Game Day 2019 National Draft

[Ports1870]

Was working all night, can someone explain everything that went down. Already got an idea of what we did.

 

[Granny Duurs is Lovely]

Suspect we had Pickett as our first pick, but when the Dees took him, we just went with whoever was left.

So we have first pick tomorrow. Any decent types at all left?

Listen to Chris Davies on the draft show right before the draft, we hoping looking for someone to play Rozees role forward. Bergman is that man - athletic high leaping forward who's got a big kick on him. We clearly wanted Bergman (maybe still at a later pick, but we definitely wanted him).

I dont know enough to have my own board.

I am genuinely curious about this one.

I have seen a number of posters rating this pick in hindsight which is encouraging.

Just wondering why noone seemed to rate him prior.

It's hard to rate players who miss entire seasons of footy as an amateur draft watcher as there is zero new information to go off. So you are rating him off what he did last year when he was 16 for the whole season. A lot of the media draft guys do the same thing. They fall down the list, not because of lack of talent, but because you don't see them play at all. Last year he was very impressive and had a decent champs as a bottom age player.

I tend to under value these guys when putting my list together. There's a bit of out of sight, out of mind about it. I feel on talent, I don't think we've "reached" much at all on this pick. There is risk there, but hopefully he is over his injury now.

He is a genuine talent. Why wasn't he spoken about? Mainly because he wasn't linked to us at all.

This pick isn't worth melting over

 

[Granny Duurs is Lovely]

We’ll go a tall defender tomorrow (Worrell or Gould) or Bianco or Rivers.

Honestly, just pick Robertson and we can overlook the other nonsense.

We could have had Kemp and Robertson tonight.

Why would we take Robertson when we're getting Mead and just recruited 3 mids last year?

Which is exactly the type of key forward we've been screaming out for for a decade

Hi Macca19 is he more of a Lych or Darling type?

Edit: Was also going to include Gunstan but he's a bit taller.

 

[philthy05]

Also, how much would I kill to have multiple draft picks in the 22-35 range right now. A club could clean up.

north and Brissie are well placed

Gould Robertson Taylor Worrell Sharp rivers and rantall all on the board.

theres so much talent right there.

First pick:




Second pick:

Liked for Iceberg.

 

[Macca19]

Yeah, I noticed the bit about him being quick to the ball and a good mark. At 191cm he sounds more like a Jack Riewoldt than a Lance Franklin. The only downside is his 78kg frame. He will need to bulk up pretty quickly if he is to make a quick impact.

He clocked in at 192cm/87kg at the draft combine. 78kg is an old figure.

 

[Incarnate]

Who ******* cares. We're a trash heap in a competition that is so heavily rigged against us.

A little ray of sunshine....you ok sunshine?

 

[FrankDrebin]

After watching 45 seconds of highlights and reading a couple of reports, I have pegged Bergman as a Jesse Palmer clone. I do enjoy the name Miles though.

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

As resident Crows Tom Lynch fan for years I am more content now

 

[Granny Duurs is Lovely]

The pick we traded Howard for wasn’t that Georgiades reach btw.

that was our future 1st and pick 29.

the pick tomorrow is the one we traded Howard for.

I would have thought Georgiades was a slight reach at 29.

Look at the players going in the draft at 20,21 etc. The guys hyped in the media clearly arent all they're talked up to be or else another club would take them asap. We're not reaching anymore than Carlton or Richmond really, we're just taking the player we want on a needs basis before another club would take them.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Ugh I just really wish we'd picked Kemp. I wouldn't have cared if our next two picks had been Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy if we'd gone Kemp with our first.

 

[DaTBird187]

When that plays on repeat it sounds like this.

 

[NEGAN]

I'm not mad that we picked up Georgiades. I'm mad that we traded a first rounder + 29 to get the pick we used on him when he probably would've still been there at ****ing 29.

how do you know?????

 

[Incarnate]

It’s a bloody governance issue within the club.
Where are the checks and balances to stop that sort of reckless drafting and it is reckless drafting.
Both of those players that we drafted tonight should not have been inside the top 20.
They just needed to pick solid top 20 draftees. That should never happen.

 

[philthy05]

Mcasey is a reach at 6 but at least if you’re gonna reach, reach for a 197cm kpp when kpps appear to be becoming scarce

 

[Macca19]

He plays similar to Gunston.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

He clocked in at 192cm/87kg at the draft combine. 78kg is an old figure.

thats a really good size

 

[Granny Duurs is Lovely]

I don’t get the point of trading down to 22 and getting 55? Isn’t that 55 just going to get eaten up in a Mead bid?

It was effectively for Freos future second. Thats a good deal.

We gave them points to match the henry bid for their future pick and then got enough points for mead back with the carlton trade.

 

[benblinkau]

Probably a player that will play 10-15 games next year, make an average impact and get some hype by the media but stagnate for the following years to follow..

Yeah with a name like Miles Bergman he could be the next James Bond.

He's got a bit more going for him than Palmer did

If we did that sucks melb used our bloody pick

 

[Adz2332]

Sadly that freo trade was my highlight.
