Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Grooster24]

Is that Mrouch and Diod in the background?

 

[Murray2503]

No real excitement from his family. Jeez

They've known for a while I would say.

 

[Mutineer]

You beauty...bye bye Brett.

 

[BACCS]

Anyone who isn’t happy with a bloke that size being able to pick a ball up at 50m and snap on his left is just weird

 

[CrowInFiji]

No real excitement from his family. Jeez

Given Covid that's just unfair.

 

[Crowman32]

They will regret not taking hollands in a few years time.

 

[1990crow]

Cant believe we passed on McDonald or Hollands. sigh

Classic crows

 

[jackster83]

Looking forward to us playing five talls in the forward line in R1.

(not a crack at Thilthorpe btw)

 

[WAG]

Meh. Safe pick.

 

[Drewie11]

What did he say?

Sent from my MI PAD 4 using Tapatalk

Thilthorpe would be available at our second pick

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I would of had little faith with our previous coaches, but you have new coaches who’ve had experience in developing younger players

 

[Thrall]

No offence, but I find that mystifying. Why would you give the other kid the benefit of being Number 1 and the kudos and rewards that goes with it.
Not to mention, Riley knows he was second prize to Adelaide now. Absolutely baffling decision in my opinion.....

Literally no benefit to Adelaide at all. They were never getting him, and Number 2 or 3 could have bidded for him.

 

[CrowInFiji]

Meh.

Wanted the best midfielder - it's our biggest weakness by a mile.

Maybe that's next year's project.

 

[huludicidal]

WHO ELSE SAW THE “TRADE IS IN” GRAPHIC APPEAR 90 SECONDS BEFORE RT WAS ANNOUNCED???

 

[Firewalker]

 

[Bonkers000]

Elite forwards who can also ruck are hard to get your hands on. I’m happy with this.

 

[GROTTO]

Thilthorpe would be available at our second pick

He would have got to Pick 4 comfortably.

 

[Scorpus]

Will Phillips is pick 3

 

[King Elvis]

We'll get some with our later picks tonight

You can still get potential elite mids in the teens and 20's

The odds decrease significantly.

This is the first time we've had the opportunity to get a genuinely elite talent; and midfield is normally where the game is won or lost.

Happy for this kid, and obviously wish him well - it just doesn't feel like the right direction.

 

[AusTerran]

Hoping for EH, but not upset on Riley. Just sad that Hollands did his knee

 

[Redleg Crow]

Woah!! Phillips at pick 3.

Ok Crows - trade up!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Murray2503]

Will Phillips. Good choice North.

 

[BACCS]

Meh.

Wanted the best midfielder - it's our biggest weakness by a mile.

This is not a one year rebuild

 

[Drewie11]

Wow, Phillips at 3

 

[crowsarethebest]

JUH just oozes superstar. Happy with Thilthorpe - I think he's got the athletic profile but he's got the footy smarts/fundamentals to be a star. 201cm players don't move like him!
