We will probably take Dodson for the ruck stocks

If Dodson's still there we have to. I know we need mids but a Whitlock will also be tempting if one's available

 

[Parkysp]

Think tigers can take risks with this draft haul. They will be ordinary again but wouldn’t be surprised if they shoot up the ladder in 4 to 5 years. They also can attract talent which we struggle with.

Attracting talent they can but I'd give a penny for the thoughts of Tim Taranto tonight. Is that really why he went to Richmond? Baby sitting kids through the next 4 years...and the resulting 20k less crowds.

Who are Sydney bidding on now?

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Can’t wait for the “points system sucks” commentary after two months of Shut Up Aints. Nice to see no club bid, yet again.

 

[sufficientintent]

8/25 thus far, so, 1/3 picks have been Tigers.

And they’ve nailed every single one of them tbh

 

[billings2paddy]

Totally agree Yawkey, we need high quality players all over the ground.

Fremantle have a ridiculous midfield and didnt even make the finals this year. It's not the only area of the ground where you need quality.

Our defence is our strength
Our midfield is our weakness
We need midfield talent
Reid, Allan, Lindsay

 

[ThomasR]

Lions will still have 46, 47, 49, 58, 65, 67 after matching Marshall - can imagine they are trying to trade 43 and 44 before using them to match

 

[malevu]

I get the mid disappointment, absolutely. But I’ve always been a bit bigger on this guy than others. I like the fact that he also played well at vfl level. Keeps playing well whenever wherever. Super competitive and leadership, both of those two of my biggest wants.

A few quick comments from Cal that may have slipped by some while they were busy melting.
He said Travaglia was probably the most bankable player in the draft, a likely 200 gamer and a possible future Captain.
Yet some choose to moan about not picking a mid when the premium-mid party was over and we never had a ticket to get in anyway.

 

[kick it lace out]

Doubt we will be trading our future first when they publicly let it be known we are going after Finn Callaghan knowing he is off contract next year so we will need every first round pick we can get.

Agree. With both Finn Callahan and LDU out of contract next year, we’re going to need a first rounder (at least) if we’re to get one of these over the line.

 

[Leap of Faith]

Indeed we do need an A grade mid, do you see any on the board ?.

Impossible to say who will be an A grade mid. But you give yourself a chance of getting one if you actually pick a midfielder rather than a half back.

Expecting Tigers to go Dodson

 

[Gavinmitchell11]

Tigers have managed to snag a potential gun on every line.

Pretty crazy they get that Jonty fella at 14 who they could have got much later and get Trainor/Armstrong in the 20’s who have been top 10 prospects at stages. They were always gonna have a good night.

Surely we don’t take a Whitlock.

Expecting Tigers to go Dodson

Nooooooo

 

[sauce_head]

I was watching BJ footage.

Didn't realise the replay was on, otherwise I'd have watched that.

Yea that was the best part of the night! Such a great team. Good education for my young son!

 

[Joffaboy]

You can keep sooking about people sooking. I am just pointing out the obvious, massive imbalances in the list. Did nothing to improve that tonight.

I rate Schoey, I rate Hastie. Both are really going to struggle now. Maybe one day we will turn a half back into a decent mid, but I won't hold my breath.

I rate Shoey and Hastie as well, but they need to compete to get into the firsts. Hastie is a pick 24, and Shoenmaker is a pick 62. If they make it from there it is a very good outcome.

Garcia. Windy, Pou, Wilson have to compete with Macrae, Steele, Clark, Jones, Dow, Carroll etc.

Also you are totally incorrect, there is no 'massive imbalance' that is a ridiculously hysteric statement. You have see a couple of highlight reels and you have set out all of Travs career. The arrogance of this is astounding. Would put Lyons, Dalrymple and SoS's knowledge over your bleating any day.

Will enjoy linking this thread in a couple of years.

Can someone explain to me how a kid can move from Brisbane three years ago, play for the Sandy dragons, and stay part of the Lions academy? Wtf

 

[Joffaboy]

What part of that trollop addresses anything I said.

Feel free to point out all the posts shit canning TT.

Can you speak English, trollop OMG

 

[Sainter93]

aren’t we drafting that Harry Boyd?

Maybe pick 88?

 

[akaifu]

Maybe pick 88?

Rookie draft on Friday I reckon

 

[projectv]

aren’t we drafting that Harry Boyd?

Would be with a token pick tomorrow, if we did. Or pre-season sign on.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Moraes, Shanahan, Dodson, Whitlocks. A bit still out there.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Yep hope not

 

[akaifu]

Richmond guy on the phone. I wonder which club? Jack Whitlock would be worth a F1 potentially

Edit: North Melbourne

Maybe their F1 for 27&28 and they get Whitlock x2 or Shanahan
