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

We need an internal investigation to figure how we let this happen, and heads need to roll.

 

[ghostbat12]

oh no, hidden superstars that no-one knows about except a couple on this board.

 

[Proeagle]

So we have a rookie list spot to fill?

Probably have train-ons for the next 6 months. Will lose the one we want to another club, then choose the second best on the eve of the season.

 

[Jootube]

So many draft experts on here, Hilarious. I think we put in a rule "every time you sook about a player not getting picked. If they get delisted, you get banned"

This isn't just any player mate, it's a dual Premiership Eagle's son who was BOG in the Colts GF who plays in a position of desperate need.
If there was ever slam dunk bid match, this was it.

And we didn't have enough list spots while Barnett unironically has 2 touches in the WAFL and Cripps fumbles another ball inside 50.

We get what we ****ing deserve at this point.

 

[ashstores]

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

That my friend is a very very optimistic hope.

 

[hbk2015]

So the Tom Mitchell rookie pick is now back on boys!!

 

[Big_Birdy]

We wet the bed about losing players to go home factor and wet the bed when players who have go home factor to us get drafted somewhere else.

An endless trail of urine

 

[Westend]

Sam Allen better be a gun

Not his fault the club the club is weak as piss

 

[xLeCrAs2x]

So we should've just given up players we rate higher to pick our NGA/FS instead?

No, we should’ve been smarter with list management and been more aggressive generally with trades, we bend over every year when we’re linked to an average player and always pay overs but accept under for our players.

That’s not even taking into consideration yesterdays stupidity of not bidding on Patterson- giving up a second rounder to move up a single spot without getting the target due to incompetence.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

A historically bad club having a list squeeze is absolutely laughable.

 

[Armoooo]

Did you guys run out of list spots or just not rate Banfield?

 

[Yeahnahmate]

So we should've just given up players we rate higher to pick our NGA/FS instead?

No, we clearly should have preserved draft options in a rebuild as opposed to extending list cloggers and landing in this mess

 

[FKASC]

So does this mean we can’t even utilise part of our compensation from the AFL (extra rookie spots)?

 

[ziad]

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.

Or rutrhlessly professional.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Maybe we can rookie fred at this stage?

 

[twce13]

We need an internal investigation to figure how we let this happen, and heads need to roll.

im hoping don pyke is looking around the room thinking WTF is this.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

People still defending the club like Barnett and a rookie are better options than literally anyone.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Did you guys run out of list spots or just not rate Banfield?

Nah, I can’t even with this shit

 

[twce13]

Maybe we can rookie fred at this stage?

curtin or fred

 

[boondy]

Wes Walley

 

[Shuestar13]

I’m not sure who will be running this “investigation”. I mean the CEO and Football boss are in the room there and would be across it all.

Maybe Gepp might have to save the day x

 

[Happy Mastenator]

curtin or fred

Curtin is gone to Brisbane

 

[bzparkes]

We don't need these people at the club. The decision makers need go, time to year zero the whole organisation.

Malthouse is right, holding onto mature players strangles a club. Instead of rejuvenating the list we're standing still.

Still many dark days ahead.

What? We have 8 players left from 4 years ago.

 

[ghostbat12]

We need an internal investigation to figure how we let this happen, and heads need to roll.

what happened that needs an investigation? we picked players we rated with those picks. you mean they need an investigation into why obese keyboard warriors are not listened to and consulted first.

I like it. recruiters went with who they felt was best. thats it.

 

[Elite Pete]

Did you guys run out of list spots or just not rate Banfield?

List spots, everyone could see it happening a month ago when we didn’t put Cripps on the rookie list. Clarke somehow couldn’t
