Review 2017 AFL National Draft - Friday 24th November

[The Nostradamus]

Just so happy we didn't get Fogarty, was the only way to screw up pick 4. The rumours linking us to him were frightening

 

[darko]

Imagine in three years our midfield will include:
Kelly
Cunnington
Higgins
LDU
Simpkin
Ahern
McDonald
Maybe Next year’s first pick
Taryn Thomas
A couple of father/ sons

Deadly!

I'll start including Kelly once we actually land him. Higgins will be 32 in 3 years time and probably done or on a serious decline. Ahern is a wildcard at this point.

Hurtung, horrible selection.

No such thing as a horrible selection at pick in the 70s

Pick 70 something.

[Heaps of fun]

I reckon Rayner will last three years in Brisbane.

We were probably trying to spook Freo into picking him but they mustn't have been keen. Then we really liked Brayshaw and lo and behold...LDU.

We were probably trying to spook Freo into picking him but they mustn't have been keen. Then we really liked Brayshaw and lo and behold...LDU.

Judging by Ross' reaction, we pulled one over on Freo. First, North's public interest in Brayshaw and two, Freo thinking that we go after Cerra instead of LDU.

[Flawed Genius]

In: Raging monster ballpig prototype (LDU)
Lateral god (Ahern)
Fleet of foot dangerous flanker, allows shuffling of other players in that role (Walker)
Horrific murderer (Hayden)
Project beanpole BFNAAK (Xerri)
Gibson replacement (Hartung)

Giddy up

Joyce Man of the Year

 

[Gone north]

A lot of media saying freo big winners.
I can't see it .

Took the two players in the draft I for one didn't want.

We made out like bandits- let's be honest

 

[Clarence2norton]

All I can say is Freo......

I reckon dumont could be trade bait next period.
We’re gonna need another 2nd rounder at least in next year’s draft in order to get the points to bid on Thomas I reckon.
Key focus on next year needs to be retaining our first rounder and still getting Thomas at the club.
We have an extra 3rd rounder - won’t be enough imo.
If we traded dumont - only retirements I see are Thompson and waite.
If we manoeuvre well over the next 12 months we’ll have a stable list for 5 years with min turnover imo

 

[Supa_Nova]

I feel we did really well this draft and it makes me excited for next year to watch our kids develop. Hartung is a great pick, fits our age profile PLUS is quick and has a tank. Disposal is the knock on him, and we arent exactly brilliant there anyway, but i truly believe he adds somethiing to our side. And at pick 70 odd good pick imo

4. NORTH MELBOURNE: LUKE DAVIES-UNIACKE, midfielder, Dandenong Stingrays
Forget about Jack Higgins, this is the steal of the draft. Mark my words, Davies-Uniacke is a future All-Australian captain and Brownlow medallist. Not enough hyperbole for you? Try this. I would rather Davies-Uniacke at his age and contract than a Dustin Martin or Josh Kelly clogging up my list for a decade.
Value: A+ Team fit: A

23. NORTH MELBOURNE: WILL WALKER, midfielder, Sandringham Dragons
A reach but he should still improve their midfield depth.
Value: C Team fit: B

Will be heading South for for the big bucks on offer at Arden St..

I'm nominating Joyce for national living treasure.....

^^^^
This! If we can do the above, we will be settin ourselves up for the next decade.
I’d redshirt LDU to get this done.

As i mentioned earlier, here are our selections again:

Jindrrk Some Mic Mac Gif material for you at 6:13.

Draft night summed up for me.
Brisbane always gonna take Rayner.
Freo taking Brayshaw bit of a surprise but family genuinely happy as he beat his brother and also happy he went so high.
Dow going Carlton was more yay staying in Vic but family was like, Geez Carlton?! really??
Cerra looked shattered to be leaving Victoria. Sister gave him a nervous look and his mrs sat there thinking its all over for me. Old man could not be more annoyed at losing his boy to Perth. They probably hate us.

LDU more relief at not having to go to Perth or Brisbane. In fact outside of Rayney was the happiest I would have thought.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I'm already bloody sick of hearing about how Stephenson getting picked up by collingwood was a huge thing.

He didn't even bloody slide even with the heart condition.
