Academy Rorts - The 2025 Draft Thread

[JasRulz63]

Wonder if it's that Freo NGA.

EDIT: wrong WA side.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Welcome Koby Evans

 

[Hollow Knight]

Another mid? Dear god…

 

[Sproj]

Woohoo, Lions picking another complete random - which we love to do.

 

[Elixuh]

WCE we eat your lunch

 

[Bucking Beads]

I reckon we'd be planning to use him as a small forward.

 

[Warwick]

Bottom age performer + draft year injury.

That’s our one wood.

 

[Sproj]

So we did have a purpose with the 'useless' third we got yesterday.

 

[Hollow Knight]

West Coast board seems pissed off. Good sign.

 

[Crusha]

My WA watch is for Cody Curtain.

We don't know yet whether Zakostelsky will make it as a defender, or whether the new rules around subs and ball -ups with see his development take on a new focus as a mobile ruckman.
Even so, I still see a tall defender for the future as a definite need, and we are the position to take a punt at our late picks.
Curtain (200cm) has also had a good year as a tall fwd (32.9 from 9 games at FF in WA Colts).

My WA "favourite" though is Koby Evans, but West Coast would surely match any bid at our range (NGA tied).

YooooWhoooo !!!!!!

Yeah thats what I was wondering. Guys who can play forward might be a priority

Yep its our MO, no idea why other clubs don't do it.

Did we trade that one?

 

[Hollow Knight]

Remember when West Coast fans were threatening to revenge bid on Annable?

Bahahaah.

 

[Perrip]

Another mid? Dear god…

Is he a mid of a forward?

 

[Sproj]

WC two players bid in two.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Forward craft but the ability to play mid is kind of what we do.

 

[Comeback Lions]

I reckon we'd be planning to use him as a small forward.

188cm, not that small

 

[Sproj]

Did we trade that one?

I'm not looking up facts, it gets in the way of my cool story.

 

[blueiris]

Did well getting Koby Evans definitely will be a small forward with X factor

 

[The Zork]

no highlights package!?

 

[Crusha]

That was a great trade. Forced WC to make a choice.
I'm guessing we may well have taken Williams if WC matched Evans.

 

[blueiris]

no highlights package!?

Injured most of year had a great 2024 though

 

[Bucking Beads]

188cm, not that small

Yeah not that small but ability to play forward is a good way to break into the side

 

[Sproj]

Hurry up St Kilda, no one cares about you, get out of the way already.
