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):

 

[PJ Power]

Don’t think I’ve ever heard a pre-draft interview like that before. Sinn talked like we had already selected him.

 

[benblinkau]

That's my thoughts about Luko. He was drafted as a forward who was described as the second coming of Nick Riewoldt. He's now playing as an okay rebounding KPD. If we spent two first round draft picks for that, I'd be fuming.

Let him rot at the crows

If all the predictions are saying we are getting Sinn then I’m fully expecting we are not going to get him. How many times were these predictions correct in the past??

I pity the poor bastard every time he ****s up...

cardinal sinn, committed one of the seven deadly sinns, he sinned and was banished, that was an orignal sinn, that was as ugly as sinn, he atoned for his sinn, committed a multitude of sinns, etc etc.

I hope its pronounced differently for his sake.

Yes, "It'd be a dream come true" he reckons, which is going beyond just saying all the right things, ie he's not just saying that about getting on a list - that's a given. If his former Sandy Dragons team mates Bergman and Lord have been in his ear then that bodes well all around. That said, I think I saw something yesterday saying he was a big Carlton fan.

Twomey’s first round predictions are usually pretty close

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

He looks like a Ken Hinkley type player

The way he was talking, makes me think it’s a near certainty. At least he sounds keen to get over here

 

[Chewy316]

Looks like Sinn will have the size in future years to play in the guts as well. Use his speed and strength to break through lines on ball.

Our record of drafting at the top end over the past 8-9 years is pretty bloody good. Whoever we draft tomorrow night I will back to be a very good player for our club.

Maybe pre match NTUA, after Goal Original Sinn?

reminds me of Ben Jacobs

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

I think I've mentioned it before, but the shoulders on Sinn are ridiculous and he genuinely looks like he'll fill out to be a very strong lad. I'd be pumped if we ended up with him, obviously ridiculous potential - just not 100% sold because this year he was robbed of showing his midfield wares through injury/COVID.

But at the same time, if he got to do that, perhaps he wouldn't be there at our pick (might still not be).

It was amazing. You really did get the impression we had already drafted Sinn.

This draft feels highly orchestrated. He's been linked to Port non-stop since yesterday. Then cRowie interviews him.

It's going to be weird if we don't draft him.

Ever since I said get on the Sinn train

We seem to go out of our way to target guys like this. Mitch Georgiades and Dylan Williams fall into the same category. It seems our scouts are very happy to back in bottom age form.

Also helps that we continually fall into the draft range that it's worth taking that punt, at the same time as having a list that doesn't have glaring holes. We are really fortunate from a list perspective if you think about it.

Ive wanted Sinn since the first time I saw him play. Im still refusing to get my hopes up

Does sound to good to be true doesn't it

We have a good record of getting in players you like. We all remember the Joe Atley reaction!

 

[Revan11]

Did someone say we might go after GWS pick 13?

 

[robbo1981]

I'm definitely keen to trade back in but not our first especially if the best we can get is GWS pick .

Did someone say we might go after GWS pick 13?

Apparently it's up for grabs and if Twomey is right best we could hope for would be Sonsie or Goater as mids Van Rooyen maybe not sure it's worth a future first.
I would prefer to get back in to get Roberts if he does slide to the 3rd rnd for swans future 3rd.

Yeah.

That ended well lol

 

[robbo1981]

I see Mayes and Davis from Adelaide made a late registration today for tommorows draft I thought the idea was to take Mayes as a rookie?

He needs to register so we can pick him!

Makes sense lol lucky they excepted the late rego.

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Stable teams endure. Would rather be Geelong over last 5 years than WC

Over the last 5 years you'd rather be Geelong than a club that has won a flag and is the most successful club off-field?

 

[davesnothere]

So what's Sinn's nickname?

Greedy?

Lusty?
