Mega Thread 2021 Draft

[Lore]

Hey guys, scuse the intrusion. Thought you might like to have this resource on your board (mods might like to sticky):

 

[shewho]

Hobbs just said Essendon said they’d pick him if available- we jumped at shadows.

 

[Flash of power]

It's all about the big picture, we don't know all the details, but I for one welcome him

 

[Rendaw]

We cant trade our 1st now unless we get a 2nd back

 

[Chewy316]

So Essendon told Hobbs they were gunna draft him, so essentially we jumped at shadows.

You'd find the clubs tell plenty of players "if youre there, there's a pretty good chance we're taking you," only to pass on them when they're available and the club is on the clock.

Now if we trade we literally have a third rounder next year that’s it.

Port jumping at shadows have cost us. Joke. We would had gotten Sinn at 14

 

[RossFC]

The Finlayson trade is the only one that I’ve liked from us.

 

[Joshykins]

Oh well Twomey finished his streak with 11 from 11.

He had us taking Sinn at 14 not 12, didn't anticipate that trade.

Sinn sounds like Rozee in that interview.

Plays like a defensive version of rozee, too!

 

[240volt]

As usual West coast have pulled our pants down.

 

[philthy05]

So Essendon told Hobbs they were gunna draft him, so essentially we jumped at shadows.

I reckon west coast knew we had our hearts set on sinn and played us.

 

[Macca19]

Hobbs just said Essendon said they’d pick him if available- we jumped at shadows.

They would have said that to Ward, Sinn etc. as well

 

[Rendaw]

**** do what you can to grab Johnson he is still on the board!!!

 

[GoTheMightyCrows]

We just torched a future 2nd pick for no real reason, wtf?

 

[Interstater]

Moved again.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Sinn is a good pick but our trading staff have had a **** up and has cost us Johnson imo.

 

[Rendaw]

Johnson sliding

 

[PJ Power]

What? We gave up a future second rounder to go up two spots?
Didn’t we get their future second rounder back too?

 

[Rendaw]

Sinn is a good pick but our trading staff have had a **** up and has cost us Johnson imo.

The **** up was ladhams for an upgrade and nothing more. If we got that extra pick it would have been traded to WC

 

[HHHAMMERtime]

If Richmond have access to Johnson I’ll honestly rage.

 

[Rendaw]

Surely Richmond take Johnson now

 

[all seeing eye]

Damn it , a 187cm , 85kg explosive half/mid.

 

[Adz2332]

Lol each club would tell half a dozen players that about picking them if they were there haha

 

[dirty2]

So we traded 14+F2 for 12???

Would of been nice to get west coasts r3 2022 pick but it is what it is..

 

[SureBuddy]

If Richmond have access to Johnson I’ll honestly rage.

Well he has been passed over 16 times by all other teams... so maybe hes not as good as you rate him?

 

[Coobk001]

Hobbs just said Essendon said they’d pick him if available- we jumped at shadows.

We've absolutely wet the bed. No doubt.

You know what, it was probably a few fake rumours and WC have got us to cough up a free 2nd rounder and still got the guy they want.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Ohh well hopefully Sinn becomes a star and when we look back no one will care
