Also I think a decent comparison for Tauru in defence would be Nathan Murphy

Maniac at the ball, can mark anything, not super polished but super impactful, play taller than their height. And Tauru has about 3-4cm on him.

Let’s select a better decision maker than this guy

 

[archerboy]

Hmmmm that’s gone over me head bro

History lesson for all the kids out there. Marilyn Monroe also gets a mention in Pagan’s version

 

[Passmore]

McKercher, Duursma, Goad, Hardeman, Dawson

That's still a good haul.

Not sure why this year’s will turn out better than this lot. They’re all just names that have done **** all apart from McKercher.

Hahahaha good call nafan you twat

 

[Chip Scab1]

We have all our picks and likely need to move 32 because of those pesky academy bids.

So we will get those picks if we want them.

The issue here is that you probably don’t want to slide 2 back that far and no one is giving anyone a bounty for future picks this year.

I'll say it again but more clearly. We can't even get two teens picks for selection #2. You'll be fortunate to get the pick you offer returned to you with the addition of a future 2nd. Ie: 8 + F2 = just 8. It was a little subtle I admit, but your response was likely that you didn't get it, and that makes me sad.

 

[The Talent Scout]

Bigfooty: We have too many mids and need to draft a KPP with our next first rounder for better list balance.

Also Bigfooty: We should draft the best mid with pick 2.

YUH GOTTA LOVE BIGFOOTY!

Has there ever been a draft with so much funny buggers? I've read that Carlton don't care if FOS is there at 3, they probably wouldn't take him anyway. I've heard that Adelaide aren't keen on Draper and that Draper is not that keen on Adelaide. I've seen Richmond happy to hold pick 6 because Simile will probably still be on the board, Demons excited about the prospect of Tauru still being there at 5, and of course us having a transparent interest in beating Melbourne to Tauru by pulling the trigger at 2. Will be an interesting first round.

 

[LB2Snake]

Still think Richmond are complete fools. Could’ve stitched up pick 1 and 2, possibly in consecutive years. 6+10+18 for 2 and F1 I reckon could’ve been the deal.
That would supercharge your rebuild. Ah well. Let em be.
*Cue the TigTok responses.


*Actually prefer you stay on your own board.

 

[Masked Avenger]

And then next year this time you’d say the same.

I agree.

That's the clear sentiment of many on this thread.

Trade our F1 for unders because this is the last of the super drafts apparently and last year was average and next year's crop will be average.

I'm not sure how people can be so certain.

You won't know the strength of a draft year inside a few years at least when these kids are playing against elite men week in week out.

That includes our haul of 5 first rounders last year. Give them ago before you start lamenting taking them.

Btw. I don't envy Richmond's haul when you consider the talent they had to give up to get it.

6,10 and 18 for 2 and our F1 is terrible for us.

Giving up 2 likely top 5 picks for none in return is a hanging offence.

Agree, but I think we’d do it. Essentially 6+18 for 2 and our F1 for 10

 

[King Corey]

I am going to shoot the next poster (with a water pistol) who suggests trading a F1 for a later 1st rounder this year.

Why?

Are the entire 2025 crop shitmen?

Are we winning the 2025 flag?

People realise the top 3-5 players are more often than not elite talents each year, yeh?

We don't have to finish off our list this year.

Nah 6-10 and 18 is decent would take that. Not sure tigers would.

Where ya gunna shoot me? I think you’ll find Brady is keen to trade into this first round. Mightn’t be our F1, but won’t be surprised if it is.

They won’t mate…….and it’s a mistake by them IMO.
They’ve been kissed on the dick by the hilarious Rioli trade and think their head recruiter is an idiot savant. Clearly missing the fact the Suns treat round ones like candy.
