Bazzo is who I'm hoping for with 31.

All the good mids are gone. That ships set sail.

Bazzo and if Roberts is still around at 36 maybe take a swing at that.

 

[Astro7]

Who do you reckon we get at 31?

An old pie and a sauce sachet past its expiry date?

 

[3agles87]

Ok who is someone likely to be available and who we want. I need a name to melt over when we don’t take them in 5 minutes

 

[Dylan82]

It was more enjoyable last year when we traded out of the first 3 rounds entirely.

Starting to think we might just reach for G.Clark way too early at this rate.

 

[Bestbird]

Still Draper, Taylor and Sonsie

 

[Nuke Fremantle]

Carlton on the clock
Midfielders absolutely flying off the board. Do the Blues look for a Liam Jones

How far behind is your stream

 

[Dylan82]

Richmond with x3 picks in a row.

Taking Sonsie with the first.

 

[Bacchus]

Freo just won the draft

Feather time for Belly

More than a feather, he’s waving around a full on head dress. They’re measuring him up for a statue. Sickening. At best we’re going for the consolation prize, but we partly at least only have ourselves to blame.

 

[dinnaz]

Roberts plz make it!!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Sonsie gone.

 

[paran]

Richmond got pretty good value there with Sonsie.

 

[bUCKET__]

Peacockburn

 

[JordanWCE]

Freo drafting like they want the derby to be our grand finals now.

 

[Cornelius Roy]

Draper then roberts would be just fine.

 

[Trav22]

Let’s be honest what did you boys think was going to happen, there was never going to be much left at our pick 29 (31)
At 35 (37) we will take Clarke

 

[Dylan82]

Three picks in a row and yet taking all their time on each - thrilling, this.

 

[Opposite Kids]

the clubs obviously submit their picks and the AFL hold it back so they can keep the suspense and do the online chats with players etc...F*CKIN ANNOYING

 

[larrikin]

Freo have had arguably one of the best drafts in a decade - the kind that dynasties can be created from.

Fantastic for them, but it leaves me feeling sick.

Because they got 3 West Australians?

 

[Opposite Kids]

who tf is samuel banks?

 

[UseR2006]

Let’s be honest what did you boys think was going to happen, there was never going to be much left at our pick 29 (31)
At 35 (37) we will take Clarke

The expectation was we take a Pure Mid with the first and Chesser at 29(31) as he was likely to slip anyway. instead we decided to grab someone who hasn't really played much in 2 years and still have major midfield issues.

 

[Dylan82]

Richmond next up with Banks at 29

Tasmania in the draft

 

[06Premiers]

FFS can we just redraft Doogs, Fraser & Parto already & get this shit over with

 

[Opposite Kids]

bazzo, draper, Roberts left

They hold them so they can give the kids just drafted some air time and talk about them. Glad they don’t steal the kids moment.
