2018 Draft thread

Well, my mooted trade of our 19 and 35 for the Suns two picks now seems incredibly generous given they just traded them to West Coast for about half that. Sounds like it wasn't one tried by the Lions.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Haha what a disorganised mess this is.

AFL is a rabble.

 

[Tom14]

Another trade.

Good trade for the crows this time

Very good trade for Crows, assume they threatened to bid on Briggs and got GWS to give up a future second to avoid that. Still, GWS end up with Hill so could work out for them.

Mick Ablett is a ****ing moron

 

[Hollow Knight]

Geez a move up for Valente must be temping for us about now.

 

[Cockliff38]

Steve Hocking is going to murder someone by the time this is done

 

[trikster]

Mick Ablett is a ******* moron

He actually isn't, just tries to talk everything up too much on TV.

 

[Harris Specter]

Still plenty of talent left. Valente, Taylor, McFadyn, McKenzie etc;..

 

[Hollow Knight]

He actually isn't, just tries to talk everything up too much on TV.

Him and Shifter together is too much. Everyone is a superstar.

Mainly the rioli comment that pissed me off. Did he not see Cameron's mark and goal of the year contenders?

Gotta break that up if you're gonna have that, need a Simon Cowell in the mix.

 

[jackess]

After seeing the highlights Fraser Turner is who I've locked in on for our next pick

 

[jackess]

Lucky that this bid doesn't effect our picks

 

[jackess]

So this trade does effect our next pick

 

[jackess]

So now our pick 33 is pick 34 because of this bullshit live trading

****ing freo

 

[Tassie4ever]

Won't happen as long as Victorian clubs are benefiting. The moment a NSW/QLD academy player does the exact same thing, the rules will then be looked at.

Exactamondo!!!!!

Can you imagine the flying crap storm if Harris Andrews' father had been caught backgrounding Vic clubs that no way he'd be going to Melbourne, so forget it.

 

[Tom14]

Honestly I'm finding this more bearable than Brad Johnson and David King last night. But we are missing a bit more of a critical perspective on draftees - one thing I did like about Brett Anderson when he was in the media rather than recruiting is that he didn't claim everyone was a star.

 

[Crawb]

Suspect we'd have put an offer in to get the Dogs Pick 30 there. But alas not as good as Freos

 

[The Flying Belgian]

Mainly the rioli comment that pissed me off. Did he not see Cameron's mark and goal of the year contenders?

I think the "the competition needs a strong Carlton" towards the end of last night was it for me.

 

[Hollow Knight]

So now our pick 33 is pick 34 because of this bullshit live trading

******* freo

That’s ****ed.

They’ll probably bid on McFadyen.

 

[pulpdriver]

Tom Sparrow goes pretty early.

 

[Harris Specter]

That scared me. I thought they read out Thomas Berry for Melbourne.

 

[jackess]

Sparrow would have been good. Similar to Smith though

 

[Tom14]

So now our pick 33 is pick 34 because of this bullshit live trading

******* freo

I don't think so? Isn't that just the bid for West sliding it down?

 

[jackess]

Nope. They traded pick 30 which they would've used to pick 34 after us which was then brought up to 26 to match. Meaning an extra player will be selected before our second pick
