Strategy Draft assistance 2023 [Twomey: NMFC get #19 in 2023, x2 end of 1st rd picks in 2024, and x2 extra rookie list spots in 2024; no Sanders/#11]

[Palpatine]

2011 3 more end of first round, all for less than 5 wins. Gold Coast, Port & Brisbane. Picks 28 29 30. Picks were later due to GWS entry. All picks were traded and used by other clubs.

I am not sure why we are getting upset at opposition posters and coaches against the draft assistance. We would be livid if it went to another club. Everyone is in for themselves. In all honesty after next year (depending on how we do) the AFL should abolish all draft assistance to any club from 2025 onwards. I think that’s right thing to do.

No it should stay but it’s not a guarantee if you ask you will get. Each case should be based on its merits. You cannot have clubs on the bottom from year on end! There have been so many challenges for us over the past 4 years. Some of it our fault and some of it not !

All the bleating against our compo gets more and more ridiculous

Love him or hate him, Gill was pretty impressive there. Completely shut down Scott and Lyon rants for their hypocrisy.
Dealt pretty well with the ticketing questions too..

 

[Rod Stroker]

LOL! Gil just stuck it up Scott and Lyon for sooking it up last night.
He just confirmed we can use next years PPs this year. "Use them, get better quickly"

Bit harsh at the end there to call us "not relevant". He's probably right, but the AFL CEO shouldn't be publicly referring to one of his kids as "not relevant"

 

[Marstermind]

Completely shut it down. Called out Lyon's hypocrisy with getting Owens and Windhagar as NGAs, Scott's hypocrisy with F/S picks. Basically, "Yeah. The draft is compromised in lots of ways. Deal with it." Robbo and Gerard didn't challenge at all and it was all over pretty quick.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Good on ya Gil. When I see you at Warrnambool races this year I'll buy you a beer.

 

[desie]

I really don’t get it.

All the AFL have effectively done is release more draft collateral into the marketplace.

Rather than whinging about it, surely clubs should be working out how to get their hands on it?

Could use them to get GC pick 5 .. we could go in the draft with picks 2,3,5,14 . Not a bad haul .

now: ‘But.. but.. but…but .. but’
Jesus. Not a good look when grown men and Nat Edwards act like fukcing spoilt brats.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Didnt realized Mitch Owens was an academy pick. 2021, pick 33 StKilda matched the Swans bid. So how long has it been since the academy >40 rule came in? Was last/this year the first time teams didn't get access to <40?

Man, the hypocrisy of Lyon! Take your rising star nom academy pick and pull up the ladder afterwards. Then go on telly and whine about fairness? Geeze.

 

[Zebrah]

I don’t know what to feel. He totally slammed Scott and Lyon for their ridiculous hypocrisy

….but called us the worst team ever to slam home his point.

A bit harsh Gil

They will be doing exactly that, whatever the public huffing and puffing.

 

[Deleted member 98541]

At the moment 19,19,20 is a nice addition... but has a bit of gift horse to it.

What's 19,19,20 look like at the end of trade period? That's where it gets interesting.

 

[Devington]

Would have been nice if Gil hammered home they were END of first round picks, but other than that it was a decent smackdown. Of the naysayers, and us. We're shit. Record breakingly shit. No duh head office wants us to be less shit.

Absolutely. Everyone else - especially those who have also been crap in recent years - are sooking about our approach, when they could have got off their arses and put their own cases forward.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

He kinda said that though when he said the picks they gave us won't compromise the first round, which is correct, because the picks we got are after everyone elses.

I suspect it could look about 170cm high and weigh about 67kgs.

 

[Roo202]

Just shows what a small, sycophantic, bully Whateley is.

Huffs and puffs and sermonises with his faux intelligent gravitas at every opportunity. Allowed Scott and Lyon to rant with no resistance or fact checking last night.

But then when Gil came in and clearly and calmly explained the AFL's reasoning and rational, didn't offer a peep, even when given multiple opportunities by Gil to debate whether or not it was too much, said absolutely nothing and then changed the topic.

Sees himself as the self appointed moral compass of nearly every issue, but when he doesn't get to control the direction of the debate, ends it and moves on to something else, weak pr!ck!

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Pimms.

Yeah, I could see him being a Pimms drinker. That or Aperol Spritz

We have been one of the worst teams ever. But not any more. We have Sheeze and Wardlaw and Clarko and picks, lots of picks, to go with LDU, Larkey, Thomas, Simpkin and Zurhaar.
