And because of that brave Epipen we had to rethink our entire draft strategy.

Wasnt the last time a little prick cost us at the trade table, Infact history repeated again in 2024

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

GWS the type of team to place a bullsh*t bid on Williams at 12.

Knowing them, it's either Dovaston or Williams. That's probably why we might be keen to jump into the top 10 with a 3rd pick.

I hope they do bid on Williams at 12, then we could just pick a better player at 13.

Has a first post ever got this many likes?
Not a bad strike record. Just sayingView attachment 2454247

Kind of inclined to start abusing him for no reason, calling him a campaigner and asking him to prove he can tell between a great kick and an elite kick so he has the full BF experience.

Epipens run a pretty large needle.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

Picks 1 & 2

Hodge and Judd thank you very much.

I wish.

It’d be Hodge and Ball with the going to Richmond at 3. Geez you’d still take that mind you!

 

[Eastern Rangers]

If Duursma was so good why didn't he win the Larke Medal? Sharp did win it

If Duursma was so good why didn't he win the Kevin Sh Medal (U16)? Sharp did win it

So are we going be saying in 8 years time-
If Duursma was so good why didn't he win the Rising Star Award or Brownlow? Sharp did win it

Duursma was able to have a better draft year then Sharp but it is really Neck and neck.


Like seriously who wants to bet duursma has a better first season then Dyson Sharp???? Any takers?????

Also who wants to bet when all is said and done Duursma has more brownlow votes then Dyson Sharp??? Any takers???

It's a gimme. Duursma plays too far for the ball drop and his contested game is coming from a very low base. Much lower than Goddard or Bonts at the same age.

Duursma should be viewed as a meters gained player with unknown level of hurt factor given his disposal isn't yet reliable.

Apparently his girlfriend went into anaphylactic shock at the lions best and fairest and the club medical staff saved her life, so he signed on instead of trading out to us.

That might've come from Briztoon who might've got it from someone if I vaguely remember.

I'm not buying it.

Me either. Something like that would probably have made the news - it would be quite heroic for a medico to save a life then and there.

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

NHH looks inconsistent to me. Game winner one day, quiet for the next 3.

Freo can take him to pair with Shai

Where the 21 major trade deals sit with three days to go

The latest on where things stand on 21 deals ahead of a frantic finish to the 2025 trade period

From Cal Twomey's Insider Trading article



They literally could've gotten a second rounder from our dumb asses if they had let him go at the end of 2023. Even knowing that the Ashcroft's and Fletcher were coming in they wanted to keep him and used him a further grand total of 6 times and I'm pretty sure all of those were as the sub, thus tanking his value completely.

A pretty rare miss for Brisbane in recent times.

"Lick my baws."

- Brisbane and their two premiership cups.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

Sounds like shellfish behaviour to me

Yeah but it’s worked out well, now we get him for peanuts.

 

[Ruben Grubarb]

That might've come from Briztoon who might've got it from someone if I vaguely remember.

I'm not buying it.

Philtoon, they call him.

 

[stallon]

Are any of the NGA's or Banfield capable of coming in straight away and being the high pressure forward that we desperately lack who can chase down and tackle effectively when the opposition are trying to move the ball out of our F50?

Baker and Hutchinson potentially

 

[Mattman93]

GWS and dogs have swapped 14 and 37 for 12 so GWS now has the pick immediately before ours currently at 13.

Bye bye Dovaston, if he’s even still there.

Knowing GWS, yep. Them picking right before us is my nightmare.

They'll keep piling on agile forward half ground ball players and we'll probably take Farrow.

 

[InTheWings]

Apparently his girlfriend went into anaphylactic shock at the lions best and fairest and the club medical staff saved her life, so he signed on instead of trading out to us.

I heard that too. He didn't think he could walk out on the club that saved her life.

 

[jesterwester]

Very late to the Rowbottom party, but he’s the guy you take when you’ve got a fully established midfield.

They love him at Sydney as he does a lot of defensive work that means Warner and Heeney can go to play and not be burned defensively. He’d almost be about the first picked each week.

He’s not flashy, but he’s a really good footballer. He’d be a really astute buy I feel. But we just need to hit this draft with our top pick and hope that we can develop Dev into that type of footballer.

Yep and not at pick 13

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Agree on points Keys but 34 as opposed to 41 could be incredibly useful come draft night to pick up a couple of F2s/F3s to slide down the order a couple of picks.

Good example is in 2023 Richmond pocketed our F3 for sliding two places from 38 to 40 just so we could grab Hall. That ended up pick 39 before bids etc. in 2024.

Next year we’ll be needing points and picks for matching so I’d really drive a hard bargain with this trade, especially after overpaying for a trade with the same club last year.

And that could have got us Boxshall. Or been Grego without needing to trade a future in.

 

[eaglevision]

And that could have got us Boxshall. Or been Grego without needing to trade a future in.

Yep we significantly undervalued that pick in that draft.

 

[ThePuma #9]

Howya going CHAMP

Sorry not sure I know you.

Have I forgotten you before?

 

[dinnaz]

I’d only be looking at Elijah Hollands as a train on option

List spots are too valuable to use one up without a try before you buy period

He will inevitably look good no?
Unless he's enjoyed his time away from footy.

 

[ghostbat12]

Yep we significantly undervalued that pick in that draft.

no we didn't. Hall is great. let it go.

 

[eaglevision]

no we didn't. Hall is great. let it go.

We won’t know that for a number of years but it’s looking like a poor trade.

 

[ghostbat12]

I heard that too. He didn't think he could walk out on the club that saved her life.

in hindsight (space that eaglevision loves to live in), it was a sign that staying at lions is life threatening. certainly destroyed his career.

 

[ghostbat12]

We won’t know that for a number of years but it’s looking like a poor trade.

it looks pretty good to me. haven't seen any evidence to the contrary.

you do realise it wasn't a hall for Boxshall trade yeh? 3rd round pick and different draft years. I am not sure how anything 3rd round can be seen as poor trade, 12 months earlier.

do you live your life like this?
