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

[JGreezy]

Wouldn't the obvious thing be that we are going to pick up a couple of the guys who are training with us?

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

BF is such a joy. The club does exactly what the President, the list manager and the recruitment manager have said for literally months - we’ll take 5 picks and 2 inside 3 (4) - and people chuck a tantie because it’s spoiled the TV

Hilarious

unranked players getting selected before players ranked in the 20's

Bit in that I reckon

 

[New_Roo]

What the hell??? Trade makes no sense.

Cause it does... we have taken 5 and so want to fill the remaining two with a delisted and a rookie

Sooo... any obvious list reasons why we'd do this? Need spots for SSP train-on options?

Contract length is shorter for rookie draft picks. We have already taken on 5 X 3 year deals

 

[My Left Foote]

Can anyone put any kind of positive spin on what we just did?

We weren't going to use that pick so we got something for it.

 

[leighlee13]

Rookie draft tomorrow ?

Yes at 3 pm

 

[The Nostradamus]

Could have got ZZ

No pass and take 2 rookie picks instead ffs

And we look after the warchest….

 

[rickety]

Why didn't Brady call the saints.

They're scared to pick up the phone .... sure, the ringing stops, but then the voices start

 

[domiroo]

Honestly wtf was that .

 

[New_Roo]

I'm aghast at that call. Gave it away for peanuts. We could have use it in a bundle last night to get higher up the order.

You are hardly going to get much other than that!

The acurate one we're back on

WTF !!

 

[FlyHigh18]

“Adelaide’s bombshell move up”
“High drama”
“Shock of the night”

I get Sarah Olle is paid to try and create this energy, but seriously, fk off with the bombshell move talk. Everyone knew GWS was going to trade it.

Edit: everyone bar Chad

 

[Merlin007]

People do realise if we take someone in the main draft it’s a 3 year contract? Or one year if we take rookies, giving more flexibility to the list?

Just sayin, for those who are looking for a cat to kick

 

[Lomas]

Honestly wtf was that .

A master stroke. Our preferred player will still be there at 87 and we pick up a sweet future pick?

 

[TurnoverMerchant]

Watch gws do a better trade with a worse pick

I’d take dodo just to only negotiate instead of Rawlings

While you’re at it, why don’t you go and support the dons?

 

[trooroo4life]

Sellers, Downie and Davis the only ones?

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

I'd rather sit through a 250 point loss to Port than listen to an hour and a half of Sarah Jones and Mick Ablett fight it out for the "who knows less about their job" award

 

[shinboner magic]

Poort have trade their f4 for a second time

 

[Supa_Nova]

Contract lengthen is shorter for rookie draft picks. We have already taken on 5 X 3 year deals

And other clubs know it hence why GWS pick was worth more despite being later.

Saints the dummies for not offering that to us for our pick instead, or less

 

[kool kangas]

By trading and not passing Brady and the rest dont have to go home to their partners to early...

2 year contract for players after pick 20

I’d rather ZZ on 2 years

Than a rookie pick on 1

That Arie bloke?

 

[buttsauce]

Don’t we have extra rookie spots? Why wouldn’t you just take a stab at a project player at 48
