Provisional 2025 Draft order

Spoiler

 

[WCE777]

We're currently 1 short on the list. That can be either a main list or a rookie spot.

I would have delisted Rawlinson, but it wasn't my choice. If say Chesser or Long have average / poor seasons delisting Rawlinson potentially gives us a spot to give them 1 more year on the rookie list to try and make it. I'd rather that option than Rawlinson.

Brockman is going to need to show something as after Rawlinson, Sheed and Jamieson the next tier for Delistees imo is Brockman, Barnett and to a lesser extent Livingstone. (livingstone is safer as he is a cat B)

for more educated minds regarding 2025 draft, Banfield and Walley look to be certain targets for WC if their next season continues.
Who outside Rodriguez & Curtin in WA would be considered a target for WC?
Who is a must draft for WC needs nationally?
List needs imo being more elite ball users in midfield and KDEF?

 

[pantskyle]

Briefly following the chat and will add that one of the biggest attributes recruiters loved about Ginbey was his leadership skills, think I even mentioned it on this board when I revealed it was who we were taking with our first pick.

 

[kane249]

It's 100% Bunsen Burner (of 'Come Pay Homage to my Superior Footballing Intellect' fame)

Originator of the "what's the score" boardism because he was too lazy to look elsewhere and expected other people to keep him updated.

 

[BartBart]

Richmond used to do this often in their flag era. If they marked around 60m out from goal it was a high chance they were having a shot, either by hitting up a lead around 40m out or one of their longer kicks playing on for a ping.

The thing is when we have bombed it in over last few years we end up having 2 or 3 flying for the same ball, spoil each other leaving the defenders with the numbers free to easily run it out.

And they always knew the bomb was coming in as that was our only tactic.

 

[bzparkes]

I'm not the one starting arguments over f-all. "Oh. here's an exception, therefore you're wrong". These people should go to a climate change rally or something.

Being an insufferable campaigner doesn't make you correct, either.

 

[BartBart]

nice to have another F/S in the works.

Surely someone in Vic will complain & get the rules changed before we get another F/S

Not bad stats for an underager.

All these new accounts by the same flogs is how I end up with 50+ on my ignore list

 

[BartBart]

I wonder if Ginbey is heading along thr same was Michael Braun was with training - where the club had to force him to ease back a little.

thanks, have never heard much about him until I became a recent member on this thread, looks a decent type!
Would Blake Kelly from SD? Looks a very nice player?

 

[stallon]

Surely all a captain needs to be is a professional player who sets standards, has leadership qualities, and comfortably in the top 10 or so players on the list.
Thats Duggan easily for the next couple of years if we wanted. In 2-3 years Ginbey will be 4-5 seasons in, is that too soon to make him the captain?
Rozee was made captain at Port after 5 seasons, thats probably about the earliest id do it. Ideally at least 6 seasons before considering someone for the full time gig?

4 more years to leave the captaincy with Duggan/Allen/Waterman/Baker.
2 years of Duggan and 2 years of Baker? would have both those guys handing it over the year they turn 31.

do you or anyone else here know what role he is suited to?

Is he an inside or outside mid?

 

[FKASC]

Let this be a lesson to all of you.
If you think you can waltz around making arguments by paraphrasing something said around here from 2 years ago, you better think again.
FKASC will spend his considerable spare time on BF to search down that quote and with it he will roll you over and go to work.

[sharps24]

So was Graham at one stage too funnily enough

Getting 2 x Richmond captains for pick 3 vs 1 x Shai Bolton for picks 10,11. We smashed it boys.

 

[sharps24]

Scooter his his injury as much as possible from the club and continued to play with it. It ruined his career. Pure stupidity.

So you are saying Hewett is the best comparison not Ginbey?

 

[JackOutback]

Often the best player is also the best leader.
Often clubs want to give the best player an opportunity to learn how to lead.
It's hard to lead from a place of lower competence.
Often the best player has been a leader all the way through.

They're different, but often go hand in hand. That's how life works.

That's occasionally true, at best, across pretty much all sports.

Breaking news: One of the true gentlemen and most loyal servants in footy @WestCoastEagles Victorian recruiting officer Stephen Nash has been sacked, two weeks after the draft. 27 years (two stints with Eagles). Fellow recruiter Neil Ross also axed. Two good men gone suddenly.


It all makes sense now....

It’s quite serious being sacked….axed or sacked are very different.

What does it all makes sense now mean?

 

[Kegs15]

Interesting it's a straight up sacking 2 weeks after the draft? Usually feel like our style is more staff quietly "exploring other options in their career" - also interesting timing as if it really is a sacking as reported would likely have to have something to do with the recent draft surely?

Know this is an overly simplistic way of looking at it but in terms of Victorian players identified and recruited in the last few years:

2022: Burgiel pick 29 (X), Long pick 58 (✓)
2023: Harley Reid (not worth assessing), Archer Reid pick 30 (✓), Johnston pick 49 (✓)
2024: Shanahan pick 30 (✓), Gross pick 46 (✓), Grego pick 48 (✓)

* Obviously no idea how a lot of these players will turn out but just going off vibes of how happy we are about them so far

Would be interested in the reasons for this being the case - or whether Nash in particular has just moved on to something else and the term 'sacked' is inaccurate.
