2018 Draft thread

[WA Lion]

What a f****** joke

Or that's just where we genuinely rate him? Seems early agreed but maybe we just rate him

 

[dlanod]

Melts over pick versus joy over Berry... Let's see.

 

[Suitcase]

How many spots did we have pre draft?

 

[seanthelion]

 

[Nunez]

The brothers are united!

 

[Tom14]

Just two picks before our next pick... Really would love another live pick before McFadyen bid.

I'd be extremely in favour of a trade up here.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Could have been a lot worse. Would have liked Taylor though.

 

[Haso]

Nearly all, if not all, draftees we pick up have tremendous character

Really just tremendous. Probably the best I've ever seen. Yuge.

 

[haystark]

Surprised at how early we went for him. But maybe the Lions heard whispers another club were after him and decided to pounce. Either way super stoked to have him at the club!!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Berry Boys!! That’s outstanding!

Bulldogs to bid on McFadyen here? They've got two more picks after our next one.

Why does Tom’s pic look like an AFLW player face swap

Agreed, better to reach a bit than to miss out entirely.

Looks a case of we have a set of players we want and will reach for them if necessary to get them in. Happy with Berry as he was played out of position for most of the season, so l think he is a lot better than what he showed

 

[spotthedog1]

Urgh. We rely on Essendon.

Please don't bid. I won't call you drug cheats any more! (OK, I probably will).

 

[Hollow Knight]

Very pleased for Berry Sr not having to try fly cross country to see 2 teams!

Wonder if he moves up now. Maybe we can give him a Phil Scully deal. 1.1 million a year to keep the photocopiers full of toner.

 

[jonnobackpocket]

very happy for the family

 

[trikster]

Based on Berry jnr raking before he first got injured this is probably about right.

 

[Suitcase]

Berry has huge upside. Would have been in first round contention had he not been injured. Not a reach at all in my opinion.

 

[Harris Specter]

Curtis Taylor still not selected. Off-field rumours may have scared a few clubs off.

 

[jackess]

Berry's highlights look great. Definitely talented.

 

[BrownYouGun]

These fkwits will bid on McFayden, guarantee it

 

[Tom14]

On a related note I hope now that Ainsworth's family have moved to Qld we seriously get in his ear when he is out of contract next.

 

[haystark]

Yep. Also our focus wasn’t so much on the draft but more mature players during trade week so not as much pressure to get most out of picks.

 

[Harris Specter]

Fingers crossed they don't bid. Lets us get 2 talented youngsters and then McFadyn with points.
