2018 Draft thread

[Hollow Knight]

Bit confused that we have addressed all our inside midfield needs, but not at all looking at a half back option with pace. Unless we have earmarked Bailey/someone else for that role?

Berry and potentially Answerth.

Who's to say we havent? Berry or Joyce might start there

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Do we still have our own 2nd next year? I'd trade it for Taylor. But not GC's 2nd.

 

[haystark]

Traded with North and we get pick 54.

 

[jackess]

With Warne as his uncle it's no wonder Taylor is a flog.

 

[jackess]

Great deal

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

Have we traded in to get 54?

 

[Dalions]

Joyce looks very lively, very Bailey like.
He could be earmarked for that role.

 

[Crawb]

Oooh. Getting rid of our 2019 4th rounder for #54. Solid deal. Looks like we're not done yet.

 

[WA Lion]

We've traded up to 54, kennerly as a halfback?

 

[Hollow Knight]

We just traded up to 54. Gave away bugger all too.

 

[Suitcase]

Good trade that one. Guaranteed to be a lower pick next year.

 

[BLions2k19]

Wonder who we're after?

 

[lioninthesand]

I thought he was quite pumped about coming to the club, albeit without having given it s great deal of thought. Surely you let it sink it before making such grand assertions (not you personally).

What are you referring to when you say Morris muck raking?

Yeah Smile Gate is a joke.

Ahh I suppose muck raking is not the perfect term as that's more looking for a scandle with a famous person.

Just instances like... MORRIS - "So Perth to Melbourne hey? big move, away from Mum and Dad, how are you going to go with that?"... DRAFTEE - "oh no I actually wanted to come to Melbourne to play my footy, so I am stoked", MORRIS *pauses with a silly confused look, "whats wrong with perth, is Melbourne better".. DRAFTEE - oh narr just want to play my footy in Melbourne".. MORRIS *pulls silly face... as if a kid being happy to move interstate is the most perplexing thing he has ever heard.

I felt like the telecast fanned the 'moving interstate flames' openly, as if.. it is a BAD thing, not going to help us if it is openly publicized as undesirable by the broadcasters.

First year I have heard it touched on every interview someone goes interstate.

His highlights didn't show the same run and carry but he gets busy at the clearances

 

[jackess]

These late picks are fascinating

You'd assume it's not for Coleman who might miss out

 

[mikey127]

Great trade

 

[carnthemlions]

So, there's a lot of midfield depth outside of the top few picks, but not much in the way of real standouts? Seems like clubs haven't rated most of the non mids in the draft all that highly. At least I hope that's the case, quadrupling down on midfielders might be a bit excessive otherwise- although you'd assume we might have one or two of them earmarked for other roles.

 

[mikey127]

How many rookie selections do we have.

 

[Dylan12]

Traded with North and we get pick 54.

How did that work; didn’t we only have pick 71 left?

This is so ******* confusing this new format coupled with not being able to watch it and only seeing pucks filter through.

Any reason last night should’ve occurred tonight and today’s draft tomorrow when people can actually watch it.

 

[dlanod]

Oooh. Getting rid of our 2019 4th rounder for #54. Solid deal. Looks like we're not done yet.

Got to be happy with that. A fourth rounder next year for a third round in a "super" draft.

Bailey was used off HB late wasnt he?

71 is basically invalidated.

None
