List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - The Final Countdown

[Wooden Robot]

Talking to a young fella at work today who knows Sully Robey really well.
Says he’s an absolute gym rat. Been going nuts in the home made gym with his brother for last 18 months and has become an absolute powerhouse. Said his family are pretty well off and he’s got a younger brother aswell.
Also said he was given the option of missing the grand final with his broken collar bone but told them he was going to play no matter what.

Get him a fluoro yellow and red singlet.
He sounds like he's a Hulk Hogan clone.
Training, saying his prayers an eating his vitamins.
Whatcha gonna do, Brother!!!

OK people - long time watcher (often shaking my head) but only very occasional poster.

Like everyone, I am caught up in the excitement about next week. Unlike many, I'm happy to say that I know very little about the players and am happy to put my faith in our recruiting team. And whoever we pick, I will throw my support behind emphatically.

Here is my issue, though: I have just arrived in Bali for a little 9-night pre-'smash out the end of the year' break. I just tried Kayo and like the betting apps, it isn't available in my location.

Any idea how I could watch the draft otherwise?

[tigerfan1961]

Is this code for: we need a winger so we're just going to keep spending prime draft picks on intercepting defenders and playing them out of position there?

He's 100% a defender it's just we don't have any space for him there because our list managers (and this board) can't count.

What a load of cr@p

[guruisatiger]

lot of taylor knockers but the kid is a beast, wins every 1 on 1 hes in, can break lines, strong mark, decent kick, will develop into a big boy with his frame. not my first pick but we could do a lot worse.

His interview on sen tonight was hilarious a fantastic character

Late Breaking News !!!

Xavier Taylor has Weddle like Traits and expected to play like Yeo with his determination and aggression once he develops at AFL level. We cant believe he was still available at our selection #3 and expected the Eagles to pounce with pick #1
Duursm ass is his b!tc h

Entertaining thread, for despite who each individual posting here is spruiking as our men, whoever we select will immediately be proclaimed the steal of the draft, or the hands down best prospect in the draft, while WC, Essendon, Melbourne and five other clubs all failed.
We'll have three more guys put on a pedestal, while most will find a way to diss talent that goes elsewhere.

I’m pretty happy to put it out there…

Duursma- He has the talent but does he have the flakiness of his brothers as well? Will be back in VIC before too long so if we picked him wouldn’t be a flight risk. A Goddard type (without his kicking) is always good. Perhaps he’d play half back with stints on ball for us?
You’d back his talent in though.

CDT - If he slips through I’d see if we could get someone to trade up for hom and take the pick.

Undersized ruck by today’s standards who doesn’t have a massive leap. Could be a good tandem with Sims but we’d be putting chips in these are our two rucks for the next decade. He’s a Melbourne boy too so would stick around. Reports earlier in the year him and Greeves were the two that wanted to stay in Melbourne. Hope that’s changed for the Eagles sake. I would be ok with this pick if the club thought he was a ten year ruck, not a fwd/ruck hybrid. But I do think he’s the latter.

Robey - Raw, hasn’t spent as much time as others in the pathway. Brute of a player that needs to refine his game and learn more about how to play. They can teach positioning and decision making to an extent. Some club is going to get a star. I see a Bont type. Hope it’s us.

Cumming - Aggressive, played his career against bigger bodies, a ball hunter who is quick, agile and kicks goals. Will start at half forward and move to the midfield. Can kick and transition run. Whoever gets him is going to get an attacking two way mid who kicks goals. Perfect for West Coast, Richmond, Essendon and Melbourne.

Grjl - We know what you get with this guy. Perfect for the modern game. Takes it on with speed and provides options. A good kick and decision maker. Will be a midfielder but start off half back. Needs to work on his positioning and strength to get more inside ball but that will come. If he slides past Melbourne I can see fans in the future watching him play and asking why. Cumming is more aggressive at the ball and kicks goals, while Grjl breaks lines. Both amazing attributes to have and hard to split.

Taylor- Not sure he reads the ball as well as some believe but he makes up for it in tenacity and speed at the contest. The backline general for a team for the next decade who will set the tone and refuses to be beaten. Will play 250 games if the injury gods are good to him.

Sharp- What hasn’t he achieved in his time? Last year was the odds on favourite to be the number one pick but has been overlooked by flashier types. Runs hard, kicks well, makes good decisions. Sets the standard when training and a future leader of a club. Will play 250 games and probably captain a club.

West Coast just have to pick the best two ‘talents’ of the draft. If both reach their potential they have absolutely nailed it. But rucks take time and fans need to be patient. And they need to do everything to keep these guys happy and stay in the state for their careers.

Whoever picks Robey from there gets a gift. Will probably be the player of this draft crop.

Cumming and Grjl are hard to split for talent and will excite fans. Both will win games in their own way.

Taylor and Sharp will be strong, reliable leaders and rolled gold picks.

if we got Dyson Sharp it would bring some sanity and stability into the world
