Irving Mosquito, we hardly knew ye: Essendon bid and Hawthorn passes

[Jaeger]

Get stuffed you lot, Irving is going to kick 100 goals in his debut year!!!

And finish second in the rising star to some Essendon back pocket who can't kick...

 

[Gold Member]

I can hear m10 already.
Woooaah Irving,
I would give anything,
Just to be like him.

 

[Mitchell54]

Exciting news. When do opposition need to match by? Is it right up until draft night?

They decide if they want him at their pick in the draft and bid on him when they see him as the best option for their club then its left to us to match that bid.

 

[WireHawk]

I am very much looking forward to the day when 'Mozzie' and 'CJ' are in the same side.

The X factor will be in overload!

Future captain!

Let's not forget Hayes. I rekon he goes alright. Will be interesting to see what happens.

Won't be taking him.

Has off field issues.

Kid can seriously play though.

Irv is completing year 12 next year so we won't see a lot of him i would of thought.

That is a real shame. From the two games I watched it was hard to separate him and Moz. Hopefully there is a change of fortune.

Off half back

So I guess this means he’s playing against a lot of people older than him. Will be really interesting to see his program/development over the next 12 months.

I could be wrong but im certain he is the same age otherwise he wouldnt be eligible for the draft.

My understanding is that he took a tad longer to pick up schooling in VIC after coming from his remote community which is very understandable and hence why he has only completed year 11 thus far.

No it just means he was older when he was in year 10 and 11 than many others. He has been playing against boys of the same age, but many were a year ahead in school.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Really hoping no one nominates him before our first pick so we can get him with our 2nd pick in the draft.

I still remember CJ’s goal from the boundary in the intra club. It’s possible I will never get over it

I say top 2% in the VCE and Norm Smith. Who’s with me?

Faint worthy

And with Wingard as well!!!

Can someone explain how this bidding system works? So if say Essendon choose to select him, we have the opportunity to match the bid. Is that by swapping draft picks again? But I thought swapping draft picks is all over, or is this an entire new game where we can “sell the farm” if we chose to pursue him.

 

[threesixpio]

Running from half back ball in hand evading opponents to slot from 50 and all the while all you can hear at the G is bzzzzzzzzzzzzz
from thousands of Hawks fans

Irv the Moz - I’ve just fain....

Too bad Geelong has Wylie Buzza, they would have made a good pair.

At the moment Mosquito's predicted draft range should allow you to pick him up without going into deficit. He is 40-rookie and with pick 53(233 pts) a match can be made up to 233+197=430. Pick 40 is 429 pts.

If they pick him with something after our pick then we’ll just use pick 90 to match the bid.
If a pick in the 40s made a bid then 53 would cover the cost if we decided he was worth it.

If he gets bid in before our pick. Say with Essendons Pick 34 then we won’t have the required points to match and would have to go into deficit for next year

Imagine if they went head to head?

 

[Davo-27]

the media are really jacking up his value... and effectively the expectations on this board.

just remember he is very raw and no certainty guys, bit of reality check.
