2024 Picks



2025 Picks

 

[VandoHawk]

If O’Driscoll wanted out he would be a good fit on the wing opposite Massimo. He’s a WA boy though so unlikely.

I think his late season selection and form might persuade him to stay another year. Definitely worth asking the question.

Clearly AI generated (BTW, I'm joking).

I did hear today that he was with the Geelong boys.

 

[Bugs1977]

Baz sitting with the Cats players at the game last night. Lol.

That will be announced in the AM sometime tomorrow for sure

 

[mustang]

Freo very keen on Jai in his draft year, maybe just to please Caleb. If they are keen still, would take O’driscoll of their hands.

Or keep Jai then go after Caleb as FA in a few years

Prefer to keep Jai and give him a preseason as a forward under the tutelage of Gunner

Any players from the eagles that we may want them to throw in to the Barrass deal coming back?
Eg Coby burgiel is from Gippsland and went pick 29 two years ago hasn’t done much due to injury. But had express pace and good skills as a junior.

Only player Eagles would be willing to give up that we may be interested in would be Maric. But I'm not sure we need him with another preseason into Scaife

mmm, I think Scaife needs to drop a few kg to be more agile. Real Callow areas in the agility stakes for mine

I’d be going for Erasmus

He looked alright to me with his first few games. Offers a lot more than Callow even with his current agility. May have been carrying a niggle.

Either way, plenty of players have carved out careers with below average agility. Ben Brown says Hi.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Were their any star performers from the vfl finals we should be looking at?

 

[Brant]

I’d be going for Erasmus

Hasn't had a kick all year.

I was all for drafting him once it was clear we weren't getting Finn Callaghan, but he doesn't seem to have developed much at all.

 

[rei154]

I’d be going for Erasmus

Had similar things said about him that HH did.
I liked the look of him, but I'm not sure how he'd go in our midfield?

 

[TylerDurden]

Dogs board saying JUH is on the table .

One of their best ITK’s inferred earlier in the year he was mixing with the wrong crowd - bringing bikies into the rooms and such

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

They know how to pick them

Hasn't got the best associates off field. Been hanging around a boxing gym where plenty of undesirable types frequent and he legitimately has a horrible attitude/work rate.

Very good 22yo key forwards don't get shopped for no reason unfortunately.

Plus they'd want 3 x firsts.

I’d take him every day of the week and twice on Sunday and if it meant we got him I would let his new boxing friends run security for the club

He would thrive in our culture

 

[Flukey!]

So tomorrow's expected announcements:

Perryman ---->PAFC?
Bazza -------->GFC?

Shame about Baz, I was convinced he was coming to us but that was early in the season when our mids weren't exactly killing it.


<-------19 years

O'driscoll has just signed an extension

That's a hard pass for me, way too many red flags in the above.

It's not like he is a Buddy level talent that would make you take a punt with all that going on in his life.

And on that - you can say a lot about Bud but he was one of the hardest trainers at the club.

I mean all depends on the price really.

If Dogs are shopping him around, just depends on what they want. Dogs need to probably sell one of their 3 key forwards, as they're too stacked in that area - and Darcy will be a freak going forward.

They need to invest in their backline and ageing midfield.

As long as Barrass is no worse than our first and a pick slide I’m good.
He’s a good player but that’s enough to give.

To be honest, I don't care if the pick we trade for Barrass ends up being the next Hodge, Mitchell or Franklin. As long as we get a flag it's worth it.

End of 2012 we traded for Lake. Even if we somehow obtained and traded away picks 1, 2 and 3 in that draft I defy anybody to find 3 players in that draft combined that I would want over Lake.
