Lets do this! please dont **** this up Hamish

 

[GreyCrow]

I dont even think Hamish could go wrong here

 

[Scorpus]

Has the media pretended there's no clear standout for pick 1?

I reckon Sam Lalor has been locked in for ages

 

[GROTTO]

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.

Bidding on a player will give the Club extra time to make a decision.

I can see actually North bidding on him, in case there is any late enticing trades for Pick 2.

It's about making sides pay full odds.

If he's there and he's at the top of our list then make them pay.

Trade up to 2, spice things up it's boring when all the pundits pick the exact top 10 most years

 

[GROTTO]

Blues fans still salivating over the thought of taking Draper.

I get wanting to disadvantage Brisbane, but if they’re paying less for him it disadvantages several clubs with later picks.

From a purely competitive perspective, we’d wanna disadvantage more clubs, no?

 

[GROTTO]

Interestingly Draper had a better opening year than JHF.

 

[Crow_68]

Looking forward to only having to watch 20 mins of this drawn out rubbish. TV off after Pick 4.

Fox comparing Drapers draft year to JHF's...... Interesting

It's not really about disadvantaging Brisbane as such, it's more about having a bit of respect for the process

Is it like an unspoken Rule in club land to let Father Son players drift?

 

[GROTTO]

FMD its going to be a 7pm start.

Crows pick wont be till 7.30pm.

I think it WAS a bit like that, but clubs will accept the odd F/S gun more than the constant flood of northern academy kids who we are almost always no chance of getting.

 

[Danger in Texas]

So this'll be our 2nd top 5 pick in our history, after Thilthorpe

Weird to think about

 

[Grooster24]

Nice that other clubs get to join in Richmond's night.

 

[whattagun07]

Surely Port are going for Shanahan they desperately need some tall forward depth.

Their midfield is set for at least 5 years

Agree
They can put their midfield development on hold for at least a year or two, given how young their mid core is. The only thing that might blow it up is butters leaving but they've got him for another 2 at least.

Thunderstruck confirmed Draper but I am holding off popping the champagne for another few mins yet…

AFL site has a draft stream ...

 

[GROTTO]

Given its Fox Footy's coverage there could be the national anthem and welcome to the country still to come.

 

[pjcrows]

We'll get one of those 5 elite mids, right?

That's a good night.
