you guys are hilarious. the chances there will be a huge difference in the output from collard, moir and whoever we take tomorrow is low. this draft is so even after the first dozen i don't really think it matters at all. look at some of the bolters ffs.
we got reid. tomorrow we'll take some kids that may turn into good role players. next year we'll do it again with pick 1-5.
too easy.

Its more about our 2nd rounder is now 30 and we couldn't even match a bid on our own academy player after there were 5 academy and 2 father sons already matched .

Oh to be a Port supporter and not have just wasted hours of my life!

Looks like those willing to trade on the night wanted to maintain a R1 spot in the draft.

For all the value of F1, if other clubs want to stay in the current draft, they aren't going to move and a deal won't get done.

It’s an addiction for some (complaining and near melts)

We knew that we were up against it (with the “complex” draft and Norf charity). The main disappointment is missing out on Collard. I certainly hope that one of Don’s first tasks will be to discuss the draft and all it entails with the VFL.

Anyhow, still have a few picks to work with tomorrow. And I’m sure the mopers will cheer up re Reid, he was all that matters (that’s what we had for the last 4-5 months)

 

[Jupes]

moir taken with a norf handout pick no less lol

 

[footy_basis]

Not sure we had anything that anyone wanted.

Going fwd we need to trade out older players for picks or let them walk for compo, there are no other option with this Nth Academy shite.

Gee those happy clapping our win over the Bulldogs, would really be crying now if the Roos hadn't won their last.

Pick 3 and 31 would have been a ripper.

Says on the website that the wce team tried and failed to trade up

 

[AnyDanger]

What was the line? The draft isnt compromised its complex?

The afl could have at least bought us dinner before they did us like that

 

[Barrybran]

Eagles taking Just Take Reid literally.

There would be some great irony in taking Archie Reid tomorrow night.

"Who do we grab, boys?"

"Just take Reid?"

"It worked last night."

"Alright, lock it in."

Failed being the key word.

ZZ, Edwards (just to piss Freo off) and Simpson tomorrow or GTFO.

 

[TOA.]

Edwards very tempting (but I have no idea about his off field issues).

So all the talk the draft is shallow was moot.

Not as bothered by Collard as others seem to be

Very interested to know what happened with the whole Curtin/GWS/Crows scenario. Reckon the Crows tried last minute to get extras out of us knowing how keen we were on Curtin, which was always a risk with a live trade.

Definitely looked like Curtin and his family thought he was staying home

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

ZZ
Roberts
Cooper Simpson for next pick

Dont think ZZ will last so maybe him next or Roberts

 

[boondy]

What's the deal with Ollie Murphy ?

 

[Ishmael_]

Gee, hopefully Reid is loyal as hell because at this rate we're going to be shithouse for a decade.

Pretty flat that this is our haul after this year. Gifts handed out left and right, academy bullshit, bullshit CBA gaming and free agency graft.

I think I'm done with the trade/draft period next year. Too much time spent on absolute wank.

Freo LOLing about us missing out on collard but it probably means we take Coen Sanchez now

I was shocked and they looked like i felt

 

[Priddis Is Done]

2 hours for 26 odd picks.

Maybe make it one a day.

 

[Obeanie1]

Hard to look past Murphy as he's best available by some margin.
Not as an exciting pick as others, though.

Hmmmm. Murphy.

I recall a couple of posters saying basically I was off with the fairies suggesting Murphy would be available at our 2nd.

Maybe they can let us know how the fairies are travelling tonight.

ZZ, Cooper Simpson or Murphy is my call for our pick 30.

 

[twce13]

Murphy would be a great get tho. Feel like a long term solution at lock down defender is a big need and he is the right measurable too. Gut feel says we won't tho.

Somebody said it's because he tested woefully at the combine?

A while ago I'd agree.

However splitting the draft means players from the 2nd round get more exposure and time for them to shine.

In previous years I thought it was terrible form that the draft kept going and all they did was interview 1st round picks. Felt it was very disrespectful to the kids drafted later and their families. They have put in just as much work as the earlier draftees.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Murphy is the logical selection but is not a sexy pick.
Despite having a far better season than Moir (or Collard) he is primarily a shut down defender. And an exceptionally good one.
He is 200cm, just needs to put on the muscle at this point.

 

[pantskyle]

Suspect we'll get some offers tomorrow.
