No one has multiple picks in the 30's so if we trade it will be for a f1.

Geelong has 32 and 36

 

[Wooshaaaa]

I feel we need to go tall with the next couple of picks, before rounding off the night with another mid like Hall.

I’d like to see two of Murphy/ZZ/A.Reid if possible.

That would be a great draft overall.

No. We need runners and mids. Speed. Wings. Zip. Run and carry.

Simpson, eh?

Works in Sector 7G.

Link to the article. At least some noise about how ridiculous the draft now is

We weren't proactive at all.

From the outside, and without knowing the inner workings of the club, this statement seems to apply to our player acquisition, movements, trading, drafting and pick trading.

Seems like most would be happy with Simpson.
Surely will be available at 40 right?

 

[Hoskin300]

First pick today has to be Archie Roberts. Exactly the type of player we need to add to our backline.

Freo heavily rumoured to be grabbing him before 40 so unlikely to make it.

We need PETCH

Pick 30 is a bit of a joke. GC was perhaps an aberation this year - it certainly didn't help.

Nice thought, but be prepared for an avalanche.

14 of the All Australian Under 16 team were from the Allies Team.

* First thing that the AFL must do is remove the points discount, that apply to Academy picks.

* Second is that the team MUST have a live pick in the corresponding round that they match a bid in.

* Thirdly allow all other Clubs the same access rules to their own, Academy kids.


Sobering thought the four Gold Coast first rounders drafted yesterday : Walter, Read, Rogers & Graham have all been in the GC development since they were 14.

So they have already had four years on 1. Access to better coaching and 2. Four years of bonding and developing relationships on and off the field. HUGE advantage to any young kid.



The AFL have created a runaway train with this one.

Sydney, GWS, Gold Coast & Brisbane get a massive leg up, with the way things are currently structured.

Only the players that were invited/accepted to the draft night are in the photo. Our last 3 picks weren't invited. Hardeman and Goad were in different states, would have been a good effort to make the photo.

must be so boring on the north's board with so many visiting.

Yeah this should be the priority. Roberts first pick and Freijah / Hastie / Sanchez at second pick.

You know how this plays out - Will run for 2024 and then AFL says, we need to fix this broken system.

Just like last time....

 

[ghostbat12]

GWS. Instant gratification blinding them.
We potentially offered Finn O'Sullivan to them for crying out loud.

they have a need now and looking to win a premiership. makes 100% sense they stayed in from their perspective. traded down more or less, got who they wanted and with a few extra picks thrown in.

 

[Balls In]

All in all, yesterday was a disaster. We are an historically bad team and we picked up a single player in the top 30. That's no rebuild. Best we can hope of today is a fluke or two.

it is nice that the pool is getting bigger but this isn't sustainable given distortion and salary cap to be fair. afl will adjust. just wants GC and GWS to win premierships first. to them, its better that than st Kilda or Essendon moving from their mid-range no mans land.

at end of day Dillon's KPIs will be game development in these two states. Not st Kilda and Essendon build.

By the way, Dillon looks a bit like a younger Nisbett.

What about last year when we drafted two first rounders or next year when we could do the same?

With the most hyped of them all in between?

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Williams was the 5th highest rated ruck just this season....

I'm not sure which rating system that is but he was not the 5th best ruck this year. Not even close.

 

[EagleEgo]

Who are the 2023 U18 All Australian haven‘t been picked yet? Hall, Stevens, Murphy?? Any more??

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Geelong do
