2018 Draft thread

[Brett C]

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.

Another day another whinge

 

[Tom14]

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

Ah, the dogs pick didn't get absorbed, nevermind.

But whatever, it is one spot.

 

[jackess]

You really get ****ed over by all these bids

 

[carnthemlions]

Is it just me, or are half the players who've been drafted so far very similar sounding midfielders?

I think at underage level the talented players play as a general midfielder

We have the opportunity to do the same though so meh. A bit annoying we didn't get the chance to do these shenanigans when we had higher rated prospects but we benefited from the hidden picks draft so can't get too worried about it.

 

[jackess]

Few more surprises today

 

[ManeMan]

Screw you Adelaide. I wanted Hamill!

 

[spotthedog1]

Darn - Hamill is one i liked.

Still - Valente and Taylor on the board is promising. Definitely into the third tier now - plenty of bolters jumping up.

 

[Suitcase]

Adelaide passing on Valente. Could we see a Jack Graham situation where he slides all the way to rookie draft as clubs dont rate his athletic ability?

 

[Harris Specter]

Surprised Valente is still available.

 

[jackess]

I reckon 35 and 38 will be a couple of talented footballers. Hopefully we can get them both before McFadyen

I don't think he was able to test at the combine due to injury so his athletic ability might be a little up in the air. If he's there at our pick I'd be happy for us to take him.

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

club that wanted Ely Smith at the draft as a potential pick.[/QUOTE]
totally disagree with your theory just because another club didn't invite him doesn't make him the best or worst player in draft and if you read posts from guys at the event we rated duursma ahead of him.

 

[marooned]

This is shit being at work and not able to watch

 

[KissKiss]

One thing to note is again Kinghtmare way over rated the Queensland Academy kids again. He does well in a lot he does but its still a consistent thing with him

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Can't believe Valente hasn't been taken yet

AFL App?

Always does it every year. Still love his write-ups, and they are very detailed.

You're not missing anything this coverage and general process is a massive dumpster fire

It's literally like the AFL got in at 1150 and went ok how's this going to work

 

[trikster]

Surprised Valente is still available.

I think his lack of athleticism is what has seen him drop.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I’m scared Melb will bid next on McFadyen.

 

[Tom14]

At least it is moving quicker today.

 

[Tom14]

I’m scared Melb will bid next on McFadyen.

Wouldn't be surprised if we do a trade with them to avoid it and give up one of our extra future picks.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Fucj. Valente gone.
