[SSSSSS]

not bad then, given our only pick was 2 hours in. What were all the other clubs doing?

Matching bids. It's the vibe.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Out
Flanders
Malcolm Rosas Jr
Ben Ainsworth
Brayden Fiorini

That is a fair few players. That is where they got the points for today from, along with the picks they were already assigned for the 2025 draft.

None of those players was actually best 22 except Flanders and none of them except Flanders did or would have got a first round pick in a trade. Which proves the point that you shouldn't be able to match first round bids with non first round picks.

 

[Rod Stroker]

I would have thought a small forward would not be the top of North's lists of needs.

name our last good small forward. Boomer? he retired 10 years ago

 

[fnerd]

name our last good small forward. Boomer? he retired 10 years ago

Winston Abraham

 

[Kenny Dee]

Paul Curtis

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Hawks gonna get Farrow and Schubert

Very solid as always

Well, you were half right.

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

Absolute troll job by the giants trading up and bidding on Kyle which meant they couldn’t match Carmichael

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Paul Curtis

Good clubs run with more than one these days

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

Good clubs run with more than one these days

And north in a great spot for key position now with the first pick of the 2nd round. So not as if that need won’t be addressed (fingers crossed we pick Thredgold now)

Maybe. We may have only half wanted him, the main two from the club were Kyle and King. Do I agree not really but it gives us a pick tomorrow potentially in the second round

Or they may trade it for a bounty.

 

[CobberRodgers]

Imagine being a late pick at home and Michael Ablett spends the 5 minutes after you just got drafted just bashing you, how you don't win enough of the ball that you can't a target to save your life, attacking your character saying that you make everyone around you a worse player and human being, saying that you have a shit hair cut. And then returns to praising the next guy as if nothing ever happened

I’d watch that.

 

[Kenny Dee]

Good clubs run with more than one these days

Cool

 

[dean33]

Just an unbelievable haul. I’m shaking. Best day of my life as a GC supporter… wow

Congrats, you've now joined every Carlton supporter under 30 with the best day of their life being the afl draft.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Under those rules, Geelong have Zach Merrett, Sam Walsh and Hugh McCluggage playing for them last year ...

Warrnambool isn't in Geelong's NGA zone.

 

[bomberlegend2007]

Hawks gonna offer 10 second rounders for merrett next year

First*

 

[Rod Stroker]

Paul Curtis

not a small forward

Even if he is how many do Brisbane play? Geelong? Pies? Hawks?

They are the top 4.

Game has moved from a bunch of keys to your smalls/mediums and pressure forwards

[briztoon]

name our last good small forward. Boomer? he retired 10 years ago

He was delisted, wasn’t he?

Or not offered a new contract?

Forced retirement.

Payback for the Swans doing the same to them with Rowston a couple of years ago?

I know. which is why it's an area we are addressing. It's been the biggest hole in our list for eons.

Banch is another small forward we drafted this year mid season. Only played a couple of games but he showed something, a goer.

 

[Rod Stroker]

He was delisted, wasn’t he?

Forced retirement.

Correct. Hawks offered him a contract but he decided to retire. Was stupid by us.

 

[Bipolar Bear]

name our last good small forward. Boomer? he retired 10 years ago

Lindsay Thomas was good.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Lindsay Thomas was good.

he was. but he also left us nearly 10 years ago
