Happy Draft Day everybody!

LIfe moments for me ranked.

1. Nic Handing over no. 9 to Reid.
2. Birth of my three kids + Getting married
3. 1992, 1994, 2006, 2018 GF's.

True supporter would swap 2 and 3 and drop wife down to 4 (can always get married, can't always win the GF).

Do you genuinely think that Hunt is anywhere near Barrass overall tho? Hunt was solid this year but he is still an average wingman with a s**t kick that wont be in our next premiership side.

Apples & oranges IMO, not worth comparing

Can someone please confirm Sam McClure already has a "Reid won't extend his contract" sitting in his Draft box....

Then a Reid will never win two Brownlow medals at West Coast.
Then a Reid will never be a triple Premiership captain at West Coast.
Then a Reid won't retire at West Coast.
Then a ....

WOW Longy was rated as low pick 20 `s ..

 

[Trouto]

It baffles me how Long slipped to 58

And he nailed the kick. I love this kid.

Realistic best picks if we don't trade with GWS.

1: Reid
28: Gothard
37: Hall
50: Philactides
57/R1: O'Leary

If we land Gothard and Philactides, surely we can get Zakostelsky as well.

Totally different type of player for comparison purposes. Both are excellent players though

Also a little unsure on why we are comparing Hunt and TB. May have missed something earlier. TB without question is in the top 2 Key backs in the league when fully fit and not playing in the rabble that we have been the last two years.

Hunt may not be in our next premiership team, but will be crucial in our rebuild and setting a platform for us to contend in 4-5 years time.

I think cornes isn't getting enough focus here

Hall at 37 doesn't appeal to me at all.

 

[Mop]

Hall at 37 doesn't appeal to me at all.

I'm sure he'll be a handy role player type, but I agree, the next pick after that for Hall and if he isn't there then we take someone else.

I reckon it was also the hardest Sheed chased a ball carrier all season.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

He certainly had a long wait on draft night....

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

It baffles me how Long slipped to 58

Absolutely nailed that pick.

Wonder how hard this board would have melted at the time if we did use a pick in the low 20s for him though.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Of all the draftees last year I like Long the most, extremely smart footy player and very hard at it, didn’t take one backward step last year which is excellent to see considering how small he is. You can also tell he’s very competitive, stoked we got him at 58

Then when Reid goes back to VIC after retiring he says “I told you”.

Means they must've rated Burgiel and Barnett in teens.

 

[Mop]

Absolute steal. I know Small forwards are risky because some just don't develop, but he's got the defensive side down, the footballing nous and the actual skill.

Absolute little gun is Noah Long.

 

[WCE_Phill]

I actually see eventually being a mid/hhf

A prime non flog Alan Didak role

 

[Hoskin300]

While Barrass is more structurally and positionally important there are many, many worse players than Hunt (even at West Coast) who have been integral to premierships. If Chesser and say a Burgiel and Simpson/Hastie (should we pick up such a player tomorrow) force Hunt out of the side than more the better. That is healthy competition.
As to the previous question Charlie Edwards seems to be a great option as an outside midfielder rather than a winger specifically.
I know that they are relatively interchangeable but there is a difference.
I doubt Edwards will fall to our pick in any event.

Hunt will be too old by the time we win our next flag. No chance he is regular best 22 in four or five years time. It would be a priority to provide some competition for him with in the draft today as you have said.

Yeah Charlie Edwards has played as a rebound defender and an inside mid. I don't think he is a realistic draft option at any of our picks and certainly hasn't shown he can play wing yet. I have not suggested drafting him as one.

Started as a midfielder too as a junior before being injured and coming back as a small forward.

I wonder if he would have been drafted at all as a midfielder?

179cm so not tiny (same height as Ben Cousins).
