Welcome to the Bulldogs Lachlan Carmichael(pick 22)

[Mofra]

In the 2

Giving the #2 to an academy kid. No way that can go wrong!

 

[Hoges64]

The top 20

Seriously?

**** me, the A(w)F(u)L is just the most absolute ****ing bush amateur league, make up ridiculous rules as we go along, organisation in existence.

So 4 x Gold Coast, 3 x Essendon, 3 x West Coast, 2 x Richmond and 2 x Melbourne kids get the three year contract, but Bulldogs, Adelaide, Geelong and Freo draftees don't despite them being their clubs first picks in the first round.

What a ****ing joke.

I think the rule was made with the thought there'd be a couple bids and that typically 20 picks would be about the make up of the first round. I don't see a draft which has a 20-pick first round ever happening again tbh, when you consider F/S and NGA picks across 18, soon to be 19 clubs.

Anyone claimed this lad yet.

I like his demeanour.

 

[Libbaaaa]

I love that he just gives off resting b!tch face all the time. We need a hard nut in the backline.

God I loved it when Tim Callan played.

We also had a great tradition of number 8 going to tough bastards for a while, often defenders (Kennedy & Toohey) until Hahn made it a midfielder tough bastard number.

IF that was their thinking it's even more ridiculous. So if there was a draft with 3 bids in it you have 20 kids get a three year deal and one misses out? How ****ing stupid is that???

Seriously, I HATE how much the AFL has the fans by the short and curly's, they can basically make whatever ****ed up rules they want (hello stand rule & lasso rules) and because they know we love the game regardless we'll still keep coming. Like it would take a MONUMENTOUSLY BAD (instead of just ridiculously bad) rule change to stop more than 2% of us turning up, so as long as they stay just below the MONUMENTOUSLY STUPID threshold, they're fine.

Can't leave Danny Southern off that list.

Definitely. Did Matthew Dent wear number 8? I remember he was pretty dour and tough too.

 

[Hoges64]

Our number 8's by season....

Calling that he plays round 1.

 

[BigFloppa]

Have we voted on our leadership team yet? Reckon this guy is at least VC

 

[Cudi]

Has the guy smiled since we drafted him?

Wearing #2 he can hold down his side of the locker room as VC while Sellwood, wearing #41 can hold down the other side as captain.

This will be different next season. Bids can only be matched with 2 picks and and there's no more discount. Also cant hold more picks than list spots. So next draft with at least 4 bids in the first round will mean first round and compos will come back down to 16-18 spots instead of ballooning out to 25+ for just the first round.

I think he is just really serious

 

[JohnnySteel]

He is already well built, could see him play plenty of games next year, if he impresses.

I can see that aswell once he plays a few VFL games to catch up to the speed of the higher level. The benefit of taking someone out of the Northern academies is that they've usually played atleast a few VFL games before being drafted.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

We have smile.

Now we can all get some sleep.

Love this. Seems like he’ll add them passing on him as extra fuel.

What a crew. We are pretty stacked for young talent.
