Game Day 2024 Draftmatmas live celebration and melt thread

[ComfortablyNumb]

Pretty simple that the top of the draft was so even that they weren't talking about Lalor all year. Reid was pick no.1 all last year and the entire year it was who will get him by finishing bottom. He is very good and everyone knew that, so you could hype him up and generate clicks.

I don't remember really anything about Cadman after he was picked #1 for example.

I sometimes forget Cadman was even the first pick.

Has there ever been a bigger stuff up in the trade/Draft period than what Norf have achieved this year.
Pick 25 for Daniels
Hold on we need more experience
Grab 2 roasted ducks on Darling & Parker.
Wait there's more
They're so embarrassed they don't take the Kid that they really want because it's a reach.So they Draft a kid who they have a truck load of.
Too top it off in a move too try and save face they give up a f1 for pick 28 which in the end they could've got if they kept 25.
What else could go wrong?
Wooden spoon next year but no 1st pick?
What a **** up.

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

How good was Jack Riewoldt on the draft night door stop video, telling the kids they are playing for the greatest footy team in the land.

Must admit it was funnier the 2nd time.
Lift.

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

Smillie won't be happy. He agreed for Lalor to get 4 but he wants 9...

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

Agreed! Tempted to take a day off and go down to PRO and watch.

This stuff builds memberships.

make sure you empty the chamber before you leave home

 

[cotcha now]

Still need to save two high numbers for next years draft, think we’ll most likely go like for like though trainor grimes, lalor dusty smillie 7/9 hotten 29 Bolton faul/arm 8/12 etc maybe we wait and give sharp 4 who knows

You and I are normally on the same page, Bob, but hard disagree here. It's ingrained now; earn your number.

'Carlton did it' is an argument against, not for, doing anything.

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.

**** I miss prime Richo

 

[docko911]

If we do have picks 1&2 next year and the best player ends up being a key tall do we still take 2 midfielders, take the 2 best players, which could include the key tall, or trade the 2nd for later picks and futures?

If our key forwards are tracking well it would give us the opportunity to trade back and gain more picks in 2025/26

 

[richoatthedisco]

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.

Agree! Being consistent across the club with team standards is absolutely vital/not negotiable .
Letting everyone know they are all in the club to get the best/most out of eachother and can all earn their position through hard work and good performances in the team, as a team…
