Ah, the draft thread. Hello old friend.

At least we didn't make it in Week 4 like we used to...

I think this is the most definitive metric that proves we actually improved in 2017 despite the shit ending.

Well that and 12 wins.

 

[omit]

Draft priority 1.

Someone who knows how to play good football when they're less than 40 points behind

 

[Topkent]

Marking defenders and forwards please. Guys who know how to use space

 

[Proper Gander]

My favourite thread. This is more like it - off-season specialist, me.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Get me a brayshaw

 

[Xenthor]

We need consistent leaders, doesn't matter what position.
We leave to much up to to few.

 

[Demon 16]

If we take a kid, I'd like a hard running link up midfielder with good foot skills.

Rumours are suggesting we might be using our early pick in a trade for Jake Lever.

 

[dylan93]

If we keep the pick, i'll take Brayshaw, Coffeild or Petrucelle. Otherwise trade it as part of the Lever deal. Next year's draft is supposed to be really solid.

 

[schmuttt]

We just need to target guys who use the ball well and can link up on the outside. I don't care if they're the softest player in the draft, we NEED outside players.

Dion is developing as one, would now be the right time to try and raid one from the suns? Got some good outside runners. Sorry to bring up trade in the draft thread

I just read that both Brayshaw's were playing for Sandy in the TAC Cup on the weekend, and both had a day out. Andrew continued on his strong form with 1.1 from 24 disposals, while Hamish absolutely dominated with 5 goals from 30 disposals, 8 marks and 11 tackles!

Would really like the set to be honest!

I know very little about them but the OCD completionist inside me says yes.

That part of me had a word in my overall conclusion also.

Been campaigning for a set since last year, i want the brayshaws to be the new Danihers

What about the Morton's?

 

[PerfectFooty]

What about the Morton's?

Never the morton's! i'm still shocked one ended up a premiership player

 

[PitchBlease]

We need an outside mid. I went looking for one but apparently the best kids this year are insiders & kpp. Then I thought about reaching for a skinny athlete, got Prendergast flashbacks & had to sit down.

 

[blitznu]

Whats the deal with our academy? Or hows that all work with our zone up north? Have we got any players coming through? Dont really hear anything about it

 

[Toump Ass]

My wishlist:

1. More Brayshaws.
2. Someone who can debilitate a dangerous opposition player to rotate in when Bugg's out.
3. A big ****-off gorilla to stop people kicking 10,000 goals on us per game ala Ben Brown.

Man, how good would be getting a couple more Brayshaws? Especially if each one played 150 games and had three kids of their own. Then by like 2050 we could have a midfield of nothing but Brayshaws. That would be sick.

It's definitely going but it'll take time to produce an AFL-level talent from what I understand.

North have a Tassie guy that they'll get this year. He's the second eligible - first one was Dion Johnstone for the Dogs but they thought he'd get to the rookie draft.

 

[TheCount]

I didn't know that ... given the Dogs were apparently also planning on taking Hannan late or as a rookie, it's fair to say we really shafted their Draft plan last year.
