Is that bloke Blight who we apparently hadn't spoken to done anything to push his case lately ?

[ferball]

How did we overlook someone D’Ambrossio?

At least he can play at the level.

Because our KPD stocks looked poor so we picked Kallan Dawson instead. Do you not remember that?

Dooooont get me started. The only time we went needs based. Kal wasn't the worst pick though and fwiw I was against it at the time.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Good write up but the stats are more impressive than his game. No more than average and I’ll be disappointed if he’s our first selection

To be fair, the delivery inside 50 was absolutely atrocious today. Once he's in our system and receiving delivery from our players...

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

Geordie Payne was picked by the Allies to play against SA but opted not to play according to commentators

Now that's an interesting turn of events.

Decent sized unit, at least he can take a grab, those averages though 6-6-6 ha ha, looks like 74 marks in 8 games to me

Yeah ignore that. It's the same for every WAFL player.

 

[The acurate one]

Happy and merry MSD day North we have left you a gift under the MSD tree.
Why bother

 

[Chewy Chewman]

I’ve come around to the Geordie Payne pick. A productive small forward that’s quick, applies defensive pressure and kicks goals. Who got a BOG against an Eastern team boasting two likely top 10 ND players. Where do I sign

 

[ChairmanZia]

I doubt any WAFL player is AFL standard.
As we need talls we would be looking at Scaife
or maybe Teakle or even Joshua Edwards as a project. Or possible backup for X. Get some VFL and maybe a few AFL games into them.

Hang on, isn't the point of mid season draft is to get players in who can play straight away?

 

[Epictetus]

Hang on, isn't the point of mid season draft is to get players in who can play straight away?

Apparently not. We can't get drafting 101 right, but we'll try to beat the system again. Poor kid is no chance.

he's gonna walk straight into an AFL side and play finals this year

So there's about half a dozen decent players out of 62 picks. Pretty average strike rate.

 

[justroyal]

Hang on, isn't the point of mid season draft is to get players in who can play straight away?

Yeah and while people are saying Kal Dawson was an example of it working for us, which sure it was, he 100% was. But it took him like a year until he got some continuity of games even with bare backline.

So I’m not sure what the go is.

Edwards was touted as a top ten draft pick if he went to the NAB draft instead. Which makes me just a little anxious on the Goad development.

 

[7577969923]

Hang on, isn't the point of mid season draft is to get players in who can play straight away?

Not necessarily. You take the player that best fits your needs.

What is the point for us of taking a ready-to-go fringe player over a CHF prospect that needs some more development time?

 

[JGreezy]

Is this kid Payne comparable to Wardlaw/Comben in intensity, or is he closer to Stevo?

If it's the former, and he has competent skills, then bring him in.

 

[hilly]

Happy to crack into Rawling but Goad is already a better player than Edwards at VFL level (low bar). Doubt he plays until late 2025 at best.

Given our list profile being so young, is there any talent in the 22-25yo bracket worth looking at for our 2nd pick?

if we go Payne pick 1 then have to go KPF with our second pick so yeah Dixon would be one to look at

 

[Harris 10]

I’d be happy if we walked away from the MSD and said we just decided to take the two best defensive mids outside the AFL system.
In the hope that we lay a tackle through the middle of the ground or see a player run both ways by the end of the year.

I’d be happy if we walked away from it completely and didn’t let Brady make another **** up.

 

[7577969923]

l would have thought that like those on the LTI list TT is in the same circumstances where he is unavailable to play..

Does it really matter? It is hard to get too excited over pick 1 in the MSD. The idea that anyone of AFL calibre would be available at a third-pick is close to fantasy.

 

[Rooboy1708]

I’d be happy if we walked away from it completely and didn’t let Brady make another **** up.

I agree. No use just drafting players just because we have the spots unless there is someone we really want. Otherwise we could just end up with players who want 18 month contracts and become list cloggers next year
