Thanks. They are still pretty High but I think I will sleep better then last night as I kept waking up every 2 hours or so

You did us proud mate enjoy your sleep tonight.

 

[Maggie5]

Perhaps we are overpaying? I thought that financially we could fit another in.

Don't know really, maybe Wells and Mayne took us closer to the 95%?

Thanks CFC2010

 

[watt price tully]

X factor pick would be nice

Do you have a direct line to Hine & co? Great timing.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Don't understand what would be the thinking of not picking up Kerr, Jonty & McCarthy. And have less Rookie picks? Uninspiring draft tonight

If this was a deep draft, why didn't we use our last pick?

Total player payments, committed to four picks

 

[Saintly Viewed]

SEN said something to do with our total player payments.
This surprised me as I would have thought we had space under our salary cap.

I'm guessing a lot of front ending this year, hence freer next season for a big fish player

 

[FireKrakouer]

Filled a couple of needs and got both epic F/S picks we wanted. You beauty!

 

[THATSGOLD]

Was that Pick we passed going to be Used for Will Minson in Rookie Draft?

When is the Rookie Draft?

Yes we will draft Will Minson.

Top video of Brown and family as pick read out on Pies website. Can't post it sorry

Any relation Kirby ?

If he is really 96kgs then I think we might be!

You know what to do...

Set down for 4:10pm on Monday.

Thanks for time MagpieBat

 

[ChubbyGallon]

Hope we take Mitch McCarthey with pick 7 of the Rookie Draft.. (Jump in before St Kilda)

I couldn't be happier with our draft night. We got another key defender, we got a skilled small forward and we secured our two father sons. Mission accomplished!

 

[Vicky Park]

Daicos. Daicos, wizard, magician, marvel, freak, Sherrin puppeteer....... massive check. Will be a superstar. Lucky we told him to hold about 90% back so we could get him for nicks.

Ha, I love this urban myth stuff, that the club asked Josh to hold back over the last couple of years. The likelihood? Very low. The feel good factor amongst fans? Very high.

 

[jmac70]

Oh what the **** Hine, he would have been available later.

Would he though?

 

[Vicky Park]

Last night was a ripper. Fast becoming one of my favourite footy nights of the year. Sure, the coverage is boring - until your club's picks are involved - but I cant see how it can be made more exciting in terms of broadcasting. Gill drones on a bit, and mumbles; he's not at all an accomplished speaker. Guess that's the least of his problems.

As a teacher one of my golden rules is to talk less and allow more time for learning activities. The AFL could learn from that.

We have another daicos. He will be sublime, he would have been under some instruction not to blitz... hope so anyway.

 

[unplugged]

Another positive from draft night is that Witherden went to Brisbane and should be right to request a trade home at the end of 2018

 

[BringouttheGimp]

It's probably one of the hardest things to do in sport is hold back under instructions.. daics must have a high IQ..

 

[Mickaman]

yeah, just like Judd hey.

Hope so.

Don't think the start would have been as boring if we had a top 10 pick. Hopefully we have a pick next year, I might even head up to Sydney and watch it live.
