Review 2020 AFL Draft Live Chat

[Lore]

So this might look familiar but it's actually a new spreadsheet, built to hopefully make it easier to update during the draft.

Going to do the best I can, hopefully it doesn't break.

To embed the spreadsheet elsewhere on the forum use the following:

do essendon have spare senior list spots?

 

[nobbyiscool]

What did I miss watching footy this year?

In a year where none of the Victorian kids gets to play, apparently the biggest factor in drafting was whether you were taller or shorter than 2 metres.

do essendon have spare senior list spots?

we still have one more spot

im a little puzzled we passed on Pick 50 when you have a nice mid in Maher on the board

 

[trueblue_91]

Can someone explain to me why Dodo passed and then matched the bid?

 

[No SPIN]

17, 23, 30 + 31 (you already had 19) and some scrap points next year for Treloar, Stephenson, Phillips, Atu AND a future first which will most likely end up top 10.

Well done Ned Guy.

Last time I checked your list managers, for the last 20 years have been rewarding your Top 10 picks with wooden spoons.

They changed the rules a few years ago, you pass on each pick individually so clubs can get these academy players to slide to the rookie draft.

Free just did it too.
Possibly wanted to rookie list then if they made it through?

Have a read of my other posts and not just the critical ones. I’ve complimented your haul of kids tonight, arguably the best of all 18 clubs, but you clearly could have extracted more value out of your assets and Guy still has plenty of explaining to do.

Love Henry. Love Macrae. Like Reef and Poulter. Haven’t seen a heap of McMahon but he has the attributes.

Fair enough.

Don’t reckon Ned Guy has redeemed himself just yet, but he’s made very few mistakes tonight IMO.

Pies looking a lot better after tonight, compared to the end of Trade week.

 

[trueblue_91]

Makes sense, thanks for the answers!

i dont think we have any rookie spots left though.
certainly have a senior list spot still open.

 

[Wavvey]

Hard to dislike Collingwood's haul. Time will tell, but pretty impressive draft.

Hoping to get Brand for cheaper in the Rookie draft?

 

[perplexed]

Clearly Eddie Ford wins the draft for North. Well played team!

Isn't everyone taller or shorter than 2 metres?

Except those who are exactly 2 metres, I suppose.

you might have wanted to go with 36-6

and instead forced to go 37-5

 

[PMBangers]

Maher makes it to the rookie, will be watching closely to see who bites, Crows and North both need mids

 

[Pykie]

Maher makes it to the rookie, will be watching closely to see who bites, Crows and North both need mids

We just took Will Phillips, Tom Powell and Lazzaro.

Not sure he is a pressing need.

Crows have no rookie spots they have 5 rookies plus Gibbs will be a rookie for admin purposes then will go on inactive list so they will take an SSP instead or spare spot for mid season draft

north will have the first live rookie pick

 

[Ash1337]

Another year where dodo doesn't get in a big body mid and instead goes for talls and another skinny flanker. Crows recruiting looks spotty once again.

 

[Iron Bark]

Did you miss pick 1?

Exactly why. If he slipped we could have grabbed him as a cat B rookie.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Our rookie list Cat A is full.

Expect we take both our NGA''s as Cat B rookies... Borlase & Newchurch.

Maher has a better combo of size and pace than those guys, not to scoff at Powells burst

Just in time for your NGA next year. Shame

We took 3 mids, unless he’s more of a winger/hb/outside type.

More likely a project tall or general defender for needs.
