[Taylor]

If we get both our academy guys through the draft we should have a spot in the PSD and take Fred there

 

[FreoRicci]

We’re done for the night.
Whan is there for the taking

 

[Taylor]

We've now passed all our picks - so we can't match?

Can still match, our picks keep coming up

 

[Lach72]

We've now passed all our picks - so we can't match?

Still got 103!

 

[Wizard]

So assuming we want Whan and Luke we get them as rookies now?

 

[Lach72]

So assuming we want Whan and Luke we get them as rookies now?

Yep

 

[Ge3ks]

There's another Darcy?

 

[pK75]

Oh man. I thought he was gonna be in tomorrow mornings rookie draft.

So would we likely rookie anyone tomorrow?

We can, or we can keep some spots for train ons during the SSP

 

[largebus]

There's another Darcy?

He's now their best key defender.

 

[LongSerong]

If Eagles take Whan or Fred in the rookie draft we've really shot ourselves in the foot for no reason

Going to be hard to take Whan when he's now on our Cat B rookie list...

 

[Tonga Bob]

Going to be hard to take Whan when he's now on our Cat B rookie list...

Is that official?

 

[Lach72]

Going to be hard to take Whan when he's now on our Cat B rookie list...

And Luke too.

There’s still some good talent available

BOB, Greeves, NHH, Fred

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Is that official?

All but, from memory the club puts out a thing close to straight after the draft.

Whan and Luke will be added as Cat B rookies

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

There needs to be an easier way to track clubs list spots when I'm an absolute list management nerd and struggle to keep up.

Feels like we have room for a rookie pick tomorrow right?

So do I do welcome threads now?

Got to be happy they both got through to Cat B.

I’d hold out for the rookie draft and if we can get Fred or Kicket I’d tell Cox where to go, should have committed before we had a chance at good rookies.

 

[Docker82]

I think we add another player tomorrow (besides Whan and Luke).

 

[Minz]

Geez, I was expecting Rodriguez to get picked up.

We have three rookie spots available...

2 rookie spots opened up by losing Reidy and upgrading Sharp. We may be holding one open for Cox, if we want more train ons we either don’t pick tomorrow or we move Sturt to LTI list.

 

[Chris25]

I’m hoping we take at least one pick tomorrow. Still a couple of guys I like - BOB, Onley, Ainsworth for example. But who knows their plan.

As I said earlier in this thread, I wouldn’t have taken NHH. Inconsistent, without a definitive position. Bust written all over him. I also think Rodriguez is a solid player without any standout attribute, in fact his biggest selling point was probably just that he was from WA.

 

[s_wd6]

Man I wonder what happens when guys almost unanimously rated top 25 in mock drafts go undrafted

 

[CaseySibosadoHOF]

An average of all the media rankings as a guide for who are the surprise sliders.

Onley would be a really good value rookie pick IMO.

Even though I feel the draft went as expected (lowest ever picks), I still feel for everyone that missed out; it's a tough business.
