Analysis 2025 Draft watch

[Aphrodite]

 

[Stamos]

When they said we'd been fielding calls Id have thought there'd be a better offers

There weren’t any F1 offers for 9 or 11.

 

[sweethoney]

So, we are holding out for 38 for an Ison bid?
Jeez he is falling
Good opportunity for an FTW approach for young Jack to rip in

Hopefully Phillipou is there at 38 and crows saints or port come calling

 

[KohPhi]

Austin needs to go. He has no imagination. Giving away picks like they are skittles.

Send a stern email to the club, I reckon..

 

[teddy-hopkins]

Getting a F2 (in a far stronger drat) for pick 28 was an outstanding result. We could only do it because the rest of the comp have let Ison slide.

As I said earlier- I would think the rest of the comp wondered just what the fek WC were doing bidding on Dean at 3 so have let Ison slide.

We lost a pick in the teens thanks to WC but have now gotten back a F2.

 

[carlton_99]

We survive another

 

[Chism]

Not Ison!

 

[Brezsa]

I don’t understand why it is a secret to the view who the bid is on? Is it an attempt at fake excitement?

 

[passmark]

My only concern is that our team didn't do enough diligence on this part of the draft because we were blinkered to Dean and Ison.

I would say there’s absolutely zero chance of this.

You’ve got a recruiting team being watched over by a former recognised list guru and we’ve just punted our footy manager for a hard head.

Everyone will be absolutely 100% focused.

 

[reg_lower91]

Nah, bids after 37 is just "give up your next pick"

Ah I didnt know this... lets hope he slides some more picks then

 

[marcmurphy3]

Pies could have knocked out syndey and westcoast picks before their next pick. Surprised they didnt

 

[Mondyboy]

In a strong draft that's not a smart list management decision imo

We disagree on this. I want Cody. But I don't deny that we are being royally screwed.

 

[BigBreakfast]

It's a weird part of the coverage

 

[El Topo]

that's a proper collingwood name right there

 

[reg_lower91]

I don’t understand why it is a secret to the view who the bid is on? Is it an attempt at fake excitement?

Perhaps to maintain some suprise for the player whose name is being read out?

 

[RPCB]

An academy player not matched?

 

[Coops93]

Austin needs to go. He has no imagination. Giving away picks like they are skittles.

Nonsense.

Without these trades 9 and 11 would've been gone matching pick 3. We traded and got more picks. Traded back again, and got more picks.

We are drafting this yr but also building a draft profile for next in Walker.

This is a supposedly weak draft. Taking our FS and academy picks and bulking for next year is the sound strategy.

 

[BigBreakfast]

Cool pick for Handbaggers

 

[Opium]

If we're taking a small forward and Ison i wonder if we're even targeting another KPF?

 

[Brezsa]

Perhaps to maintain some suprise for the player whose name is being read out?

I think it’s insulting to the viewer. The coverage instead of filler could be “so the choice Brisbane have to make here is if they give up pick X & Y for this player”

Would probably help explain to the viewer the bidding system and show what’s been given up as the coverage glazes over that and unless you are like us nutters, you aren’t sitting here going oh we just lost pick X & pick Y slide back 5 spots

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Who declared Dean a bust? I'm stating that key defenders are normally picked outside of the top 10. Like I stated it will be interesting to see their careers unfold

He's playing alongside a former #1 key defender next year. In no way was Weitering ever going to go anywhere but #1. Let's not cast doubt on his value. He's got it.

 

[HereComesJuddy]

Austin needs to go. He has no imagination. Giving away picks like they are skittles.

Plenty of negative posters on here need to go too.

This is meant to be a time to celebrate the kids coming to our club

 

[Coops93]

Of course Geelong get another brother.

 

[Mondyboy]

I don’t understand why it is a secret to the view who the bid is on? Is it an attempt at fake excitement?

Yes.

 

[gandaal]

Hibbins-Hargreaves must be a massive tool off the field. Jevan we already knew was a tool.

 

[agro]

We lost a pick in the teens thanks to WC but have now gotten back a F2.

Feels like losing the 20 cents my dad gave me to get some snacks at the tuckshop, and finding 5 cents instead.
