[WalshistheGOAT]

NOW WE JUST GOTTA SURVIVE FREO

 

[Lukeblueboy]

Geez dean has a fair build on him already for a young key position kid

 

[Jimmae]

Come onnnnnnnn

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Watch freo bid

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

No bid by Geelong.

Freo to get through.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Yes, another doggo!!!

 

[marcmurphy3]

I reckon Freo might bid. We have 2 picks before their next pick (after 25), that they can wipe/push back.

 

[Pablito]

Freo were linked by Cal, would be surprised if this isnt it here.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Get past Freo Ison!

 

[Ninja Worrier]

Fffff cats, good get for them

 

[Jimmae]

Freo will give the Eagles a clip first

If so turns their 29 into 25 and sends 34 back to 35, so only a few picks nudged, none of ours

 

[El Topo]

no way freo let us off the hook

 

[gandaal]

Barker to Geelong. Geez thats not good.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I reckon Freo might bid. We have 2 picks before their next pick (after 25), that they can wipe/push back.

We'll only be using 1 more though. Have said from the get go we'll take 3 in total.

 

[SurreyBlue]

need to get through this pick.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Be West Coast
Really like Addinsall
Don't bid on Patterson
Trade a F2 to move up one spot
Bid on two GC players
GC have enough points to match both bids
F2 gone for nothing

Drafting masterclass.

Or they took a throw at the stumps with the Gold Coast Boys , didn't pay off but wanted Lindsay and thought that the Hawk's would take him. Lindsay looks a really good player.

 

[Pablito]

Maybe a Tylah Williams bid also

The Blues are set to shake up draft night, with Carlton to trade both its first-round picks — 9 and 11 — given West Coast is expected to bid on gun father-son prospect Harry Dean as early as Pick 2 or 3. Essendon and North Melbourne are poised to acquire Carlton’s picks in swaps that would effectively see the Blues gather a wider range of selections and draft points, which would largely be used to match bids on Dean and NGA prospect Jack Ison. The Blues are set to shake up draft night, with Carlton to trade both its first-round picks — 9 and 11 — given West Coast is expected to bid on gun father-son prospect Harry Dean as early as Pick 2 or 3. Essendon and North Melbourne are poised to acquire Carlton’s picks in swaps that would effectively see the Blues gather a wider range of selections and draft points, which would largely be used to match bids on Dean and NGA prospect Jack Ison. Prior to the weekend, the Blues would’ve been hoping a Dean bid wouldn’t come until Pick 6 or 7. That would’ve seen the Blues’ Picks 9 and 11 essentially turn into Dean and a pick in the early teens, which they’d use to draft a open-pool player before an Ison bid. But Carlton would now require 2233 points to match a bid at Pick 2 or 1960 points to match a bid at Pick 3, with the latter more likely. Therefore, the worst case scenario is already unravelling, given Dean’s elevated stocks will effectively cost Carlton another first-round player. They’ll hope an Ison bid doesn’t come until, at the earliest, the second round.

We set up our draft based on the highlighted! We already had the necessary selections (pick 22 etc) which we could have used to get our boys and a pick in teens, and to get up to the shenanigans that the Hawks did!

We had the picks, we didn’t think we needed them, so we got rid of them!!!

Not sure what this proves, except that we were smart to ensure we covered an early bid

 

[Blue and Silver]

Damn those purple bastards.

Unless it's sweid

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Bid pending

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Maybe they bid on Williams here...

 

[carlton_99]

Apparently we are at fault for Eagles bidding so early...

 

[sweethoney]

Bid pending

 

[Blue__Balls]

If I'm Freo here, I'm calling Carlton and asking what they're prepared to pay for a swap. Wonder if we'd consider cashing in a future pick to get a selection before the Ison bid.

 

[katmanblue]

Any chance we bid on the WC kids if Ison slips?
