2016 Draft discussion

Swear I just sam Scrimshaw start crying

 

[luthor]

Well would you look at that.

McCluggage now positively beaming.

Did anyone get the colour of his mouth guard?

 

[Jivlain]

As expected. Hayward will go in the next 6 picks.

If he's available at Port's first they'll probably figure on us not taking him. An academy pick is also possible. So he could be a little later.

 

[SizeMatters]

Boom. First 'upset' of the night.

 

[pulpdriver]

Shit, Sydney take Florent.

 

[jackess]

Florent to Sydney. Need Simpkin to slide

 

[dlanod]

There, he smiled.

But he said hi to all the GC players. Requesting a trade down the road next year.

 

[lionshine]

Can't believe we nabbed McCluggage. Looks great in the Lions guernsey and can't wait to see him run out in Lions colours at the Gabba next year!

 

[M Malice]

so much for the no interstate move for Florent.

 

[M Malice]

bloody hell Simpkin gone. come on Berry.

 

[jackess]

Damn.

 

[pulpdriver]

Leave Berry alone WCE.
Leave Berry alone WCE.
Leave Berry alone WCE.
Leave Berry alone WCE.

 

[deklares]

Simpkin gone.. Whos left that we want fellas?

 

[Monkey Daniel]

Jack Bowes looked pissed off. He will have his bags packed already...

Thought that too....Academy player and all

 

[jjami15]

Finally a different pick - Venabkes

 

[luthor]

Well there goes Venables

 

[SizeMatters]

There goes Simpkin. One player who I really wanted but came to realise he was no chance of sliding to pick 16.

 

[Kevvo]

Venables early...

 

[dlanod]

Wouldn't be a Brisbane draft thread witout a complete denial about retention still being an issue either.

We had to take McCluggage at Pick 3 - half the comp rated him as #1. We're very lucky. But let's not pretend we're exactly a destination club for most young players.

There's a difference between retention and smile analysis.

Berry sliding past WCE...

 

[pulpdriver]

Venables early as hell

 

[jackess]

Talent starting to drop off now.

Never understood why Hayward was so high in the phantoms.

 

[briztoon]

That was the pick we needed. Venables going early will see some one drop to our pick.

 

[jackess]

Witherden or Cummings please.

 

[Eons]

so much for the no interstate move for Florent.

He said he was open to moving to Sydney or Adelaide, Brett Anderson just mentioned it.

Who is pretending that? But some people seem to think unless a player has made an unprecedented statement like Ainsworth then they are gone in 2 years . It's ridiculous. I wish Ainsworth never said it now, people just lost their freaking marbles.
