Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

[Lace Out]

Seems we did a bit of colluding with Vossy

 

[Sproj]

Bid in - one of ours?

 

[irel]

No concerns over agility?

We worried about Andrews too, and don’t forget he came in as a forward. To me Curtin, though, looks every bit a KP defender

 

[Sproj]

Nope - Sydney kid.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Well, I'm glad that every single rumour about us pre-draft was a smokescreen.

 

[Sproj]

Adelaide like a tall forward.

 

[T Rick]

I can’t stress enough how much of a cracking read the West Coast draft thread is from the Koby Evans bid onwards.

Their whole world collapses in real time.

Thanks for the tip off - absolute gold!

WC getting smashed, crazy they don't have enough points to match these kids but it might be harder than we and the GC make it look.

Points don't mater after pick 36, you can match with your next pick. West Coast don't have the list spots to match more than one kid tonight. They have extra rookie list spots, and were hoping a couple of kids would slide there.

 

[dlanod]

Do we have anymore picks or can I switch off?

Now you just need to watch to ensure Weller and Bridges slip through to the rookie draft for us to prelist them.

 

[SizeMatters]

Just popping in to say Evans is going to surprise a few over the coming years. An insane talent who IMO will thrive in a professional environment. Could be a top 10 or even top 5 talent in the draft if it all clicks.

 

[Sproj]

Ludowyke seems so happy to be drafted, shame those tears of joy will turn to sadness when he realises its Adelaide.

Wasn't Cody Curtain linked to the Crows for a long time?

 

[Perrip]

Now you just need to watch to ensure Weller and Bridges slip through to the rookie draft for us to prelist them.

Aren't we done for list spots though?

 

[Nathan Barley]

Yeah they need him to keep his brother long term

Isn't our list now completely chockers?

 

[briztoon]

No concerns over agility?

You've watched Harris play, right?

 

[dlanod]

You're asking me too much to double check stuff like that.

Bizarre they didn't rookie some guys like Cripps or the ruck kid they dont seem to rate.

Oh well they can rookie draft some more back flankers

erm, did you mean to sign in to your WC account?

Adelaide like a tall forward.

For a team that looked like they needed midfielders, they seem to have added everything but this trade/draft period. They've added four KPF sized players, and will add a medium utility with Ah Chee.

 

[BuntonRules]

Love our work. Potential in them all.

Loved Shifter honouring Mark Browning.

 

[briztoon]

Wouldn't be surprised if Evans starts his VFL career playing Starcevich's role in the reserves.

 

[ZoBlitz]

You're asking me too much to double check stuff like that.

You're just too excited that GWS didn't pick a small forward with their second pick either.

 

[Perrip]

You're asking me too much to double check stuff like that.

We had 5 draft picks in the final pre-draft order. So, I assume we have 1 more list spot somewhere.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

briztoon what a pity we didn't get Finn Davis, oh well.
