[Snake Charmer]

One

We likely to use it? Or use it as a train on spot and take one of the academy kids we have as a cat b

 

[JT_the_Man]

Can we just acknowledge that Geelong picked a 21 year old mid/forward straight out of the Bellarine Football League?

It’s a pretty common thing for them to do tbh but I do wonder how it would go down if we pulled something like that.

Dogs got Jamarra and forced the rule change that they're complaining about now?

Been out for tea so missed the fun. What’s the who and why are they complaining?

Luamon Lual was their NGA and was taken at 39

Happened to the dogs? Sam Power

For being a **** with Dunkley

Dodoro wanted the last blow on his way out

you missed my not so funny joke

 

[Vindicater]

Would like us to take a flyer on a ruck/forward type with our rookie pick.

Evan Smith for example would be an astute pickup in my mind.

On board with a ruck type (first or forward/ruck I don't mind) or a big bodied mid

After night 2 I like the picture so far. Time will tell obviously but we've identified needs and gone with them in all three picks. Still think we should look at a big mid in the RD, but not sure who that is, any ideas andleanback eDPS ydc55?

[Zach Package]

Frangalas, Clohesy, Will Brown, Aidan Hare. I’d like to see us go with a tall mid.

Also wouldn’t surprise if we draft a big lump like Vigo Visentini just to see what happens, I also saw somewhere we were linked to Odin Jones, terrible name, but again, another man mountain.

Kade De La Rue and Tom Wheaton

Ferronanto could be an interesting pick aswell

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

A lot of promise with this batch of kids. Lual could be anything, and Roberts has that combination of speed and a laser-guided boot that is so fundamental to the modern game. Obviously we're comfortable we now have enough midfield depth. Caddy seems like a ripping kid as well: loved the short the EFC socials team posted last night of him meeting Brad.

Now to suffer through a couple of barren months before we can see some footy again (might have to have a second serve of pud on Hey Zeus' birthday to pass the time).

 

[ydc55]

I am a bit underwhelmed about night two.
we drafted two half back flankers.
Lual showed some flashes at half back especially early in the year but fizzled out a bit in my opinion.
was tried as an o baller which was a failure.
roberts is a prolific half back that has not convinced me he can beat an opponent.
I was probably hoping for an inside big bodied mid.

Any left worth looking at?

Half back flanker was probably the biggest list need and we filled it. We weren’t targeting Roberts either but after he wasn’t taken by the mid 50s we obviously thought it was too good to pass up.

Which big bodied mid would you have considered?

Have you seen the latest pics of Durham? BIG BODIED MID LOCATED

 

[faible]

Is that seriously Durham? Holy crap!

Can't wait to see him smashing puny guys like Green, Cripps and Oliver out of the way.

Hopefuly with some pants on though...
