Knew when traded 9 it would bite us. What a joke. Stacked draft and we do this.

simple view

2 x first rounders next year, currently hold what, 3? 4? second rounders now this year + getting Kako for peanuts

 

[Hollow Knight]

Does Ablett know you traded into next year’s draft or does he think you just threw pick 9 in the bin or something?

What an idiotic take from him.

 

[eth-dog]

Pick 37 officially won't move behind other picks now.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Eh I'd risk not taking Lindsay for the chance at a high pick next year.

 

[Zach Package]

Does he get past Richmond?

Would mean 37 becomes live…

37 is live. 33/34 covers 1005 of 1014 points needed and the difference between 37 and 38 is large enough that it stays

 

[MiguelM]

Is Ablett on Kayo or something?

I am watching Twomey, Beveridge & Edwards on AFL site

It hasn’t bite us and you can’t compare it now we don’t have the pick. It’s apple and oranges in terms of scenario. No way saints allow us to take someone like tauru then grab kako

2 x first rounders next year, currently hold what, 3? 4? second rounders now this year + getting Kako for peanuts

And Lalor / Langford / Smille / Travaglia / Tauru all gone before we could have picked so we where looking at another small midfielder or jumping early on one of the KPF.

 

[Dons4Life]

All the talk of stacked draft etc is BS. By this point next year it will be the same. Happens every bloody year.
No matter what we’ve guaranteed ourselves 3 first rounders over this and next years draft.

Pick 12 - Taj Hotton (Richmond)

Richmond on the clock again

stay there. I’m lazy and watching whatever was on kayo. Ablett literally compares players to every AFL player that plays the same position.
And Shifter just loves saying “this is a boy who…” over and over

 

[Keystone agony]

Didnt get 3 FRPs got 1 and a late 2nd early 3rd

 

[Westlo]

Did Mick just log in here on multiple accounts?

this is what I didn't understand initially about the trade out. Kako in almost every early phantom draft / rankings saw Kako mid teens. Then got injured and all of a sudden he shot up the boards even without testing..

made no sense

And Lalor was ranked 5-10, got injured and shot up to #1 without even testing.

makes no sense.

 

[doug85]

oooh bit of a shock

absolutely.. if anything, we may lose out on someone in this next bunch of picks but not exactly what we need either..

Hotton probably my no.1 of players we should have taken if keeping 9

 

[mIKe9441]

First surprise of the draft

One is a powerful midfielder, the other a small fwd.

if you can figure the difference out, maybe casual footy observations aren't for you

 

[DERO]

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

 

[Yoda_]

First surprise of the draft

Apparently GWS super keen so going early..



Expecting a bid on Kako here

 

[Keystone agony]

Would give an F1 and 32 for Bo Allen here

 

[Westlo]

oooh bit of a shock

they have enough picks that they can take the risk

 

[The Dustbin]

Shifter preferring to pretend to do notes than engage with Ablett. Giving him

 

[Call Me Cake]

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.

 

[ant555]

The 5 minutes is bloody excruciating.
