we are cursed with father sons

colonwood get softcos x2 , scats get ablett, hawkins etc , bullfrogs get heaps, carltoon has twins coming

and we get naish spuds x2 and a little porker in mrj
 
Any word on Naish?
Did he even nominate
This board hyped Charlie Naish up for years yet here we are. Don’t think he even nominated for the draft.

Seems like our father-sons are largely disinterested in/not good enough for the AFL since the 2000s. Our NGA zone is crap too. Last time anything decent came from there was the first year it was introduced. (Esava Ratugolea and Jy Simpkin). The bidding system wasn’t even introduced yet that year.

We’re playing AFL in hard mode.

Didn’t nominate.
Patrick lining up for Blues VFL team next year, maybe x2

Wonder if he has been told to keep his head down and develop for another year due to our limited list spots
Interesting that he didn’t nominate
Hopefully we get some more info at some stage

Looked okay in that vfl game he played for us this year

That’s exactly the problem though - we’re dodging bullets even with one of the two decent ones. Meanwhile, Bulldogs get JUH, St Kilda get Michito Owens, and Collingwood get Quaynor.

It’s possible, but it’s still disappointing that we don’t have clubs falling over themselves to bid for our father-son players.

Lol I don’t even know how the points system works because it’s not relevant to us! MRJ was the only one, and that with a low value pick and because Essendon took revenge on us for bidding on their NGA player.

There's been some good players from that area in the old days. What are the kids doing these days?
its only for non anglo backgrounds
 
Smart by us, strengthened our 2024 draft hand. We expect freo and eagles to be bottom 6.

We now have 1 first-rounder. 2 second-rounders inc freos 2nd. 3 X 3rd rounders ours, freo and eagles. Plus 3 fourth-rounders, ours Ports and Bombers. We have a lot of draft capital to do deals for teams needing points for academy and father-son's.

Is River Steven’s related to Wayne Carey?
 
He had a 3.06 seconds 20m sprint which surprised the recruiters. They told us they would consider drafting him but they must have rated Kane higher and didn't want to recruit two big bodied mids. They were concerned about the fact he was 100kg and how he could cover a lot of ground. They knew he was a good kick and elite with his hands.
Most footballers are reasonably quick over 20m, but it's when you are chasing players and they are running away from you that you notice how they don't have any gears. Noticed that a few times this year with both Hopper and Taranto. If you are slow you notice it in a game, the 20m thing doesn't mean a lot in my eyes.

Yeah I found it interesting that he didn’t even nominate in what was supposedly a very weak draft.
We have plenty of young players coming through next year that will be developed in that wing/hb outside role. Definitely don’t need another one.
If he were to show a bit in VFL next year , pretty certain he’s still available under F/S
 
In the whole, a very average trade and draft period by our guys this year.
Clearly had an eye on improving next years draft hand as they rate it. I’m not unhappy with the outcome, especially as it allows our first year coach to assess the list next season and make moves from there if required.

It was always going to be the way after last year trade period. We had zero bargaining chips, but still managed to pull of a decent deal for Soldo
Pretty much had to focus on 2024.
Fingers crossed it turns out to be a much stronger draft than this one
