Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids.
Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish.

Trade speculation belongs here.
That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades.

Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk belongs here.

Won’t get past Carlton unfortunately, they are into him big time

That's why we trade up and get in before Carlton

Have a feeling North's haul tonight will end up being eerily similar to ours in 2005

The AFL like this

 

[Ashman23]

Who knew there were 29 teams in the league for all of them to get a first round pick.

 

[HawthornHawk]

The AFL like this

I didn't actually mean it in a complimentary way haha

Neither. It's corrupt and exactly what the AFL want.

They would let us rot

 

[Philhawk]

It's insanity that the NFL has 32 teams and their first round lasts only till pick 32.

Madness.

 

[theiaofseed]

27% of the players selected have been tied to Academys or father son.

 

[CobberRodgers]

Bombers pick now back to 38 or something like that. We all know what’s coming.

 

[TylerDurden]

 

[H00t]

Still think he didn’t wanna end up in Perth but it was out of his hands

Probably wanted to avoid North as well. Easy for him to do a JHF and try and leave as soon as he gets the chance.

Hope not. We picked 3 premiership players and one 4 time premiership player that year.

Wardlaw, Sheezal, McKercher, Duursma are 4 seriously good footballers.

I think what he was getting at was our 2005 draft was a really poor one for us despite how many picks we had.

North’s highly likely to end up the same given they can’t develop anyone.

Ryan been on the beers? ****ing lol

Surely not

The silver lining is that Norf are a seriously bad football club

5 Actually

Ellis, Bailey, Birchall, Guerra, Gilham.

Simpkin, Spangher Also drafted in 2005.

 

[hawkinoz]

Crows pick a unknown Oscar Ryan with their last 1st round pick.

Can't see his name in any of the rankings, need to check rookieme. Wonder if they felt someone else was looking at him too, could have traded that pick to us for 44 & F2 and we could have taken Logan Morris.

Guerra and Gilham were not ND

 

[Blackhawk42]

32 picks in the first round aye?

 

[theiaofseed]

Wardlaw, Sheezal, McKercher, Duursma are 4 seriously good footballers.

3 of the 4 have done nothing yet,

 

[ML4Hodgy]

At least our Weddle trade looks even better. Pick in the 30s

27 (2022), 32 (2023) and maybe 43 (2023 - hard to tell with the bidding) for pick 18.
What a bargain.
