List Mgmt. 2025 National Draft Thread - Beaten at your own game, Bidney?

[SwansLifer]

This was the one that is like, guaranteed to be an AFL player. And been a leader at every level if I'm right?
Bold decision Swans, but these guys know more than what I know.

 

[zyzzbruh]

Carmichael didn't excite me. Not bothered.

 

[sr20]

Yeh let’s give the bulldogs another player we’re entitled to. Good one

 

[Johnboi]

The cheerleading from the panel for all these bids is ridiculous! "Make teams pay" blah blah...bunch of campaigners

 

[MarkP]

Well we must rate Kyle highly.

And we didnt take a half back flanker.

I dunno, happy if we did not think he was worth it to pass. Must have something else on the books.

 

[rustycrate]

We must have our eyes on someone else in the draft.

 

[TasSixer]

FFS Suns match literally everything the 1 win Eagles threw at them and we have to pass in the 20s.

 

[Slingshot Footy]

Hopefully Carmichael’s a homesick Swan in the making! The Dogs VFL program is great so he’ll still develop well if we get the opportunity to bring him back home.

 

[Cadsky]

Called it earlier today Bonz

 

[Millky95]

He'll just request a trade home in a year or two it's fine

 

[Bonz]

Could be possible the Swans may not think he has enough potential to kick on.

I like him though, will be interesting to watch his career.

 

[FreeAgent1]

We do this time after time

 

[SwansLifer]

We must have our eyes on someone else in the draft.

Max King.
We will Go Max!

 

[RainMachine]

Wow. Surprising. I just have a gut feeling that despite all the talk of potential in the other two, this was the guy we should prioritise.

 

[Cadsky]

Two years in a row passing on academy players.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Whats happened to Schubert?

 

[Chaisa]

I really hope this doesn't end up like the last time the Dogs bid a pick in the 20's in a year ending in 5....

Ultimately though I don't think he adds much that we didn't already have, but man if he becomes a gun...

Not necessarily, I feel like fans on here have been more right than not the last few years. I hope this isn't another Dunkley that we have to watch dominate us

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Hopefully take an inside mid in the second round after matching King

 

[Neverwas]

When we decided to trade away a fair chunk of picks for Curnow and bet on the academy, spilled our hand and gave them a free hit.

The cost of Curnow is enormous.

 

[Kbroome]

Sydney probably just don't think Carmichael has an ability to push into the midfield at the top level.

Highest Floor, lowest ceiling

Probably feel they can get someone similar in the rookie draft

 

[catchem02]

Reckon king is a unique player and there are many Carmichael type players . I said at the time the curnow trade has f.,. Us till 2029 but that’s the hand we have to deal with now .

 

[tombomb]

We only had all trade period and another month to get another pick in the 30s.

What a complete f***up.

 

[Bonz]

Called it earlier today Bonz

My source this year has been absolutely impeccable.

Just sharing what I can.

 

[ErrolisGoldun]

We seem to be the only Northern club who don’t keep their academy players. Suns able to keep 4 this year, 3 last year. Seems to be really poorly planned
