Game Day 2017 draft discussion

[Strapping Young Lad]

I've never heard of any of the kids in the draft. Hopefully whoever we pick turn out to be guns

They only need to be in our jumper to be guns.

 

[triple treat]

Its definitely not Stephenson as good as that would be.

Give us a name so I can look him up!!

 

[RIOLINWITPUNCHS]

Give us a name so I can look him up!!

I've already said I don't know his name.

I've already said I don't know his name.

I’ve no idea, but wonder where Seton sits - I heard on Fox that he’s slid on account of an injury plagued season.

[Leather Poisoning]

If you wantes the hawks to draft them you’d fake a major injury

1st name?

 

[Gralin]

just think sometime in around 2 hours we might possibly be getting close to our first pick

 

[Brant]

1st name?

They may have been speaking of Petrevski-Seton from last year; think they just said he slid last year for that reason

Makes sense. When you type 'Seton AFL' into Google he is the only result.

Pick someone fast and strong. Teach Em the rest.

Nailing the multis: The best of the draft best
Marc McGowan November 24, 2017 4:58 PM


FREMANTLE, Carlton and St Kilda are all armed with dual top-10 picks in Friday night's NAB AFL Draft, which they hope will change their future for the better.

History shows that nailing multiple early selections propels clubs into premiership contention, but that is easier said than done.

The draft is riddled with examples where teams picked up one star and missed badly on the other, but when they get it right – really right – the pay-off is enormous.

AFL.com.au looked back on the past 31 drafts since the inaugural edition in 1986 to uncover the greatest heists.

The rankings take into account players' impact at the club that drafted them and exclude the expansion drafts where Greater Western Sydney and Gold Coast had numerous top-10 selections.



1. Hawthorn (2004) Jarryd Roughead (No.2), Lance Franklin (5) and Jordan Lewis (7)
This is the scenario every recruiter dreams of, but rarely plays out. The Hawks changed their trajectory in one fell swoop in an extraordinary draft, recruiting two key forwards in Roughead and Franklin and a hard-at-it but skilful midfielder in Lewis. Only Roughead, now club captain, remains at Waverley Park, but their combined Hawthorn achievements include the 2008, '13, '14 and '15 flags (Franklin missed the last two after joining Sydney), 699 games, 1254 goals, two best and fairests, three Coleman Medals and seven All Australian honours. Lewis is still going strong as a Demon.

There is not a day that goes by that i'm not grateful for that 2004 draft.

Interesting strategy for Fremantle. They pick up two extremely talented midfielders but don't really rectify their pressing need for a key forward or back.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Saints pick up Hunter Clark with hawks future 1st,
Jaeger is German for Hunter after all.

All the talent was in the midfield for the early picks. Can't mess around with picks 2 and 5.

I agree. If we had live-trading, Freo probably would have dropped back from #5 to pick up a need in KPF/KPD

But yeah, I like the move from them. You take best available in the top 10, not necessarily what you need

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Collingwood picked up the kid that has the heart complaint. Apt.

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

Geez Jarrod Brander being selected by West Coast, the kid so wanted to get to the tigers.
Biggest I'm going interstate sook I've seen for some time at draft night.

 

[VandoHawk]

West Coast pick up two key position players with their first two picks?

 

[Alite]

Will Walker at 23. Hahahaha A classic Norf selection

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

A few little surprises so far, pushing a few back up the chain. We might have to take our time to decide between players.
