Anything happened yet?

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Are we getting a game day thread for today, or will the action be on here?

 

[projectv]

Anything happened yet?

Twomey still wanking over his mock draft.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Surely by 7:30 at the latest they'll kick this ****in show off.

 

[_Maximus_12]

There might be a few of us lamenting not having an earlier pick to nab a top end mid but reality is we’re going to add some seriously good young talent tonight and continue to build.
Hopefully they continue the trajectory of our early picks in years gone by and impact at senior level next year.

 

[GehrigGOAT]

if we don’t get one of these elite mids I’ll be salty

Just Richmond w***ery

 

[Hayes4PM]

Cringe...

 

[Kildonan]

When do they start, this is bullshit

 

[Circus]

The only guarantee tonight is that quite a few of you will need to watch wearing incontinence pants, both the "ecstatic" and disappointed prophets!

 

[Coconut_twirl]

When do they start, this is bullshit

They need more time to explain things.

 

[Plugger35]

Fox are padding this coverage out as much as Ch7 pad out their Brownlow coverage.

 

[bakes10]

Just wait till Richmond go on the clock, they already know who they’ll select but they’ll be made to wait the full 5 minutes so Fox can talk crap .

 

[L_W_P]

if we don’t get one of these elite mids I’ll be salty

You'll get the halfback flanker (Travaglia) and the bloke nobody's talked about at all for our picks (Hotton) and you'll like it mister!!

it never starts at the said time. give 30 mins for absolute horse shit talk.

 

[SssssssRrrrrrrrr]

Did you guys hear what they said about pick swaps?
I only just heard the end of it and they said something about pick 32

 

[Verdun66]

Glad I rushed home for the start of this extravaganza. More waffling……

 

[BrutThough]

Bombers swap picks 28 and 58 (from the Lions) to St Kilda for picks 32 and 47.

7.30

Pick 58 for NGA bids

Thanks mate!
That’s epic

 

[ScrappyDo]

He is 187cm ..... even if you drafted him as a backline interceptor that ain't tall .... he is very skinny as well

Someone pointed out earlier that in reality at AFL level he likely becomes a defender who covers the smaller forwards ... he is not big enough for key position and I don't think he is tall enough for that true interceptor role

He won't become a mid because there will always be players that are better than him in that position

He would be our new Webster or at worst our new Paton

So do use a top 10 pick on that type of player?

Rigid focus on the player isn't the right view point. Take the group of Trav, Hastie, Ari and Hoff and think about how that looks.

6 mins

jesus
itll feel like 60

Bombers swap picks 28 and 58 (from the Lions) to St Kilda for picks 32 and 47.

That's a great trade for us, especially considering 47 could well be eaten up by a bid
