Review 2023 National Draft Review Thread II [McKercher, Z.Duursma, Goad, W.Dawson, Hardeman, Maley]

[Flawed Genius]

Galaxy brain shit

I reckon the play for #12 is part of a wider play for #8 to grab a sliding Curtin

NM trade #17 & #18 to SYD for #12

#1 Reid WCE
#2 Walter GCS
#3 McKercher NM
#4 Duursma NM
#5 Watson HAW
#6 Sanders WBD
#7 Read GCS
#8 Leake MELB
#9 Caddy GWS

NM trade #12 (now #14) & #15 (now #17) to Geelong for #8 (now #10)

#10 Curtin NM

Take Moir at #57 or whatever it comes into.

#3 McKercher
#4 Duursma
#10 Curtin
#57 Moir

and he's inaccurate in front of goals.

Any team that drafts Curtin and plays him in a role where he's ever 'in front of goals' is doing it wrong.

It's concrete evidence we haven't broken the bad news to him.

People keep asking me if i'll melt when we don't draft Curtin or Watson. So let me ask you... will you melt on draft night if his name is called at 2 or 3?

That pick 1 trade thread on the Drafts board is unhinged. Some interesting WC posters.

Or, for some real galaxy brain, just try to trade those three first rounders for Geelongs pick.

Nup, we got the top of R1 right last year.

Man it's definitely not easy deciding between Kerch/Duurs/Curtin/Watson/Sanders in particular. They all have serious talent.

I disagree strongly with people acting like McKercher/Duursma are a class above Curtin/Watson/Sanders, and that it would therefore be a 'reach' to draft any of them ahead at 2/3.

No, because I like Curtin but I'll be melting at Alastair Clarkson for texting me the wrong info.

Maybe too many draft picks vs list spots for Geelong if they get three picks in? I don't know man, I'm trying to be creative and you're harshing my buzz.

[kool kangas]

Didn't get a single like when I posted this a month ago but now the Swans have said we're keen on their pick 12. I'm not saying I'm Nostradamus but I did predict this and I also want Watto (not really).

You wouldn't want to be, seeing as he is still banned...

They might have to given how one sided he is

Some notable 'player comparisons' in Sheehan's list;

• Dan Curtin - Steven May
• Lance Collard - Charlie Cameron
• Zane Duursma - Isaac Heeney
• James Leake - Callum Mills
• Colby McKercher - Zac Merrett
• Connor O'Sullivan - Sam Taylor
• Harley Reid - Dustin Martin
• Ryley Sanders - Andrew Brayshaw
• Nick Watson - Shai Bolton
• Darcy Wilson - Sam Walsh

To be honest, picks 17 and 18 for 12 is a terrible deal (assuming that’s what it is and no other picks are involved). Would be interesting to know who we would be targeting to make it worthwhile

Not that it changes much but after bids it will likely be 22 and 23 for 15.

 

[JGreezy]

This definitely matters and I am 1000% taking it seriously.

With today's release of the AFL fixtures for 2024, AFL Draft prospect and all around champion human Dan Curtin has 'liked' North Melbourne's instagram post with our fixture;

However, the same cannot be said for Hawthorn, whose fixture post was not liked by Curtin;

Nor the Melbourne Demons, who similarly were not blessed with the Curtin 'like';

West Coast have not posted their fixture on their instagram page yet because they have probably the crappest social/digital media team in the entire AFL.



Folks, this is concrete evidence we are getting Dan Curtin. It's a done deal.

How could you not like our announcement video, though?

I don’t get why some people bother working that out? It’s still the same in terms of live picks. Those academy picks were never in the open market

yeah i noticed, perhaps we could pick up one of Dawson or The Zohan with our 3rd rounder, and why rolling 2 teens picks up a possibility.....oh the possibilities of live trading!

I can see it both ways. If they were on the open market that is where our picks are falling. But i get your point.

I said it from a long way out that I’d be happy with any two of that lot. Still the case today. Some good ****in talent there

It’s genuinely cooked. I haven’t been in there for weeks and I’ll never go back
