Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Tobster]

Really flat. Picked a vanilla, celebrity, mature age, small fwd when so many great young players with heaps of potential were available, for example Lake. FMD

Borlaise not much chop or he’d be taken

But is Rowe better to be taken ahead of him?

 

[GreyCrow]

I love how people think they know better than the clubs who will or won’t make it through to the rookie draft.

Ok - I would not have cared if he went to another club

 

[Mutineer]

You think Pedlar projects as a flanker at AFL level?

And if so, you're cool with that use of resources?

Think Toby Greene

when Pedlar plays forward...Super overhead for his size, hits the scoreboard in bunches and hits the contest even harder

 

[dplggr47]

Port will use 3 picks in ND and Schofield might sneak through as rookie, which means they may pickup Borlase.

 

[Stiffy_18]

This I where I have everything crossed that Newchurch makes it to the rookie list.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Our list is now completely full (noting that we've committed to taking Hately in the PSD tomorrow). We have no ability to match bids on Borlase/Newchurch, or select another player in either the ND or RD.

Including Hately we have 36 players on our senior list, plus 6 on the Cat A rookie list - a total of 42 players. That's the maximum we're allowed to have.

** We're also allowed to have 2x Cat B rookies, which is where Borlase & Newchurch will hopefully fit in.

So it’s 36 maximum, not 36-38?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

But is Rowe better to be taken ahead of him?

I actually think he deserves it and can be dangerous . Might be a bit like Ian Callinan

kick a classy goal , set one up . Bang for each touch very clever

if he was quick he’d be a real gun

 

[Truck25]

here we go pear to pick Borlase

 

[Shaunbkk]

Stengle hasn't really shown he's a hill worth dying on in all honesty

Surely Murphy is the guy shitting himself. Stengle has more class and plays all over the ground.

 

[Vader]

Why didnt we select Carroll exactly? Rowe would have been there for the ND instead of Newchurch. That selection is just baffling if you ask me

The maths doesn't add up.

If we select Caroll, we can't take Rowe at all - our list is full, with no more positions available on the senior or Cat A rookie lists. We can take Newchurch as a Cat B rookie, regardless of whether we selected Caroll or Rowe. Presumably they rated Rowe ahead of Caroll.

 

[GetInMyVanBerlo]

Extremely disappointing we didn't take Carroll there

 

[Mutineer]

Haha another BallaratRebel/East Point FC product to the Lions

Many players from this range, simply dont make it. So Im not fussed.

 

[dplggr47]

Wonder if Port pick up Luke Edwards

 

[Crow_68]

Still some good value on the board for Port here

[LoBu]

Port's first pick, hopefully not Borlase

 

[Danger Zone]

Rowe is a SANFL quality player. We overcooked that pick.

 

[Tex Danger]

Port will use 3 picks in ND and Schofield might sneak through as rookie, which means they may pickup Borlase.

surely part of the trade with them was an agreement for them not to bid.

if not (and even more so, if they werent thought the be planning a bid and the trade stopping it) then I cant see the value in that trade

 

[Scorpus]

The game really isnt played in a way that makes outside midfielders irrelevant...

We have plenty of outside midfielder types. We are lacking dynamic inside midfielders with burst pace

 

[Mutineer]

Speed there by the Pies.

 

[Vader]

Could we have not taken Borlase and placed Rowe on the rookie list?

No. We don't have a rookie list position available. We will not be participating in the RD tomorrow.

 

[ams4crows]

Gee Dumsney must be shitting his pants watching all his mates get drafted as he slides further and further

 

[Mutineer]

Faark Panthers being decimated Brayden Cook, Phoenix Spicer, Beau McCreary and now Tom Highmore..
