Game Day 2024 Draftmatmas live celebration and melt thread

[biaseddustyfan]

norf have been rebuilding and gifted top 10 picks for years and were still worse than us last year
surely that'll be pick 1

 

[panatha1908]

make the 8

So we can win the premiership and get the number 1 pick?

 

[_Wang_]

What a night tiges I'm so happy you could hang a wet beach towel off me

 

[Drunken Wookie]

people stressing about norf imporving next year have a gander at their list outside of their midfield.

 

[tigers12]

People are saying that North effectively gsve up a future 1st for the diminutive Caleb Daniel. That can't be right?

this years 2nd i think

 

[lumpinee]

the fauxtel bloke reckons fall was the 4th best forward

what have we done

smoke screen,the 2 rated b4 him still on the board,not taken yet by oppos means Blair n RFC win that battle

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

No talkback radio after the draft on SEN. What a joke. I'm boycotting them

 

[tiger_tough]

Blair coming up on AFL.com.au shortly

[Greggy]

Blair about to talk on AFL coverage

 

[voorhees]

yep.we took Wins all night.
proud of the club and our recruitment team...
other recruitment teams would be so jealous of our draft haul

Twomwy and co. desperately defending Bombers and Rosa

Richmond factor

 

[Tiges1229]

We shouldnt have given lolnorff a future 2 nd back

 

[HumanMeatball]

first pick tomorrow and our future 3rd for Essendons future first and 36?

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Can't even be bothered looking at the comments on the MB. No doubt all the cookers are out in force in full mode epic meltdown.

 

[tugga]

Definitely not enough from the Scats and forget about their future 2nd, garbage.

Essendon will cough up their future first for Shanahan. They'll offer the other future they have, but we want theirs.
Pick 3 2025 it'll be.

Next year we'll get another 3 high end picks before all most of the academy crap

I don’t care about academy picks as they are pencilled in and not really in the open draft.

Twomwy and co. desperately defending Bombers and Rosa

were the druggies even there tonight

 

[tugga]

first pick tomorrow and our future 3rd for Essendons future first and 36?

It would have to be 2026 future as we don’t have a f2 or f3 next year now.

 

[T4P]

why does it matter to have first pick on the second night
it's still just the next pick like any other pick right ?

we have more than five minutes to create a bidding war between clubs.

Bombers to trade 37 + F1 for 28

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Blair snubbing Cal and co. again.

 

[4tune8]

Watching his highlights he just looks like a competitive animal. I have doubts but that’s a trait that just doesn’t come naturally. If you’re a forward without a competitive spirit you end up like Josh Schache.

It's something that #noobermensch said when I asked him who he rated as the best KPF in the draft, someone with that 'white line fever'

Very happy that we went when we did

 

[tigerdan]

first pick tomorrow and our future 3rd for Essendons future first and 36?

Our f3 already traded out.

 

[Tonythetiger]

The fact that we took 6 players with a great spread of positions, have North's first next year which could well be Pick 4/higher/lower and we still can look at turning the pick tomorrow into a first rounder is absolutely wild.

I'd hoped that 6 was the likely number with 3 first rounders for next year sitting with us (including our own), we just need to make the deal happen. Though no one is going to give us the kind of deal that North just gave us for sure.
