& Addinsall described as the best pure mid in the draft.

Add to that midfield Allan (Yeo 2.0), Gross (Treloar), Reid (GOAT), & Hewett (Kerr) and we have the greatest midfield in the making.

 

[Goroyals22]

 

[Cuzz09]

Addinsall sounds like a medication for ADHD

 

[TY24]

Im getting rather emotional now. That was meant to be Harley giving to sharp.

Now harley is giving the jumper to some family who made him fat and a 200cm ruck who there is nothing in common with. This is photo has the potential of going the worst with 3 leaving the club

I'm not watching and It's rather gloomy day. Even more gloomy then last preseason where we ended up with 1 win.

The club I know and love has jumped the shark today.

 

[pantskyle]

Would it be in our interest not to bid on Harry Dean and encourage Carlton to hold their picks?

Pick 13 could be two picks better off if they don't trade them.

It's not just us that will bid, so would each team after us.

The Dean bid sounds like a threat to try and get them to trade pick 9 to us. Maybe we’ve made the threat and now need to carry through so that teams take us seriously in the future.
It would make more sense to bid on Patterson and let the Blues picks slide rather than bid on Dean from a strategy point of view.
Unless we have something lined up with the Dons that is

 

[WCE_Phill]

Thank God draft day is here. What a roller-coaster the past 2 months has been.

Trust in Massey and co

 

[Keys]

Thredgold would be the best fit with Harry Edwards as far as KPDs go.

I’d be inclined to tell Geelong the price is their F1 and F3 for our F2 and F4. There will likely be another 3 picks in between after GCS and Lions trade them out.

I can’t see who Gold Coast or Brisbane can trade with to get more points -between them and Carlton most of the picks in the twenties are already in their collective hands

I’m cracking a beer early today and watching the draft and this thread, don’t let me down.

 

[plays tall 1]

These comments by Duursma appear to confirm that he has been playing predominantly in defence, not as a mid, and that initially he was frustrated by that but then accepted it.

 

[Weshi]

Does CDT have a nickname other than CDT?

Doesn't roll off the tongue

The problem is he has been called CDT for so long most of us have forgotten his real name!

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Should we start a closest to the pin on total number of posts at midnight tonight? Currently at ~6,700.

Fair chance we are pushing towards 8,000 by then.

 

[kokedoodledoo]

Cal reporting Essendon might offer 5/6 and 9 for 2. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Might grant us a Farrow, Cummings or Sharp and Schubert at 13 in addition to Duursma

 

[plays tall 1]

Sharp is a David Mundy clone in my opinion. Just my two cents worth

I think more Dane Swan, replete with the stylistically awkward gait. I think that gait is part of the reason his athleticism is dismissed, as it was with Swan.

We know what happened next.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Cal reporting Essendon might offer 5/6 and 9 for 2. What’s everyone’s thoughts?

Might grant us a Farrow, Cummings/Sharp and Schubert at 13

They'll definitely come with a late offer. 2 on its own for 5 and 9 would be hard to say no to

 

[ghostbat12]

Hawks and GWS might be swapping first rounders. GWS want Pickett.

Phoenix Gothard not working out for them I guess.

Get over it. Harley made himself fat. Hes a big boy

 

[Roobs321]

hopefully there was a no-bid clause tucked away in one of those Brisbane trades

This is what most of us are hoping for.
2 & 13 for 5 & 9.

 

[Jumpoff Joey]

I'd be asking for a F2, and they have a deal

1 - Duursma
5 - Cumming
9 - Sharp
13 - Grilj/Dovaston/Schubert or Farrow

 

[Patron]

Get up its draft day fellas. Get excited we've finally made it and we are going to bring in our biggest haul of talent ever!

Picks 1 and 2 are sounding almost locked in. Williams we are likely to match. Here is what our U25 team could look like assuming those players are drafted to help put ourselves in the clubs shoes for the other picks.



This leaves us with some obvious needs.

Inside Mid - Hall, Gross aren't the best candidates going around in a rebuilding team. Duursma is every chance of not developing an inside game, and Harley needs help.

Ideally what we use 13 on, with prime candidates being Cumming, Sharp, Grilj, Farrow, although we would likely need to trade up for all of those. Addinsall if GC don't match has been predicted and Greeves/phillipou are players we could take a little later.
NGA/FS options - Banfield and Evans, although they might not give much more hope in this position than our current crop.

KPD/Tall - We have a bit of time here given we have young and edwards who are only a little over 25, but it's an obvious need in terms of quality. The clubs plans for the Archer Reid and the ruck in the future could impact, with my suspicion being the club doesn't think it's as big a need as I do.

Would we really take CDT at 2 and use 13 on a tall? Candidates would be Schubert and Thredgold, Curtin if we take somebody late to rookie. Would be interesting if a Ludowyke could come into the frame for us in the 30s/40's if we have a pick there. The club may very well rate somebody like that more than banfield/evans and are willing to take the risk on the latter with a live pick on a tall.
NGA/FS Options - D Shanahan, 2026 draft.

Outside mids/Wing/kickers - We've tried a few players in these positions the last few years and it hasn't gone so well. We need somebody to make a wing their own and current prospects Davis, Dewar, Maric, Grego are anything but guarentees. Pick 13 could have some highly rated players like Lindsay, O Taylor and Barker available.
NGA/FS Options - Banfield

Merry Draftmas.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Def not.

A 3 pick downgrade for a 4 pick upgrade is rubbish

 

[kokedoodledoo]

This is what most of us are hoping for.
2 & 13 for 5 & 9.

I’d be disappointed if we traded 13 in addition. Maybe 2, 34 for 5, 9

 

[Cuzz09]

2 for 5 and 9 and with pick 2 Ess take Sharp
