Wells smiling to the media as always.

 

[PeasFC]

Which midfielder picked from 50 onwards is likely to have an immediate impact next season?

davis maybe

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Think he was earlier

Kelly is at the back of the room

They both were there.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Because it's the saints.

Actually just checked their thread and it sounds like they expected him to get to the rookie draft and ran out of list spots?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

It was a draft period where everyone but North won

The only club in history to lose a draft

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Which midfielder picked from 50 onwards is likely to have an immediate impact next season?

Davidson 100 %. But I get your point.

 

[Play it Sam]

Pick 69? Nice.

I hope he can play because BT is going to piiss off everyone struggling with pronunciation.

 

[Larry Donohue]

4 unheard of future cats champs
Outstanding drafting
Now for rookies
My only disappointment is Rohan departing 2 games short of father son/daughter eligibility

I think when st kilda traded in to take their last pick (which was good to be fair) they must have expected Hoffman and peckett to get to cat b didn't anticipate the bid.

 

[foxdog50]

I would assume we fill them all and would be nice if it least one was mature age.

So i am correct? We have 3 Rookie spots?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Probably at our end of the draft the only ones worth considering were Boxshall and the kid from Sandy Dragons that went late. Time will tell whether they amount to anything.

It would have helped if we could have traded into the 30s where the really good talls went.
I really like Hoffman and molier late I just wish we had traded a future 2nd for gerryn etc.

 

[year of the cat]

Like the Hoffman selection. Makes up for losing out on Jaques and Clarke.

Not sure about the others. Polkinghorne has terrific hands so something to work with there.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So i am correct? We have 3 Rookie spots?

Yes.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Agreed.

Thought we would add an outside mid though with a late pick.

I'd keep an eye on where they deploy Hoff

 

[Play it Sam]

I didn't think he'd get picked at all but good on him.
We sure have gone for the injury prone high upside players this year they could all be busts like our late 2021 picks or could be humphries like.

Or please the Footy Gods, turn out like the most famous pre injured No 7 pick.
How would that be?

 

[cats_09]

Since someone asked about Mitch earlier - wonder if he's getting ready for his next move after calling for on his playing days

 

[PeasFC]

Finally got a long kicking left flooter. welcome keighton

 

[Play it Sam]

I think we'll play Hoffman on the wing if that counts

One f

Gerreyn was a missed opportunity. Just had a feeling our first was a few picks away from the sweet spot. Posted that earlier. We would have got him if we hadn’t traded down from 35 with the Smith trade.

Oh man I wish I was a fly on the wall in the room with Ross The Boss when that bid came

 

[foxdog50]

Us tomorrow please

As much as it be good to recruit Brew... aim not sure if he could or get a game on our list as I can't see us playing him as a genuine midfielder! Even though we do have a weak ish midfield

 

[tielgaz]

Pity gerryn went just before our pick same with nicholls.

Would not have picked him anyway as he didnt fit the profile of never heard of them, not ranked, and no footage.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

One f

And two Ns apparently

Must be Swiss German spelling

I just want that level of determination setting the standard

So it was him.
