Spoiler: 2024 Draft Order

 

[FootyGuru]

Hopefully less then last year with Kelly/Heppell retired

I guess we will wait till goldy leverde stringer Shiel setterfield all decide to retire then.

 

[Koopa]

Is there a good GIF that sums up Stringer turning up to the first day of training?

So, come crawling back eh?

 

[Call Me Cake]

 

[FootyGuru]

Looks like stringer might still go, and we will miss out on konstanty

 

[Koopa]

Well well...now hold on a minute playas

 

[Keystone agony]

Stringers management hasnt given up yet

This can hopefully still go through

Hopefully.......Only if its for more than pick 53

Eh. He's not really impressed me in the games I've seen him in the VFL

 

[DonsRule]

 

[Corleone]

Glad that's over. A shame we couldn't work Shiel and Laverde off the list as well, but there's always next year.

This will allow us to play another young kid and hopefully Perkins can make the stringer position his own.

we really won when Jake had an "on" game. Great player, nice to see the club put the onus on the next group of kids to say "its time"

 

[ghostdog]

Farewell Jakey. I'll miss screaming "Yes Jakey!" at the TV...

every now and then.

 

[FootyGuru]

Definitely gonna miss stringer. Clearly one of Scott’s trump cards. Absolute bull around the ball and could be relied upon to hit the scoreboard. One of the only players at Essendon who actually excites me.

Langford to get a lot more attention now.

Won’t be in our next premiership side, but that could be said for plenty of others on the list.

HF: Guelfi Caddy Gresham
F: Kako Wright Langford

Pretty ordinary starting forward line on paper. Perkins is battling against Guelfi and Gresham. I’d have Guelfi ahead of Perkins so it’s Gresham v Perkins.

I previously got into a big argument with AI about fat shaming when I tried to get it to generate him chasing a slice of pizza. Not going to fall for that trick again.

How’d that argument go?

Still much more balanced than what we were going with to end this year.

HF: Gresham - Caddy - Menzie
F: Langford - Draper - Stringer

 

[Call Me Cake]

Gresh - Caddy - Perko
Langers - Jones - Kako

Mix of maturity, developing and newbie. Good balance.

 

[Westlo]

I may be in the minority, but that looks kinda mid....

if that's mid what do you call our forward line for the last 15 years?

They also have pick 14 where they can add Berry, Hotton or Hannaford who are just as good as Kako.

Fremantle like Collingwood are all in next year except Freo's push can last as long the Lions while collingwood are going to be like the 04 Lakers and fall the **** off the year after while pairing daicos with smush parker during the Tassie drafts.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Seeya Stringer you cancer

 

[yodellinhank]

How’d that argument go?

In a circular fashion.

Cliffs were it started with AI saying they wouldn't do it as it was a harmful stereotype, then I said why can't fat people eat or desire pizza, it said they could but it didn't want to focus on a person's weight and I said fine do someone chasing a pizza then they gave me a skinny person i said why is it ok for a skinny person to chase the pizza, fat people are under represented in AI images and it conceded it hadn't considered that and apologised but it's intention wasn't to focus on the weight i said then just give me a fat person with their belly flopping about everywhere and we went back over it all again.

Hopefully I've made a dent in the algorithms.

 

[jdstorm]

I think the tall forwards seem pretty locked in

With Draper Caddy langers and jones in off the wing.

I think we’re keeping Wright as injury cover and potential Draper leaving cover, but would be suprised if he played more AFL then VFL next season.

Pressure Forward positions should be a hotly contested spot. Gresham will likely be locked in but there’s 3 spots and a lot of players wanting them (Kako, Daveys, Menzie, Saad, Guelf, Perk, Dursma, mids like Hobbs/Sheil/Caldwell/Parish)

We probably draft a HHF at some point as well.

We didn't "WIN" trade week - FMD the Tiggers got a good haul

But bugger me the Rosa boy did MORE than all right in my book

Great job Matty!

 

[Andronicus]

That's pretty harsh and uncalled for.

Funny but very interesting. AI is woke.

Great job Matty!

Pick swap was fine, probably got spooked by the bid.

Other than that he has shown no direction for this club.

Traded no one with currency to get more picks in this super draft

hasn’t manipulated the list to allow for younger guys to get more exposure. Resigned goldy setterfeild and potentially weiderman. Couldn’t find homes for shiel or leverde. Stuck with menzie for another season.

Traded probably the one guys who’s worth nothing in a trade but is one of our better players, yeh I guess it could be for culture reasons, but Jeez.

The worst thing is I know that Scott will play the best 22 despite their age, which is what he is supposed to do. Rosa is supposed to set the direction.

I hope they are on the same page, because I get the feeling we will be finishing 10-15th again
