2019 Draft thread

Wonder if we'd be able to trade picks 29 and 34 for around pick 24 and a pick in the 40s if there was somebody at 24 we were keen on and didn't expect to last to 29

 

[M Malice]

For me i'd like to see Rivers, Rantall, Bianco Or Kemp available tomorrow night for us. Any of them I'd be happy with.

The first 3 are a realistic chance of being there at our pick, Kemp highly unlikely...IMO.

That would be my preference. But substitute a pick in the 50’s for a pick in the 40’s.

Secondly Deven Robertson, some phantom drafts have him sliding to mid teens others have him freo pick 8-9. If he is there around pick 14-15 I'd love to see us trade up to get him. Big fan of him.

Bit of talk Gold Coast are trying to trade 15 and 20 for the Bulldogs pick and a later pick, for Robertson.

 

[briztoon]

Did anyone catch Stephen Conole on the draft countdown show on afl.com.au?

Didn’t say much that stood out, other than there’s always options to trade up.

I was pretty busy with my daughter, so missed most of it.

My understanding is that it’s purely cultural with Taylor.

He’s supposed to be a good kid with good character.

Yeah I agree BT. That is the major difference between the Garlett and Taylor comparison. I think Silk would be fantastic for him.

Great article by our boy Mitch Robinson- Advice for draftees.

What senior players notice from a mile away is the new crop of draftees’ professionalism.

You’ve just come straight out of school where your mum and dad practically wiped your arse. So from week one until Christmas break, your weekly schedule consists of surviving the vigorous three 12km-plus main training sessions and two off-leg workouts (boxing, bike, swimming). Oh, and welcome to the new weights program.

To the Brisbane Lions draftees: See you next week.

I knew we took a little bit of a risk in bringing Robbo to the club, but I’m so thankful for what he has done for the Lions. Massive man crush.

So Dylan Shiel then?

One of those kids that didn’t even make the under 18 championships (so untested against the best) but is an athlete and has the Vic media PR machine behind him

It’s hard to take him seriously when he’s been crying wolf on academies for the better part of a decade

If he rates Green ahead of Rowell it's time he gave it away.

 

[Section 5]

Talk Richmond may trade first pick 19.
Is this what Lions talk hinting they may do something on first night?

 

[jackess]

On the AFL draft tracker they have Gold Coast's pick 20 being in the first round and our pick 21 being the first in the second round.

Is this correct?

Luke Jackson taken at pick 3, the first ruckman taken in the top 10 since Billy Longer.

The coverage on Fox is pathetic & the overall presentation is poor.

Waiting for the Swans pick, you could see on here screen a shot of Dylan Stephens super imposed with a Swans background while their room was on camera waiting for their pick. Wonder who they were going to pick?

There is AFL.com, but wouldn’t call it exciting. Panel of 3, player footage and interviews. Meat and 2 veg kinda coverage.

Don't mind AFL.com. Least they know the players. Have good insight to where players may be called. Interviews brief.
Don't have Foxtel. Just Chromecast to TV all good

Heeeyyyyyy... I can do that now! Cheers for the thought!

 

[jackess]

4 clubs end up with 10 of the top 12 picks

 

[bungalow_bill]

About what?

 

[Fagenslions36]

So would that pick 16 that got Brodie Kemp was that our pick or was that some earlier pick pushed back ? He is a big big boy

 

[BigCat2]

That was our original 1st pick that we traded to GC last year. Our previous first rounder this year is the next one, originally from Collingwood, now with Port.
