Game Day 2024 Draftmatmas live celebration and melt thread

If North finish bottom 4 that will be a good trade.
Pick 27 + 19 for pick 2 would be brilliant.

Roller coaster of a draft. We end up with players we all wanted but in different order.

• Lalor as low as 6 during the year but I think he has the highest celeing
• Smillie projected 1 during the year, ceiling also very high
• Hotton could be a freak and exactly what we need with Shai gone
• Faul im a little unsure. Plays old school footy, could be a solid pick
• Trainor as high as 2 for a lot of the year. Will compliment Balta and Gibcus for years to come
• Armstrong convo for first forward to be picked early on as high as 5. Inconsistent but having a booming lefty is exciting
• trading with north I’m 50/50. Can’t see us finishing any higher than last so the F2 to North sucks but if North have another shit year than we’re good

Few injury concerns which is concerning but need to remind myself that we’re drafting for our future not just next year

A night we wait for so long all over. Bring it on Tigs

Very interesting that that we picked Trainor after #20 where 2 year contract comes into play . It worked for us

 

[Carnthefkntigs]

Amazing trade!! North are a bottom 4 side and with a couple of untimely injuries are bottom 2.

 

[sanaya]

i love sharp, but hopefully 2 vic boys come on strong next year so we don't have to worry about a mummy's boy next year for picks 1&2

 

[NZ_Tiger]

If North improve it's not that great of a trade.

I think it’s likely pick 8 for pick 19 and 27.

Night one was as close to perfect as you can get I reckon

 

[Simche]

Remember when Norf wanted to slide down from 2 for 6 and 11? Remember when their supporters said 'no way will our future first be involved in that trade'?

They'd be absolutely dreaming and wishing that they'd taken something like that right now LOL

 

[tigersnag]

Essendon future first for pick 27 or whatever it is.

2025 draft - picks 1, 2, 3 Richmond lol you flipping beauty

 

[Lsta062]

First time in a long time that I’m actually happy with our first round drafting. We picked very well IMO. Lots of talent and lots of upside

 

[tiger_tough]

Two x late 20s picks for an all but guaranteed top 5 pick? Yeah, I can live with that.

trade will look even worse since there's like 10 academy picks next year

 

[fargothegreat]

It's highly likely that it's a top 10 pick.

Lots of academy kids next year, so even if we finish last our second will be in the 30s in a much weaker draft.

I’ll be death riding that pathetic club all year next year. Will be just as good as supporting us!

Na it be like 27 again after the academy and father sons

Cheers to him and Chris Toce

That was a fine bit of business

 

[tigs2010]

We are a chance of getting 2 of Rodriguez, Sharp & Greeves next year.

 

[tiger_tough]

What happened? I blacked out.

 

[tigs2010]

Probably in the 30s next year.

 

[GoTigers2015]

One of the all time worst trades.

Depends where Norf finish. Pick 27 + 19 for Pick 2 is a win.

 

[cybercrab]

Props to you guys for that insane
