Draft Day is here

Unlike last year when the excitement of adding No.1 pick Harley Reid to our list was palpable (and also near certain), this draft is uncertain and viewed with equal parts excitement and trepidation

We go into the first night with pick 12, which is expected to slide to 15 after academy and Father Son selections and a lot of guesswork on who we’ll take. Or even if we actually use that pick with rumours circulating that we might trade up or back

Night two we have pick 26 (subject to change) along with a gaggle of late picks. Again, there’s the possibility of trading into the draft with another pick using one of our later future picks and even less certainty on who we might pick

The one near guarantee is that NGA product, Malakai Champion, will be an Eagle at some point over the next couple of days

So sit back and watch to see how the draft unfolds whilst praying we don’t do something stupid

In regard to Murhpy Reid that's exactly why i didn't want to take him unless left with no choice. They can say all they like in interviews about being happy to travel anywhere but wheres there's smoke there is fire and the word about him not wanting to travel has been around for awhile now and boy did he look gutted, Dad and mom looked devastated too, he's a huge flight risk. Good luck with that Freo.

Whilst Bo Allan's disposal is pretty iffy i get a different vibe from him than i did with Reuben. He looks to attack the ball with a little more ferocity so i'm more hopeful we can transition him to a full time mid.

Banked an extra pick, took the home grown talent with zero flight risk and ****ed Freo twice.

That's about as good as i could have hoped for.

I don’t get why Liam Baker didn’t give Bo Allan his jersey. After all the only reason he got picked by us is because of him
 
The AFL needs to invite more kids to this night, considering the depth of it. Stupid seeing all the picks at home on the screens.

Even better. Start the draft earlier and hold the entire draft on one night. only give 4 minutes per pick in first round, 3 in the second round. Minimal interviews after top 10.

He’s also athletic, fast and hard.

So relieved we got him after all that went before.

Bo Allan and pick 45 is great result from where we were.
He probably fits a game style Mini will try and implement. He loves the contest and is quick and athletic as you mentioned.
