2020 AFL Draft Night - Chatter

[Giant Strides]

We may be looking to bring in some SPP players as well, I could realistically see a few types we'd target slide out of the draft

Except we may as well select them tonight ... unless we're genuinely unsure if they are worth selecting.

we committed to reid and said “wait & see” on Stein - so does that mean that Jake gets a reprieve?

No, Stein was kept, it was Sproule who was the ''wait & see''.

IMHO, we need to swap him for a tall defender.

Except my opinion is worth zero, as we've seen tonight!

right you are - sproule/stein/stein/sproule my bad.

question remains though....

 

[PMBangers]

Carroll is actually a ridiculous slide here, I'd trade in if we could to grab him

 

[GWS Goose]

I'm expecting pies to pick Kolar, so Callow might be someone we target but we don't usually go for that sort

Bastyy has been super bullish on Callow (from memory), hopefully we grab him.
Perhaps we're planning on grabbing someone completely unheralded

I like Callow, but we traditionally don't pick non-athletic KPP's (prior to Riccardi, who's turned out more athletic than I expected) so I wouldn't say we're much of a chance. If we trade in a Brand bid would be more likely, but again if we're coming back I want Carroll here, insane value

fair to say the reaction of Conor Stone & mates was a bit better than the Bruhn one

Too many Saints jumpers in there

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

the question has been posed by mrs noodle...

which is the more boring television event - draft or brownlow?

discuss.

 

[Giant Strides]

Not much social distancing there ...

Brownlow by the length of the Flemington

 

[Giant Strides]

If Essendon has passed ... does that mean if we select Brand that Essendon couldn't match?

 

[Giant Strides]

Damn, Bulldogs pulled that trigger.

[Giant Strides]

I reckon that we'll need to select a back up tall in the PSD or rookie draft ... Oscar McDonald

the only other real option I think.

And I'd still aim for Ginnivan or Winder as a small forward; Winder the more multi-talented who could fill back or wing roles as well.

 

[PMBangers]

Might get a steal at Pick 58!

I didn't expect us to actually do it the mad lads

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

2 falcons - are we still going with the “bring a friend” strategy?

 

[Giant Strides]

Do we pick up a final player - supposedly we liked Jack Ginnivan, small forward to replace Zac Langdon

Didn't expect Wehr, but not terrible, if we've got the spots Callow and Kolar wouldn't look bad around here

He'd probably reach us in the rookie draft but not be the worst option

 

[Andre the Giant]

Just spoken to a few mates in recruitment...to say they were bemused with our strategy tonight is an understatement. We would get a D but for the fact Bruhn is liked and we got that extra 1st rounder so it’s a C-. We’re a bit of a laughing stock tonight, let’s hope time can change that but not holding breath.

 

[GWS Goose]

I saw Fleeton talked up on someone's draft board and read the Weir article.
Hopefully some late gems.

Big on Fleeton for us, that type of defender that just gets it done tall or small, knows his limitations re: skills and athleticism so doesn't make too many mistakes, could be a Corr type in future
