Game Day 2024 Draftmatmas live celebration and melt thread

[Lsta062]

The list decision I still don’t understand is keeping Mate Colina. I highly doubt he’ll make it especially with all these talls coming into our side.

Could’ve had more list spots open for smalls in the rookie draft or something like that

Rated top-10 in combine for Agility and vertical leap so a physical freak for 199cm. I’d imagine we want him to be a ruck/fwd not the other way around. He has bags of 5 goals and 7 goals and can ruck … great get in the late-20’s with huge upside.

Athletically a machine and I agree, this is a ruck selection for mine. Just text a mate who recruits at Carlton and he said the same thing.

Good he can jump because 199cm is small for a modern day ruck

God those private school dweebs with the Whitlocks. Glad we didn't take them

 

[guruisatiger]

Imagine at the end of 2027
Tomm simms is killing it
Jonty faull is killing it
Harry armstrong is killing it
Liam Fawcett is killing it
Campbell Gray is killing it
Le fau and Bauer playing great
Tasmania come knocking we can trade 2 to them for high quality draft picks

 

[DickieKnee]

the whitlocks are only really around 195cm, necks and super long heads make them measure taller

They obviously don't fit our no pencil necks policy.

Do you think Laura kane had her make up applied professionally?

 

[Danog]

How does Laura Kane have this job? Talks like a complete robot.

The fake smile is really creepy too.

 

[guruisatiger]

If you put a 164 cm indoor plant next to Laura could you tell the difference

 

[Danog]

Club says they see Sims as a key position player

Where dat

Now that we have 15 KPFs Balta can spend the rest of his contact in the backline

 

[Lsta062]

Hawthorn to go for Moraes?

 

[Morro]

Tigerbob I am sure you mentioned we were into Simms months ago.

Running at 10% strike rate bro, nice.

I think she might be Dean Laidley

I hope it work outs. He looks alright. Haven't heard much about him.

I will say that picking bit part talls who can play multiple positions is scary. That tells me they're probably not dominant enough to stay in one position in the juniors. Will that change at AFL level?

I'd rather pick the pure ruck prospect Dodson if we want a ruck or key forward if we want another key

Yeah that’s my thinking too, don’t need another Ben Miller type.

Is there a single person on big footy that can confirm 100% he is going on our rookie list as a Cat A, or is the rule they simply have to be delisted to give other clubs a chance to recruit them. Then they can be reinstated as a cat B rookie?

 

[Rubber Hips]

RICHMOND has resisted offers for its pick No.28 and instead added a seventh player to its list-changing 2024 haul, with key forward Thomas Sims selected by the Tigers with the opening pick on night two of the Telstra AFL Draft.

Key forwards Jobe Shanahan and Jack Whitlock were among the sliders from Wednesday night's opening round, leading to a spate of rival inquiries for Richmond's pick No.28, including reported pushes from Essendon and Geelong.

 

[tugga]

I don’t mind it. We won’t be bullied anyway.

Kozi is shit.


Lefau will fill a need for two years.


Bauer no


Gray no


Ryan is shit.


OHB lol


Mate lmao

 

[beema limapep]

When you think about it, we have only added Faull and Armstrong as key fwds. By the end of 2025 Lunch and Kozi will be gone. So it's only 1 year of list imbalance. 2 in 2 out.

Sims will have been taken to help with the ruck.

 

[Sir_Rancelot]

Simms is a very good contested mark exactly want we need. How do we fit all 3 in the side while you have Fawcett, Campbell Gray and Bauer. We needed another small forward or a winger. Also taking Grey in the mid season draft and overlooking Davidson now seems to be a very poor decision.
