Ok to be clear - so I joined this forum to follow the men’s team when there was no women’s comp. I don’t want to see women’s comp stuff in this forum. Sorry.
I think women’s fans should start a separate forum.
Eg I follow an nba team forum and don’t have to wade through any wnba content there. Grumpy cloud man etc

Not wanting to see the women's stuff is just bizarre, you dont have to participate in any discussion on it if you dont want. Does the act of seeing AFLW threads annoy you?
Not sure the article below has been posted in here, but it shows how little value our F1 picks had yesterday. Clubs did not want to trade out, only move around. WC put their F1 on the table for Curtin and left it there for Caddy, and were knocked back by GWS and Geelong despite the WC pick probably being pick 1 next year.

'We wanted him, so why not?': Inside the trades that shaped the first round of the AFL Draft
As soon as highly-touted West Australian Daniel Curtin started to slide, the phones started to ring, creating a domino effect on draft night. Jasper Chellappah takes a look inside the trades that shaped a wild first round of the 2023 AFL Draft.
It’s just irrelevant content. Why don’t they do it in nba forums then ?
Anyway not a big deal I’ll tap out.

We did our best to hide him!

OK, time to get this thread back on track.
Some people didn't like the thread title? You're entitled to your opinions, but they don't belong in this thread anymore. this is the line in the sand. Any more get posted and they're deleted, regardless of what side you take. Repeat offenders get banned.
As a compromise, I've updated the title to include a play on words to us not getting a pick in the draft until late while retaining the acknowledgement of who's being drafted. If you're also offended by tardiness you can get in the bin.
There are more than enough hills to die on in this thread. Enjoy your brand new toys.

I intend to instantly fall in love with each one, and play with them until they break.
I'm not upset if we miss out on Edwards, we have a number of rucks on our list and Darcy and Jackson still have 8+ years ahead of them as a duo anyway. Would be strange if the Eagles picked him up after picking up that other ruckman with an earlyish pick last year. Would mean they haven't got a huge amount of faith in Bailey Williams

I've enjoyed watching West Coast resist the urge to rebuild quickly and put all their hopes on one fella who will go home in 3 years.

Hey Tonga Bob, what are you gonna turn off tonight to stop the Big Footy servers crashing again?
Is the entire Carlton board an option?
Is the entire Carlton board an option?
I was thinking today, would the eagles still have kept pick 1 if they knew that Curtin and Collard would be gone?
According to this, not only did they try to trade their future pick for Curtin, they also offered it to Geelong for Nate Caddy.

Melbourne apparently offered picks 6 and 11 for 1 in the weeks leading up to the draft. I am sure that the Eagles could have moved 23 into a late first as part of the deal (even getting North involved). They could very easily have all of Curtin, Caddy and Collard and kept their future first rounder.
I think they were seriously banking on picking up Curtin and Reid, with Caddy as a failsafe and Collard as a consolation prize. If they'd known they were missing out on all of the rest they would have seriously rethought keeping 1, IMO
Wish every pick was like the Phoenix Gothard pick. Actual genuine emotion.
Turn them off completely please and thank you.
