Prediction National Draft 2024

Will Phillips

Can we have one season first? Seriously. I didn't want Serong. Wallsy knows his stuff

 

[Ge3ks]

That vision and those perfectly weighted kicks.

 

[Outshined]

Murphy says hes keen to get in the Sun out West

"They're gonna put resources in place for me to succeed, had a lot of strong meetigns with them, really reassured me, they'll look after me"

This is the thing, the club aren't walking into it blindly. They'll have done their due diligence (/footycliche).

Of course that doesn't guarantee anything but you have to back your retention processes. If he's seen as best available and there aren't any other players worth reaching for, it's negligent not to take him IMO.

 

[Arcassius]

He was struggling to keep a smile on his face in the AFL draft interview. I suspect he's still processing it all. It's a big move for a young kid to make. Lets back him in - he's a Docker now. One of us.

 

[heavho]

You new here??

 

[largebus]

Who knows what happens to Murphy Reid but Young said he had watched like 2 Freo games before he was drafted here and didn't go home.

 

[go_the_dockers]

I think he is a good pick. He just doesn't really fill a need. Badly want a good small forward

Vic Country v Vic Metro

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I just wish we could do the whole draft in one. Not a fan of the two nights thing

 

[Arcassius]

I think he is a good pick. He just doesn't really fill a need. Badly want a good small forward

I wonder if they will start him in the wing position that Jonno currently owns, and Jonno moves into the midfield rotation

 

[freo_leo29]

Trainor goes ooooh

Tall forwards sliding like crazy

The dad impressive me.

He seems to understand he needs to get out of the way for his son to grow.

Big move for the kids away from family and safety of Melbourne.

 

[G Mus]

Will be hard given he has a three year contract

Club won’t hold a homesick kid to that

 

[go_the_dockers]

I think you start him on half forward flank or inside wing role.

He could take O'Meara or Banfields role in our side.

 

[freo_leo29]

Shanahan, Armstrong or the whitlocks may make it to Ports second rounder at this point lol

Tall forwards are overrated plus its difficult to get bigs right.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Honestly, I'm a bit sulky about this pick and not getting Berry whom we actually needed...but that probably means Reid is going to be our best mid in 3 years time, future brownlow medalist and lifelong Freo player who takes unders to stay here and keep the group together given my history on the subject.

Welcome Reid. Now, how the f*** do we fix our dearth of talented small forwards?

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

He'll play 500 games for us. He loves WA. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Righteo]

Everyone sooking because berry wasn’t the name called. The kid has just been picked give him a chance first before the sook

It's the double whammy of juuust missing out on a need followed immediately by picking someone surplus to needs.

I'm sure Reid'll be a fine player who will settle in to the lifestyle here but it's hard not to be disappointed that we didn't do more to trade up for Berry knowing he would've rounded off the list nicely.

 

[freo_leo29]

Swannies go for the small forward too woweee

 

[Chris25]

It’s funny how the board loved the Simpson pick last year, yet Reid will instantly go ahead of him and play across half forward next year but it’s no good.

 

[heavho]

Everyone does actually know we gave up 2 first rounders for a small in Bolton right ? lol arguably one of the best in the game

 

[Dayts]

Can we have one season first? Seriously. I didn't want Serong. Wallsy knows his stuff

Different circumstances.
Seb was always going to play

This guys gonna be waiting a while for his chance.

Our F50 pressure stunk,
Now we’ve added a slow HHF who’s had question marks around his pressure.

JLs gonna loath to play him

Hopefully I’m wrong and he’s a gun and you can let me know all about it

Who knows what we tried to do to move up - it's all academic in the end
