Now we come to predictions for next season's opening round. Obviously a ton of water to go under the bridge, so many of our young guys could grab a spot with a good pre-season
Would love to see something like this, myself:
B: Brown, Butts, Doedee
HB: Smith, Murray, McPherson
C: Sholl, Laird...
Now it's fair to agree Bird/Magic have the 80's, MJ has the 90's, Kobe/Duncan has the 00's and LeBron has the 10's (with . All of these guy basically controlled the league for each of their respective eras. They had tools which were just unmatched and, at times, unplayable for their era.
Well...
Think this thread is relevant considering we’ll very likely have a top 4 pick
Twomey has put up a list of players he thinks are top 10 as of the moment. My favourite out of these guys is Noah Anderson, although I think someone like Mitch O’Neill is extremely unlucky to not get in, another...
9 years now I’ve been doing this, I think?
I bet my left nut that we get more than a 2nd rounder and a state league player for McGovern, that Hogan and Lobb both get to WA, and that Port trades up into the top 5 of the draft.
Bet away!
Rumours floating around he may want to consider his options. Getting offered a year by the Cats and multiple years by other teams
What’s he worth? Thought he showed a bit in the limited times I saw him this year, but he is 27 years old already
Good:
Gibbs was very nice again, Cameron + small pick downgrades was worth it
Laird again, just keeps trucking on
Seedsman has been one of our best this year, was almost in ANZAC Day form tonight
Tex kicked 3
Douglas' 2nd half
Thought McGovern's presence was felt all through the night
Mackay...
So a draft has been going on for about the last two weeks, and our teams of 12 have all been filled (in most cases ahaha). Will be interesting to see which team comes out on top, in the public eye!
Drafters - you can vote, but you can't vote for yourself.

PG: Steph Curry

It's been a while since one of these has happened, so let's give it another shot.
6-10 drafters, all NBA/ABA players over history (at their NBA/ABA peak) are eligible. Aim is to create the best all time team. Probably go 10 players.
Each roster spot is dedicated to a particular category. Each...
Now the ND is over, time to focus on Monday.
Obviously we’ll be picking up Edwards and CEY, but it’ll be interesting to see if we go with two other rookies to round out our list. IMO we definitely should.
Few obvious ones to go for, like Murphy and Giro. Could go with a mature ager like...
Think this is the eighth year in a row I've made this thread
What do you bet will happen this exchange period? I bet my left nut that Bryce Gibbs will be a Crow by the end of the trade period (lost out on this one last year), and that three more Giants (Kennedy, Smith and Griffen) will be...
It's been obvious tonight that we've just not been up to it. We won't win a flag at all, at this rate.
But why? Well the main two reasons are that we're just not hitting targets constantly (by hand or foot), like a team with a gameplan based around 'slingshot footy' and basic skill should be...
I think it's fair to say that, after last night, we definitely shouldn't have full confidence in this team yet. Absolutely no excuses for losing last night.
This got me thinking, where do we need to improve for either this year, or for 2018 and beyond? How - just how - do we make this team the...
Was just thinking about a few of the events that have shaped our club in the past few years (Tippettgate, Eddie coming to us, the uproar of drafting Dangerfield over Ebert), and I was curious to think what might have happened if things went the opposite way.
Now, of course some of these things...
Think this could be an interesting discussion.
In CC and WMJ, we have two very exciting young prospects that could very well carve it up in our midfield in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if they both end up being AA's by the end of their careers, if they can lift their disposal numbers...
Just a bit of fun... for amateurs and experts alike! Feel free to predict the first 25 picks of next Friday's draft.
Here's mine:
1) Essendon - Andrew McGrath
2) GWS - Ben Ainsworth
3) Brisbane - Hugh McCluggage
4) Gold Coast - Tim Taranto
5) GWS - Will Setterfield
6) Carlton - Sam...
For the seventh year in a row!
I bet my left nut that Bryce Gibbs will be an Adelaide Crow by the end of October, and that there will be a swap of early picks in the Jack Steele trade.
The one thing that I hope people realise about this game is how important it is for our club.
If we win this game today, we're a legitimate flag contender. We'll have proven that we can take it up to the best teams in the comp away from our home ground. A big-stage win tonight will make our...
Hmm, haven't had one of these in ages, would anyone be keen for one?
Draft a team of 12 players, no restrictions, just a normal draft. You can pick from any player ever. For the moment I'll cap it at 8, but I'll see how much interest we get.
Teams:
Danger in Texas
Wacky Tiger
PVF
