WAshcroft can't even make the team unbelievably, so I doubt Annable is a chance.
I am guessing that this means we won’t match a bid on Prindable, Waller etc if it means we have to use points from next year. Not that I am expecting there will be an early bid. Happy to grab them both for late picks though.

Matching bids after pick 36 are “free”, only requires you to use your next pick, no points.
However, by the time any such bids are made, we’ll probably have two picks in the 40’s as so many second round picks get eaten up matching bids for other teams.

Pies and Cats did well considering their low points outlay and recent years ladder positions
Lions and Pies equal first with 59% pure midfield selections.
Long may it last in Lions finding KPD's that don't cost the world.

There’s only one player I’ve got my eye on with our second pick. He’s from WA, incredibly underrated, and in my opinion, an absolute gun. I won’t name names just yet, but let’s just say I’ll be quietly fist-pumping if he’s still on the board when our turn comes around.

If we do another late WA midfielder special, my guess is Sam Swadling. But I don't think we will while Tunstill and Torrent are both still here.

See you on the 9th green at 9
End thread god dammit. This can’t be beat.

Being a free hit after pick 36 is one benefit when that first-round ends at a high number. Will it be higher than last year.
In 2024 Round 1 went to pick 27. Round 2 just to 40. Round 3 to 56

On another matter i would be in the very minority on this board regarding the Ah Chee nontrade.
I had no problem with the club trying to get the best deal possible for Ah-Chee.
However, with 30 minutes to go and no ground being given by Adelaide i would have taken the bad offer from the Crows.
Something is always better than nothing. Spin it anyway you want but receive some draft picks for him.
I am sure around this time next year, some on here will be changing their mind on not having that extra 2nd round pick. Something along the lines of "would have been very handy to secure (said named? player)." "Why did we not take something"
And of course, the AFL may change the rules slightly again in 2026.
They have mentioned they want to first see what happens with the new system in 2025.
The Lions 2nd and 3rd round picks since 2021. Taken from Zero Hanger as that was the easiest one for me to read.

Justin Reid is captain pollution
Caroline Wilson is Dr Blight
Adelaide Football Club is Hoggish Greedly due to their trade greediness.
Collingwood Football Club is Verminous Skumm
Geelong Football club is Sly Sludge
Hawthorn Football Club is Looten Plunder
Gold Coast Football Club is Duke Nukem.
Andrew Dillon is MAL

Sadly I only recognise two of those references (Gaia (as the embodiment of nature) and Duke Nukem (from a very old video game) so if they are characters from a movie / series not even them!)
I remember talking to an orthodox priest once a few years back now who had done up a bunch of teaching slides using characters and scenes from the first Matrix movie so it would be more relatable for and help the teens and young adults get it. The last time he had used them he had noted a large number of blank looks and asked and it turned out not one of them had seen the movie. Pop culture references can work great until they don't.
In this case I suspect I am just not in the target demographic!

Cool, the main board can finally stop complaining that our academy doesn't contribute anything to the wider AFL.

I agree with most of what you said, my only point is that Adelaide were offering a 2026 2nd & 3rd.Being a free hit after pick 36 is one benefit when that first-round ends at a high number. Will it be higher than last year.
In 2024 Round 1 went to pick 27. Round 2 just to 40. Round 3 to 56

Its legitimately a good thing if we develop talent that goes to other clubs. Strengthens the benefits on the pathway and maybe gives us future homesick talent to get back

At least that's two of us on Lions BF that would have reluctantly taken the offer of 2nd & 3rd for next year.
I did not mention the offer, as i thought everyone on BF knew what it was.
This is why i only showed the 2nd and 3rd round picks since 2021.
A few gems amongst them and a couple yet to show if they can make the grade
Big O set to hand recruits their jumpers, great call by the club he is such an exemplar of the Lions breed.
