Provisional 2025 Draft order

[amazingjoshy]

Bit disappointing

Where’s the chicken boy Joe Colley ‘ this kid could win a Brownlow ‘ type stuff ?

Have we gone too far the other way?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

mama mia the amount of negativity on here

warning: posters will be remembered if he comes good

The best thing about being negative about picks in the MSD is that none of these guys were considered among the best 70-odd players not on an AFL list just a few months earlier, so if you say that such-and-such is not going to cut it at the AFL level you are extremely likely to be right!

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

So safe pick with the first then more high risk high reward with the second.

 

[thistimeforsure]

Footys supposed to be entertainment

 

[InTheWings]

She goes for hawthorn

Oh wow. I got that wrong then!

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Stockpiling smalls like we don't have Wes Walley walking through the door next year..like seriously..might as well have not made a pick.

And Tyler Williams

The thing is there's not even that much negativity, just that noone had heard of him and were scrambling to find out info and mostly folks having a laugh

He's our 2nd pick in a mid season draft, if he becomes a half decent AFL player it's a win

 

[ROYAL EAGLE]

getting smacked out of the middle week in and week out, awful clearance team. So we draft a half back and a small fwd....Zac Langdon 2.0

Zac Langdon has the dubious honor to be WCE worst ever player

 

[Priddis Is Done]

Give the kid a chance, coming back from injury, dominated under 18s in a stacked draft last year ffs

Rather than the negativity, not you, can you elaborate on his skill set and potential.

Genuinely interested.
Cheers

 

[eagles rule]

Highlights look ok reads the flight of the ball well and has strong hands for 179 cm , left footer that kicks the ball cleanly ..
Has a big build already and was invited to AFL combine last year even though he was injured and unable to to do test ..
A long shot but same draft class as last years boys ..

 

[Lia]

Not great news for Noah Long is my read of that selection

 

[Cornelius Roy]

What was the injury he’s coming back from?

 

[beatlesmith]

Zac Langdon has the dubious honor to be WCE worst ever player

I won’t stand for this Harry Barnett erasure!

 

[Elite Pete]

And Tyler Williams

And McGlade and Farmer the year after….

 

[Dark Sharks]

Ladies, please...

Exactly what the MSD is designed for.

Addressing a need, which we've hopefully done with the mature player in McCarthy..

And then taken a young player with talent and upside at the second pick which we didn't even have a few days ago

That second selection could've been way worse. At least we've gone and backed our scouts in rather than going the default easy option and adding some vanilla from the WAFL.

Wouldnt have minded Bevan or Dennis, but that's fine.

When you're the campaigner talking sense, we are all doomed.

Shoulda picked a proven impact midfield bull like Greg Clark.

Just disappointed we didn't go retro and draft a bloke with a ? draft profile pic like the good old days of pie man.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Newton is basically the equivalent of a pick in the 90's.

People need to pick their battles and things to melt about.

Like Chesser, for example.

 

[squashface]

It's likely that within the next 18 months that all of Rawlinson, Petch and Cripps are off the list so it's not a bad shout to stock up even with Walley coming through soon

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Not great news for Noah Long is my read of that selection

I don’t think that a mid-season draft choice into a club that’s terribly lacking in AFL-level talent pretty much across the board, is really indicative of anything. They just need guys who can hack it at the AFL level and if they think Newton will be able to do that in the future, then that’s the right guy to pick.

 

[MrWoollie]

Zac Langdon has the dubious honor to be WCE worst ever player

I assume you have some conditionals on that statement. Given he played 25 games for us and over 50 at AFL level. And we've had a bunch over the history who never played a game or didn't make double figures etc. Has to be enough spuds in that list to fill a chip shop at least.

'worst player to have played over 20 games' or
'worst trade we've made' or...

 

[Smotie2]

Not great news for Noah Long is my read of that selection

Or Liam Ryan is being traded at the end of the year and they are preparing for it.

Oscar Allen, Liam Ryan and reid leaving at the end of the year possibly will net us huge draft capital.

 

[sharps24]

Not great news for Noah Long is my read of that selection

Could be we're so bullish on Long's long term projection that we just had to have two of him.

As Rawlinson's sponsor I must object to this comment. You have spelled 6 months wrong. And I do mean ALL of them so help me god.
