Judging by the discussion, do I detect a second round of grieving over the departure of Logue...maybe next week it may be Lobb we grieve for.......'wailing and gnashing of the teeth' and all that....just had to add that M :roflv1: :thumbsupemoji:

The 'hard to know' is how these fellas interviewed if at all. To me Lemmey was a shoe in with forward and back capabilities, and to also say there were valid reasons why his performances from the few opportunities over the first half of the year were not so good. Was Adams a better choice...

me thinks Freo may have been keen on Binns and Carlton knew this (edit -or maybe it was Cowan) - so traded up to get the chance to get him. Still waiting for some kind of summary from Bell and Walls on the Freo page to know a bit more.

Coverage for Darcy maybe, no guarantee given what he may be offered by clubs.

watch out everyone, Freo has a secret game plan - left footed ruckman :roflv1::confusedv1:

But it is all relative to a lot of things is'nt it T...at present under 180cm players make up about 20-25% of an AFL. team when the average Australian adult male is 176cm. Still Mitch made it for 40plus afl games.

funny that, and if Mitch was 186cm what could he have been? This fella looks like he's good and strong enough and could do some time in the middle as inside mid.

and a lot of our mids were lazy as when the vic boys up the tempo and pressure that quarter - hugh was trying to do too muchto cover too many players imop

Some classic BS flying around in media such as the D+ by 'Ben Wallyworth' on Fox. Some of his summations and grading are really disrespectful of clubs and their likely inside knowledge and reasons for drafting as they do. Davies for example, had other clubs lined up for him and he would not...

Guessing we took the safe back up plan of mature bodies, they get their contract and hopefully require little further development. If we had taken four newbees our backup probably going to be light on. Can't seeing any getting a game in 2023 unless injuries hit us. Good luck boys

:grinv1::roflv1::eekv1: Who got that one

Magor Keeler Lemmey Hagan Gilbey Scully Sadler Schuback Long - still some good prospects there

happy with Davies selection

okay guys, who is going to take the pie with sauce?

there is one such player, and even has a booming kick, but attitude and maturity may be a problem. Think Franklyn

Am hopeful GWS, West Coast or Western Bulldogs will bid on Davey and Essendon match - may help us somewhat

thanks Nickos, yes got it and found what i was missing. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/draft/afl-draft-2022-round-1-talking-points-analysis-brisbane-fatherson-bids-sydney-trade-with-hawthorn-plans-geelong-gets-jhye-clark-after-jack-bowes-trade/news-story/ffccec402a1a16a2440e74ee903dce86

Can anyone can explain to me why Brisbane did not lose all their picks when Ashcroft and Fletcher were bid on, I thought they would lose all their picks including the one in the 50's..would appreciate the 'explano'

'overmodding' probably has something to do with being a "geek" right tony? :grinv1:

good summary - so if we make a conscious effort to go for duds with each pick it may turn out to be our best draft ever :laughv1::roflv1:

Gee Tonga Bob I thought you might be working for Foctel and Hercules Sun - locked out of the other threads -for a day or two :thumbsupv1: Looking forward to the posts...should be a great two days :winkv1:

I am glad that Lemmey is being spoken of as a slider, hope we get him, looks very much a Harry Taylor clone. Will be surprised if Hagan gets to our first pick, expect him to go early to mid 20's but if we can get him we will get a very good player. Davies we should target and will be a very...

Likewise to many others who had not met Salim in person but enjoyed his presence and posts on Bigfooty I express my sincere condolences to his family and to those who knew him in person as his friends. Rest in peace Salim Malik.

"exponentially increasing scale", surely that deserves a few days in the dark room o_O;)

don't worry - be happy. As i said there are one or two only out of the seven years i have selected. The number of games played since each draft year sorts out most of the Rookie upgrades anyway- so they are not in the numbers. you can check out for yourself on footywire year draft...

i'm sure i missed a few.

Yes something like that. Clubs probably have a focus initially on the young talent and where that stops and a focus begins on more mature performing talent begins indicates a trough some where between 25 to 45. But too when sides kick in to begin selecting the "talls" who may need development...

A bit of useless trivia, or not so, to pass the time. Looking at success and longevity of pick selection. There may be a few errors but pretty close. I'm not so adverse to us using our picks on good prospects that may take a little longer to develop rather than trying to trade further up the...

The name Allan and being Ben's son is pushing his number beyond his real value based on form in the colts and state NAB under 18's i feel. A few have said this draft is has more quality tall's than most years though they come with ris re longer development time. The younger crop of Hagen...

I think thats him in there
