Game Day 2018 DRAFT - Christmas is early this year

[ABAB]

You think thats all that makes a team?
Dont see how another year into their next crop of guns like Crips, Weitering, SPS, Dow, McKay and then adding in Gov and and an AA in Docherty and a better run at injuries isnt going to give them a boost?
For real?

Both Brisbane and Fremantle will go pass next season, I can only see GC, St.Kilda and maybe Bulldogs/North around their mark so it will be a top 5 pick.

 

[jaytex]

Oh dear! Did .. not .. see .. that .. coming!

Is this another Doedee moment?

Oh well, I see the Death Ride Carlton threads are up and going again.

Well, maybe we're going after a player like Cam Taheny next year and will probably need a low numbered pick to do it.


As an aside, was at the Alma watching the draft and the Lochowiak clan was in attendance.

What's a Lochowiak?

 

[King Elvis]

Yeah but but the game changes quickly. Right now it’s about tackling, pressure and intensity, over skill even, but who’s to say it won’t swing back to speed and skill shortly?

Tall, strong, powerful midfielders never go out of fashion.

Hopefully the guys we got are guns, but a couple of short arses is a bit of a concern.

 

[FAITH]

Anyone else have an issue with Brad Johnsons eyebrows?

 

[Jars458]

I assume also we only have one more live pick so we expect to get who r always wanted with 21.

 

[Bicks]

next years draft is rubbish. a top 3 pick next year is 10th this year. There is no chance Rankine or Luko are coming back after one year. We just jumped at a trade we over thought and we drafted players we may not have drafted if we pre traded this pick before the draft. This is not Ogilvy's finest hour. In fact I don't think this trade will sit comfortably at all tonight with the AFC.

Ever seen Matt Rowell, Dylan Williams, Cam Taheny, Cooper Stephens, Noah Anderson, Will Gould, Lachlan Ash, Caleb Serong, Brodie Kemp, Lachlan Potter, Hayden Young, Emmerson Jeka etc play?

Nah, I didn't think so.

 

[dplggr47]

Well the trade and draft period summed up why we need changes at afc. ******* bewildered by our decision making. Why didn't we trade into the top 5 picks during the trade period? I hope we do well next year but until Burton and co are exited from the club nothing will change.

Because we couldn't and the clubs that held the top 5 picks were asking for too much. No club with a top 5 pick this year was looking at Crows pick 16 and 8 and thinking that's a good deal.

 

[maxlilly]

In Bolton we trust

 

[Thommo#21]

Just throwing it out there and I have no f****** clue at all but could it be part of a potential Brodie grundy trade?

 

[El Doederino]

Carlton have the 11th hardest draw. We have the 17th hardest.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Draft day commentators are predicting Carlton to finish mid-table next year

Lol, worst season in a century with a dud coach. If they get out of the bottom 4 it will be a miracle!

 

[CrowInFiji]

Blues board are stoked with the trade..... After so many years of being shit, you'd think they'd have a few reservations.....

The Blues board are stoked when they lose by less than 10 goals.

They are stoked when SOS gets reamed in a trade.

They are, year after year, delusionally optimistic about their chances of winning the flag in feb, making finals after losing first 5 games, finishing out of the bottom six after going 1-10, and finally when their spoon is cemented they begin their circlejerk over whatever poor **** is drafted by them at 1.

Luckily for us, we get to save that career, but watch the Blue morons still defend SOS.

 

[97-98]

No risk no reward, right?

God I hope it works out for us.

For real?

Their list is horrendous. One pre season into guys who've played less than 50 games isn't going to make them good.

Wright gone. Murphy, Simpson and Thomas basically done or close to it. They played guys like Polson, Lamb, Mullet and Silvagni for bulk games. Lang and O'Shea played 10+.

And we're talking about a club that will need to win more games next season than they've done in the last 5 to make this a bad deal

 

[Crow till I die]

So which players are we now following next season for our pick at in the top 5 for next year?

Cam Taheny...or we will look to engineer another 1st rounder to go with hopefully a top 4 pick from Carlton to get Lukosius or Rankine back - maybe this was in the thinking all along once we knew we could not trade up to get them now????

 

[adelaidecrows]

By giving out 2 of their best 5 players they did yes.

They're just about done in the draft, we have a great pick with some super players left and we are going to get a pick inside top 5 next season.

It's a decent win by us and I'm shocked weve been able to do it.

if you go through next years draw they have a genuine shot of winning upwards of 9 games because of the teams they play twice. if they win most of those they they will finish with a pick 5 or 6. see what happens I guess. I will chill out but this wont sit comfy for awhile

 

[El Doederino]

Lol, worst season in a century with a dud coach. If they get out of the bottom 4 it will be a miracle!

1 player already dropped for poor conditioning

 

[hey shorty]

Ever seen Matt Rowell, Dylan Williams, Cam Taheny, Cooper Stephens, Noah Anderson, Will Gould, Lachlan Ash, Caleb Serong, Brodie Kemp, Lachlan Potter, Hayden Young, Emmerson Jeka etc play?

Nah, I didn't think so.

Taheny please

 

[Danger in Texas]

Please can we get Noah Anderson next year

Please

 

[Wouldbetackler]

Are we thinking we will use our next pick or try trade it to say bulldogs for 30 & 35?

Suggest you give this a read

 

[jackster83]

Does this mean we'll use pick 73 (or whatever it is) now?

 

[Cleric]

Have you really taken the time to look at next years draft? Doesn't sound like you have. Go and take a cold shower and have a lay down.. you're melting.

Next years draft isnt anywhere near this. SA squad nowhere near as good, Vic Metro not that good either.
Best SA talent is Taheny and Gould. We have McEntee but he is small, Pickett I love but he is maybe late first or early second.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It would not surprise me if we now trade pick 24 for 2 picks in the 30’s.

Or we trade out one of our later future picks next year.

What's a Lochowiak?
