Armstrong is a nervous wreck

Could well explain the bad interview rumours.

 

[Mich0]

Do we have a F2 we can use to trade back in?

 

[Duke of Windso]

Every mock draft before this week: "Melbourne need a key forward, they'll either take Armstrong at 5 or maybe be able to steal him at 9"

November 20: "With pick 23, Richmond select Harry Armstrong"

 

[TheBoss]

Why does the media think we need a key forward?

Have they not seen Petty and Turner play?!

 

[The Dr]

I've got a great amount of confidence with Langford but only 50-50 on Lindsay.

I say this having watched a few highlights videos

Funny how low Armstrong went considering early phantom draft articles had Armstrong to Melbourne 'because we are screaming out for a forward'. I'm sure Armstrong will be a player but certainly no where near top 5.

Lindsay is about as safe as it gets imo. Only injury makes him a bust.

 

[Bluelegs]

Richmond were clearly trying/hoping for us to take Allan. They passed on him twice after saying they were keen on him. They wanted Lindsay for sure.

 

[The Dr]

Wow that last trade from North is super risky

Welcome to the last fun game of footy you'll every play you stupid bastards

 

[Andy_Mac]

That is a dream result for us.

Couldn't have picked better based on who was available.

Lindsay looks like a super smart footballer. Love the way he calls the plays almost like a PG in basketball

 

[Topkent]

You also said we are a flag chance this year so.....

These guys have no accountability unlike the #ARG

Hes more intense than people give him credit for, enjoys contact, loves to tackle and will put his head over the ball.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Cant wait to see if Lindsay can win a big contested ball vs Maynard in a big final dead rubber for 12th spot.

 

[Demon 16]

Thats exactly the last thing you want to hear about a KPF. If youre not happy to tell people how great you are you are never going to make it.

Big Ben Brown says h…

wait

Lindsay looks a mile above Tholstrup in his videos

Tigers took the pi$$. Few years of pain ahead but geez they nabbed some ripping kids.

Kangas wtf!? And Saints too. How did these 2 not make a trade? Saints should have gone hard for pick 2 and grabbed a gun mid and Kangas could have grabbed Tauru and had change. Saints desperately in need for mids and Kangas have far too many.

Also how dark did the Reid family look to be going to Freo!! Lol. He'll be asking for a trade asap. Hiw family looked very dark.

Loved the melts by Saints, Dogs, Kangas and Port fans tonight. All in all a great night

They didn't even grab the best brother lol. Someone will get fired if they have another poor year next year. Could end up being an absolute disaster trade. Tigers arguably had the best trade night ever. Quite possibly gets two top 4 picks next year too lol. Premiership list in 2 drafts.

He just looks driven. That's not something you teach. You watch his body language and he has an intensity that will take him places.

It's like an early Christmas present.

God bless Norf

 

[Andy_Mac]

Jesus. That's not how do'en deals works.

 

[Mich0]

Surely we take a small forward with our pick 83 (or whatever it is now).

Or even use a F3rd to try get back up into a pick in the 40s if we are lucky
