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):

 

[Interstater]

Freo are going to get a good price for Pick 21.

 

[El_Scorcho]

No fake rumours

The fact that every single mock and source has had us as taking sinn for weeks now means that we absolutely telegraphed who we wanted.

West coast took advantage of that and likely called us up and said if you want sinn you have to trade, and we didn’t call their bluff.

Yep, I suspect that's what's happened. From the predraft interview with Sinn you could tell he'd been told we'd do what it takes to get him as well.

Happy to have him, I trust our recruiters. I think the bigger mistake was not getting enough back for Ladhams, but what's done is done.

 

[philthy05]

This is some real Qanon style conspiracy theory ranting here.

Lol how?

As I pointed out, every single mock and source has said for a while now we are taking sinn.

As it turns out it wasn’t a random guess, there was obviously intel around that port were keen as hell on sinn.

West coast used that against us.


I’m not sure what part of that you find so bizarre or unbelievable.

 

[Rendaw]

Johnson, Sonsie & Knevitt I still want on the board

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Its a 2nd round pick to ensure we got who we wanted. Who gives a sh*t.

Considering we traded a second rounder to get a all Australia key defender I’d say it does matter. Especially since Essendon told Hobbs they are gunna draft him. I’m happy with Sinn but doesn’t seem smart by port

 

[Macca19]

Will be interested to hear what the knock on Johnson is.

 

[shewho]

We need to trade up and get Johnson or Goater.

With what? The shit we left in the bed when we traded up to get Sinnn?

 

[Husker]

We clearly wanted Sinn. Respect the conviction of our team. Go get the player you want. We hopefully wont pick high often.

The Ladhams trade should have done that.

Ladhams was out the door regardless by the end of 2022. If Port got that type of compensation for a Butters type player I would have been shattered, but Ladhams ain’t no star nor a particularly disciplined player.

 

[Chopperdave]

Just because Essendon said they'd draft Hobbs doesn't mean they wouldn't have drafted Sinn if he was there.

When it comes down to it literally no one here has any idea what actually happened unless they were sitting on that table. So everything else is just wild conspiracies.

 

[gbear]

Essendon room looked deflated that we took Sinn just like when we took Greorgiades from Geelong

Always good to cut Essendon lunch

 

[Macca19]

Especially since Essendon told Hobbs they are gunna draft him.

That was not what Hobbs said. His words were "if i'm there it could happen". could happen. How many other players do you think Essendon said "it could happen" to?

 

[Dylan8]

I wish I had a ginned up Portia on the airwaves to tell me why this pick stinks

 

[Revan11]

Happy with the outcome. Essendon or Brisbane would've taken Sinn. We probs had to beat Brisbanes offer to West Coast.

 

[1954]

This kid better not be Ben Jacobs across half back-

Gave up Ladhams and a 2nd round 2022 pick to get him.

I can see a bit of Jasper 2 dads in the way he plays as well, hopefully we won't see as many bomb scare moments as that bloke.

 

[Jojay]

Johnson sliding big time.

BF servers are surely cooking tonight

Yeah….nah. Pittard was not best 16 yo footballer in the country at some stage.

 

[Macca19]

Some crazy bolters

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Johnson sliding big time.

We should trade our future 2nd round to get into this years draft to get him tomorrow night… oh wait

 

[philthy05]

I don’t see any pittard in sinn.


The player I think of (tho it’s been a while since I watched him cause I didn’t pay attention to him late in his career) is Brett delidio.

 

[melanChronic]

Lol yeah Sinn looks nothing like Pittard. He's a brute and from those highlights reminds me of Luke Hodge.

 

[x_les_x]

****ing lol everyone whipping sinn for all the about hour that hes been in the club. Hes not shittard he doesnt weigh 13kgs looks more solid.

Calm ya ****

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

If there is an early bid on burgoyne we are stuffed.
