Yeah I didn't mean to denigrate him at all, I like what he brings. But they've got 3 or 4 big names and not much else.

That could get worse if Butters is tempted by the huge offers he will no doubt receive

Butters going would be a humongous dent in their flag chase. And given there’s already a bit of talk about it, it seems very possible

 

[GROTTO]

The big Vic Clubs will come for him hard.

Port having a disastrous 2025, could see him depart, especially if Kenny is sacked.

IIRC Butters is out of contract end of next year?

What has happened today? Why so many posters with a Day Off?

Assuming you are talking about Hamish talking on Gettable this morning, was anyone else a little surprised he also talked up Tauru as a top 3-4 option (IIRC). Just thought that was a little strange and wondering if any hidden messaging behind it

Imagine the melts on here if we picked Tauru pick 4.
Bigfooty servers would implode.

 

[Peter Doherty]

How many people outside of Adelaide fans know that? Let alone who he is!

Ask all the Vic kids in the Coates Talent league currently who is Van Berlo, how many of them are gonna be oh former Adelaide crows captain!

Draper knows.

 

[GROTTO]

One hour to go, buckle up for the ride.

 

[Scorpus]

I hope we see a mistake this year. Wrong player getting called out at pick 1 or whatever so they have to redo it

 

[WAG]

And the riveting commentary on the sidelines not to mention the parents excitement and in some cases tears.

I'm excited to see who will win the 'Tanner Bruhn award' for saddest draft reaction.

I will make it my mission to break Bigfooty tonight.

[Thunderstruck]

Thought I'd better pop up my top 20 power ranks for tonight. Will do the remaining 20 tomorrow. It is so incredibly even and deep this draft.

It could happen

Might be the best chance young Harry gets to be drafted by an AFL club.

 

[Vader]

Is it correct that we would have already committed to putting Keane (or someone else) on the senior list?

So even if we did pay out Burgess, we would only have a rookie spot free and not main list spot?

Yes, I believe so.

What has happened today? Why so many posters with a Day Off?

There was a disagreement over which strapping young man was the best, Bicks and Froggy were going hammer and tongs.

Was a sight to behold.

 

[DJ75]

The latest mock draft suggests that Dodson won't be picked in the top 30.

I said it before and I'll say it again, our decision to handcuff ourselves before the draft even starts by loading our list is just dumb. We could have been in the position to trade some future picks and pick up Dodson.
Would it be better for our future premiership chances to have Burgess on the list in 2025 or Dodson?

For me it's a huge fail.

On the other hand, if we grab Draper or Smith, then pull a surprise and trade in for Dodson, going back on our promise to rookie Burgess, I would consider our off season to be exceptional.

Jack Ough surely can't be a real name.

Sadly it's pronounced "ow"

 

[pjcrows]

I'm looking forward to Fox Footy pretending they are the NFL by trying too hard, ultimately making it look like a late 80's outback sheep auction.

Extremely underrated and essentially for mine, the forgotten man.

 

[Carn The Texan]

Just logging on to find out that half the board has been suspended BEFORE the draft has even started. Did everyone's post draft melt appear in some sort of Minority Report style risk assessment? Are we that predictable as a club and as a supporter base?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

I think the same , gets overlooked as academy tied

Dominated the national champs then the CTL granny

Wouldn’t have had him too far off the larke medal actually , he wasn’t far off Lombard

Seems like Levi Ashcroft impressed Hamish in their interview today

 

[BunjiMC]

The more I see our logo the more I like it. Looks good compared to many others.

I know this post is tongue in cheek but I don’t see why we’d bid on Ashcroft. We won’t benefit from late picks being moved up. Yes it’d be benefitting Brisbane but it’d be disadvantaging several other clubs.
