Don't mind Berry. He's not my main preference, but can understand that we have a need for players like him.

Though ONLY if it's a mid at 5, not Tauru. Coming away from this draft with no mids would be a horrendous result.

 

[SugarHealey]

Read there’s a late push by clubs trying to get up for Berry with Freo trying to jump Port for him.

I think he's gunna be a goodin.

And i see him in RednBlue playing the Zorko role, running the ball or picking players out in corridor with precision kicks. And running the ball forward to hit-up inside F50's.

Shame we flogged it off with our 50 other picks.

What was Tim Lamb thinking??????????????

 

[Duke of Windso]

The coverage is from 7:00. Does anyone know when the picks will actually start?

Bloke needs some negotiating game. At least keep pick 53 or whatever it was for our 3rd pick for tonight.

Surely giving up only 5 picks instead of 6 wouldn’t have broken the deal.

I was thinking a Serong type role but yes another good anology.

3:30am

56 left minutes for a sympathy vote for Tauru. Come on, you have the chance to use it as the ultimate always right gang call if he turns out to be a gun player

AFL coverage is legitimately nauseating these days.

I think we have to run the footy more thru the corridor picking off angled kicks, especially from the centreline... opening up the whole F50 arc.

With our mobile talls, JvR and Turner able to spread into open positions to receive. Petty staying deep for the long kick. This will allow our small players able to run havoc.

What small players? Chandler and a perpetually suspended Pickett?

From memory, last year they cracked on without too much rubbish.

I reckon pick 1 won’t be too long after 7:30pm.

Have fun, friends x

Can't wait until tomorrow when the presenter attempts Jack Ough's name

Jack Oog?

 

[Scythe94]

Jack Oog?

Think that's how Twomey pronounced it earlier

 

[TheBoss]

I hope the club makes some divisive picks tonight so the board can have some robust discourse about whether the kid is a dud or stud to tide us over until round 1

 

[Scythe94]
