Game Day 2024 Draftmatmas live celebration and melt thread

[Maurice Mitchell]

**** I miss prime Richo

I’ve always argued the best contested mark the game has seen. In my time, anyway.

I’ve always argued the best contested mark the game has seen. In my time, anyway.

Reminds me of this question:

During the decade 2000-2009, which player took the most contested marks? A) Matthew Richardson, B) Nick Riewoldt, C) Jonathan Brown or D) Warren Tredrea?

 

[Tigerbob]

That will never happen. Any number 35 and under is a good number. If we get to that problem it's party time.

I just think giving the new kids low numbers tells everyone else: "These kids, the ones coming for your position, they're special. You're not." That could breed resentment.

We have a stack of great numbers available. If I were Yze I'd write them all up on a board, give a little history lesson about each one and who's worn them, then say, right - who wants them? Show me. Not over pre-season, over next season. You want the number worn by Hart, Raines, Martin? Make me give it to you.

Dusty presenting Lalor with 36 and saying, "I started in this" would be more powerful and meaningful than giving him 4, I reckon.

Didn’t hurt Cotchin getting the number 9 straight away. Or Rance in the 18. Deledio in the 3. Riewoldt in the 8.

The rule is a Dimma thought bubble that’s just come lately.

Get these boys into these numbers and tell the Tiger Army, for better or worse, these kids are our future.

Carey was the only one I would rank with Richo, and maybe at a stretch, Stewie Lowe but if it’s good enough for Carey then it’s good enough for me.

I’ve always said, if Richo had’ve been in Pagans Paddock he’d be a Legend in the HoF by now.

AFL Tables has your back - granted, contested marks only appear to be in their stats from 1999 onwards but it's a pretty strong case

Imagine if we had a side that could actually kick it to him

 

[Sir_Loin]

Agreed with the Carlton thing but earning a number is beyond pathetic. What if they earn it and a low enough number isn’t available. Just let these kids forge their own identity from the start.

With bob on this

Unless there’s a multipost in the next 72 hours

Sims is an excellent 1 take very clean grab…hope he can establish himself as that ruck utility / resting forward

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Yep, it’s pretty disastrous for them I reckon. I wonder if roos10 is still around stalking our thread? Not seeing many laughing reactions under the posts since the draft

Should change his name
ROOted

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

That’s because you’re a lazy campaigner that doesn’t pay attention

Only thing I pay is taxes.

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Carlton gave Jagga number 7 and their other dross highish numbers too. 16, 21, 22 & 28.

I sure hope we give our guys good numbers. They will lead us to our next successful era. Just put it to them. Dimma bullshit earn numbers is rank.

2 - Seth Campbell
4 - Sam Lalor
6 - Sam Banks
7 - Steely Green
8 - Jonty Faull
9 - Josh Smillie
10 - Taj Hotton
12 - Harry Armstrong
16 - Luke Trainor
17 - Maurice Rioli
24 - Thomas Sims
26 - Jasper Alger

Think it's too early too give out Dustys number.
Give 36 too Lalor.
Same path as the Goat.

 

[M0557]

Can somebody please post the hot Essendon chick

 

[M0557]

will we tank next year or just shite

I think we can make the 8

The 8 points for the season mark?

 

[ROYCY HART A TRUE CHF]

Excellent mark.

Love the big fella.
Dimma should've named him as a sub in 19.

We gonna promote Trezza or what?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Give him next available

What’s wrong with that c*t Damian Barrett , whinging that we need to stop patting ourselves on the back over the draft.
pretty sure it’s the media knocking on our door not the other way around.
He’s majorly p!ssed that we are going to be back up there competing again soon.

You provided the answer in your question

 

[sregit]

Pretty sure our list is full albeit I'm not sure what that last pick that we passed was about.

Every club has to pass before the draft is concluded.

 

[sregit]

You'd imagine North will naturally improve with more games for their young kids but realistically when you look at what they bought in to their club versus others around the mark I don't see how they're going to rise much higher than 15-16th.

Norf- FOS, Whitlock (unlikely to play), Darling, Parker, Konstanty & Daniel

Melb- get Petracca and Oliver back more full time, Langford, Lindsay

Adel- cumming, Neal bullen, peatling, Draper, welsh

West coast- graham, baker, owies, allen, Shanahan, gross

Best case for them is finishing about 10th - that's going from 2 wins to 10 wins and a massive step forward.

Pick 9 for 27 and a future 2nd that once academies/FA are done, will be about 30 next year. Nobody is giving up a top 10 pick for 2 picks after 25 so we can't lose this trade.

Realistically I think it'll look like pick 5 for 27&30 with only Essendon, West Coast, Saints and us likely to be on par or below them.

Only clubs likely below North are WC, Essendon and us. Saints are better than all 3.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

jonty and Armstrong will be like this….they have that white line fever campaigner about them

God this is good

The AFL site, shouldn’t be clickbait journalism.
Leave that for Kano on SEN.
Report the facts FFS Damo , and forget about potting the Tiges at every opportunity.

Anyway , rant over, back to draft discussion

Smashed it Damo and more to follow

 

[sabso]

God this is good

Is that the Chief with the snide "if Matthew Richardson can kick straight"?

 

[Al Heimer]

What’s wrong with that c*t Damian Barrett.

His team was part of the 'Trade of the Century' ...the losing part!
