2025 Draft Thread

[Sippa]

Kinda surprised there’s been no mature ages by this stage

 

[Tyrian Lonestar]

So plenty of players on our list now who can run through the midfeld.

Though Fincher might start down back.

At loooong last

 

[Flandersss]

Byrnes at 64

Take a punt on Greaves?

 

[pluggeranddoc]

If only they get payback on us and pick up Byrnes. Now that would plaster a smile on my face!

You seriously think Collard is better than Byrnes?

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Are we done for tonight?

Hope not.

Still half a dozen Bontempellis on the board.

 

[Dard Ball Get]

Happy with that

 

[Darrian Barnett]

Hoping that R. Byrnes fella will last to our pick #64

 

[StFly]

Pies with the Goggles replacement at 55.

 

[gringo2011]

oh gosh, I clutcheth the pearls!

Just might explain why there wasn't anyone jumping on him earlier.

 

[TheOsprey]

How does us matching work? We had 55, did our next pick which is now 64 just get pushed back to cover the difference?

 

[Verdun66]

So funny to hear them talking the draft up after most clearly thought it was a dud. Just kids, and who knows? Independent analysis seems hard to come by.

Yes good comparision as they play in the exact same positions

Pickett was earlier than expected and then nothing.

They don't disclose the details, but it was probably 55 + a small points deficit.

Correct, can use deficit in this draft or next I believe and we had 63 so it only dropped by 1 pick.

 

[Bill Crouse]

Hope not.

Bontempellis are a dime a dozen.

There is only one Ryan Byrnes.

Pick 64, come on down Byrnesempelli.

 

[SainterinSydney]

I reckon he was happy he wouldn't be stuck at WCE and he is coming to the Destination Club!

I hope someone picks this kid up and he makes 17 other teams look stupid.

This group think drives me crazy, yeah sure every club things everyone selected so far is a better prospect to make it at afl level.

 

[gringo2011]

I was thinking that he might be gutted not playing at his old man's club. Apparently not.

 

[SainterinSydney]

My poor dad will be excited to see our next pick and will be like "WTF!" when we select Byrnes

Occasionally one slips through the cracks like that.
