Game Day 2019 AFL Draft

[LukeParkerno1]

Better not be Taylor that’s the pick that would make me so nervous

 

[Bandicoot]

After next years draft we will have a plethora of lefties:

Buddy
Rampe
Blakey
Dawson
Stephens
Campbell
Gulden

The more the better.

Sounds like a gamble. X-factor player who could turn into a goal kicking freak or crash and burn.

I’d rather take it at the next pick if need be. Just makes me nervous. Not sure we need a forward either

 

[RUNVS]

Then take another inside there’s plenty of them in this draft

None of whom are as good at it as Robertson.

In your view. There’s plenty. We don’t need some elite inside, just a solid inside is more than fine. Can always trade for an inside too if need be.

 

[Bandicoot]

I'd be happy with either Shoenberg or rantall with our next pick.

 

[Chaisa]

After next years draft we will have a plethora of lefties:

Buddy
Rampe
Blakey
Dawson
Stephens
Campbell
Gulden

And a lot of them seem our better kicks too

I don't think we have to draft midfielders only. I still hold out hope for Heeney and Mills as part of our core midfield so we need to backfill them with quality options.

Still interested to see how Lewis Taylor and Sam Gray slot in and what that mean for the team makeup the next few years.

 

[Chaisa]

Will be annoyed if Geelong pick Robertson. Suspect it’ll happen too.

 

[Tedeski]

Just a thought. I think we will do a deal with Port to take their pick 22. We will give overs in order to move up 5 spots.
Pick 27 & 45 (1050 points) will get the deal done. They will need some points for a bid on Mead & pick 27 leaves them perhaps with a pick before a bid.

Maybe this was about Flanders?

I’d like a KPD or a HB at one of these next two. I would have said a ruck but not sure there is one really.

Other teams would offer more you would assume. Getting 22 if we did I’d grab Bianco or Sharp

Bloody disgraceful. How can the AFL be sitting on their hands on this issue? It's ruining the integrity of the draft and the game itself.

Not understanding all the "shock and surprise" around our selection with Stephens at 5 Adelaide was going to take him at 6 right so??

Number five draft pick Dylan Stephens may be in for a culture shock after being drafted to the Sydney Swans.

AFL: Sydney to be a shock for Stephens

Sydney has pulled off the first shock of the 2019 draft
Sydney Swans throw first major AFL draft curveball to snatch star SA prospect Dylan Stephens

Thats the headlines from multiple articles i have found its weird and bizaree

Adelaide were mostly tipped to take McAsey at their pick, weren't they? Are we patting ourselves on the back in error? Reckon we could have traded down and got him at ten myself. And if not, no loss would have had Young instead.
Anyway seems like a good kid, has some skills so hope he goes well.

Well if your nervous I’d say he’s a good one, judging on your Flanders call...

If he was a horse, he’d be near the top of the list on genetics alone...
“TIM KELLY is his mum's second cousin. The Kickett brothers – Dale and Derek – & Narkles family are on his dad's side of the family, while Nicky Winmar and Paddy Ryder & Hayden’s are also in his bloodlines.”

I personally feel we have other pressing needs though- a KPD and a genuine inside mid. We did trade in Lewis Taylor.

He does look a talent just not sure we need him that’s all

 

[LukeParkerno1]

judging on your Flanders call...

I had Stephens 3rd on my list- I’m happy. The only one I didn’t want was Young. I didn’t care what mid we took I just wanted a midfielder. Stephens is perfect.

And yet with all that half the teams wouldn't pick him anywhere according to one bio I read. The mail was "unsure if he was ready to commit to the rigors of AFL life" or someithing like that. Good late round flyer only I hope.

Meanwhile most professional AFL recruiters would have taken Young 3rd...

Well they didn’t and you can’t wipe the smile off my face- he went all the way to 7 and let’s be honest that’s 8 as Green is in the top 7.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Flanders easily.

Have Flanders best on my board after the obvious 3 (Rowell, Anderson and Green)

Stephens!!

I’d be happy enough either way. Have him at 7, not a huge reach.

Uuhhhhhh.... huuhhhhhh....

The interview than will be crucial as long as the home visit.....also has connection to Buddy Franklin so might be a good role model....but yeah we don’t want another Byron Sumner....who had a lot of talent but not the drive..
