Game Day LIVE - AFL 2023 Draftwatch for the WB

West coast future first for pick 8 surely has to be on the cards now.

 

[Anja_Nees]

Lindsay Gilbee presented Sanders with his jumper... So I'm assuming Sanders will be wearing #9

They would have asked Stringer but it’s also the median age of his girlfriends so they thought better of it.

Wow Adelaide have got pick 8

 

[Zgope1]

Yes!! Sanders is who I wanted.

Got a great forward line of the future on our list but gotta address the approaching midfield cliff. This bloke could carry a big load from the get go! Bloody love it! Best 22 tomorrow!

 

[Struggle]

Wait, Curtin made it to 8? But I thought Clarko called him Curts

 

[_Cerberus_]

Very happy we landed Sanders. Interesting to read that he had the highest scoring national championships in terms of AFL ratings in history.

Was that Schultz at the end walking up and shaking the hands of, and talking to Sanders family? What a guy.

 

[Dav1d]

Adelaide have done well

Can someone explain to me North's strategy? Use pick 2, then bid, then use pick 3.

If they rated Walter enough to bid on him at either pick 2 or 3, why wouldn't the bid come at pick 2? It's the same result for them - either Gold Coast match and North end up with the same players, or Gold Coast pass and North end up with McKercher and Walter which is what they achieve with a bid at 3 anyway. At least make your competitors pay up as much as possible you numptys.

EDIT: oh of course, I forgot they traded some picks back at trade week. Wink wink, nudge nudge, very discrete nothing to see here.

Thought Eagles wanted him badly? Wonder if they even offered a trade at all.

The trade was really a slight downgrade of the Giants first pick, and slight upgrade of their second. So really in value it was a F2 given up for Curtin. The Eagles F1 was probably not enough to win the Giants over.

Bargain at that pick.

 

[Dav1d]

Bargain at that pick.

Adelaide pretty desperately needed a tall back as well

 

[Shacf501]

not blessed with speed by the looks of things but he is a natural footballer. You can tell he can juts get the ball and his first options seems to bust packs and go forward not sidewards. He already has a big body, remind me of JHF from port.

Im happy

If they were fair dinkum they'd set up the bidding so that any club could bid at any pick. That'd keep them honest!

True open market, not this exclusive-pick, wink-wink, shady-handshake stuff.

It really doesn't matter, GC had already traded for a billion more picks once it opened. They just won't use their last picks now

 

[Iamspock]

Thought we might land on Sanders and (while I haven’t seen too much) I’m very happy to have landed a highly rated midfielder. We need to start thinking about life after Bont, Libba, Treloar and Macrae.

There's life after Bont?

 

[Iamspock]

Lindsay Gilbee presented Sanders with his jumper... So I'm assuming Sanders will be wearing #9

Hopefully he can kick like Lindsay Gilbee.

That would be significantly better.

I had forgoten about North trading their future priority pick to Gold Coast a couple of weeks back. So much integrity, well done AFL.

Caddy will be what Stringer should’ve been for Essendon.

nah, something about him a dont like... think he will be inconsistent

It may not have a material impact but come on, it literally makes zero difference to North to have bid at 2. This is apparently a competition. North not doing so is just a clear confirmation that some hands have been shaken behind closed doors, there is no plausible deniability like the Daicos bid sliding in 2021.

 

[Dogsman16]

Good business from Geelong there in my view.

 

[Shacf501]

keep going back further mr Jordan croft!
