[FAITH]

That would be gold if it comes to fruition. If you had the opportunity to take Thilthorpe at 9 you'd definitely take Hollands at 1

McDonald and Bruhn. Hollands and Bruhn.

 

[FAITH]

No one. I'm yet to see anyone who rates him outside of the top 5

Special sources, you wouldn't know about them.

 

[hey shorty]

Special sources, you wouldn't know about them.

The ones you smoke ??

We know you just like to be different, that's fine.

Cmon shorty..one of the lads on here said he saw that people on twitter rated mcdonald over thilthorpe..thats just about game set and match as far as arguments go

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Are the Vic kids getting opportunities to play now, even trial games or anything?

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Wasn’t deadline today for FS and NGA noms?
Nothing from the club re: Borlase and Newchurch

A couple of "special" training sessions for the AFL scouts to assess, what exactly that entails nobody knows at this stage.

I think we'd have heard if we WEREN'T nominating them.

Given that, you’d think some of these Vic kids might start getting touted as early picks?

They already are - Perkins, Bruhn

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

So the big 5 will become the big 10 soon enough. Works for us.

Yep..and if Faith gets his bet with me right and Thilthorpe lands at pick 9 (which he won't) and we get Hollands and Thilthorpe, it will be one bet I don't mind losing

 

[rabidcrow]

I can see them doing a pick swap with 22/23, so that 40 is our 4th pick - but I don't see them willingly making 5 selections in the ND.

Listened to Road to the Draft tonight and Guru Cal reckons Zavier Maher could go as late as 40. Wouldn’t be surprised if we hold the pick and use it - or trade it out late if no one of interest is on the board

It's hard to tell given the lack of development these kids are going to get in a very important year.

In a time when recruitment groups are being cut left and right, everyone will be taking bigger risks

I'm not sure even a date has been set for it yet but it needs to be soon.

That would be the steal of the draft.

What was the bet? I want to know what you have already won

 

[hippyhippy]

Thilthorpe won't be taken before pick 9.

Will he be taken at 9?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

If you knew you could get Thilthorpe at pick 9 (the filthy coke fiend with no mates) then you’d go dutch with pick 1

 

[hey shorty]

Interesting that Knightmare, although he rates Hollands, thinks he stagnated a bit in 2019.

Bit like Rozee, who dominated underage footy the had a poor 2018 champs. Great finals series though.

Absolutely you would.

 

[mickfaxis]

Whoever we get at 9 the club will say was "in the mix for our first pick" and "we had him in the top 3 of this Draft".

I was a bottle of wine. It's a few pages back.

Bit like rating SA players he watched with his SANFL Digital Pass eh?
