Spoiler: 2024 Draft Picks

 

[Better Loosen Up]

We're not getting 15, 16 and 21 for a F1.

Send back 25 if we have to

 

[My Left Foote]

I may have been slightly harsh on GC, not factoring Luko has 6 years left at $1m a season.

Atkins contract is terrible as well.

Unsure if GC is paying a % of either of these.

Pretty sure the Atkins trade was in part to get his wages off their books.

Dermie doesn’t seem to be a big fan of FOS

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Well I don't like him - especially after his personal attack earlier this year.

In fact, I loathe him. Despise is another emotion that comes to mind.

He's filth in my opinion.

Just to be clear.

Scavenging, opportunistic rodents would feel hard-done-by if a comparison was made.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Farking magical that was. Loved every second of it. Someone hand him a Logie. All is forgiven, Kane.

How has Parker taken this long? Surely AFL taking the piss and making us want until the last minute to confirm it tomorrow.

We couldn't trade any futures until the Houston deal was done

 

[The Talent Scout]

Barrass?

Kayle Gerreyn / Luke Urquhart ?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Sydney having nothing to do this trade period

Are unnecessarily dragging this out and haggling over a late pick for a veteran who they have already farewelled

 

[Lomas]

You cool Honey Bunny?

 

[Kangayroo]

Is he wearing a bra?

MANZIER!

Let's shelve the misery hey?

The famous proverb was originally spoken by the Demon Mephastophilis in the play “The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus” by Christopher Marlow in the 16th century, who said “Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris”, which roughly translates to “It is a comfort to the unfortunate to have companions in woe during the AFL Trade Period”. Simplified to “misery loves Big Footy”.

 

[Tas]

From the West Coast board:

"God help Pyke if one of the top 3 draftees has a Harry Sheezel like first year and we have Baker plodding along picking up 15 - 20 touches a game but having absolutely no impact on games a bit like Chesser (which is what i am expecting)."

They are a bit salty about Sheezel over there.

Nah. **** him. I hope that trade gives him nightmares all summer.

 

[DrZaius]

A reliable half back distributor is a massive position of need

Fisher, McKercher, Sheezel, Goater, Bergman, Hardeman can all play that role, with greater emphasis on the latter 3 as they seem to be earmarked for longer term roles in the back half. We also had Powell there at times this season too.

Now yes aside from Sheezel Houston is currently an upgrade on all of them, but Goater/Bergman/Hardeman have played a combined 30 odd games between them, I suspect Powell won't end up a full time centre-square midfielder long term either judging by how much his mid time fluctuates, we have seen what McKercher can do with his run and carry from the back half, and I need not explain re. Sheez and his versatility.

If in 2/3 years Goater, Bergman & Hardeman are clearly not up to it then fine we should be prepared to pay up for quality, but at the moment do we really need 8 potential distributors on our list considering the gaping holes we have in other areas? Especially factoring in the cost.

 

[krakouers]

Port board aren’t happy

Did you tell them they got Pick 50 extra?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Let's shelve the misery hey?

Agreed as a general comment for a few here.

I am disappointed by missing out, but I’m still excited to see the natural improvement from our list, the return of Goater/Logue, Parker and hopefully a few early picks. We will be right and will make Dan regret his choice.

 

[LB2Snake]

Corn is dreaming.

He is saying SANFL

 

[Jimmac31]

How do they turn 13 into multiple later first round picks?

Especially when it pretty much is a later first round pick in itself..

To paraphrase a great man, "out time will come".

 

[roospur]

Hitting the nail on the head there duck. The big clubs are going to come after our talent with big offers probably to good to refuse

Yeah cos we've never had good players before So many chicken littles on this board

 

[Makeshift Park]

The Magpies just got medieval on their ass.

 

[Pravda Roo]

MANZIER!
