Game Day AFC DRAFT DAY THREAD

[Crow Envy]

There goes Edwards....

 

[dplggr47]

Wonder if he wanted to go to a Melbourne club? Happy for Edwards

Probably considering WA is so far from SA and he has an Adelaide girlfriend, but at pick 52, you can't be picky on where you end up.

 

[Golumless]

Why didn't we take Borlase, does anyone have any mail on why we didn't rate him? Why would we take a mature age small forward over a KPD, especially when we are so thin in that area?

Sounded like we only wanted him as a cat b rookie.

Still, every pick he's on the board for makes it more likely he gets there.

 

[BACCS]

Looks like we should get Borlase and Newchurch as Cat B rookies

 

[Southerntakeover]

Thankfully we're notoriously better talent evaluators than West Coast.

 

[fuic08]

Most clubs passing, should be home clear

 

[Scorpus]

It must be super shit to be rated mid draft in a phantom on a popular website then not get drafted at all

 

[Vader]

Haha... almost 50% of the players selected in this draft were taken in the 1st round.

26 players selected in the 1st round. Lots of passes before the Bulldogs finally made a selection with #53.

If he slips through to the rookie draft we can put him on the category B rookie list for free and will be on our list, same with Newchurch we're hoping they both slip through

 

[DJ75]

Any clubs have picks left?

 

[Southerntakeover]

Other field, such as?

The only other area we were looking dicey in the long term was key forward and we addressed that at pick 1. Outside midfield has Sholl, Hamill and Milera to build around, and whilst we'll be in need to adding to that group in 2021, we could hold off this year. Defence has McAsey, Doedee and McPherson as that basis. Small forwards could be dicey long term, if Stengle doesn't make it but that's not exactly something you prioritise now (and even then, Rowe and hopefully Newchurch makes it through).

Our inside group was looking pretty poor coming into 2020, seeing we had some speculative picks, but outside of Schoenberg, no one had genuinely indicated they could make the step up. We've hopefully addressed that problem.

Don't get my optimism mistaken for myself thinking we'll bounce up the ladder next year, we won't, just we're starting to cobble together a young and talented list. Inside midfield however was the problem position coming into this off-season and we made the right move investing heavily into that sector.

Yeah, none of those players are even remotely close to being potential elite outside options.

Bulldogs and Stkilda?

Who

 

[LoBu]

Dogs revenge? Missed the Essendon defender, could take Borlase?

 

[ad victoriam]

Is Kaine Baldwin still available, maybe rookie cat A for the Crows

 

[Golumless]

Yeah, none of those players are even remotely close to being potential elite outside options.

And? we're starting a build, not at the finishing stages.

That sector is in a much more comfortable position going into 2021 then the inside midfield. Not only that, but Sholl has already torn a game apart and he's not even 10 games in (against Carlton), so he definitely has the potential to be elite.

 

[Aaron929]

Borlase and Newchurch as Cat B rookies, Plus Hately and our Draft hand, Seems like a pretty good haul to me.

 

[Crom]

Apologies if it's already been covered, but do we still get NGA priority on Borlase and Newchurch in the rookie draft?
ie can we pickup Borlase with Pick 1, and, for example, if Newchurch gets bid on with Pick 2, can we somehow match?

 

[Redline]

If he slips through to the rookie draft we can put him on the category B rookie list for free and will be on our list, same with Newchurch we're hoping they both slip through

Would we take anyone else tomorrow or would those two fill the list?

 

[Vader]

Is Kaine Baldwin still available, maybe rookie cat for the Crows

Yes, he's available. No we can't take him. Our Cat A rookie list is full, and he's not eligible for Cat B.

 

[Freshj]

Nobody take eddie ford?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

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

Wait until next years draft !

We can just take them as Cat B rookies.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Gee I hope Bulldogs don't go Newchurch after Western, here

 

[Southerntakeover]

And? we're starting a build, not at the finishing stages.

That sector is in a much more comfortable position going into 2021 then the inside midfield. Not only that, but Sholl has already torn a game apart and he's not even 5 in, so he definitely has the potential to be elite.

'Your argument is completely untenable'
'and?'.

That pretty much sums it up.
