2014 Draft Discussion

[Crawb]

I think we can safely lock in a top 2 pick now the Dees won today.

Let's be honest here, we're probably going to get the first pick...

Us and GWS and we'll have to win one more than them as our percentage is horrible. I reckon we'll beat them at home and possibly another so maybe

Don't be surprised if GWS beat Richmond next week. Richmond really sucks at the moment

I would think Hardwick is gonna "step down" at the end of the year.

I would think Hardwick is gonna "step down" at the end of the year.

Maric coming back is the only thing that will save him. Once Maric gets match fit they are going to start winning again and they'll end up finishing 9th, you can just see it happening.

what are the chances of getting a PP? I haven't given it any consideration but with the new hierarchy saying he will help the Lions I think we may be a chance. Could we get pick 1 and 2? I doubt it but we may get something like pick 1 and mid 1st round or end of first round...

doubt it. They will say we have injuries and will be better next year. Melbourne lost Clarke Dawes and Viney last season and didnt get a PP, still hope we do. Really hope Melb dont get one.

 

[chopperduck]

Id be happy if no one got a PP.

 

[Kevvo]

I would pass up favourable draft treatment every day of the week in exchange for some kind of help keeping the quality players we've already drafted.

You need to be really shit for quite a while before the AFL would consider it if Melbourne didn't get one last year.

Must have been affected by yesterday's game as I dreamt about getting Giants and Suns type of concessions in this years draft. However, even in my dream I was asking what's going on.

I think the go-home five would give us a case in normal circumstances.

But it seems like the priority picks will become politicised. And unfortunately there's not a lot of political will to give more concessions to northern States clubs.

Vic Metro vs. Vic Country. Peter Wright for Metro and Hugh Goddard and Patrick McCartin for Country are 3 KPP prospects who I expect the Lions will be very interested in by the end of the season. Hopefully all 3 play well today.

Might be a bit different because they had just been fined for "tanking"...

Not being televised anywhere I take it?

 

[blueiris]

A chance to see which KPF will save our club.

Sandringham yacht club. Started at 11am. Trevor Barker Oval.

I am not exactly sure, however if I remember correctly, I read on the main board that this match is not televised unfortunately.

Thanks TBD but I have already checked there I remember they had players to look out for on the AFL Site last year.but not this week I guess later in the year

"Sandringham yacht club. Started at 11am. Trevor Barker Oval."

I am quoting your post with Nicky G's info so you get a notification.

 

[lionshine]

Wright, McCartin, and Goddard all had 2 goals each early in the 3rd according to this twitter account: https://twitter.com/paigecardona

It is currently 3 quarter time.

Apparently Goddard kicked an amazing goal.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Wright getting a fair bit of time in the ruck too by the sounds of it.

A certain Collingwood poster will be getting quite lathered up about Darcy Moore.

EDIT: Love Wright's nickname "Two Metre Peter".
