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.

BTW, anyone know why WC and North didn't have places in the PSD? Full allotment of 38 senior listed?

 

[Blackhawk42]

You wouldn't like being one of the few on the list who needs a mouthguard rather than just taking his falsies out?

Not sure how I'd look in horizontal stripes.

I’m just glad we didn’t get Caddy, I remember what a peanut his uncle was when he was captured on the umps mic calling a young Dan Howe a “ *******” that is low rent behaviour then young Nate playing in the champs lipping off with his peroxide blond hair and I’ve spoken recently to a draftee ( early 2nd round ) from last year who is still on a list ,asked him about a couple of guys we were considering including Caddy , he played against him and apparently he wasn’t highly regarded amongst his peers overrated and poor attitude. I’m glad Essendon grabbed him .

He….. he called Howe an “Essendon”?!?

damn, that is low.

That was my guess but i dont care enough to check

42 max primary list (made up of any composition of 36-38 main, 4-6 rookie Cat A) and 1-3 Cat B but overall total from primary, Rookie Cat A and B cannot exceed 44.
Hence why we can only add 1 Cat B rookie now.

 

[Dewnior]

Geelong just picked Jeka.
Will be interesting to see if they can get him motivated.

We all know why Jeka was delistrd. If anyone knows how to turn a player into a cnut it's Chris Scott

 

[Rowie6]

If Clarko and Sam could not then good luck to him ?

Saw Clarko at my work today and I had to hold back yelling at him for bidding on young Will.

Was he there carolling with Duursma and McKercher?

 

[Nugett]

Was probably there with cap in hand asking for more hand outs…

 

[Bremner20]

damn, that is low.

It was a Sp**tic that he called him that word must not get through the BF filters which is a good thing I suppose it’s poor form to call someone that for a lot of reasons .

Would like to see someone call out all the media outlets that ran with the stories about Claro spending 2 hours at Curtin's place and rating him so highly and blah blah blah.

They literally make up shit in the media for clicks and nobody calls them on it

“Alastair Clarkson, he has become a little infatuated with Dan Curtin I believe,” WA footy journalist Ryan Daniels said on Triple M.

“There’s a lot of interest from North Melbourne. I think that’s where this is heading. Dan Curtin’s going to end up at North Melbourne.”

I have to confess that I may have used terms with a similar sentiment in reference to Dan Howe myself.

Nothing to be proud of.

Go find a mirror and have a long hard look at yourself.

 

[Sixpence]

Nothing to be proud of.

You generally don't confess things you're proud of, that's why it's a confession.

You don't walk into church and say "Forgive me father, I helped an old lady across the road".

500 Hail Mary's for that. And the risk of excommunication.

Ask yourself how much you would enjoy to be judged by the behaviour of any one of your uncles. It has no relevance.

As much as I am ready to dislike Nate for being an Essendon player, the guy was professional enough to be invited to train and play VFL with Carlton. He might be a bit of a tosser, but we're talking about 18-year-old private school boys who are good at football. It pretty much comes with the territory.

I get it though when they selected Nate it felt like a fit. That maybe totally off base but it felt right. Just need weddle to run rings around him r1!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

How is this still open?

Draft is run and won. Off we go.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Ok, something to chew on from the draft.

 

[KermitJagger]

Ok, something to chew on from the draft.

Melbourne had some gall putting forward their woeful deal for Pick 1.

Interesting article either way, seems claims that we were into Watson and no other were unfounded considering we tried at multiple opportunities to leverage our future first. Crazy how much lower a future first is rated than a current pick, but it does go to show that hitting one bird with a stone is worth hitting two with one stone in the bush... or however that goes.

Reid was always the number one player in this draft. We were always looking at him. However Watson was pretty close to next on the list especially at our pick.
