Game Day Happy Reidmas - 2023 Draft Day Thread

[Coasters7]

Yeah wouldn’t worry about that was never getting to us. Reckon Geelong would have taken him

We could’ve made that same trade and trumped them if we wanted him. Looks a jet. Serious Shuey and LDU vibes

Pick 36 - Geelong - S.Mannagh

The VFL player, good on him.

it'll still bring down their age profile

Archer Reid over Cooper Simpson yuck. What does ROB have against mids.

Harley, Ginbey and Hewitt?

 

[nameless]

I'm hoping for Freijah at 40 personally

Every VC game I watched I thought he was really good and a player we've tried to develop with Brander and Waterman as that tall wingman.

Also another mate for Harley

Bugger. Freo got Simpson.

They were proactive and traded in another pick.

Unlike our mob who seem to just let the draft unfold how every other club wants and manipulates it.

I don't know how I'm feeling about that right now.

Keep breathing.....don't melt until we have finished.......keep breathing.......

Take good mids not busts

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Geelong like their mature agers

Many a good tune played on an old fiddle.

Whoever Geelong took doesnt even have a photo on the tracker

They lost the polaroid it was taken on.

Pick 37 - Collingwood - T.Jiath

Gee Hawthorn will be pissed

 

[06Premiers]

Hopefully Stickdick can direct his Simmo hate to Freo now.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Simpson looked pretty explosive in that highlights vid.

 

[Forward Press]

The A Reid pick seems like a pretty big show of no faith in Jack Williams to me.

Which is weird given he played some reasonable footy at the back end of last year.

I don't get our approach thus far.

Are you always this panicky and anxious and depressed at the draft time? Serious question.

These are late picks in a draft no one rates. Of course benefit of hindsight and all that, Cooper Simpson might be the next Gary Ablett, but there is a decent chance whoever we pick turns out okay, another decent chance Simpson flops, and the highest chance there will be a nil-all draw because it's freaking pick 35 and 40.

 

[dispute]

We don't have someone like A Reid so pick makes sense. Already taller than Allen and room to grow.

Every club making trades and improving their hand except us

I'm allowed to call it how I see it.

If I end up with egg on my face (which is fairly often) I'm always happy to cop it.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Murphy, ZZ, Roberts...

 

[Shuestar13]

Harley, Ginbey and Hewitt?

Apart from them of course

 

[ronpingwins]

Roberts or ZZ next it looks

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Every year we lose our shit about freo taking a “highly rated” mid off us, but they always end up being spuds but here we are losing our shit again like clockwork

 

[maxrm]

One of Roberts or Zakostelsky should be available at our next selection, would have been okay with either of them at #30 so I'd be happy with that result!

 

[The Gtrain]

AReid is an interesting choice. I guess we're missing the 200cm+ key forward. Definitely has the talent.
Lets go Freijah for the Vic Country treble

Its probably more a support network for HR, means they can come over together, get a house, they've played together, smart pick.

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Reckon tigers take ZZ

 

[ArdentEagle]

One of the experts on the draft main board rated A.Reid as having the most potential out of anyone in the draft. (Real boom or bust pick I suppose)

Could be a stroke of genius!
