Opinion 2012 draft thread.

[Kramer1]

Anyone else think that Shane Rogers looks like Mr. Burns?

Nuh...dead ringer for this guy though.

 

[Keyza]

It could be read as 3 live picks - can rookies be elevated on the night?

Pick 11 - Ollie Wines
Pick 36 - Adam Carter
Pick 56 - Kyle Reimers
Pick 71 - Andrew Collins
Pick 76 - Ed Curnow (rookie upgrade)
Pick 90 - Levi Casboult (rookie upgrade)
Pick 102 - Zach Tuohy (rookie upgrade)

Rookie elevations are read out on draft night using the late picks.

 

[Silvagnis]

Our slider will be Jakschson Macrae.#BrettAnderson

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

I want Spencer White with #36 too. There's something reassuring about having a player like that on the list. You don't expect anything from him short term, but in the back of your mind you are convinced that with adequate development, the unleashing of some superhuman KPP force upon the AFL is a distinct possibility.

Wow !!!!!!

AFL has revised the order for tomorrow's Draft after Adelaide Crows notified AFL today they would relinquish picks 20 (r1) and 54 (r3).

Adelaide Crows picks will now move into rounds 4 and 5, with all other selections amended.

That now leaves Collingwood with 3 picks in a row !!

Adrian Anderson will recommend to AFL Commission Adelaide's actions be taken into consideration in its deliberations next week.

Goodwill gesture my foot !!!!!!

[BluStreak]

Do people read this to be us only using 3 picks tomorrow?

No Stamos. See it as saying that those three pick will be to get new blood into our club as I understand it the others would be used to upgrade rookies etc.

 

[Omega Blue]

wow mega bomb droped there Aph

 

[Silvagnis]

The AFL would have had a quiet word to the Crows for them to take such a drastic action.

 

[Aphrodite]

wow mega bomb droped there Aph

Adelaide are running scared Omega and this is a way for them to "suck" up to the Commission.

I hope they get taken to the cleaners !!!!!


Dear AFL please show NO MERCY !!!!


Oh wait ......... Only Carlton cheats !!!!

 

[Bronze]

If the Demons take Toumpas then surely Wines will be gone with one of the Bulldogs picks.

 

[murphbf08]

HA HA i knew the afl would go light on an interstate side, we lose 2 top they lose 20 and 50 odd. What a joke​

Crows chairman Rob Chapman quotes as saying - "We see this as a pragmatic gesture made in good faith"

I am sorry Rob BUT who do you think you are fooling !!!!

Running scared Omega.


Crows hand back 1st two picks

In a dramatic twist in the Kurt Tippett salary cap scandal, the Crows have today reached a football plea bargain with the AFL to take a short-term draft hit for longer-term gain.

Facing stiff penalties from the league for alleged salary cap cheating and draft tampering, Adelaide has decided to forego selections 20 and 54 at the Gold Coast draft.

Depends which way the Dogs powerbrokers decide to go - needs or best available. Wines or Macrae/Menzel/Stringer. Either way I'm hopeful that Macrae or Wines/Vlastuin fall into the Blues lap.

 

[Sector 7G]

As part of the Crows penalty, the AFL is making them keep Angus Graham.

 

[Omega Blue]

Wait wait..... did we just get pick 35, today is a good day

 

[Aphrodite]

Wait wait..... did we just get pick 35, today is a good day

Yes we did and also pick 55 instead of 56.

 

[BlackGoanna]

Yes we did.

So now we have picks 11, 35, 56, 77, 90.

56 would go up 2 spots - 54. It also makes a meal of everyones phantom draft.

 

[Bronze]

It's a shame the Demons didn't do a plea bargain too.

 

[BlackGoanna]

56 would go up 2 spots - 54. It also makes a meal of everyones phantom draft.

I think with Jacobs looking at going to Essendon and the Adelaide pick ... it is more like 34 to me

 

[Silvagnis]

Depends which way the Dogs powerbrokers decide to go - needs or best available. Wines or Macrae/Menzel/Stringer. Either way I'm hopeful that Macrae or Wines/Vlastuin fall into the Blues lap.

Mayes or Macrae would have to be one of their picks. Dogs are loaded for inside players. Boyd, Cross, Stevens (fringe player, but still a grunt), Hunter, Smith, Wallis and Liberatore. They need some outside class and a medium forward. Hope they take Mayes and Menzel. Or Mayes and Grundy.

Lions couldn't possibly pass on Wines.

 

[Omega Blue]

56 would go up 2 spots - 54. It also makes a meal of everyones phantom draft.

pretty sure i'm gonna spend the next 2 hrs seeing who everyone picked at 35.
but being a loyal carltonian boardian i will only pay attention to Sins phantom

I just edited my post.
