Review 2024 National Draft Thread Part Deux - Welcome FOS, M.Whitlock, L.Urquhart & River Stevens

[Disco Dew]

what have i come back to?

 

[Psychic Roo]

I hate to say it but i wonder if they are factoring in band 1 compo next year… richmond played hball. Surely we tried to do that trade for an earlier pick.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Hahahahahahahahahaha

Saints fan laughing that’s cute.

Shittest club in history and a fan laughing at us.

Oh you poor sad little campaigner.

 

[KekiRoo]

Shocked to be sitting here...

Still, was great to see how pumped Matt was to be picked by us. Hopefully he forms a great duo with Larkey and the success we have makes us forget the trade cost.

Wow.

 

[trooroo4life]

Haven’t moved since it went through… stunned.

 

[Only Forwards]

So I missed it all did we seriously trade what is incredibly likely to be a top 5 pick for two picks in the 20s?

 

[kingcarey1]

Where’s Cameron Joyce when you need him?

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Time to trade a F2nd and maybe a f3rd for jack whitlock...

We must f*cking hate that 2025 draft…

 

[Roos92]

A lot of people having a whinge and yes it stinks on paper, but time will tell on this. Whitlock becomes a gun and we win this. We don't need anymore mids thanks.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

I think if I say what I’m really thinking it might get me banned guys.

So I’ll just say - I feel sorry for you. That might be the worst trade I’ve ever seen

The whole AFL world feels sorry for the Aints.

1 flag wonders

 

[perplexed]

So we basically traded our future first for Caleb Daniel

That's the crux of it.

The level of incompetence from Brady this trade period has been off the charts.

No goodbyes. Just empty his office and dump his shit at Punt Road.

son coming through next year right?

 

[Bashnek]

1st pick of night 2 next year, + we'll have futures to play with again. better to get a tall + the year of development rather than wait another year.

but also wtf was that

 

[HTPunter]

Reading the melts and bedwetters on this forum. As if they are some type of expert, and what a player is worth, and what trades get the pick. I think laughable reading some of these comments

Yeah norths recruiters are the experts that’s why we win more than 3 games year in year out

 

[HBFlanker]

I hate to say it but i wonder if they are factoring in band 1 compo next year… richmond played hball. Surely we tried to do that trade for an earlier pick.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Tas]

I don't really mind it, and I am not exactly Rawling's #1 fan. Richmond's F2 is going to be the first pick in the second round next year. I wouldn't worry too much about the number of the pick, I think he is a pretty good prospect.

I wouldn't be surprised if we trade one of the F2s tomorrow and look at another player.

 

[Forever North]

This trade will only break even if our F1 is around the 10-12 mark, Richmond’s F2 is around 20 and Whitlock becomes a very good player….otherwise this will be very hard to top for worst trade ever in pro sport.

 

[Ashley B]

what have i come back to?

Mate left our draft conversations don’t think he knows what Brady has been up to I think he thought it was all over for the night. Won’t he get a surprise when he reads my text lol. He just saw it lol

 

[Bush Kanga]

If we traded F for and an F and picked a Whitlock with , then dare I say more people would accept it. In fact some would say well done Brady. It’s not about numbers, it’s about the players. Back the club, calm down and save your self a few hours next year on the draft thread!

 

[cznsnowy91]

Theres a bunch of worlds where we just traded pick 1/2/3 for 27 and a future second. That is such a bad trade I genuinely can't believe what I just saw. Could easily be sitting second last again late into next season with no first rounder, we are probably favourites to be with how the last 5+ years have gone. ****ing terrible terrible terrible trade

 

[Wild Bill]

Where are you getting 10+ from?

If we finish outside the bottom 6 or 7.

 

[Mr north man]

We might as well just bend over and take it I’m done with these so called recruiters

You know what no matter how the NMFC go next year these people will continue to have jobs.
At a real professional club if this happens recruiters would be gone.
But since we are Boys/Mummy’s boy/Woke Club this will continue to happen.

 

[Shinboner roo]

It wouldn't be 19, after a few Academy / FS picks next year maybe 21-22 odd?

Yes we're hoping for a top 10 pick, if we snag a top 5-8 you've been destroyed, it's always the gamble though

Same can be said for pick 5-8 next year you mentioned, next year is heavily compromised

 

[HTPunter]

A lot of people having a whinge and yes it stinks on paper, but time will tell on this. Whitlock becomes a gun and we win this. We don't need anymore mids thanks.

Nope lol there was plenty of other ways to get this, regardless of Whitlock ending up good or not. We’ve essentially traded a top 3 pick for Caleb Daniel…if we were that keen for Whitlock

 

[CURVE]

Think we just took the worst trade in history title off Freo. Brady should be sacked

Not sure it's the worst trade, unless we don't show any improvement next season. If we are still in the bottom 2 or 3 next season, then our issues a lot more than just tonight's trade, but if improve and perhaps climb out of the bottom six, it may be seen as good trade, especially if Richmond stay on the bottom. We won't really know until the end of next season.

But as I said earlier, it feels like we could have done this trade tomorrow night and used our future second instead of our future first.
