Game Day 2021 AFL Draft & AFL Rookie Draft

[dexter_]

Take two mids with 8 and 10 and then van Rooyen with 15?

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Prepare them for the Vic flanker...

"Tarquin Generic-Anonymous, a real bolter here from Freo. 65kg running off half back for the Oakleigh Chargers, but we project he may progress to back pocket with a few pre seasons under his belt"

 

[salim malik]

What's the deal between us and GWS

 

[Wabjub]

Whats this on fox footy saying news on potential trades involving us and gws between picks 7 and 15...

 

[Roy Chook]

On Kayo, Josh Morrison said there will be a potential pick swap between Freo and GWS

 

[PowerToThePurpl]

GWS are probably thinking 15 and future 1st for our 8 to get Gibcus. Wouldn’t mind it.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

GWS are probably thinking 15 and future 1st for our 8 to get Gibcus. Wouldn’t mind it.

I'd go for this solely on the basis that it completely eliminates the chance of us taking Gibcus ourselves if he's still there.

 

[salim malik]

GWS are probably thinking 15 and future 1st for our 8 to get Gibcus. Wouldn’t mind it.

Why, GWS future pick could be 16/ 17

 

[Troy Cooked It]

Thats a hard offer to turn down as it gives us a good hand for next year, but throws away the top talent. We would end up picking from the next tier down which I don't think is worth it.

 

[Midnite65]

GWS are probably thinking 15 and future 1st for our 8 to get Gibcus. Wouldn’t mind it.

If we want to win a flag in 4 years you cant give up a top 10 pick to move further down and get a pick next year.

 

[Carnthedockers]

Confirmation we won't be pulling any surprise moves.

 

[DragoDelph]

Could then trade our own F1 back into this year.

 

[Ge3ks]

Got my nachos and frozen margarita. Let's goooooo....

 

[wayToGo_]

Just think of the skinny Vic HBFer we could get with GWS' #15 though!!!

 

[Wabjub]

GWS are probably thinking 15 and future 1st for our 8 to get Gibcus. Wouldn’t mind it.

I wouldn't do that. Hit this draft and get the players... I'd only do that trade if gws and considered a huge chance to be bottom 3 or 4 next year.

 

[Tony_Clifton]

Some scuttlebutt from a friend of a friend. Back in 2016 we took Logue at 8. It was the sensible option. Tall and local. But it could easily have been someone else.
So my uncle's friend said Lloyd, our list manager back then, used to leave Matt Price's "Way to Go: Sadness, Euphoria and the Fremantle Dockers" with potential draftees if we interviewed them twice. But the thing is, he had slipped in a $100 note at the start of the last chapter.

The night before the draft he would ask them how they're feeling and if they read the book. Most picks found the cash after flicking through the book. A particular douche when told about the money lied. Now this is where it gets interesting. One player found the $100 and posted it back to LLOYD with a note saying he wants it back with interest when he wins a premiership for Fremantle.

And that players name..... Will Brodie

[Arkhitect]

Here we go...

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Is there a stream? My Foxtel seems to be stuck on Bubble Guppies

 

[salim malik]

That's the spirit.

 

[freo_leo29]

I hope it's before. once around 4:50pm hits I'm offline and unreachable for over an hour - so i'll miss the best part.

picks start at like 4:30 and then its 5 minutes on the clock for each pick so ours won't be until after 5

 

[ChimpaWompa]

they should do the draft backwards, build up the suspense

 

[Ge3ks]

AFL website or app has a stream.

 

[gaskin]

Shut the **** up Gil. Nobody gives a ****.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

All good found the stream

 

[wayToGo_]

Forget the live stream of the AFL Draft... we need a live stream of BigFooty poster's facial reactions when Fremantle inevitably choose Gibcus with our first pick.
