Game Day AFL DRAFT - let's win this thing!!

[Cap]

I still don't quite understand how people can claim draft steals or if a team did well or not 2 hrs after the draft.

 

[latinoheat]

Will Powell at pick 19. Didn’t see his name on many mock drafts. Just saw his highlights, looks pretty good.

 

[Jars458]

Five Sturt kids drafted?

U18, reserves and league flags too.

Should probably enter our own AFL team really. Maybe when Port go bankrupt we'll step in.

Would be almost as funny to see Sturt fail in the AFL as to see Port fail ......... A fair bit of Sturt over ego at the moment....And yes I am jealous.

Do you even big footy brah?

 

[Footypie32]

Amazing. I haven't seen one negative post regarding our draft picks. Feels weird.

 

[Shaz2012]

Does this mean no Marty Melts this year?

Spoke too soon >>>>

Hamish was probably pissed Fogarty got through to us so he couldn't grab some no name that will be lucky to get a game

This thread is odd..
Everyone is in agreement.
Everyone is feeding off positivity from connected posts.
Noone is angry.
Noone is trash talking to anyone.
No thread derailment.

This isn't the BigFooty that I'm used to. I think I'm in shock!

 

[BrissyCrow]

We don't need to pick Edwards, do we? Nominated F/S, so bypasses the rookie draft and straight onto the rookie list.

He still needs to get through the PSD which is then followed by the Rookie Draft

Because his talent is undeniable and I'm just judging from highlights.. He could be anything.

Have a read of the Port board’s draft thread if it feels like you’re missing out.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Why did Hayes slide to 47 he was described as top 20?

His endurance is really poor

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Both picks

SA boys
Good Leaders
Good decision makers
Good ball users

 

[Eagleboy2011]

So we got Charlie Cameron for Fog.
Not a bad upgrade from a rookie pick!

it gets better. Was originally Ports pick.

 

[Elite Crow]

I wonder if Rucci will ever notice?

"If you had have said halfway through last year or the start of the year we were going to get Darcy at pick 12, we probably wouldn't have believed it," Ogilvie told AFL.com.au.

"A little bit of running (was the query), he's got to do some work there but he's played men's footy (SANFL)," Ogilvie said.

"He's probably the most competitive, aggressive kid in the draft. I think all clubs and AFL Academy staff would admit that."
....
"Those two boys were very high on our talent order. You've got pretty much the two South Australian captains we were able to pick," Ogilvie said.

"If Andrew hadn't have been injured, who knows? We rated him as a first-rounder at the start of the year when we put our list up. Unfortunately he got injured. We didn't think he was going to get through.

"We know West Coast and Geelong had strong interest.

"If you had have said that to any club, that Andrew McPherson would be 39 in this year's draft in January, they would've said you were dreaming."

Reading the AFL.com verdict it seems no one lost

No one has yet

Even pick 60 could become a champ the draft only went to the low 70s lucky it didn't do that when James Hird was drafted or he may never have played AFL

Yeah, I would like to see for a change, a club recruiter making honest statements like:
"All our preferred options were taken in the draft, so we had to make do with uncertainty in the selections"
"We called out the wrong name, but it was too late to change!"
Or simply..
"We ****ed up with our selections!"

 

[Scott Van Persett]

They did well with Garner there

Problem with Port Adelaide is that they are unable to develop any talent except high end which develops itself
All their picks will be delisted in 2 years or have minimal effect in their team...bookmark it !

Would give the kids they pick up, great confidence to start their careers.

I believe if your club had a lot of draft picks in this Draft, thus tying down your list with 2 year contracts .....not good, coming into a strong draft in 2018

Port & Freo had too may late picks .......a lot of the smarter clubs restricted the number of picks in this Draft

ADEL .....2 picks
COLL ......3 picks
ESS ........3 picks
SYD ........3 picks

PORT ......5 picks, the first at #47

And our few picks also makes sense when you consider last year we had an unusually high 5 picks - first time we had that many since 2008. So we have a big stable of draftees. We have 8 draftees yet to play a game:
Dear, Doedee, Poholke, Himmleberg, Signorello, Davis, Fogarty, McPherson, and Gallucci with just 1 game.

Pretty much a quarter of our list. Certainly no need for any more especially if next year is better.

What did you think of Naughton to Bulldogs

Which also means those chosen in the 2016 draft will come out of contract, coinciding with the 2018 Superdraft .......good list management
