2025 Draft Thread

[Wizard17]

They still have 3 others - Max King, Harry Kyle and Noah Chamberlain. They wouldn't have the picks with matching the early bid

They already matched Kyle at 14

 

[JohnnySteel]

Geelong once again getting a steal. I rate Barker very highly.

 

[DiamondDogs8]

Geelong go a suck a fat one

 

[Smiley Boy]

Damn Barker gone

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Looks like we can pick Emmett

 

[Hobdog]

I think I read somewhere yesterday that Sydney likely wouldn’t have the points to match a bid on Carmichael and that we were interested.

 

[Doggy]

Would be good if we did

 

[Doggies7]

Unfortunately I think our trade downs have absolutely wrecked us here. We must have thought Lindsay, Murray, Kyle or Nairn have made it here and miscalculated

We may have been bailed out a bit with Sydney not matching for Carmichael. Wasn't really an obvious pick after him that we were linked to, maybe Barker but our links to him weren't as strong from what I had seen and coming off a knee. May have had a trade down agreed to if Swan did match but we'll probably never know.

You don’t downgrade your first round pick until draft night when value peaks. Hawthorn played it beautifully. We played it like chumps.

 

[ossie_21]

I am whelmed with that pick

 

[0utsider]

Damn Barker would have been awesome at our second pick.

 

[Mojorisin]

Would be good if we did

I'd imagine North go Thredgold then we pick up Emmett.

 

[Salad dog]

So if Ison doesn’t get bid on, the Suns trade moved us up one spot in the 2nd round

 

[Fossie 32]

Also of very good character and has great leadership potential. Fits the bill beautifully from a personality stand point.

MVP !

Yep we may have learned a bit of a lesson here. Even if we wanted to trade down, do it on draft night and get a high future 2nd, or multiple 2nds with a few trade downs.

I feel like there were other ways to get Budarick rather than doing the trade down to get 37, but we folded a bit easily.

Captain vanilla in Carmichael

 

[Doggy Dan]

Forget Dunkley as he had the ‘Victoria’ deal with Sydney. Who has been the last passed in academy / FS who has become a gun?

 

[The Inbetweener]

most of our defenders can’t actually defend. If Carmichael can, he’s ok with me.

 

[maddog37]

So many negative comments on here.

Feeling it is overall not a good place to be.

 

[Bulldogs85]

9 bids in the first round of the draft

 

[DiamondDogs8]

I’m all in on Hibbins-Hargreaves now with our second

 

[ExRoyboy]

What is the view on Blake Thredgold? I read somewhere that he is a defender I think? Would he be a chance at our 2nd pick?

I haven't watched anything this year, but I'd love another KPD. I know we have other gaps, but I think we need a decent one as soon as possible.

Others may suggest better options, as I said - I haven't watched anything this year.

Yep rather go in on a talent.

 

[Cudi]

Is Carmichael anymore vanilla than Lindsay? They seem very similar players yet people are so disappointed we didn’t get one over the other?
