Game Day The 2025 Draft Day Thread

[UseR2006]

And a song to sing as we watch,

Hey Matty Clarke by Kevin (Random260) Wilson :

Hey Matty Clarke you campaigner, where the **** is Sharp
I’ve looked at all these other spuds and there’s no one that I like
I wrote you a ****ing letter and posted about it twice
You dopey ****ing Richmond fart, you forgot my ****ing Sharp

If I wanted a stupid ruckman type, I would’ve bloody asked
And this half back flank and temu mid, you can shove right up your arse
You’ve stuffed the bloody order up, it’s enough to make you spew
But it’s not just me who’s snakey, SGIO is dirty too

Next time I come to see ya, I’m going to punch you in the guts
And I’ll sack the other recruiting knobs and kick Toddy in the nuts
You just wait 'til next year when you go back to the draft
And me and me little GIO come stomping through the door
And we'll say, yeah, you wait for it

Hey Pyke and Woosh you smell his breath
And check his bloodshot eyes
And don't listen to him eagles fans 'cause he tells ****ing lies
He's just a ****ing useless campaigner and he's not even very bright
'Cause the stupid ****in' w***er, forgot me ****in' Sharp

Hey Matty Clarke you campaigner, where the **** is Sharp
I’ve looked at all these other spuds and there’s no one that I like
I wrote you a ****ing letter and posted about it twice
You dopey ****ing Richmond fart, you forgot my ****ing Sharp

It's funny how it interrupted the lyrics XD

From the talk about being allergic to the contest, is Lindsay somewhat Polec like? Elite kick with little contested game?

 

[Elite Pete]

So we sold Ryan for a bid that didn’t get up…..

 

[bs9594]

Woosha looks like he’s about to walk up behind someone’s chair and choke them out

I enjoy clarke trying to clean his eye whilst being covered by the fox logo

 

[ziad]

Woohoo, need another backliner to add to all the other ones!

But this one can kick. Thats new

 

[KBLT]

I wonder if we don't rate 26 2nds because of Tassie

 

[beatlesmith]

The amateurism of this league.

“The West Coast select”

“Josh Linday’s”

 

[jdisc]

duursma just hit the 67 in an interview oh no

 

[twce13]

GC landing 4 top 20 picks after making a semi final is ridiculous. Thanks AFL

and got petracca. lol

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Phew, glad they took Lindsay with that pick. Was worried, we'd take a random after that trade.

Lindsay at one stage was the only player I wanted, he looked so composed and didn't take safe kicks, really bit off kicks that open up the game. Beautiful user.

 

[twce13]

duursma just hit the 67 in an interview oh no

lol my son new fav player.

 

[Knifey Spoony]

I hope on Friday Woosha ia straight down to BCF for some tents for Harper, Kenh and McGlade next year. Precious points down the drain.

 

[bzparkes]

So we desperately need a midfield injection and take 3 gold-lined picks to the draft... end up with a ruckman and another half back flanker?

You know we're likely to have added 6 midfielders by this time next week, right?

 

[Keys]

Broadly speaking we’ve traded Barrass and Ryan for Young and Lindsay

 

[PepperTom32]

More bids placed on other players by us than the last few years combined. I'm fine with it.

 

[stylish]

Didn't someone comment yesterday that "old mate Bondy used to say 'if all the good midfielders are gone then take the elite kicking HBF' "
If he's right then isn't that what WC have just done?

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

We now have pick 29 and 34, and pushed Freo's pick out to 25 currently. So matching Williams is now much easier.

 

[twce13]

its an excellent haul, weve added a lot of talent.

 

[quackish]

I melted just before but honestly, it's okay, WD, CDT, and Lindsay is huge. The Saints F2 for Lindsay I can accept if he turns out to be good. Reckon he's better than Nairn or most other players that would be picked after him, and Hawks almost certainly would've taken him.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

every chance that f2 would have been eaten by a harper banfield bid next year

Feels like it's a resource we could have been more industrious with.
Future picks for (realistically) marginal present gains seems like, and has often been shown to be, folly. Didn't think it was in our ethos tbh, but hey gotta back our evaluation I suppose.

 

[KBLT]

No match!

 

[boondy]

F2 swap
Not sure if its ours or saints but we get hawks back . .

 

[mehow2g]

Not a bad haul, we will need to go back to the draft and trade aggressively next year again, this won't be enough.

 

[Dylan82]

Bulldogs place a bid on L.Carmichael.

Sydney do not match at 21.

 

[domad33]

Some BF nuffy this morning did a mock draft and had GC match all 4 of their NGAs.

If us rando's could do the numbers how the feck do our recruiters getting paid not know the math?

Considering we traded a F2 to make this play we 100% intended to nab Addinsall.

Why we didn't bid 1) Uwland, 2) Patterson, then 3) Dean to squeeze GC points even more has to be a miss play.

 

[TOA.]

Wonderful.

We are a mess.
