Game Day 2019 National Draft

[wilbur_15]

He seems as much a Key forward as Adelaides tom lynch.

I rate Tom Lynch. Very happy if he's as smart a player as that.

 

[Macca19]

It’s a bloody governance issue within the club.
Where are the checks and balances to stop that sort of reckless drafting and it is reckless drafting.
Both of those players that we drafted tonight should not have been inside the top 20.
They just needed to pick solid top 20 draftees. That should never happen.

Not that I rate him that highly, but Bergman was widely considered a top 20 pick by a big majority of people

Does Georgiadis have Mongrel looks the type

 

[benblinkau]

Dont mind moving from 20 to 22 dont think we would of picked dow of phlip anyway. were going to get offers from all over in the next 24 hours and someone could overpay. If we can send it to one of the teams with multiple picks in the second round who are gunning for someone like robertson who we wouldnt be keen on anyway and still pick up a kpd or gould + someone like sharp dont think it would be too bad

North have 28 29 32
Bombers 33 and 35
Tiges 40 41 42

Picks are all too late to get gould or a worthwhile kpd. We have kind of backed ourselves in to getting worrel or gould now based on GP stating we are looking at all thirds of the ground.

I don't mind it. He's a gamble, but a high risk high reward type. People get way too hung up on draft phantom hype names

"We've got a group of players we still like, so we knew with the first pick tomorrow we could pick who we want," Parker said.

"Also sliding back gives us some points to match the (father-son) Jackson Mead bid and also with picks for next year.

"We've taken a couple of phone calls as to whether we want to trade it already. There's also a few players who we really like who are sitting there, so we're in a really good spot for tomorrow night."

We never specified we'd be getting a tall defender.

"He turned up at the Combine in ripping physical condition, he tested really strongly, his interview was fantastic, we showed some vision to [coach Ken Hinkley and veteran Robbie Gray] and they couldn't be more excited to have him come to the club."

Parker said Georgiades is fully over his quad injury and will be right to go in round one.

Draft bolter goes from a year out of footy to a first-round pick

Port Adelaide's new forward hasn't played since the end of 2018 but that didn't stop the Power

Is he he from Mynos perhaps??? Was he tethered to a labyrinth?

 

[wilbur_15]

How bout first up we bid on Maginness with 22 to bring our 3rd and 4th rounders up in value before doing anything else? Gives them extra value straight away if we want to then trade that 22 off with one of them...

Well, we dont need any flankers...

Stuck in a sickbed in Myanmar with wine vicious bug! Struggled to follow the draft...a real bummer ... In more ways than one!

I am glad we didn't take Kemp, too much risk with that acl. Bergman I like, any I really like Georgia Es! A few days ago I was trawling though the draft list looking for a potential smoke steal, and i came across his name. So I started looking for footage, and /or any articles on him. I really liked what I saw! I thought he would be a great pick in the 20's, but as it stands, there are a few pliers like Gould that I had at 18 that are still there, so nothing lost.

Someone here earlier begged Port to do something exciting, and stop being vanilla... well they heard. My call is that this is going to end up being a great draft for Port!

 

[Janus]

I expect Bergman and Georgiades to play games straight away.

Bergman can slot into the high forward role alongside Rozee and rotate with Gray, Boak and Ebert through the midfield.

Dixon, Marshall and Georgiades gives us a good looking forward line, especially with Lycett/Ladhams as resting ruck. All of them add something different the way that Roughead, Franklin and Gunston added something different for Hawthorn (not comparing them in terms of talent, just that they can work together in the same forward line). You can bet your ass that Georgiades won’t be leading to the same areas as all the other forwards.

Add Butters to the mix and you’ve literally got 6 players in your forward line that are under 23 (Ladhams, Marshall, Georgiades, Rozee, Butters, Bergman).

OK. I am late to the party. Looking at the draft, I totally get the second trade:

TRADE ALERT
Another pick swap for Carlton! The Blues receive pick 20 from Port Adelaide, while giving up picks 22 and 55.

Carlton had picked Kemp at 17 (from a trade with GC), so we went for Georgiadis at 18. The difference between pick 20 and pick 22 is neglegible, so we got pick 55 Steve Dore loves so much . It was a no-brainer.

However, it was the SECOND trade. This was the first one:

TRADE ALERT
Port Adelaide receive pick No.66 and Fremantle's second-round selection next year while Fremantle has received picks No.52 and 55.

Can someone explain me the reason behind it? I am really struggling to understand.

 

[240volt]

Just thinking how much football is left in Charlie ?
Thats why Williams might be a good idea for the future.
I’m still not sold on Marshall.

 

[afl2004]

Just don't pick bianco and I'll be happy but seriously pick gould

What are you doing in Myanmar?!

I hope you get better soon.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

Does this count as upgrading on Sam Gray?

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Split the pick.

Get 2 more in the 20's

 

[Enviable Tradition]

If this fella actually leads at the footy then going to Port games might be fun again. We haven't had someone make a lead since Sarge.

Worrell seems to have his share of (not necessarily informed) doubters. Why do you rate him so highly?

First trade was when a bid came for Liam Henry at pick 9. Freo wanted draft points to prevent a deficit effecting their first rounder next year. We took that opportunity to get a future second.

The second trade was the real brilliance because it protects us from going into deficit for Mead now too assuming nobody bids on him before 27.
