Ford and Winder I just don’t understand.
This is why I’m a construction worker and not SFA about this all

Trew hasnt been picked yet either

 

[calder_daddy]

Don’t know what’s slower tonight.
The actual draft or BF

I don’t know as much about him

 

[bellpark]

Love that Steven’s is a cats fan and Tom Stewart is his idol. Good apprentice night with each pick given we have bought in the olders players in trade.

There's some great commentary on the slowness of the draft on Twitter

 

[Grimoz]

Ford to North

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Things I didn't want in the draft:

Trading out 2021 capital
Another ruck after we picked up Tsapatolis
Another 190cm defender

That said all the kids we picked up look worth a shot. Heath looks like he could be a star if we develop him right. Neale looks a monster. Stevens at the pick looks like a fair call.

I am going to get real impatient waiting to watch some 2s games next year

 

[rocker_oz33]

I liked the looked Errol FU sid-knee.

Carroll looked good aswell.

Ed Ford also dropped.

This one I don't mind, the more I think about it.

I just wish we'd kept our Future 1st and tried not to be too clever. With that said, we've drafted 3 firsts in the last two years, so, we can just trade in our future 1st from the '22 draft - such is the stupidness of the future pick system

Ford, Winder, Baldwin, Trew, Heath, Walsh, Fleeton, I don't think I've ever seen this many highly rated names not get drafted prior to the 4th round. Ford and Winder gone now, but still a heap of talent left

after mumford?

 

[CatRiot]

You'd think with two young rucks on the list, plus Esava. It could be Fort's final year.

 

[Seeds]

wasnt vards more of a fwd/def in when drafted?

No he was a pure ruckman in the under 18s

 

[CatRiot]

Kangas do alright with those late medium forward picks - Zurhaar and Ford, that's a good medium size fleet up front.

 

[Grimoz]

You'd think with two young rucks on the list, plus Esava. It could be Fort's final year.

Fort just signed for 2 more years so no it wont

Fort signed a 2-year deal just a couple of weeks back; doubt the club looks to move him on next year that being the case

Stanley on 1-year deals and with his injury history may be closer to the end than Fort

Who's Heath?

Lol, someone my autocorrect preferred to holmes apparently

after mumford?

Simpson was drafted in 2007

Mumford was rookie listed in 2007, but was 21 - so not totally a young ruck either

 

[Two Planks]

Maybe happy to trade out future 1st so that when we get a free agent like Merrett the other club just accepts the compo.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Bombers beening a bunch of campaigners in picking walker and roili ...no way that was going to happen.
They like beening kents.

 

[God Mode]

Jumping ahead a bit, but what type of players do we think the club will look for in next years draft? Off the top of my head a Key forward and rebounding half back flank?

 

[Grimoz]

Lol, someone my autocorrect preferred to holmes apparently

As long as he's a good bloke

 

[Grimoz]

So pick 59 is the last pick, really thought West Coast would have grabbed Trew with 62, probably hoping to rookie him.

 

[cats_09]

 

[Shadow89]

Oof...not the night I was hoping for.

If we were going to trade our Future 1st, I wanted Henry. Would have even done our Future 1st and Essendon Future 2nd to make that happen. Sucks to watch him to go to the filth, but hopefully he heads back down the highway in 2 years when they've imploded.

Holmes does not fill me with confidence, but Neale absolutely does. Stephens is a typical Wells special, and will most likely be a good ready to go player ala Stewart.

C+ for our draft, but when I think of how our draft could have been -

Future 1st and 2nd for Henry and a pick
33 for Neale
47 for Ford

it makes me a little sad

In better news, we could get Bruhn and Fleeton back home in 2 years for a late 1st, as I reckon neither will get a game and will be happy to leave
