[JT_the_Man]

Seems odd to call him post draft.

Maybe he said we’ll take him if he’s around at our next pick.

 

[citizen-erased]

Maybe he said we’ll take him if he’s around at our next pick.

Or in 2 years so he can play in front of those big crowds

 

[TheGrizz]

Seems odd to call him post draft.

It didn't say he called him, just that they had a conversation. They might have crossed paths after the first round doing media stuff.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Seems odd to call him post draft.

Not really, it seems like the courteous thing to do if you've put a lot of time into a guy you ultimately don't pick.

His response is pretty funny though. Seems like the sort of character to push himself simply as a '* you' to all the clubs who didn't pick him earlier.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Seems odd to call him post draft.

Not really, maintaining the relationship is a small but vital step in future recruiting efforts.

Ending this chapter on amicable turns is much better than having him feel scorned and remembering that 4 years down the track when we're trying to sound him out for a trade.

[andleanback]

Rookie list is full (6 spots), we have to put them on the senior list, so PSD it is.

I doubt we use a pick anyway tbh

 

[andleanback]

Seems odd to call him post draft.

Probably wanted to come to essendon badly. Keep the relationship good, never know what can happen in the future

 

[TheGrizz]

You have to have 36 on the senior list. We have to use a pick tomorrow in the PSD.

 

[BrunoV]

He looks and plays exactly like him, I really don't see how its that controversial.

Maybe he should have been a father son, for us.

 

[naraku]

Eyre ?

I still think Szybowski is worth a look.

 

[Keystone agony]

The Pou is going to carry the saints to a finals win against us in 6 years time isnt he, and when he kicks the sealer, give us an up yours

Where does it state this 36 rule, is it actually written anywhere?

I also thought i might have read theres an hour period post ND that you can upgrade more players

 

[Zach Package]

Reckon other clubs have had really good drafts but they just made good picks. Given the amount of machinations, reliance on other clubs and divergent outcomes possible for us we truly have struck gold tonight.

There is a world out there where we walk away with Tsatas, Davey, Davey and maybe someone like Ethan Phillips given we wanted some tall defensive cover. Fine, but not eye popping.

Now it’s Tsatas, Hayes, Davey, Davey, Munkara but not absorbing a list spot with a night to think over what we do with the last spot.

Would have got incredibly long odds on that 48 hours ago.

 

[citizen-erased]

Eyre ?

I still think Szybowski is worth a look.

Whilst not my first choices, im happy with how we drafted.

If we pick up eyre though, im burning the joint down. Tired of recycling guys we delist. I don't think one has ever come on after it.

I dont even think phillipou was the pick

Mackenzie is the better list need. Ginbey just behind him.
And humphrey looks like the guy everyone wants us to take.

Think tsatas has the bonus of being safe in his quality and having an edge on overall game impact.

Ah I thought we already had 36 taking 4 tonight.

 

[eth-dog]

We also could have promoted someone and not announced it. It's a very Essendon thing to do

If we did that and Munkara got bid on we would've missed out

Nope. Can have up to 38. You were so focused on the fact that there was a 36 player minimum that you forgot we could have 37 or 38.

Can only have 36 when you have 6 Cat A rooks

But maybe the AFL dont care about that with this regard

I actually think Martins been upgraded post draft

If we promoted someone else we'd only have 5 Cat A rookies.

We had 8 between Durham, Voss, D'Ambrosio, Menzie, Waterman, Martin, Wanganeen and Baldwin. We cut Waterman and promoted Durham. If we promoted someone else then we'd only have 5.

Yeh true and weve already confirmed no rookie picks?

That's an overly aggressive reply, all things considered.

Yes, if we had upgraded Nic Martin (or Baldwin etc) then we'd have senior spot 37/rookie spot 6 available, instead of senior spot 36 which can't be used on a rookie. This was an option that I have put forward several times, but there was never anything from the club to suggest that they had done that (I was looking out for it).

If anything, all indications were that they hadn't upgraded anyone else, when they announced all the other rookie news with Durham's upgrade and Menzie's re-signing, and again when they announced the list being finalised with Walla re-signing and Eyre delisted. All quite transparent dominoes falling, and announced as if that was everything there was to tell at the time, despite a need for good news over the last few months.


A better argument would be that I forgot the rookie upgrade period that started at 10pm and finished 20 minutes ago, which runs concurrently with the 3rd Delisted Free Agency signing period.

It wasn't aggressive at all.

I said we might have promoted someone else (let's say Martin as he's the most likely to have been promoted) to take us to 32/5/0 before the draft.

If we took Tsatas, Hayes, Davey x2 we get to 36. Allows us the space to add Munkara if he's bid on still.

 

[BombersDave]

Pretty sure they weren't promoting anyone so they could either match for Munkara or Cat B him if no bid and instead waited until after the draft and upgraded Martin. No picks tomorrow but 1 or 2 picks between the PSD or the MSD.
