Game Day 2024 Draftmatmas live celebration and melt thread

[TiggerDK]

Couple of 8 pt games agst lolnorf in 2025.

 

[brikzone]

Have you actually seen our list i think bar the acl dude all have a chance of playing. I hope they know what they are doing picking and acl on top of a big guy with back problems. It's also funny how we looked at three top draft pics and picked none. How we got Armstrong at that pick was luck not smartness. Overall I rate it ok not what I was looking for.

what three top draft picks u talking about?

 

[Groupie_]

We just got the 1st round pick of a side that started this year 0-11 and finished with these 2 games.

foss is gonna propel them into the 8

we're fukt

 

[Morro]

we will have 5-6kpfs in the vfl if we do that

Yeah we have too many talls now and most are shit

Hopefully the 3 we just took are the answer to our prays

 

[brikzone]

injured and positions

lalor is not injured right?

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Even if say only half of our picks end up becoming quality AFL footballers then we nailed this draft. We seem to be getting our coaching assistants in order and the new fitness bloke Ben Sherpell I reckon could be the real gamechanger in our fortunes.

 

[Frank Grimes]

we def getting a god father offer tomorrow night for pick 28. Cant see anyone left that we really need. Jack Ough would be my pick, or Gerryn who I love, but feel we dont need more talls

We should weigh up the offers compared who to draft.

Moreas and Davis are still on the table. I would be more than happy to draft either.

 

[DickieKnee]

if this comes to fruition and sets the tone for a rebuild, every club will try to copy it

Except Tassie will get most the top talent 2026 draft onwards

if this comes to fruition and sets the tone for a rebuild, every club will try to copy it

When

 

[HumanMeatball]

lalor on ice and will be eased in, maybe plays late in season
Taj wont play
Faull wont play
Armstrong sneaky lil chance
Trainor very unlikely

Smillie will play some games

I think Lalor, smillie, Armstrong and trainor play a fair bit

 

[Morro]

lalor is not injured right?

yeah 3 month hammy and he isnt conditioned for AFL, not even close. has never done a pre season. Massive upside based on this but cant rush him

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

we will have 5-6kpfs in the vfl if we do that

That's ok, they won't all work out.

 

[Mr Unbelievable]

Might be the single greatest trade ever.


You got a top 5 pick for magic beans.

Really jealous.

 

[TiggerDK]

anyone think we should of picked Reid? he has alot of footy smarts , would complement our big bodied mids.

Murphy and his Dad for sure.

 

[wegetpumped]

If we took Berry instead of Faull and J Whitlock or Shanahan with pick 1 tomorrow night it would have been a perfect draft.

The Whitlock boys are so underrated and was hoping to snare them both with 27 and 28 ohh well. Norf actually got the better one as he can play both ends,

 

[Richmond Flats]

thoughts on bone alan Richmond Flats

Glad the spud slid to the Weagles!

 

[sanaya]

good shout.

maybe we think hotton could cover that? might look at hicksy's mate hamish davis?

 

[Morro]

I think Lalor, smillie, Armstrong and trainor play a fair bit

Bro lalor will break down so fast if we play him too much in 2024, he is a slow burn.

Who does trainor replace?

 

[Groupie_]

Except Tassie will get most the top talent 2026 draft onwards

if this draft is a dud ill never forgive the cfl media and ill never believe anything the campaigners say about drafts

as mclure said "they say that every year"

 

[brikzone]

yeah 3 month hammy and he isnt conditioned for AFL, not even close. has never done a pre season. Massive upside based on this but cant rush him

true true fair enough, need them to send him to the grimes specialist get those hammys fixed.

 

[DontArgue4]

Did the hammy a while ago now, been 2 months... so he's only a month off being in some form of training. Let's say we start him up late Jan.... 1.5 months until round 1 from there

No idea why you think he won't play lol

 

[RichmondEshays]

We ****en nailed this and I won’t be sleeping tonight. Lalor and Smillie generational talents

 

[Morro]

true true fair enough, need them to send him to the grimes specialist get those hammys fixed.

just gott a slowly build him up I reckon. Be patient

 

[brikzone]

Murphy and his Dad for sure.

freo get another steal, they sure can pickem

 

[Mr Magic]

Remember faull was very highly rated at start of the year. Then he got injured and he slipped down the order
An excellent pick up very happy

of all the selections, this looks like the biggest reach by far.

nothing to do with the player but serious scrutiny in coming years I think
