn't care less that North bid at that pick because if it wasn't them, it would have been the Crows with the next pick anyway.

What was funny is the fox team referring to Charlie Edwards as a 'bolter' twice - including once to his face! - when their own fOx SpOrTs LaB rank was #21 and he was taken at #21

No one would be surprised if Grundy kicks ass at sydney

 

[Kuuz]

Christ alive Norf taking a millenia.

Judging by their picks, guessing they thought they'd wing their 20s picks

 

[Thorgils]

Geez McCabe speaks well, seems very intelligent.

 

[Philhawk]

Nice to see Clarko drafting another young Dawson to throw to the wolves without support.

Rip Zac.

 

[hawkinoz]

Pick 44 should be good enough to take a risk on ZZ or Joel Freijah or Ashton Moir if he slides.

Norf just picked Will Dawson, 20 picks earlier than the combined rankings

44,54,55 equals to a pick 26 but no one is going to take that deal, no club left with FS picks that we can nick

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

We still got picks 44(362 pts), 54(220), 55(207) and 73(9)
362 + 220 + 207 + 9 = 798 pts

Even without the discount, good enough to match at pick 24 (785 pts)

 

[Ned Ryerson]

The panel going dead quiet after the Redfoo jibe was pure gold. Not even a pity laugh.

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

Riley Hardeman a “penetrating player” according to Cal

ZZ for me...

There's been a few lines where they needed a laugh track to break the awkward silence

 

[Dewnior]

No one is bidding on Dear in the top 40, but I'll be pissed if the bid comes before our next pick.
