At least we drafted my boy Ty Gallop

Get in the queue blue.

 

[buttermuffs]

I concede Day is a definite in unfortunate circumstances

Really is shameful Dom couldn’t get Curnow in with the four future thirds we have.

71 picks seems a lot more than the last few years? Weren't they down in the low 50s previous years?

Haven't had that many drafted since before they cut the list sizes during covid:

Number of players drafted:
2024: 71
2023: 64
2022: 59
2021: 65
2020: 59
2019: 65
2018: 78
2017: 78
2016: 77

Three of those third round picks could be decent as well.

 

[beatnik]

Camporeale twins are 'guns' but only picked in the 50s?

Yeah, there are so many contradicting narratives coming out of Melbourne…for e.g.somehow this is:

a) a draft that is really flat at the top where there is no clear number like Harley Reid w year

…YET it is also…

b) a draft where Brisbane stole the ‘clear’ pick #1 Levi Ashcroft at #5 in what amounts to a complete rort

Our outs for reference:

So the Lions pick up two blue chip midfielders. While the Saints couldn't draft one despite a desperate need and drafted a bunch of defenders. lol

Ross Lyon will play 18 defenders if he can find enough through draft & trade…

Their backline is pretty ordinary and asp lost Battle. Definite area of need IMO.

What happened to Gillett, did we go off him or is he next year?

Because he would get a standard 2 year national draft, draftee contract.

As a preseason draftee, we can sign him to terms amiable to both, i.e. a 1 year contract that suits us.

Players who already have played AFL don't have to get the standard draftee contract (and historically generally didn't), but ultimately it's easier and less hassle these days to go through the alternate pathways (DFA/PSD/SSP) because you don't have to worry about others jumping in and drafting them before you in a practical sense.

WC added a KPF (Shanahan) after adding another last year (Archer Reid). Maybe they're planning a certain FA next year leaving to join Brisbane...

 

[beatnik]

Does Ty get the nickname Mr Ed?

Goal celebration song will be America's A Horse With No Name.

Nah, has to be Trigger….of course

We will likely match any offers for Starcevich which will help us trade for Allen

Reportedly number 12 on their list and far and away the highest rated player left on board. Very much a talent over needs pick.

Significantly better forward than Reid.

Their nga Cat B rookie drafted last year, Coen Livingston has shown more as a tall forward than Reid.

Compensation pick would be more valuable to WC than forcing a trade.

Also next year looks to have a stacked WA crop at the draft, and WC have 2 decent nga kids and a father son in the 2025 draft as well. All 3 played in this years WA under 18 championships team as bottom agers (along with freo’s nga kid who is better).

Nah Gallops nickname has to be Bojack

 

[Fatcat08]

Yeah I’d be careful about stereotyping Italians or you’ll end up sleeping with the fishes.

Doesn't seem like an Italian surname to me

BigFooty rumour (somewhere in here) that he lacked aggression. I thought it may have been a false narrative so we could pick him up cheap. Played a very good game (for a underage ruckman) in the vfl.

I understand he can play as an underager in talent league next year and is still tied to us through the academy. Hope we see him at vfl level again next year.

I have read an interview where he himself said that he lacked aggression and it is something he knows he has to work on.

What's Gallop's style? Fast leading hit up or strong under the high ball?
