If this is O'Brien's last draft he's made it a good one, excited to watch all these guys play and develop together in the next few years

 

[Mop]

Few clubs can say they did better factoring in the tools they had

GWS had ‘mare

St Kilda drafted very well. Maybe rivalled us?

I had West Coast, St Kilda and Carlton as the teams that really nailed the draft.

[TerryFilk]

Not saying this will be our best 22 in round 1 but by midway through the season I’d hope to see something like this

Cole, Barrass, Hurn

Duggan, McGovern, Hunt

Chesser, Yeo, Gaff

Hewett, Darling, Cripps

Ryan, Allen, B.Williams

Nic, Shuey, Kelly

Burgiel, Hough, Bazzo, Ginbey

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

HAPPY with draft Barnett is a good player just hope drafting him does not mean we dont go after
Mitch Edwards next year.

He’ll be off the board by pick 18.

Sydney had a great draft purely for the troll bids.

Our off season

Started with draft picks 2, 20, 26, 38, 74 before compensation, FA and bidding shenanigans

Departures :

Traded - Rioli
Retired - Kennedy, Redden, Strnadica
Delisted - Nelson, Langdon, Winder, Trew, Joyce, Naish, Dixon

Additions :
DFA - Hunt
Draft - Ginbey (9), Hewett (14), Barnett (23), Burgiel (29), Long (58)
Cat B Rookies - Dewar, Baker (TBC)
Rookie Draft - TBA (2 places left)

Addressed our most pressing need (midfield) with size and/or pace
Addressed a medium term need with the best ruck in the draft
Replaced a departing small forward
Brought in two development players for free

Added a F2 and F3 draft pick (tied to Port) whilst retaining all our future picks

No ****ing about. No overthinking

Well done to the recruiting team



Over to the coaches and playing group now

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Just realised Sam Gilbey hasnt been picked up yet he has to be our first pick
Jack Cleaver would be our Hurn replacement
Baxter is one i really like as well as south freo's Toby McQuilkin.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Can we take Gilbey and Ginbey?

I’m convinced we passed on Allan because we already had Allen and it’d be too confusing.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

First of all what a ******* 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

Yep, agreed.

Long was a great late pick, good versatility between midfield and fwd.

Gilbey, 100% worth the risk with our first rookie selection as he has huge talent. Sorry, but I think he takes Trews spot.

Winder definitely deserves another season.

 

[KBLT]

Mr O'Brien, come on down!

 

[KBLT]

Gilbey AND Gillbee tomorrow

Yeo should be playing HBF and Shuey HFF. Would much prefer Sheed, Chesser, Culley, Hewett in there

Yea Sam Gilbey i honestly think if he had played the whole year would of been picked up
in the 15 to 19 mark

He is one of the best kicks and is very quick

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Just on Longs return to Bendigo Pioneers, was pretty bloody good;

• Round 16: 30 disposals and a goal
• Finals wildcard game vs Oakleigh: 18 disposals 1.2
• Elimination final: 24 disposals 1 goal

 

[Shueygod]

Yep, agreed.

Winder definitely deserves another season.

Yeah am happy to let go of Trew with Gilbey there, thought he’d be taken late in the ND which was possibly our plan before Long slipped through.

Hopefully Trew stays on at the WAFL eagles as I’m keen to see how he goes with a clean run.

Is very capable on the inside but seems to lack that outside game (possibly endurance), if he can add that he’s lost worthy imo.

I certainly had him around that mark, 15-25. He has had his injuries though, but if we take him and can get him right we'll get a great player.

 

[AsterixTheGaul]

Just realised Sam Gilbey hasnt been picked up yet he has to be our first pick

I would be happy with either Sam or Jack at our first rookie pick

Over to the coaches and playing group now

Excellent offseason so far. Any movement in strength and conditioning? Arguably our #1 priority this offseason.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Our recruiters have always known how to build a list, been unfairly maligned over the years imo

Whether the rest of the club (MC, fitness staff) can hold up their end of the bargain is the bigger question

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Well done WC, rebuild well and truly on the way, so excited about our midfield options and pressure for spots, Barnett was a good pick and a small forward which was another weakness.
We’ll done looking forward to another premiership tilt in a few years, and that’s what it’s all about.

 

[fullbull]

I 110% agree, but don’t see it happening

Maybe not Shuey but definitely Yeo. They’d already made the move for the Geelong and Richmond games before he injured himself again. He was awesome against Geelong - think they know it’s his best chance to really impact games with his body like it is now.
