2020 AFL Draft Night - Chatter

[PMBangers]

Do we look to bid on Cody Brand with our last pick? Seems a decent prospect, Essendon taking Cox & Reid are presumably counting on Brand getting through to the rookie draft and might not match an early-ish bid.

I'd be happy with a Brand bid at either one of our next two, would still like to get Highmore and then Fleeton as a rookie tho

Yes, Highmore would be similar to (not not as highly rated as) Chapman in role ... ex-GWS academy so well suited. I guess we'll see.

 

[PMBangers]

hmmm, sort of wanted Laurie or Bowey, reckon we probably put a Coleman or Gulden bid in now

PICK 22 - MELBOURNE - BAILEY LAURIE

 

[Callums_Guns]

Let's see if we go a tall

 

[Giant Strides]

Bailey Laurie now gone. Do we bid on Mcinnes? Bid on Errol Gulden? Take Jack Carroll? Highmore could still be the fifth selection.

 

[PMBangers]

Let's see if we go a tall

Think all talls here are available at our next, Carroll and O'Driscoll would be my favourites here

[Ichabod Noodle]

Do we bid on Mcinnes? .

apparently yes

 

[Callums_Guns]

PICK 23 - COLLINGWOOD (matched GWS' bid) - REEF McINNES

 

[PMBangers]

Anyone watching the Fox coverage? Shifter doesn't know how to pronounce Philippines

 

[Callums_Guns]

Trade and maybe done

 

[PMBangers]

Oh * that's a great trade, good work team

I guess for our draft so far, it's been a bit, meh, thrilled with Bruhn but Stone and Angwin are real 50/50s

 

[Callums_Guns]

TRADE: GWS AND COLLINGWOOD

Collingwood receives picks 24, 30 and a 2021 fourth-rounder.

GWS receive a 2021 first-rounder.

 

[Callums_Guns]

On that note guys that's me done with a 3am start tomorrow

 

[Giant Strides]

So, are we done for tonight? We're two picks short of our required 36 main list players, so still need two from somewhere.

If there are only supposedly 52-53 picks done tonight, do we take 1 or even 2 more at the back end of the draft - whoever happens to be there who's available and fits our needs? Possibly Highmore, Fleeton, Isiah Winder. Of do we now look to get one or two DFAs in? We could still look to one rookie selection if we don't take back Zach Sproule.

I was in favour of the trade until Collingwood bid on Coleman, those *ers.

Always hate Collingwood.

 

[dlanod]

Always hate Collingwood.

The only people who hate Collingwood more than me are Collingwood fans.

 

[Giant Strides]

Or do we look to trade back in with ... I guess third round next year is all we've got left ... if there's someone we like in that 40-50 mark and don't want to risk them not getting to the last draft selection.

 

[Orange Agent]

I think Essendon screwed our night so Caruso has taken his bat and ball and gone home

 

[Giant Strides]

I still rate Jack Carroll, Zavier Maher, Caleb Poulter, Eddie Ford, Brandon Walker, Isiah Winder, Brodie Lake, Tom Highmore, Jack Ginnivan, Cam Fleeton, Cody Brand ... see if they're still on the board when our very late remaining picks come up. Perhaps we're prepared to snag a bargain slider?

EDITed to remove those selected after this post!

We may be looking to bring in some SPP players as well, I could realistically see a few types we'd target slide out of the draft

 

[Giant Strides]

And could Adrian rate Liam Kolar or Jackson Callow as tall options who might be available late?

I'm expecting pies to pick Kolar, so Callow might be someone we target but we don't usually go for that sort
