Need a talented Ruck on the list, no more projects like Jameson. Barnett has to be the priority. Lycett was the last one we invested in with an early pick at 29 and he had an impact for us.

Plays forward too so versatile.

It's the first part that is the issue. Hobart, whilst nice for a visit, is very, very quiet.

Plus the opportunities outside of footy will be more limited (due to the size and population of the state).

Do you realise that it's the lifestyle AWAY from the big cities as the reason so many players are happy to play in Geelong for less??
Heard an interview with Hawkins where he said he can drive from his farm to training in less than half an hour.....name me another AFL team where that is possible!!

I have lived in plenty of parts of Australia and living in Tassie shits all over the rest of them for lifestyle, space, food, cleanliness, and best of all, less peole that think that having more nightclub options makes a city better!!!

I'll give you an idea.....I have my kids every Sunday. We have gone fishing (and caught fish), driven up the mountain and played in the snow and then gone indoor rock climbing, all in one day with less than 90min total driving!!!

Tassie will have zero issue attracting players as, despite what all you mainlanders think, not everyone wants to live in a shitty apartment complex or in a street of mcmansions that all look the same!!

If we draft him, his nick name should be Anchor Man

The wags say otherwise

Nothing like a socialite insta photo

 

[Avalor]

Well hes supposedly come back to training with less weight than he finished the season.Gotta be a good start.
-Congrats to WC they have killed this draft so far both with the pick swap and selections.
-Looked at Wardlows highlight and hes very hard at the ball but hes not that big and that explosiveness is not doing his hammys any good at all.Ginbey is bigger;faster and just as aggressive.
Well done WC all is well with the world.

Show a photo of Nik Nat at the Academy thingy yesterday, and lo behold, he actually looked quite slim.

[Bleedblueandgold]

Night 2 more exciting than Night 1 since it seemed like Ginbey & Allan were a lock.

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Y'all fergittin' a supa fit Nicnat !!

Did you see the off season photo with nic and duggan at a brewery?

I'm not holding hope for a slim down version

It’s not quite beer o’clock yet

But it's 0130 in the morning!!

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Clarkes highlights are actually highlights would be a great pick at our first tonight followed by Burgiel.

And off to the game day thread for tonight’s draft

Game Day - Draft day 2022 - Its Here!! Live Chat Thread

100% thought we were taking Allan. I think the Hewett pick ****ed a few teams over

[new breed]

Won the draft , well done ROB and team .

Can be competitive hopefully in 2023 then build further .

 

[Shueygod]

First of all what a ****ing draft, getting Noah Long that late is mint.

With Gilbert still on the board I’d be happy to let go of Trew now.

Didn’t expect him to still be there, only other player I’d take over him is possibly Hagan.

Definitely think if Winder has come back in good knick he needs to be rerookied with the 2nd pick

Draft wrap: Eagles hit draft bullseye

West Coast completed the club's draft wishlist on day two of the 2022 national player ballot

[Ambrose Burnside]

Only sad sack campaigners will be unhappy with that draft.

Can't wait for the comments tomorrow that a random rookie or retaining Winder/Trew ruined the whole draft. You know they're coming

 

[Priddis Is Done]

I take it all back

Splitting pick 2 was a masterstroke

 

[Schtinker]

Would like Phillips just in case Gov or Bareass get injured. Could also allow one of those 2 to go forward.



Would also take Broadbent to see if he can develop or even Harry Cole.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I would rather take only 1 player tomorrow and keep a spot open rather than re-drafting Winder or Trew. Than ofc list our 2 NGA's.
Here's a novel idea. What about if we invite them as train on players along with other players we're interested in trialling and see who deserves a spot more?

 

[Byron_Clanger]

I take it all back

Splitting pick 2 was a masterstroke

The split pick was always going to be the best decision we could've made when draft day rolled around. Everyone loses their mind at the time PICK 2! PICK 2! PICK 2! Without thinking it gives us two picks in the top 12.

After trading all of our first rounders for Kelly we've needed top young talent in the worst way for the future so four picks in the top 26 is a great start.
