2019 AFL draft - Jackson at 3, Pickett at 12 and Rivers at 32

[Cobwebs]

Story in the HS saying Dees ponder giant draft move (green bid) but have been urged to pounce on one of the nations best ruck/forward prospect. That is all I can see as don’t have full acces.

Sumich [his coach] talking him up prior to the draft evidently. Couldn't read it myself but that is the chatter about it.

This is the weirdest first round ever. 2 picks inside the top ten and i have no idea who we are targetting.

I kind of like it, the top 5 picks are usually already well known by now.

Think it also points to how clear of the pack the top 3 are (Rowell, Anderson, Green). Throw a net around the next 7.

I’d rather take Young and whoever slides to 8.

Whether that’s Kemp or Jackson I’m not too fussed.

It’s just Peter Sumich pumping up Jackson’s tyres. Would not be surprised if he’s doing some mate at GWS a favour ... trying to get us not to bid on Green. Bit of ducks and drakes going two weeks out from the draft, would not be the first time.

 

[GatesOfHell]

Well at least we wouldn't lose the contested possession count ever again.

True dat. Just have a side with 17 contested mid beasts, a ruckman and four key talls. Opposition can’t win if they can’t get their hands on the footy.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

If we don't bid on Green at 3 we're ******* nuts.

we should definitely fold if we don't

Nothing would make me happier than seeing the MFC fold.

I think we would all just be relieved for the nightmare to be over

The last person Sumich pumped up was Sydney Stack.. so glad we didnt listen to him.

I'm on the champix right now to quit smoking and the dreams are insane.

Oh God yes- I used champix once and the dreaming was bizarre. Every second night waking up in a cold sweat because I thought my socks were trying to attack me.

Ive had mostly good dreams so far. The bad ones are pretty bad though.

Sounds awful but it'd be so nice not to be emotionally invested anymore.

I could finally release my Australian attachments and move overseas. Somewhere exotic like Paris or Tokyo or Winnipeg

It'd be a relief if the Dees folded but I'd find some other awful sporting team and waste my life on them instead

I think I've got Stockholm Syndrome

I've recently formed an attachment to the Cleveland Browns ... so I'm already sorted.

They sound s**t, I'm in

The syndrome are currently 3rd in the Swedish league

But we do get to see them fold. On field at least, it’s become ritual.

Great choice been following them since the early 90’s lots of parallels with the dees, dominant in the 50’s and 60’s legendary coach from that period haven’t won anything since 64, did fold in 96 and since their return in 99 have been horrible, 1 playoff appearance 2 seasons above 500,comical drafting and recruiting, but massive expectations this season which had lead to a 3-6 start and lots of calls for the coach’s head and universal condemnation.

I know right ... how could I go for any other team?!
