Strategy What to do with pick 1 now we’ve got it - Do We Need Reid or is it Curtins

[Dylan82]

I've had enough of all of these kents already.

Nothing would satisfy me more right now than drafting H.Reid and watch him kick a bag against the tin-rattlers.


And anyone else wanting to entertain splitting the pick in this massively compromised draft needs to give themselves an uppercut as well.

Once Harley breaks free of mummy and daddy's influence it will be tatts, nightclubs and all the girls you can get. Will be picked up by Nelson and taken straight to the Hip E club.

He had better dominate at the club then. Wayne Johnson levels would be the expectation.

Watching cripps being left behind in contest after contest. Treacle slow players often suffer in finals as the whistle gets put away and they never get to catch up at stoppages.

Bring on Chopper Reid.

 

[BartBart]

Yep, in this year's draft especially. I think the issue is the AFL may pick an arbitrary point to parachute North into, thereby pushing 6 clubs back a pick.

At some point, the other clubs have to ask, "how many times do we have to take a hit to prop these mofos up?".

The thing is with so many teams the lists are diluted with GC & NM claiming so many 1st rounders yet not turning them into a finals capable team.

Wafl Colts toddler league Curtin wasn't best on ground although he had the highest disposals
But just 23. Won't move the needles.

Although Watson impressed. Id say Curtin's 6th spot at this point.

Anything lower is a massive reach

Mck, Dursma, Watson, Sanders all above Curtin.

Depends on need for the club.
North need defenders more than mids or forwards so might well reach for Curtin.

If North end up with 2 and 3 (they shouldn’t) and are locked on Curtin trading down from 3 to pick 6/7 plus something would make a lot of sense

Hawthorn, Bulldogs (if they get the GC pick) and Melbourne aren’t going to be after KPDs

GWS might be keen to trade up from 6 with 15 to get Duursma or Watson

Gold Coast will be top 4 soon, i have no doubt.

I have predicted finals the last 2 years.
So much for that.

Should WC free agent Flynn from GWS we probably don't need Zz and Livingstone ( 40+ pick ) .
Zz looks too good to miss at even pick 19 , too many options .

ZZ's too small for ruck at AFL. He's played a lot of defence and forward also.

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

ZZ is KPD at afl level even he has said that wont ruck at AFL level

He can seem to find a bit of the ball for someone so new to the game.
Do you think he could play midfield?

NO I see him as a CHB he reminds me a little of Jako when gets the ball and takes of
Would be a good pick at pick 38 for us

Doe he puff out the cheeks too?
Sounds perfect for us. I was pretty impressed watching him today. Still like Oscar HB too and O'Driscoll has real nice traits.

 

[Sammy J]

Had a dream where we passed on Reid and drafted Curtain at one. I think I’m reading too much BigFooty before bed smh

 

[Obeanie1]

How do you think Geelong stayed up for so long with very few wanting out for more money elsewhere?

$1 pub sold to Dangerfield wasnt it?

Major sponsor a land and housing developer.

At least our guys have to pay for their HJ franchises.

 

[Obeanie1]

With the cost of construction of homes around Australia going through the roof it may be over but quite a few players traded to Geelong and kept on underpaid contracts got some amazing houses at very cheap prices.

Its prett obvious what goes on.

Do the AFL even care or investigate this stuff?

Why aren't we doing the same?

 

[bzparkes]

Aren't we?...

Simmo with a couple of HJ's franchises, McGovern getting the plumbing licence for HJ's in Perth.

I'm sure there's numerous others being looked after in other ways.

Know an ex docker went to a wafl club and his car got picked up, serviced, new tyres.

Every big club has rich fans who make it known theres under the table extras.

 

[Doashuey]

If Dark Sharks leaves, will the AFL give us a compo pick?

We would package him up with our 2024 1st rounder to get him to another board I would have thought.
Frees up some overused, unfunny joke space.

Gov got that HJ's contract because he's their all-time #1 customer.

Now that north have been kissed on the dick with all these extra draft picks, I think you really gotta squeeze it out of them.

I’m telling them to trade away their two first rounders for GC4, then giving us 2,3 and 4 for 1. Put up or shut up.

Zz looks too good to miss at even pick 19 , too many options .

ZZ is a Centre Half Back 196cm
Livingstone is a full Forward he has great leading patterns
Both are not rucks though Livingstone can pinch hit there
Even if we get Flynn I would still want above and a Taylor Goad a 207cm Ruckman
I feel we need a bigger type Ruckman like him to develop on our list
along with Barnett
