Whenever the experts say “the way draftee x plays reminds me a bit of AFL player y”, I can’t help wondering how much of their assessment is based on the draftee’s hairstyle.

 

[hawkman]

Assuming it is a WC 2nd rounder then that is quite valuable

 

[pjcrows]

Hawthorn have grabbed two 2nd rounders for dropping back two spots. Clever.

 

[joe444]

Gotta applaud the Hawks here.

If you don't want what's there, prepare for next year.

 

[CakeEater]

And another bid by the Eags

 

[fnerd]

As opposed to a side that has won diddly squat for their entire history?

Might be why M.Reid looked so heartbroken.

A f2 to move up one spot?
Wouldnt be an afl draft without Matty Clarke and the eagle boys doing something stupid!!

Has Michael Ablett ever disliked a draft selection

Midfielder over 190cm - "Bontempelli"
Small forward with smackable head - "Nick Watson"
Ruckman who can run - "Luke Jackson"
etc

"A player that many compare to Brent Guerra or Paul Chapman. Could grow into a David Hale."

No

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

West Coast making Gold Coast pay up for their academy players

Good on ya Eagles

 

[rdhopkins2]

Hawks backing themselves for a big year!
Then follow it up with a heap of 2nd round picks in 2026!
It will be very interesting to see how the Hawks perform this year.

 

[Elixuh]

Do we need to hear from the Fox footy draft expert at a time like this basically telling us what we’ve just spent the last hour and a half watching

 

[MadMaxx]

Ben Waterworth looks like a prefect in Hufflepuff

 

[chaosball32]

Gold Coast making it to semi finals and still being able to match 4 bids inside the top 20 is everything that’s wrong with the current system.

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Nothing like making semifinals getting petracca and four first rounders in

 

[Atomboy]

West Coast making Gold Coast pay up for their academy players

Good on ya Eagles

Another young fella saved from the clutches of the NRL, phew !.

Has Michael Ablett ever disliked a draft selection

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

"A player that many compare to Brent Guerra or Paul Chapman. Could grow into a David Hale."

Really hoping for a Nick Gill type at the crows pick

 

[Elixuh]

Clubs trying to keep the pressure on re the academies by pushing so many GC picks through the first 18. Sad!

 

[Andre the Giant]

Has Michael Ablett ever disliked a draft selection

How bad are his player comparisons? Does he actually have eyes this plonker?

The Giants revenge bid on Kyle was a thing of great beauty. What goes around comes around Swannies

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Gold Coast making it to semi finals and still being able to match 4 bids inside the top 20 is everything that’s wrong with the current system.

On top of getting Pettracca

Equalization working at its best!

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

The Eagles making 4 bids, 3 on GC players, is elite.

 

[SSSSSS]

Oh no did the Eagles **** up.

 

[joe444]

Gold Coast making it to semi finals and still being able to match 4 bids inside the top 20 is everything that’s wrong with the current system.

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