2016 Draft discussion

[briztoon]

Did anyone pay attention to the North Melbourne draft table when we didn't match the bid on Watson?

There were a lot of "not happy", "ah crap" looks going around the table.

What's the projection for North next season, are they top 8 contenders, or more likely to hold a high draft pick?

I have a feeling they were trying to play silly buggers and get our 2017 2nd round pick down graded with having to carry a points deficit.

Great draft

 

[Bucking Beads]

Not a fan of Jarrod "Dingle" Berry?

I'll tolerate ones made in jest but there's been some real stinkers suggested tonight.

You have two absolute rippers in Berry and McCluggage. Both great footballers and better blokes. You guys should be stoked.

Will be keeping a close eye now on Brisbane. Rebuilds are never easy but with these two you definitely have taken a few steps in the right direction.

Great draft for the lions tonight however the overall winner has to be Queensland

The decision to take him was elementary...

If a team is doing that that late in the draft then they're incompetent. So I doubt North made the pick thinking we were going to match.

Just watched Twomey's draft wrap. When talking about the drafts biggest winners he went GC because of their 4 top 10 picks. But singled Brisbane out as the other big winner.

Jason Akermanis you mean?

Agree, I remember when Aker played with a bang hammy for a few weeks and just used his left foot the whole time. Would be great to have a few players with that skill in the side.

I like Huckleberry for Jarrod from one my favorite movies Tombstone

You could come as well. Always room for another lions supporter.

Saw on the tweeterverse that Berry is good friends with Schache and Mathieson as well. So good vibes.

Ben is just down the road as well - we'll sort him out next trade period

we can get Brodie too

 

[chopperduck]

Nice little Vic Country group between Berry, Hugh, Schache, Matho, Skinner. At least Ainsworth is local so whilst he is at another club, he can catch up with his mates. I do wonder if this came into consideration from the Suns. Could say similar with our pick on Lyons being his brother is at Suns now too.

Wow...

You did read the last line of the article didn't you? "The biggest bullsh*ter in Australian sports journalism. It's satire."

 

[Gadzorks]

Shit...should we worry?

Just realised the jumper they handed to McCluggage had the National Storage logo on it.

Someone ****ed up.

I'm pretty sure It was the Fitzroy heritage jumper we wore against Richmond

Huh, Campberdown Dairy will be absolutely ropeable

Seriously? If you give him that nickname I'll be berry angry ok.

 

[TreyHK]

Cox looks like an impressive character.

He could easily play on a wing or HF in addition to HB. Looks to have silky smooth skills and lots of time.

Yeah, it's a pretty amateur mistake.
