[Scythe]

Seems a good time to pin this:

• Deakyn Smith (delisted)
• Andy Moniz-Wakefield
• Jake Melksham (delisted, will be re-drafted as a rookie)
• Luke Dunstan (retired)
• James Jordon (signed with Sydney as a Free Agent)
• Kye Turner (delisted)

Traded out:

• James Harmes (Bulldogs)
• Brodie Grundy (Sydney)

Traded in:

• Tom Fullarton (Brisbane)
• Jack Billings (St Kilda)
• Shane McAdam (Adelaide)

Drafted:

• Caleb Windsor (Pick 7)
• Koltyn Tholstrup (Pick 13)
• Kynan Brown (Rookie)

 

[Headless]

Do you think questions will be raised if we see Grundy lining up in the back pocket?

I'll certainly be raising them, but mostly about the most appropriate type of hat for Tasmanian conditions.

Pretty much all the guns gone before our pick. Gold Coast getting an absolute free ride again. They should be winning 5 flags with the list they'll have! We need to get a pick inside this lot tbh. Will ne hugely disappointing if we don't pick up at least one from this lot.

How so? No Sanders, O'Sullivan, Caddy, Mitch Edwards. Mitch Edwards and O'Sullivan could be the best players of this draft.

 

[LeverPuller]

Everyone talking about NGA/FS/academy players as part of the pool needs to just stop. They are not available to us and won’t be available to us. Reality is that Freo 1st right now is still pick 4 of the open pool regardless of bids ahead of that point

I think you're getting hung up on semantics. If they're bid on then they're rated to be that pick.

Draft has become incredibly compromised in recent years and it's only going to get worse.

realistically though,Jed Walter was always going to be taken well before us. Ethan Reid doesn't even look that good to me and Sanders has question marks over his speed. Jake Rogers is about the only guy I'd want.

Nobody arguing that the draft is compromised, and it is totally ridiculous how much it is, but realistically it doesn't actually effect us is what LeverPuller is saying. In fact, it might help us this year, with the potential to trade for pick 5.

This time of year - beanie.

Summer - my preference is a nice bucket hat.

 

[Daemon]

Don't see many wearing that sort of hat around here, too fancy for the locals.

I get the wind reference by the way - been blowing here most of the week but looks good for tomorrow.

I did not give you permission to film me, please take this down at once.

So you want a 170cm inside mid as our first preference..?

Okay.

 

[pjfairbairn]

Why are West Coast above us after the Barrass trade?

Assuming part of the trade package was the ability to teleport Sydney's first to wherever you want.

Whoops. Maybe we do get Duursma after all.

 

[Bluelegs]

Whoops. Maybe we do get Duursma after all.

West coast would take Curtin anyway

Okay.

he's a gun mate. you realise he's a unanimous first rounder right? like you do actually realise this? You do realise that 2 players in the first round are 170cm?

Do you realise Kozzie Pickett is the same height and was a first rounder? You realise Liam Baker is probably going to be captain of Richmond too?

Your analysis has got to be a bit deeper than just looking at heights.

Pickett and Baker play positions that suit their height and size. They legitimately genuine small forwards/defenders.

How's a 170 inside mid gonna go coming up against Patty Cripps, Christian Petracca, Bontempelli

The fact that he's your first preference in a draft littered with classy players who would fit genuine needs on our list shows you're completely out of touch with what's happening in this year's draft.

Firstly, Cripps is overrated. 195cm sounds great but he's an absolute plodder. He's already been exploited defensively this year. What does he do with his height? Nothing.

Answer me this, why do you think Rogers is going the first round unanimously by all 18 clubs? Same with Watson. How do you explain this?

Also, as if you worry about list needs at the pointy end of the draft. You take best available.

Yeah Pickett and Baker play other positions. Rogers can too. Just because they play a certain position in their junior career doesn't mean that that's what will happen in their afl career.

That’s a stretch.

 

[danster168]

That’s a stretch.

Maybe. He's pretty damn slow though. And his lateral movement is poor.

His main flaw is he lacks burst speed. You’d much prefer Petracca/Butters/DeGoey types in finals.

100%.

I sense an unholy alliance forming.
