Grabbing a player Essendon don't want, how could this end well??

Like Pat Voss?

they didn't have the points, would have put the in deficit next year

 

[thistimeforsure]

Welp , right sort of player at least IMO

 

[freo_leo29]

Never heard of this bloke. Do we actually want him?

small forward, just about the best we could hope for tbh

 

[2big2strom]

I'll take it! Is he the only player not interviewed? Classic, welcome to the Freo treatment lol

 

[gaskin]

Grabbing a player Essendon don't want, how could this end well??

Essendon couldn't match without going into deficit for next year.

 

[Ge3ks]

Grabbing a player Essendon don't want, how could this end well??

They sure took a long time to say they didn't want him. Reality is nobody wanted to help them get him.

 

[s_wd6]

lol he’s 100% asking for a trade back to vic asap but very happy with this pick for now

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

looks pretty slow lol

Hmm, yes, have now seen a 10 second highlight package and considering myself an expert, he reminds me of our own NGA player we had pinched on draft night...

 

[Docker82]

Thank god we overlooked the talls.

Good fit for our list IMO.

get blasted on the socials for liking Instagram stuff posted by The Sweid?

And for all those having a whinge just remember you cried over Joe Berry so take a seat.

WHats more if the groupthink had their way we'd have gone with Bo Allan with Berry off the table

 

[ubiquitous226]

Like Pat Voss?

That was the joke

 

[freo_leo29]

Thredgold slides to North, theyll be very happy

 

[David Bubb]

Apparently loves pressure, whether he plays mid or FWD I think that fits a need. Need mid depth, need small forwards

 

[Bender571]

Picking up an academy player kills the idea that we were happy to downgrade our first round pick because we would still get the player we wanted.

 

[chaosball32]

Would’ve thought us helping facilitate the Brisbane-West Coast heist where we rogered ourselves might have resulted in an unmatched bid for Williams.

Don’t know much about Sweid but I’m happy we actually address a list need with our first.

 

[DragoDelph]

Now to operation get Fred.

 

[swanny1234]

Good choice going a small forward. Was hoping we wouldn’t pick a tall. Small/pressure forward players was what we needed most.

 

[Gekko71]

...Who?

(Sorry - had to say it.

Genuine question: when was the last time we actually got someone with a bid? Can't think of any right now ...

 

[DragoDelph]

Pies and blues the biggest risks

 

[go_the_dockers]

 

[A New Hope]

Sweid as bro

 

[freo_leo29]

Now to operation get Fred.

unless we trade up, I can't see Carlton skipping over him

 

[Eski3]

Absolutely crazy that the Dons didn't match imo. Stoked
