Finishing second to last a lot of folks were hung up all month on the fact we should be picking in the elite talent bracket ignoring the reality that we came away with the 7&8th best kids in the draft. 100% not in the range for the “lay down guns” in any draft.

I hope more people comment under every afl post to highlight the inequality.
It was mentioned during Rhy Gieschen speech to the media.
 
yeah, same, G will fine, a good soldier for the club, but just a bit of an empty feeling after going through the death ride all year to get the extra high pick.

you really want a sky's-the-limit potential player at 4. meanwhile, efc fans will be having an absolute belter of a night, on our's and Dee's behalf.

If we wanted a Grijl-type, we could have traded down. If the trade wasn't there, you change your plans.
Why would you change your plans if Grilj was 2nd on your list?
Pick 4 or whatever is just a number.
 
Like everyone else I’ve consumed a fair few Grlj and Cumming videos over the last 8 hours and what I’m loving most is their hard edged approach and defensive / tackling efforts.

Both just seem no nonsense types and crack in to get the job done.

Good times ahead! 💛🖤
Wait, you didn't sleep?

We all got caught up in Robey hype,

Not all of us. I don’t watch any U18s or anything but knowing what the club is like, he didn't seem like someone we’d take, I even said I think we’ll go with players we’ve been watching since U16s and that’s what we did. It was even more obvious after Rhy’s interview on Gettable

Best solution to this and its an easy fix - I think it was Ross Lyon suggested - no academy picks or F/S in the first round. If a player is good enough for the first round they can be picked by anyone with that pick. Priority picks can also f off.

I'm happy with our picks so far but they could've looked a lot different - we might've ended up with CDT and uwland with the above in place
 
Fun draft all round. Happy with our picks albeit still a little shocked.

Think that all but confirms all the trade down rumours up until the last minute. If Grij was our man, it made complete sense to trade down with Essendon at 9(13) to grab him and gain the extra pick. Obviously couldn’t get them to bite and took him anyway. Big sign of confidence in the kid.

The late Farrow interest probably came about because we were covering all our bases in case we were picking at that 9 spot.

No more cockamamie trade proposals.

Not talking about the players we have drafted but more about the draft as a whole but anyone complaining about the new rules coming in next year regarding Father sons & academy picks can get in the bin.

The fact we were the 2nd worst performed team this year and our first actual player pick was pick 7 is a ****ing disgrace.
Agree.
Now let's wait for next year when our FS players get bid on and we can't match because of the changed points system.

Bombers and Blues have been winning the trade period and/or draft for 20+ years … they’ve got 3 x finals wins and 1 PF finish in total between them in that time.

Let others ‘win’ the draft whilst we win more
Bombers took 3 players in Robey, Sharp and Farrow with below average speed .... Farrow has elite agility .... but these boys are slower than Taranto and Hopper.
Yeah or tak medium defender e a hybrid defender in Max K.

Not a bad option after passing on XT
Great call ... Max was the better performed medium defender than XTaylor at the Nationals
 
Said it all along that I would be very shocked if we picked Robey. So it turned out. Richmond did amazing at not revealing much, but from what I knew, it’s not the way they operate to take a kid like that.
So are you happy with what we did Bob? With two more to be added tonight, with some decent talent still available, I reckon we’re going to come out of this draft well.
 
I'll admit I wanted robey. After watching the highlights of the 2 we picked up, they just look way more dynamic and agile. Robey reminds me a bit of josh caddy now
