Laird will still be selected. It doesn't matter how much "support" you get. You cant change a turd coach.

Haha. This must upset you so much.

 

[GROTTO]

What are our chances of getting Draper at 4?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

He’s 24.

With just 45 games .....a lot of those as SUB or stuck on a HFF .....only really got a serious go, after injuries to Cogs and Kelly

 

[Danger in Texas]

Probably doesn’t matter whether it’s 25 for ANB and F2 for peatling or the other way round.
Hopefully we don’t touch our firsts.

Yep, if we can quarantine those two firsts and get our two trade targets with any other assets we have, it’s a win

 

[jenny61_99]

What are our chances of getting Draper at 4?

Depends. He’s who we want. But there’s three clubs ahead of us.

 

[Brett Cummings]

Haha. This must upset you so much.

What upset.me? I'd never heard of peatling til a few days ago.

 

[GROTTO]

The 2021 mid-season draftee had a breakout campaign, finishing with averages of 13.8 disposals, 5.1 tackles, 3.4 clearances (all career-highs), showcasing an attractive blend of class and physicality at the contest.

[Amacca 23]

Im guessing its either draper or lalor depending which one is still on the board

[AFC3000]

Meanwhile Hinkley is on 5AA and the Port board is going into meltdown.

Sounds like Ken is refreshed and ready to go again and again after seeing Chris Fagan win a premiership, at 58 Ken is spritely compared to old man Fagan at 63.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Compeatling for a flag in 25!

We can dream. Only a brick wall in front of us is NICKS

 

[Big Dub]

So with Peatling coming in, does this reduce our need for speed at pick 4, and we just go for best available (even if that is Langford)?

(I'd still like Lalor/ FO'S before Langford, but able to be convinced otherwise by those closer to the draft prospects)

 

[adelcrows]

Couple of key things you can see on there, has an exciting first few quick steps, can kick goals but is not afraid to send the ball into the corridor either.. We haven't got these aspects in our midfield beyond Rankine, he looks a great fit.

Best midfielder

 

[Syd Crow]

Just when you are drifting away ………………… you get dragged back in.
Yes I can be a knocker of this club, but if all this comes off I will give the club a big tick and we’ll done, now over to you Mr Nicks DO SOMETHING

 

[cleanhands]

Bastards

 

[50BC]

What are our chances of getting Draper at 4?

At least half dozen very highly rated midfielders at the top of this draft, if not Draper than one of the others will be there

 

[Peter Doherty]

Depends. He’s who we want. But there’s three clubs ahead of us.

Your opinion?

 

[jenny61_99]

Your opinion?

No

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Will cost at least a second rounder - ideally next years.

A bit to play out, so GWS maximise their FA compensation ....rumour is a 2nd round for Cumming as it stands, pre Peatling announcement

 

[The Karma Bus]

This is huge. I love this dude.

This has come about in such a strange way.
I've watched Peatling and thought, looks a nice player, wouldn't mind someone like him at the club. Not very known but has something. Nek minnit.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

I just watched the Peatling highlights. He looks quite impressive. We can't complain about trading this year if it all works out. I'm looking forward to seeing him and Curtin in the middle in a year or two.
Now we've just got to cross our fingers for Draper. That would be a tidy haul.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Surely we can stop all this negativity now .....this has been the best off-season coupe in our history

This despite Nicks having spoken to all the Draftee's B4 coming ......Mmmm

6 Clubs chasing Peatling .....he chooses us

Will be if we get Wright also

 

[119others]

Haha. This must upset you so much.

A few other Power alias lurkers also reading this thread - you know who you are - and very ANGRY right now.

 

[dogs105]

Same year ??

Should we add Dawson & Rankine to ANB, Cumming, and Peatling .....pretty good haul, and says something about how players view Nicks .....to think otherwise is folly

Yep, same year. 1995. Following year we brought in Brett James, Clay Sampson, Aaron Keating and Trent O-A.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Will be if we get Wright also

I'm afraid that's a Hail Mary shot
