Opinion 2024 AFL Draft - Nights 1 & 2, from 7pm AEST

[RUNVS]

This draft has Grand Final vibes …

A similar feeling too.

 

[anotherletdown]

I'm out.

Armstrong, both Whitlocks and Shanahan sitting there and we go elsewhere. Honestly, just raffle the picks, we're useless. FMD

 

[RUNVS]

If I hear from Kinnear one more time that, “we didn’t rate this year’s talls” I’ll jump off a f*cking bridge!

Yep. Our tall defence is crap, really crap and that is the recruiters fault.

 

[Membling]

Should have done the trade the tigers just did.

Smart by tigers there

 

[Superstar swan]

This draft has Grand Final vibes …

The grand final was better

 

[BloodySwan]

No doubt could be anything but surely and I mean surely he’s there at our third pick

You take who you think is the best player available, not what Twomey says on his ranking

 

[Johnboi]

Absolutely disgrace....this club never fails to disappoint on draft night....we waited nearly 3 hours for that drafting strategy....FAIL

 

[RUNVS]

Today's drafting just shows the Swans have no idea why we lost in 2022 and 2024.

 

[FreeAgent1]

For me it’s the mix. We have no KPP coming through academy, we can’t trade for them as we have no TPP and we need them for horses game plan and refuse to draft them…..

So I guess amartey will save us…. I think Richmond are a better chance to win the flag in 2025

 

[Ticky009]

I am suddenly feeling so glad I haven’t got emotionally involved in any of these players or had any expectation this year

Its a good place, mate. Sit back and enjoy the melts

 

[LukeParkerno1]

People need to calm down here.

Our drafting isn't that bad, personally I am backing in the club on this one.

We do need more x-factor up forward, the league in general is going on that direction instead of talls (Plus still have McDonald, Amartey and McLean developing).

You are generous our first round actual drafting has been putrid! Bar the academy ones can you name a great one lately?

 

[Olian]

Not bad bolted 60 odd places

He was predicted to go at 30. He went at 26. 4 places. The melting on here is nonsensical.

Look at some of the Tigers reaches.

 

[kangle4]

Maybe give the kid a chance before writing him off

 

[BloodySwan]

crazy that we are drafting players who weren't even born when we won in '05

 

[RilesMacca]

Swans havent posted the Bowman pick yet, probs cant find a photo of him lol

 

[Wheresbuddy]

I just feel like the Swans have gone out of their way to p*ss us off since the first bounce of GF day. Next will be to let Chad go for a sausage roll with no sauce.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I'm out.

Armstrong, both Whitlocks and Shanahan sitting there and we go elsewhere. Honestly, just raffle the picks, we're useless. FMD

At least it would make sense even if they fail.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

He’s the best available? Pigs fly and I’m the next Victoria secret model!

No issue taking him but trade down and do it

 

[Donza]

This thread is gold. Keep going people. I'm loving this

I don't get why people melt so much over draft picks?

It's literally a lottery in 72.3% of times.

 

[RUNVS]

Maybe give the kid a chance before writing him off

It isn't who he is, but rather the position he plays. We don't really need a medium sized forward, but we really need a tall forward, tall defender or inside mid.

We do need more x-factor up forward, the league in general is going on that direction instead of talls (Plus still have McDonald, Amartey and McLean developing).

People were adamant all year that 3 tall forwards don't work yet draft picks that suggest we're moving away from that are the end of the world? It's strange.

Granted, I'll admit I haven't followed much at all.

 

[Donza]

PTSD Final vibes I guess

 

[MightyBloods]

I reckon it’s ok - a bloke who hasn’t been on the park much due to a back injury, but the Swans evidently see untapped ability.

I actually find it an exciting pick.

Far more exciting than a tall none of the other clubs rate.

Reminds me when we plucked a kid out of nowhere from SA called Micky O.

 

[RUNVS]

It's literally a lottery in 72.3% of times.

It isn't though. Smart recruiting wins premierships.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

North Melbourne just traded out their F1 (i.e, a top 4 pick) for Matt Whitlock ?!?!?!
