2025 Draft Thread

[Hayes4PM]

Can someone bid on these remaining academy kents please???

Shifter, North have picked up an elite defender.
Cut an paste this sentance for every pick just change the club and position

Here you go
<Club> had picked up an elite <position>

Honestly these home interviews are some of the most cringeworthy viewing of the year

Been reported that Carlton might try to trade back from 28.

If we want to move up for say PouMk2 it wouldn’t surprise me if we offered them 40 and our 2026 2nd for 28.

That would help Carlton with points/picks for Walker next year.

We dont have a 2026 2nd rounder anymore

 

[saintbill]

Hurry up Cats. Ffs, u have had 24 hours.

Got things to do.

They are trying to NFL it but without any of the magic or the aura of it.
Its like trying to remake a classic but ending up with an F grade slasher film

Its so confected. Amazingly the next pick is magically in as the interview ends.

Imagine if we take Byrnes with out first pick lol

Had him in our top 5 of the draft. Can’t believe he slipped through to us.

The timer is completely made up imo. They use all 5 mins for interviews and highlights.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Carlton on the phone. Do something you plebs!

 

[Joffaboy]

How does this Ablett creep have a job in media.
Gives me chills up my spine. Something seriously amiss with him in my view.

 

[BrutThough]

Gold Coast got the Carlton pick.

 

[topbillings]

Damn, I wanted that Carlton pick.

 

[hangdog]

They still don’t get it. Just can the system. It’s the exclusive access that is the problem.

How about this (using Brisbane as an example)

You can't match a bid on any player taken before your natural draft position.

Brisbane's natural first pick is 18, so no matching anyone before that pics.

Gold Coast's natural first round pick was 13, so they could only match bids from 13 onwards (they miss out on matching Uwland and Patterson)

Carlton's natural pick is 8, Dean is bid on at 3. Can't match.

It would force clubs to give up fair draft captial to move up the order and take their player (Eg, Carlton trade up to pick 3 to get Dean)

 

[marcus1232]

now we start getting on the phone

 

[Joffaboy]

Ablett says full credit to GC for gettin four gifts in the first round.
Tells us not to panick because the next drafts wont be the same.
Wow thats a relief. I feel better about GC's 12 frdps in the past tbree years now.

 

[Hayes4PM]

Shifter Sheehan busting out some eugenic-like analysis with Avery Thomas here, hopefully he doesn't start listing his phrenology measurements jeeeeepers.

 

[Captain Paddy]

Waiting for that suns selection after the trade

I 100% thought they were gonna bid on Fincher just as a big F you

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

if I didn't have a ton of work to do I wouldn't be watching this, snorefest

"This won't happen again in 2026 and 2027"

It literally happened in 2023. Walter, Read, Rodgers, Graham. 4 Picks in the first 26. But I'm sure it won't happen ever again.

 

[BrutThough]

West Coast take Sam Allen who we were linked with.

 

[SainterinSydney]

Tigers are the danger team with j pou

 

[stavro#4]

If you want Pou. That Richmond pick is the one I think we need to worry about.
