List Mgmt. Welcome Jobe Shanahan (Pick 30, 2024 National Draft)

[Bleedblueandgold]

Backed all 3 of em pre season.

I've been confident in Jobe winning the rising star since last season. Thankfully still paying at $26. Also placed a bet on CDT at $67 now. Duursma not worth betting on at $4.50.

Duursma odds are shortening every week.

Pick THIRTY

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

2024 draft
14 Jonty Faull Tigers
21 Luke Trainor Tigers
23 Harry Armstrong Tigers
27 Matt Whitlock Norf
28 Thomas Sims Tigers
30 Jobe Shanahan Eagles

So in terms tall options, Tigers had 4 options prior to our pick and Norf 1.

Norf copped a heap of criticism for giving away their F1 (but getting Tigers F2 back) and jumping back into the draft. If they had taken Jobe, I suggest the Norf list team would be more than vindicated. Probably lauded.

We did very well in our 2023 selection of Archer, 2024 selection of Jobe and 2025 selection of Cooper.

The Richmond board has a rather fatalistic thread from people not feeling great about their “rebuild” or whatever term you want to give it. It’s still early days but this is their haul with 7 of the top 29 picks last year:

Sam Lalor, Josh Smillie, Taj Hotton, Jonty Faull, Luke Trainor, Harry Armstrong, Thomas Sims

Now there has been some bad luck through injury, but there are some real questionable ones in there. Faull and Hotton were generally not rated ahead of players like Murphy Reid, Bo Allan and Shanahan. To this point these players aren’t really looking like the transformational future that you’d hope for from holding a quarter of the draft’s first 30 picks.

I looked at three phantom drafts from Twomey, ESPN and RookieMe and Shanahan was picked at 12, 12 and 14. So it’s not like we unearthed some diamond in the rough; there were just a huge number of teams ahead of us who stuffed up. Hell, we were rumoured to be offering Hawthorn’s future first to everyone picking in the 20s because we wanted to move up to pick Shanahan, but nobody bit on the deal, so instead we just got to sit at pick 30 and grab him. Incredible stuff.

Jobe's saving mark pretty stiff not be the #1 moment of the round.

Jobe's saving mark pretty stiff not be the #1 moment of the round.

Probably because there was still a minute or so to go. Would have been had that been the last kick.

In fairness, Melbourne coming from 44 points down does warrant the top spot.

I prefer to think of it as Carlton losing from 44 points up.

I cannot think of another team who so consistently manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

As if it's not vomit inducing enough to have to endure gambling ads while watching the game (and analysis of the game) we all love so dearly, I ask is it entirely necessary that we have to endure dickheads sharing their multi's here on threads where we gather to celebrate the nuances of a rare bloody win?

Keys could I request we start a thread to contain this cancer. If you want to punt on the game keep it contained.

 

[pantskyle]

I, for one, was an advocate of Shanahan at 14 as the strategy all along.
I thought when we didn't select him initially that other clubs wouldn't be stupid enough to leave him on the board until our next pick.
I'm very thankful to be wrong on this latter point.

You should have eternal dibs on being his sponsor.

Would you say it's Bad Taste?

 

[chaddy22]

That pack mark by Jobe was insane. It took me ages to realise he had taken it.
I am glad we drafted him.
We have had a lot of not happy people with trading pick 3 to get Baker/(Graham) and Allan.
We had a lot of debate over whether Duursma and CDt were the right choices .
Recruiters have done a good job.

At the risk of being too pedantic it wasn't a multi.
It was 3 15 bets on our kids to win the rising star. I'll delete the attached images.

Sorry mate. I shouldn't have used the word dickhead, I'm just sick to death of sports gambling everywhere I look. Not limited to you or this thread, I've seen it a bit on our board lately.

Going back and having a little browse through the 2024 draft thread (the beds were wet indeed, my friends) and hoo boy were there some fun melts before our pick, like...



GUESS WHAT BITCHES WE GOT BO AND JOBE BOTH

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Jobe nominated for MOTY for his saving mark as well. Can't see it beating Tauru, but well done for the recognition.

Got to be mark of the week.Harder to out mark six other guys than fly on someones head.
Degree of difficulty was huge.

 

[Rash]

Kids is a star, would have been the best kid at marks up in the schoolyard.

Took two absolute massive pack marks, i was genuinely shocked when i saw him come down with the ball.

I wanted port to take him in the 2024 draft was disappointed when he went 1 or 2 picks before ports second selection.

Perfectly fair to not want any more of that shit.
I've taken it up as opposed to buying a lotto ticket every jackpot, but the adds still shit me.

To each their own MM. Everyone has their vices. Mine is to celebrate too hard after an Eagles win and call people dickheads on BigFooty

I am now at a point in this thread where people are hoping we pick Gross or Davis with pick 45 and guess what, we got both of them too.

This draft was the best.

Oh, that was around the 'Who the **** is Lucca Grego?!" part also.

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Crazy to be reading the cope about Jobe on the tigers board. Apparently he's had plenty of support around him and a better midfield hitting him lace out.

Wonder what excuse they would pivot to if they were reminded that he only came in last year after both Waterman and Allan went down.
