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

 

[DRK_13]

Cody Curtin gone as well. Brutal

 

[darksquare]

Trying to be positive - do we now take Walley?

 

[Underdog]

Meh. Every year people lose their shit over X player not being picked and every year that player ends up a spud.

This is utterly irrational. People melting over late draft picks just because they are tied to our club. Don't see people doing this over mediocre prospects any other year.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Silly list management bites us as expected. Cripps to the rookie list surely a no brainer. Bye Banners.

Thought he looked a good footy player in the WAFL games of his I saw.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

This is a case of we have hit rock bottom so hard, we are just now failing upwards instead

 

[Proeagle]

Crap .. matching Tylah . This night went south

Always expected to match Tylah and glad we did. The mistake was not having enough positions and picking this Allen who cost us one of Evans/Banfield.

 

[Truckosaurus]

At least we'll have pick 1 next year to select the best kid that isn't tied to an academy or Father-Son, unless we trade it for some Richmond spud.

 

[new breed]

Brisbane going gang-busters on WA talent late in draft ....

 

[bzparkes]

Cody Curtin gone as well. Brutal

Why? Has a worse turning circle than the QE2.

 

[Dylan82]

Meanwhile Swans take B.Cootee at 42

And Lions take C.Curtin at 43


Fck this shit.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Silly list management bites us as expected. Cripps to the rookie list surely a no brainer. Bye Banners.

Why not Barnett so we can get Evans?

What’s missing here ?

 

[wce_all_da_way]

Well I hope the club learns to not play nice going forward.

 

[FatPizza]

FUUUU saints

No. This is a problem created by us. Well done Saints for taking advantage of our incompetence.

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

Meh. Every year people lose their shit over X player not being picked and every year that player ends up a spud.

Yeah na… we have been getting most of the spuds recently because we’re too stupid and weak, we give up free high picks and get reamed every year with our trading.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

To be fair, Waterman's the only one who's come good.

Well we didn’t get a chance to see if Charlie was gonna be any good cuz we haven’t picked him. He’s looked pretty good in his local games so far.

 

[illegaleagle]

Get rid of Massey incompetent

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Boy that is deflating losing a father-son to St Kilda like that. Time to get off BigFooty for a few days as its going to be too melty in here for my liking and there's more to life than the draft.

Bring on the preseason already!

 

[Elite Pete]

Trying to be positive - do we now take Walley?

Cat b if he lasts

 

[Lia]

Is what it is, clearly the club was less fussed about these players than some of us were.

 

[twce13]

In the glaring dearth of midfielders on our list, how many true mids have we recruited this draft?

it just shows how amateur the club is. i genuinely think what weve seen from these guys recently suggests they have seriously nfi in that room.

 

[eagles rule]

staggering that people think it's a one man show and not collective decisions within the club

It’s like a broken record the whining

 

[dinnaz]

Curtin too. Imagine the only year in 165 drafts, where we have underdeveloped WA guys in 3rd rounder range and we just dont want them.

 

[Bacchus]

This club is a bunch of fools.

Brisbane plundering WA

 

[unty11]

So we could only match one bid?

 

[bzparkes]

This is utterly irrational. People melting over late draft picks just because they are tied to our club. Don't see people doing this over mediocre prospects any other year.

I just want the club to pick who they rated as the best players without locking them into NGA/FS picks.

It appears they did, whether people agree with it or not.
