Old mate Twomey hasn’t done a bad job again this year.

The man with the connections

 

[FootyGuru]

Would give an F1 and 32 for Bo Allen here

He’s the one I’d still consider a trade for. Otherwise save them for next season. The kako bid still not in.

 

[DERO]

The man with the connections

Kako is the only one he got wrong - surprise, surprise!

 

[Keystone agony]

That's not what he said. We basically have 3 first rounders in the span of 12 months, being Kako and 2 next year. We'll be fine.

Not what who said?

PICK 13 - KAKO BID IMPENDING

According to Fox Footy -

lose 33, 34
get 60

 

[Call Me Cake]

People being greedy forgetting that our easier access to Kako is a privilege that we did nothing to receive.

Pick 11 - Xavier Lindsay (Melbourne)

Richmond on the clock

Who i hope Essendon wouldve considered here

 

[DERO]

**** you Richmond

Heard someone say weeks ago that if you get an offer (almost) too good to be true early, you take it as clubs may get scared off on handshake agreements on draft night if players are still on the board.

That offer was not too good to be true. It was alright and could backfire on us if next years draft is lacklustre.

Zero chance a team doesn’t offer a future first for that pick if Kako did get bid on. We played it safe for a few late round picks. Could have had two first round talents in a great draft.

 

[Keystone agony]

Kako is the only one he got wrong - surprise, surprise!

The only club with no leaks

 

[ant555]

Think he mentioned the bid will be 10 to 15 on gettable. Bid is in at 13.

 

[ant555]

Because we where going to leake where the other clubs bid

Kako was always coming to us so why chance losing our first pick + getting Kako whilst obtaining a bunch of picks in the middle of the draft we likely move up in the order anyways?


As I said earlier, maybe we got frightened off but the bigger picture isn't as bleak as some are looking at

Guarantee Saints turned down norths F1 for Tauru

And that has to be considered a pick 3

Veruca Salt syndrome.

Also, we wouldn't have gotten the haul we did on draft night.

 

[Keystone agony]

Its why clubs should be using his stiff as a resource, because he extracts info that other clubs cant from eachother

Or we just played the safe / smart option and now we have a few picks late 30's early 40's and the fact is what made the previous top drafts what they where was the players further into the draft and not just the top 20.

 

[brutus76]

Let's hope the Rosa coloured glasses find a few gems

 

[Westlo]

People being greedy forgetting that our easier access to Kako is a privilege that we did nothing to receive.

We were owed this after the priority pick change ****ed us over.

Collingwood are still on 14 if they changed the rule a year earlier.

its a deep draft. Having lots of picks in the middle parts of the draft should be exciting for the Bombers faithful

Pick 14 - Jonty Faul (Richmond)

West Coast on the clock


that is huge !!! Some had him slipping through to the 30's

 

[Andronicus]

****ing Richmond dogs.

 

[Keystone agony]

Wow we need to get into the KPF race here

Whitlock, Shanahan or Armstrong
