So how do we intend to deal with our tall forward issue?

Next year's draft. A number of good prospects in there.

 

[Crimson King]

When we do rebuilds, we do them properly. Stay winning, Rohan.

 

[bzparkes]

We smashed the draft two years in a row now. Rebuild is going along swimmingly. We will be a force in a few years

Exciting young squad now.

But ROB doesn't have any clue what he's doing, I was told?

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Nailed this draft.

Love you long time pie man, Toddy and friends.

 

[Balls In]

Bit surprised at us picking the best ruck prospect in the cohort. It's not as though we need one desperately. Looks like the rebuild is from the engine room up and fix the bookends after.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Hopefully, Jack Williams becomes a decent player.

I also imagine that will be the priority in next year's draft.

 

[EdCurnowRules]

Not a half back flanker in sight…

Disgraceful

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Blues selecting a player at pick 30 that they'll lose in 5 years or so lol.

 

[eagles rule]

So how do we intend to deal with our tall forward issue?

Tom Scully as a rookie or late maybe

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Still some great quality left;

Keeler
Szybkowski
Hotton
Hustwaite
D'Aliola
Davey jnr

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Congrats BOND 007 absolutely fantastic job.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Do we trade a future pick to nab Olli Hotton?
I wouldn't be too opposed...

 

[Keys]

Expecting to see vision of Dodo walking around Etihad with an AK47 threatening clubs not to bid on Davey

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

GWS draft haul for the picks they had is awful.

 

[TerryFilk]

How the **** has no one bid on Alwyn Davey

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

Jr? He’s a top 20 player in this draft for starters but even Essendons biggest rivals haven’t bothered making them pay up lmao

No future trading please

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Can we trade back in for Hotton please, steal here.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Darling and McGovern still have a few years left in them, then you have Barrass, Edwards, Bazzo, Oscar, Waterman etc all young enough.

Midfield was tumbleweeds

Confident of going tall again next year when the quality of the talls is greater. Pie Man knows his talls

Bailey and Jamo are ... Not great. So grabbing this year's beat ruckman makes sense to me.

 

[new breed]

Hoping Dewar gets past pick 40 !!

The midfield chops the back line out and has a large impact on the effectiveness of a forward line.
As in 2006 it can paper over a number of cracks in other areas of the ground.
Also we still have Darling and Allen up forward and McGovern, Barrass and Bazzo in the back line.
Assuming they don't miss large chunks of the season that's reasonable personnel for the next two years.

For me it was either Burgiel or Hotton, I don’t think we need both.

Hustwaite probably intrigues me more than Hotton

 

[Dark Sharks]

Get Max Knobel with the next pick.

We need more rucks.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

We should offer GWS a future 3rd for pick 34.

 

[BeornJ]

Best draft haul since 2010 surely.

You campaigners know what happened next!

 

[Farang83150]

Don't recon we'll pic 5
