Analysis 2025 Draft watch

Philipou must have interviewed really badly

 

[BigBreakfast]

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

Why would we? Dean, HOF, Jacob, Young in reserve
We are ok there now

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The concept is a good idea. Hawthorn drop two places in the draft and get a mid range second rounder we lose our pick completely and get a mid 30s pick back. See the difference.

Hawthorn's fortune does not mean all clubs need to achieve that sort of deal. Remember that it happened in a hotly contested part of the draft, and desperate things happen there.

Obtained Dean. Obtain Ison. Load up to make sure we obtain 1CW, we need collateral to be innovative in 2026, it makes sense. Fine by me, success. An extra player we have eyes on who may have slid tonight is a bonus if we get one.

The issue is none of these are natural key position forwards.

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

Because what if Pies didn't rate the Syd and WCE players and risked bringing them into their club if Syd and WCE declined to match? Clubs don't bid just for the sake of it, to big of a risk to bring a player they don't actually want. As we have seen this draft period, 3 clubs have already declined to match bids.

Unearned arrogance isn't an attractive trait. Plus his brother has turned out to be a dud.

 

[Stamos]

If I have my calculations right I think 44 covers a bid at 40. Small deficit at 39.

Once you hit 37 it’s just next pick to match, points are irrelevant

 

[Beyond Blue]

Got in Suns 26' 2nd rounder for 28. Two 1sts and Two 2nds for next year.

I’ve got a feeling we are going to need as much ammo as possible to get Cody as the DVI formula changes are going to make packaging picks for FS and NGA players far harder.

 

[BigFrizz36]

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

Jacob Weitering says hi.

 

[Revenant1995]

To get through to SK at pick #40?

 

[SurreyBlue]

Now we can get two clear picks at where we are, including Ison.

Coops have you seen what Hawthorn has done. Given this years draft was week, teams would have had to give up more to get into the 1st round this year.

We went and traded pick 21 to hawthorn only to give it all up to Sydney. They were so desperate for Curnow we didn’t need to give them anything back.

And thats fine but why didnt we use the pick 28 when there were some good players still left. We got GC 2026 2nd round but they will finish at the top end of the ladder next year.

We will see how it all goes. But i think we needed a KPP player to balance out the list a bit. If one of them goes down it will be another miserable year. Not that a KPP will make a big difference straight away, but McKay is ageing and injury prone.

McGovern is on his way out.

We need to get as much talent in the door as possible.

Jacob Weitering says hi.

One out of how many drafts?

 

[Brezsa]

WCE out makes sense, they are in a similar position with Williams as we are with Ison

 

[ESKIE]

Why do they need like 10 people all standing around ..surely they have plan A B C….

 

[Blue Ratts]

So someone who has a different opinion on a trade is a clown?

And.....Clowns have opinions too

 

[BigBreakfast]

Sorry, misread your original post
Still reckon we are ok forward
H will own it Huddo will get a crack, Kemp, Hayward plus the smalls.
We are ok there too
I want mids who can run and use it...

 

[Mondyboy]

The Hawk / West Coast trades shows there’s no more value.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

Hawks will take Greeves here I reckon...

EDIT: Nope. Jack Dalton... interesting

 

[carlton_99]

Three more picks. Would be incredible.

 

[passmark]

Hawks aggressive

 

[ABigOlDoofus]

Surely we don't dodge a bid and get to pick at 38, right? Right?

 

[Opium]

So someone who has a different opinion on a trade is a clown?

Let's all give out participation awards so we don't hurt anyone's feelings for having a different view.

 

[ESKIE]

Dalton looks like a gun
