Spoiler: Lore's 2020 Draft Order

Operation Market Garden

Hopefully the result is more positive this time..

 

[Souup]

Anyways.... How about the draft?

Who's in the 13-25 range for our D's pick?

On SM-G965F using BigFooty.com mobile app

I've wanted Finlay Macrae at the Dees pick for a while now. Depending on how things pan out he might be there regardless if they make the 8.

Phillips at 2, Macrae at Dees pick would be excellent. These 2 have also played together as part of the Oakleigh Chargers Premiership team last year so there's likely some chemistry there between them. Shame they couldn't boss the midfield together this year.

 

[LB2Snake]

Yeah Tankin’ for Rankine was the go, as was atrocious for Lukosius.

I can’t find anything meaningful to rhyme with Hollands so I’m going with sh*te for Mr Highlight.




Macrae, with a bit of luck.

what about Dutch Auction

I’ve seen Macrae at APS level the last 2 years... and have to say I’m not a massive fan.
The kid is ok, he runs ok, he uses it ok... he seems an introvert, who just is a bit too vanilla for my liking.
Thoughts on taking someone like Ford, with the Dees pick if we do go safe with Phillips with the 2??

We could always just Dutch Oven ourselves.

Interested to know if the same was said about his brother.

Yep spot on... he could turn out to be a jet.
But I haven’t seen it in the 8 full games I saw him play.

The club has been doing that for about 20 years

Another Motlop on the scene

Sons of guns star as Aquinas thrash Wesley

Aquinas livewire Jesse Motlop has kicked 18 goals in two games against Wesley within a month including seven in today’s 74-point thumping at Rossiter Oval. He wasn’t the only familiar name to impress.

Which Motlop?

Which Motlop?

Daniel Motlop is his dad. Freo NGA as well.

Daniel Motlop has a kid on the draft scene?

At least Daniel didn't reach 100 games with us just to rub salt into the wound.

 

[Rooboy 96]

As BBB will be a FA next year, if we really want to put BBB on the market and no one is prepared to pony up the equivalent to a top 5 pick, would we not do a 1 year contract and then let him go as a FA next year, you would expect that to get you a pick after our first, only if we really see our paves taking different directions.

Poor Freo. Are they ever going to find a player in their NGA?

Hopefully they are canned at the end of this year.

What will it be for Freo? 3 x first round NGA selections in a row for them this year?.....

Chris Johnson and Motlops kids being in the NGA are just ridiculous.

Now that makes one feel old. Seems like yesterday I was watching him as a kid at Port Melbourne.

He's only 38, had his boy when he was 22 while he was still at North.

If Boomer had Cooper at the same age he would of played with him......

Last year only six players were taken from NGAs. Freo took three.

While it probably has already been posted in the 90 or so pages already in this thread, I would like to know what the experts here consider their top 3 picks in the draft based on best available (outside of JUH).

Was always going to be an absolute rort when they enabled the WA clubs to take aboriginal kids.

No surprise not a single one of them is from a background other than an aboriginal one.

It's probably a clear top 4 for us at #2 imo.

Hollands, McDonald, Phillips and Thilthorp in no particular order.

It's like Geelong getting an academy to draft bulky western Victorian boys that grew up on dairy farms.

Now you're making me feel old, to think you were just a kid when Daniel was at Port Melbourne.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Ahhhh Daniel...........enormous skills...........and the brain of a duck.
