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

[eagles rule]

Tactically if we take Pou then Saints grab Hewitt swings and roundabouts ..

 

[The wily weagle]

3 mids and a highly rated ruckman

Any wonder this board is happy, this is a pleasant change from our normal order of 2 talls and 2 or 3 half-backs

O'brien it would seem has done very, very well

 

[ziad]

Come on Burgiel

you win

 

[eaglespremiers]

Carlton take Binns.

 

[InTheWings]

I will say I hate how we’re never ruthless, why did we not bid on Alwyn? Makes no sense why us or any team before Essendon would allow them to have this free hit

I thought it would be good to bid for Davey too but we mustn't have created him high enough. Also, play the long game. Most clubs see us as good to deal with and that bodes well for future trades etc.

 

[UseR2006]

lol Purps first pick

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Best draft haul since 2010 surely.

You campaigners know what happened next!

Preliminary final loss?

 

[Farang83150]

Bummer, recon the scum down the rd get hotten.
Annnd I was wrong!

 

[TerryFilk]

I do not want to see Hotton in a Freo guernsey though, hopefully they go tall

 

[Crimson King]

Failmantle has entered the draft

 

[Keys]

GWS draft haul for the picks they had is awful.

Finished 16th

Lost Taranto, Bruhn and Hopper

Get Cadman, Jones, Rowston and Gruzewski with one pick left

Only have Richmonds F1 and their F1&F3 next year too so not like they’ve loaded up with future picks

 

[Flayin_Rayn17]

big slide for Hotton

 

[eaglespremiers]

Freo takes defender Davies.

 

[UseR2006]

Hotton still there!

 

[Free Agent]

I accidentally still microwaved my membership. I didn't think this draft was possible and put it in pre cook mode. Sorry Pieman I doubted you. Will swap the melted membership for a real meat pie now in tribute to the great man.

 

[Hook461123]

Very happy with Barnett and Burgiel. We got a good mix of players over the last two drafts.
Missing a couple of forwards but our midfield has had a good makeover.
Pleasantly surprised with this draft, well done Eagles!

 

[Truly Lazuli]

We smoked it lads, chardonnays long into the night on the cards

Shit, I got a Pinot

 

[eagles rule]

"ThE PiEMaN NEVeR tAkeS MidS!!!"

Taken 8 mids in the last 4 drafts (mid-season & 2021 ND , mid-season & 2022 ND)

Happy now campaigners? Guess Simmo really wasn't telling porkies when he said before the 2021 draft that he wanted mids, mids & more mids.

Younger input from the boss`s son

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Thought Davies would be a late to rookie pick

 

[Spod]

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.

I don't mind Jamo and Williams but the odds of both of them becoming great don't seem very high, and we really only have them and Nic now. Worth a punt - if they all pan out we can always trade our surplus rucks to Sydney

 

[Trav22]

Who the **** is Hugh Davies ?

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Olli Hotton still on the board.

levels of sliding.
What's the knock on him?
Highlights video almost make him like a top 10 draft pick.

 

[UseR2006]

Something up with Hotton for him to slide this far?

 

[Trav22]

A Key defender with question marks over contested work… sounds great!!

Keep on dreaming purples

 

[TerryFilk]

Hotton and Hustwaite sliding big time

I really hope Gilbey / K.Smith are still there late, they’d be worth drafting too as HBF’s
