Game Day 2024 Draftmatmas live celebration and melt thread

[Aristotle Pickett]

Doesn't make sense developing another key forward. We already have Gray, Fawcett, Bauer, Armstrong and Faull.
Surely Richmond trolling the board here.

You can trade one

 

[Danog]

The club clearly doesn't trust Samson Ryan very much

So why sign him for 3 years? FMD

2 I would've understood

 

[tigs2010]

What flanker is Clarke picking?

 

[panatha1908]

Finally have that tall issue sorted. Our lack of quality talls this year was unacceptable, so I’m glad we’ve taken a host of them. Even if a couple don’t work out, I’m confident a couple at least will make it

Everyone can be seen next yesr and then we can double down on the ones to play consistently from 2026 onwards, with the others traded or delisted. It will give us plenty of picks next year too.

 

[DickieKnee]

Shanahan and Whitlick not rated apparently

Maybe we see Simms as a ruck?

 

[sanaya]

hoping that sims is best friends with half the lads so we drafted, another to add to the gang

 

[tunksy]

odd selection indeed.

 

[Lsta062]

West Coast would be happy with Bo Allan and Jobe Shanahan

 

[tiger_tough]

Great pick.
Pure ruckmen are a waste.
Grab the best state league ruck tomorrow

Serious?

Were going to have most of Kosi, Faull, Armstrong, Bauer, Fawcett, Colina, Lefau, OHB, Ryan, Sims and Gray in the VFL as it is.

 

[tigersnag]

LOL Bummers. Harley Reid bid in 2025 is in.

 

[M0557]

Haha eat a bag of dicks Essendon... Eagles take Shanahan....

[Danog]

West Coast took Shanahan. That's crazy. Their tall forwards are the only good part of their list, and they add another?!

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Welcome too Tigerland.
Tom Lynch mk2.
Love this draft.
2 kps i wanted
Faull & Dim Sim.

 

[Greggy]

Disappointed with Sims, had 1 good game for the year that blew his stats out. Shanahan so much better as a forward, clearly took Sims for ruck relief.

 

[T4P]

The rest of the competition have our fifth highest ranked tall and below.

 

[sanaya]

clearly targeted vic & connections this draft (not that there was exactly THAT many interstate players rated around our picks)

 

[Drunken Wookie]

shouldve taken indigenous small forward

hottons pretty tanned

 

[tugga]

Oh well I’m gonna sit by the pool and suck some dick

 

[Tigerbob]

Must say, that one confused me. Will be interesting to hear what club have been thinking here.

199cm ruck/forward or forward/ruck. Armstrong and Faull with Simms is land of the Giants.

The interesting thing for me, forget about Cadman. There is absolutely no point.

 

[T4P]

Disappointed with Sims, had 1 good game for the year that blew his stats out. Shanahan so much better as a forward, clearly took Sims for ruck relief.

Well we clearly didn't rate Shanahan above three other key forwards

 

[Groupie_]

hottons pretty tanned

wont play for 3 years according to Morro

 

[Calcium Man]

So no cadman then

 

[HumanMeatball]

Get the feeling we see this guy as a ruck

 

[of unsound mind]

Been posting about Sims, one of my favs. More raw than the other available mids, but a great size, huge shoulders, good hands, good athleticism. Certainly one still growing into his body, good upside.
Happy to have him, still a bit surprised we’ve taken 3 KPF???

 

[baazzaa]

We could have traded down and picked him quite likely?

Still don't buy the 'we can fill in the holes in our roster later' approach. We're missing so many players and our list is so clogged with talls, inside mids and marking defenders, we're going to struggle to find the list spots much less draft spots to rebalance later. and our top two picks next year will be so high we'll want to pick best available again.
