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

Someone said we don't have any cat B spots left. If true, I reckon we'll take Champion #69. Rookie Burgiel tomorrow.
We moved Jordyn Baker to the main rookie list last year to make room for Livingstone on the category b rookie list.
No chance we rookie draft Burgiel imo. The club never mentioned we are considering that. He'll be a train on player.

A clear direction which marries into how Mini wants us to play going forward. This draft ticks many boxes. No one knows what the outcome will be with these kids but one would like to think our development will be all new and better as well.
Well done by the club. Now the hard work starts.

Cats are gonna bid on Champion aren't they?
Thank God they didn't...
I think we are okay. Surely.

"Oh great, just watch Fremantle go ahead and bid on champion now!"

"Oh great, watch these cats campaigners guaranteed to bid on Champion"

"Called it, here comes Sydney bidding on Champion everybody"



Literally heard that ad nauseam from every piss pants since Freo's first selection at 17 all the way through this entire draft 😩
