Opinion 2025 Picks 7* and 8* – who do you want?

[Scythe]

Alright, back on track. I've whipped up a quick consensus again – will add the missing ones as they're made available.

 

[I Love Lamb]

If we have no interest in Sharp then why wouldn't the Bummers just let him slide to the Blues pick?

Cumming/Farrow/Sharp would be a good haul for them.

Rumours have them saving their third selection for Dovaston but I don't see the need for a small forward. They have got Kako. Sweid is tied to them. And as long as Next Gen Academies remain, they will get access to a good quality small forward or Arab descent every other year.

It is a bit strange they want a small forward I agree, also the Davey boys are still around as well aren’t they?

 

[MarcMaverick]

Will be interesting to see who we get. Taylor seems pretty good at keeping his cards to his chest and not leaking.

It's tomorrow night isn't it?

Will Essendon select who the Phantom draft predicts? Will Richmond, Hawthorn, Carlton or Melbourne do likewise?

Tune in on the next episode of Draft Ball Z

 

[Crusty Demon]

If Richmond take Cumming

Essendon take Sharp and Farrow.

Melbourne land Taylor and Nairn

If Richmond take Taylor Essendon take Cumming and Sharp.

Melbourne take Nairn and I have no idea.

Surely this is how it plays out. We are just gonna miss that window of the top tier kids unfortunately. Be surprised if any of these slipped down. I hope we land Pickett somehow but highly doubt it.

Yeah but atleast we got back into the draft. Had we kept Goodwin we'd still have Trac and Oliver and wouldn't have a pick in the top 20, unless we some traded in. Next year I suspect we'll have a good crack with our first pick.

Yep. In a far better position moving forward. Just a shame we couldn't get a pick in that top tier. Let's hope JT knows what he's doing this draft and we get good role players. I think next year's draft hopefully we find a star.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Mich0 goes into hibernation after the draft yeah? It's been such a busy offseason posting and worrying about things that he surely needs a rest.

Na he can also melt about the rookie draft, preseason draft, train-on players etc.

[Grimey Sylvia]

Best case for me is that we take Farrow and then someone wants to trade up to get ahead of Essendon for Sharp - only happens if they play funny buggers

or someone wants to get ahead of Ess/hawthorn for Dovaston and then we grab Nairn and some draft captial. I wouldn't mind a pick on the 20's with what looks like still being on the board.

Just wait until a player we passed on is reported to be training the house down.

It's a shame but you never know. Hopefully Nairn is better than expected, Farrow looks like a decent pick up as well.

Or Danster his training recaps about how slow someone we drafted looks

 

[Scythe]

38 minutes left in the poll before your preferences are locked and we revisit them in a few years

I usually do because I’m on the piss out in the sun somewhere without a care in the world….until as bluelegs said, we hear of Dovaston and Grlj training the house down while Nairn is on light duties.

Keen for the rational reactions when Fox Footy puts this on the screen as we call Nairn's name out later

That's awesome. Sick of every draftee being compared to Dangerfield and Dustin Martin.

 

[Dancing Potato]

No rest for the Miched

This is some of your finest work, All.

 

[Scythe]

Final updates made to tracker (including late mail etc). Don't have final HS rankings as I'm not paying for that shit, so they've been taken out.

Pretty sure there were some melts when Windsor was compared to Justin McInerney on the Fox broadcast IIRC
