Spoiler: LIVE DRAFT ORDER (2023 Draft Order)

Not saying we shouldn't recruit him because he's a dick, just saying don't get your hopes up because I don't think the club has changed quite that much...

In that the club will be concerned he’s a dickhead and won’t recruit him?

Matt Rosa doesn't start until December, so unless Scott and Vozzo are completely sold on him and overruled Dodoro/RFK/Keane, it's unlikely that our recruiting would take a complete u-turn for this draft.

If I remember right, Scott's only real influence over the draft last year was to encourage us to take Tsatas, and with his whole thing around professionalism he'd have to either see a professional kid, or the makings of a professional adult.

DeGoey isn't a dick so much as a dickhead.

Without being facetious, is there a material difference?

The former can be unpleasant but they're not necessarily stupid... Luke Parker, Sam Mitchell, Devon Smith, Steven May.

The latter is more like every second idiot on those 'EPIC FAILS' YouTube videos, doing dumb shit because they didn't think, potentially dangerous/illegal/disgusting/morally questionable.

Ah, is the following the latter!

Agreed. Use to see him at the local cafe occasionally a few years back - seemed happy to chat to the other patrons and would give a little nod of the head to say hi as walking past. Remembered when Peter Sumich started at Souths and they were playing Swan Districts - a fight broke out at Bassendean and next thing Suma ended up caught in the tangle between Jacko and Danny Penny (Martin Pike type) - Suma said to himself "Jacko can handle this I am out of here".

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

I think the ranking order of players is basically: good bloke --> bit of a dick ---> dickhead ---> shit bloke.

Illustrative examples could include: Jobe Watson (good bloke), Beej Goddard (bit of a dick), Steven May

[P Money]

I've heard Caddy is a bit of a dick

I'm sold!

 

[faible]

Curnow was 191cm when he was drafted and is now 194. Caddy who plays like him, and currently 192cm, could end up taller than him with more flexibility to his game. If Caddy is available we simply must take him asap.

Or he might stay at 192cm.

 

[Milanista28]

Bloke on BB has a 'mate' who thinks we're very interested in Logan Morris, interviewed him a few times. 191cm forward, definitely plays taller than that from the highlights I've seen, seems to have really long arms and has a frame that will fill out nicely.

Sounds like a typical Essington pick. Since it's BB, it's probably untrue which is a good thing

I'll get them to make a BF account, then they can post it here to be more credible.

Sounds very Essendon, as eth-dog said. And probably ends up in defence with those gadget arms. A lot like Mason Redman...

 

[geelongrecruit5]

He might not even go, there has been some negative reports on him and has slipped considerably. I think he’s a genuine second rounder at best.

Your focus on Logan Morris on Bigfooty this year has been a little concerning to say the least

Too late, they're tainted BY BB already

 

[Milanista28]

Yeah if we took him It would be at 31 or 35, I don't know anything about him other than his 3 minute highlights package, so a little bit of an expert.

Is Mr Morris based in Geelong by any chance?

Geez, I've got 10k posts over there

You're the exception proving the rule though

I reckon we have a few that go across both forums, and a few defectors that left there to post here too We keep the good ones and send the rest back

 

[Razzle Dazzlers]

Or he might stay at 192cm.

Wasn’t curnow a bit of a dick also in his draft year. Like had a drink driving thing or something if I remember correctly.

We need someone who can light up so you deal with a little bit of dickness. As long as it becomes just swagger we actually need a bit of that.

Kind of like The package but he’s an unserious athlete.

I started there. Came here and then never went back

Bombertalk posters suck the most amount of doodle.

Bombertalk posters suck the most amount of doodle.

This all feels like trying to decide between Los del Rio and Los del Mar’s Macarena. They both suck but are perversely enjoyable while you’re experiencing them
