Pies drafted Angry Anderson, lol

****ing hell we're collecting Central Districts players like a crackhead.

We're going to have to stack the fridges at KCC with a shit load of Farmers Union Iced Coffee in 2026

BANG!!! Another one I got right! Hahaha This kid LeRay is going to be special. Weddle type, can play half back, wing, half fwd.

Another elite runner looks like we are getting the wings covered.

Pies drafted Angry Anderson, lol

I dare say they are bound for glory

 

[spudmaster]

You've taken 3 lads who are best mates and grew up literally 10 minutes from each other near Gawler, playing through Central District - a football factory. Clever drafting.

Thanks for the tidbit mate - always handy to know that sorta stuff. Not a bad idea to keep a few interstate lads together to try and help offset any go-home factors that may arise / settling in etc.

Did Kobe Williams nominate could we take him as a rookie?

 

[dixyland]

BHH will have some serious speed next year

 

[Blackhawk42]

Just so everybody is aware, I'll be nicknaming LeRay 'Candice' because I'm a nerd who watches wrestling. You're welcome to join me.

Port taking no picks in the draft? Have they done away with the minimum?

His question mark was athleticism on the coverage haha.

[The Golden Glenferrie]

[cyrilicious]

Yeah, I was thinking of the Brisbane situation where they had those players want out and decided that they would draft Vic Country boys going forward, the theory being they'd be getting guys who'd played junior rep footy together and were less likely to go home. I'm sure the Hawks focused more upon who was best available, but having a few guys who'd already been teammates coming in together can only be a good thing.

Why do people think Noah Hibbins Hargreaves has slipped so far?

I think the recruiters didn’t like him.

 

[kazzooka]

Probably why we didnt push back too hard..

We've taken 4 selections that are later than his predicted range and not taken him. And there's been 60 picks and everyone is going home now too.

Simply must not have the athletic profile required.

 

[Crisp Clearances]

Please i beg hork trade 2 f3rds 4ths to get greeves

 

[HedgeFund]

sheesh what did greaves do

….maybe it’s more what he didn’t do.

Like run a lot and attend / test at the combine.

 

[Since 2001]

His question mark was athleticism on the coverage haha.

For AFL level yes, but his athleticism isn't poor. Luckily it's a trait that you can train your body for. I think he is going to be a player that will start in the middle if he becomes the player I believe he can be.

 

[mustang]

Didn't we upgrade Blanck?

 

[Cleavy]

thank god it's finally over. we're free!

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Greeves not being drafted is very very concerning & surprising.

 

[Dewnior]

So Greeves, NHH, Rodriguez and Onley available as rookies. Will we take one of them?

 

[Bremner20]

Disappointed missing out on Grlj, really like him. Hoping we don't take Farrow or Lindsay personally. Wouldn't mind Sharp or Dovaston

Sounds like a gunslinger..
