in that draft.

There's a parallel universe out there where we took Stephenson in 2017 and Tsatas in 2022

 

[My Left Foote]

man i'm so over the repetitive "(insert north player) has only played in 15 wins" line
they've been doing it for every past and potential trade.

like get fkd, we all know

I'm sick of it too but the only way we can get them to stop mentioning it is to win games. Same with them mentioning small crowds at our games we can't complain if we're not going to turn up.

Hawk Tua girl actually said “I love you Lukey, foreverrrr” IYKYK.

Prolly one where we took warner instead of mahony

God I hope not.

 

[Conundrum]

There's a parallel universe out there where we took Stephenson in 2017 and Tsatas in 2022

Probably the same parallel universe where everyone has hot dogs for fingers

Never forget where you were, the day Carlton took Dow at pick 3 before LDU.

Never celebrated that hard in my life.

 

[GoRoos2023]

Signing is a formality, just tactical by management to get the best price. LDU is going nowhere from what I hear.

All this talk of Reid being worth $18 million over 10 is doing LDU's contract value no harm at all.

$12 million over 8 years?

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I am sure it will be a nice contract, but LDU not going anywhere. All tactical.

Would love to know what type of source you have given you seem so confident

If you are wrong I will hunt you down like a pig.

 

[GoRoos2023]

If you are wrong I will hunt you down like a pig.

Only way I am wrong is if something changes from what it is now.

What it is now is that he has been recommended to go through the illusion of considering options to maximise payday. Best practice. No intention of leaving the club. Presumably that will only become a stronger commitment if we actually manage to win a couple of games.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Never forget where you were, the day Carlton took Dow at pick 3 before LDU.

Never celebrated that hard in my life.

I remember some excitement when Brisbane went for Rayner first.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Only way I am wrong is if something changes from what it is now.

Now, where have I heard this before?

 

[GoRoos2023]

Now, where have I heard this before?

There are no guarantees in life fella, deal with it!

 

[CURVE]

Never forget where you were, the day Carlton took Dow at pick 3 before LDU.

Never celebrated that hard in my life.

I was at home watching the draft on the net and praying that LDU wouldn't get selected before pick 4. Probably the happiest I've ever felt on draft night.

 

[King Corey]

Never forget where you were, the day Carlton took Dow at pick 3 before LDU.

To be fair I remember punching the air when they announced on radio sports news that Keenan Reynolds had slipped to us.

Swings and roundabouts.

 

[My Left Foote]

Never forget where you were, the day Carlton took Dow at pick 3 before LDU.

Never celebrated that hard in my life.

And the media give us a hard time for picking Phillips before McDonald.

I can't remember what i was doing but i missed that draft and asked a mate the next day who we got. He said "the guy with the hyphen" and I was struggling to think of another player with a hyphen in their name because I was sure there was no way he'd have lasted to pick four. It took me a while to get my head around the idea that we'd actually got him.

Pick 4 and it seemed impossible that he'd ever have slipped that far.

I remember being convinced we'd take Paddy Dow as there was no way LDU would last to our pick. I was quite happy thinking this given I liked Paddy Dow and he BFNAAK but when SOS called him out and we got LDU I was beyond excited.

 

[My Left Foote]

Clearly I'm biased and I don't watch many other games, so someone please provide me with a counter argument, but does LDU have the best hop, side-step and spin in the AFL?

Review - 2017 AFL National Draft - Friday 24th November

Worpel still available. Brilliant. :D:D:D

That 2 minute period after Dow was selected and waiting for our pick to be called out - felt like a lifetime.

I think so.

 

[King Corey]

There was talk we were going to reach for Fogarty.

No disrespect to him but I had palpitations about us just letting LDU slide to Freo.
