2019 Draft thread

We've traded out pick 61 for a future fifth. Completely irrelevant move lol.

Obviously doing it as we were going to lose 61 anyway.

 

[briztoon]

On a different point.

Where did the second round finish? Pick 45’ish?

Next years draft will be worse with the number of academy and f/s kids.

It won’t be so much the early first round, it will be the late first round and second round. The middle of next years draft will loooong.


And we just gave away a pick for free.

Got rid of 61 for something in 2020 round 5 Freo. Hardly a death ride but worth getting something for it

Gave up a bit for Robertson, but if you rank someone that high then you pay to get them. 2nd round pick moves back to 4th next year, wasn't like we paid massive overs. If we had him rated anywhere in the top 12-15 players, then i think we would be very happy with that price. Early bid for Coleman i think annoyed us, although i'm sure we had something cooking in the background in case that happened. Certainly not our first preference, but we shift some points into next year and then probably change our targeted players late.

Being a finals team now we are only looking at maybe 2 solid picks in a draft, and i think we managed to lock down 2 really good prospects, as well as secure the best academy kid.

Did we really need another key position defender?

He's 189. Not exactly key defender height in the AFL.

188cm? Doesnt really sound like a Key back

 

[BRAB]

Kind of annoyed we drafted a person named Jaxon but these are the hits you have to take to win a premiership

 

[LIONS08]

Mates with Deven possibly??

Half back flanker.

 

[chopperduck]

Being strong in the air / overhead seems to have been a bit of a theme for us this draft.

 

[lioninthesand]

Gotter agree with Dylan. Surprised to see us take 3 mid sized defenders, you would think we have enough in that area?

 

[Fagenslions36]

So what have we got for next years draft our first & ports first ? No second rounders ? Any academy kids next year

 

[notting18]

Interesting that Prior is the son of Essendon/Eagles player Michael Prior for a 90s flashback

 

[rangatangtang]

Andrews forward?

 

[Dylan12]

He's 189. Not exactly key defender height in the AFL.

I am sure they said on the telecast that he was a key position defender; clearly not based on his height.

 

[Saucery]

Where I live there are a lot of horse studs and they often put a Shetland pony in the same field to keep the champions happy

 

[trikster]

Screw Dodoro ... picked Lachlan Johnson

 

[Dylan12]

And Essendon screw us again.

 

[Comeback Lions]

Johnson gone to the Bombers. That sucks.

 

[Daniels Riches]

2 mid sized defenders.

 

[BLions2k19]

I reiterate, I hate Dodoro.

 

[FFB1]

Screw Dodoro ... picked Lachlan Johnson

Had next to zero hope he’d end up at us

 

[Comeback Lions]

No issues now about rookie list for Skinner, Smith and Lyons.
