[Barunga Bullet]

Hold the phone folks. We've finally found a bigger moron on Bigfooty than tiger_tough. I didn't think I'd ever see the day.

What? Did you look in the mirror?

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Going to frantically watch Cumming videos again.

Make sure you search that on YouTube and not just google

Highlights of missed kicking targets?

Do you mean next "dribble"?

I think it will be Sharp and Cumming.. It cannot be a coincidence Robey, XT and Dov were at Essendon today. We have been previously linked to Sharp also by some people with pretty good mail and now we a linked to Cumming.

I think it will be either
Robey / Cumming
Robey / Taylor
Taylor / Cumming

 

[Moonatic77]

I hope it goes like this.....
Take the one we want at our pick 3 (minus academy f/s)
Our other pick....
Get a good 2026 1st (Carl or Ess or Melb) while floating back a few spots in this current draft. Depending on which club, assuming this happens, we may have to give up a 2nd or 3rd

 

[ShereKhan]

Back to the draft.

Jevan Phillipou saying that of all clubs we have expressed the most interest in him is really fascinating.

Pick 3 & 4 would be too high.

He isn’t slipping to 38.

So maybe there is something trade wise in the works?

I don’t mind the selection in a teens pick of him.

I mentioned a while back the idea of trading a FF1 for a teens pick of Grjl was available. maybe thats in the works for Grjl or Phillipou…?

TBH i really like the idea of pulling the trigger to get an extra draftee in for a FF1…. a draftee from 2027 wont make much of an impact until 2029… Grjl
or Phillipou could be helping us win finals by then. And it's the first Tassie draft so fair chance we will have a top-10 pick from a Tassie trade anyway.

 

[Greggy]

I think our recruiting staff have had their mind set on Sharp for a few years, just can’t see them going Robey over someone who’s been such a standout talent for 3 years. At least for our first pick I think he’ll be a low risk 200 gamer.

Go high risk with our 2nd, so Robey or Cumming.

Grlj is a possibility but also a reach with such a high pick.

I think we’ll go Sharp and Cumming.

No team will trade a top 10-15 pick for a FF1

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Won’t cope if we let the drug cheats get Robey.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Him and Robey in the guts and we making top 4 let alone the 10

Have we joined the VAFA?

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

We're going to select Cumdog and The Falcon and leave Robey for the Bombers arent we....

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

When is Cal’s phantom draft? That’s normally accurate

Day after night 1

Funny how now people are starting to believe what I told you all a few weeks ago and copped a mountain of negative comments for.

Spoke to people who would know during the week and I’m still confident in the following:

1. However it happens our preferred pair of top picks is Sharp & Cumming

2. It’s not looking likely that anyone will trade with us to move up. Essendon are likely to call our bluff on Robey and seem happy to get Sharp or Cumming if we did select Robey (which we won’t be).

3. We believe it’s near certain that it’s Dursma & CDT 1 & 2

4. We expect WC to bid on Uwland and potentially Dean after Dursma is picked.

5. We will bid on Patterson & Annable but if WC don’t bid on Dean we won’t either) - not sure if our bids come before or after we have selected our first player…

6. The Phillipou stuff is quite unlikely. It is dependant on him sliding far enough that our FF2 becomes appealing to someone to trade. (I’m pretty sure it’s not F2 (this part is speculation because I don’t think the club will be looking to lose any draft points for next year) but the person I spoke to wasn’t sure either). Also if we trade a future for Phillipou it means Kellaway definitely won’t be drafted and we will be relying on him making it to the rookie draft.

7. The pick in the 30’s wherever it ends up is for Leon Kickett and the club is very confident no one takes him before us at that pick. Club really really rates him highly and his interviews with KGI team were absolute standout. The club was keen on Kickett even if we had got Rosas Jnr (my understanding is that Sonsie can consider himself super lucky that Rosas jnr was shy about being at a big Vic club otherwise he would have been cut with Dow to allow for the 4 spots in this years draft…)

8. Also a nice little bit of info on MRJ as an aside. The penny finally dropped for him last year after he got dropped and spent time in the VFL as a mid. He has committed to a huge preseason with an eye to getting midfield minutes at AFL level in 2026.

Anyway that’s all I’ve got and I don’t think I’ll be speaking to anyone with knowledge between now and draft night so unless things change that’s where it’s at and I guess we will have to wait and see what happens next week…

You've had some good mail in the past so this is no shade, but ive heard the opposite on robey from the same source that told me Lalor was our #1 way before the media caught wind.... I trust them big time

Guess we will see

 

[Coach_Required]

Have we joined the VAFA?

Keep up man, final 10 now with Wildcard weekend.

 

[DM#4]

What would you say if a few of these kids had actually been to multiple clubs over the last week and there just hadn't been any photos leaked?

 

[beema limapep]

The primary reason some people want Taylor at 4 is that he barracks for Richmond.

If it was Sharp who barracks for Richmond and Taylor barracked for Essendon, the same people would want Sharp.

Hope we never play WW

Nothing more Tigerish than a Tiger!

 

[Yappie dribbles]

What is the reasoning behind using our pick in the 30s for kellaway as opposed to getting him in the rookie draft?

We want him and talk is bids are coming earlier then we originally thought due to his testing
