Needs to wear #2

Good choice. We lost nothing from trading down.

Yeah, a lot of bed wetting on here when it happened. Looking a really good move now.

SPP looks a real chance to be in the starting 18 from round 1, great selection!

I think most of the angst was due to the initial 2017 1st rounder trade.

The 11th hour pick swap with Sydney copped a lot less heat and from memory the opinions were pretty evenly split.

I wasn't particularly pissed with either. If we do well next year then we can trade away a player with currency and get back in to the first round.

Was fine with trading 9 out for 14/17.

And the assumption (fairly safe at the time) that we would blow the draft.

I think it was more to do with the pessimism surrounding the upcoming season, which suggested that we may have traded a Top 10 pick for 19 and 30.

Anyway time will tell if it was the right move, but we've done well so far.

 

[HighBudget]

Powell hey?

Yep. But Parker's looking pretty good for his Hinkley era drafting. So far only Harvey and Shaw were poor selections out of five drafts.

Based on tonight's picks, I wish to nominate Chris Davies as mayor of Alberton.

Ease up

He really is just there for a laugh and a knock-about time isn't he?

Nah, good effort Chris. Even happy to call you CD for the night. You've earned it.

 

[NEGAN]

Still effects us in next year's draft.

Pretty happy with who we drafted, but this still has to play out before calling it a masterstroke.

Finish in the bottom 4 next year I guarantee you will be raging.

We actually meant to key in "Kane Mitchell". Same number of letters and all.

I've had money on him for the 2017 rising star for three weeks so I'd appreciate that.

You guys have picked a beauty. Great player and a really nice kid.

 

[Tibbs]

Good get Dusty Mk2

From my own eyes, a few question marks over kicking under pressure/on the run, can grubber them but if he irons that out will be a gun.

I agree, but then I remember bagging a certain gun mid with the same problem ... Now number 1 in the AFL, and Brownlow medalist!

Good decision considering the quality of the draft.

 

[FallingLiefs]

How can you guarantee anything when umpires deciding things are involved???
