Mega Thread Delist/Trade/Draft Supermegaultrathread - Draft Washup edition

[Miguel Sanchez]

Yeah not like we knew every other club would ignore the PSD when we did the trade.

And Melbourne, St Kilda or the Bulldogs may have left themselves a PSD pick had Yeo been available.

Hahaha

Mark Macgugan: ​

Well. That was exciting.

There will now be a 10-minute wait before the rookie draft begins.

Mark Macgugan: ​

The pre-season draft went for 18.8 seconds.

One of the comments, by 'Jack' I think, on the afl.com.au draft thread was: "any of the recruiters say they were shocked that Pass was available at their pick?"

 

[pantskyle]

Will Maginness.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

First rookie on a midfielder at least

 

[EagleMan87]

So let me get this straight....

We gave up pick 28 for Yeo when we were offering 31. We did so when in the PSD we could have effectively got him risk free as we would have had the second live pick. The first live pick going to GWS who were committed to Lamb.

Solid....

I don't mind giving up a pick - but folding like a cheap suit over the 28/31 pick was ridiculous when we held all the cards

Someone on here was saying that Yeo refused to go to the PSD and would have re-signed with Brisbane if we'd tried that.

Not sure how true it is, but it would explain a bit.

 

[Spooky17]

Will Maginness.

Anyone have a draft profile handy?

out first rookie pick:

Position:MidfielderHeight:182cmWeight:75kgBorn:13.1.95
A medium midfielder who can also go forward. A driven individual and genuine student of the game. His clearance work and ability to make the right decisions under pressure are features of his game, as is his hard running.

It's not always about having the enemies head on your pike at your front gate.
Some say we folded, but generally this is the way the eagles operate, they want to get a player and they make sure they get them. Not leave it to circumstances out of their control. IF, it is a big if at this stage, Yeo turns out to be the player that the Eagles think he can be then the 3 pick upgrade to Brisbane will be neither here nor there.

 

[pantskyle]

Never heard of him.

 

[pantskyle]

Welcome Will.

Callum Twomey:
As we reported yesterday, the Tigers go with Banfield. North liked Joel Tippett, and so did the Saints with Templeton so no surprise they picked him at No.3. Maginness is a good pick for the Eagles

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Good pick up!

 

[BloominH]

Will Maginness is a medium midfielder who can also go forward why?

 

[Masto]

Rohan Powell

 

[pantskyle]

Second rookie:

22. West Coast: Rohan Powell (Claremont)

 

[idmfts]

Templeton taken by the saints. Charlie Cameron taken by Adelaide. Battersby, Tsitas, Miller, Bourke still available

 

[Mattman93]

Ah, so we did go with Powell.

 

[swannies]

Is this like a kiss of death for Maginess?

Callum Twomey:
Maginness is a good pick for the Eagles.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Never heard of Powell, can anyone shed some light?

Would have loved Battersby.

 

[Spooky17]

Highlights look alright. Good kick, really likes how he get's his head right over the ball. Pace looks alright, good shot on goal.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Tall KPD makes sense given we genuinely only have 3 on the list

 

[TOA.]

Never heard of Powell, can anyone shed some light?

Would have loved Battersby.

Cant even find him from quick google search. Really think we should have taken Bettersby but anyway.

 

[swannies]

Ah, so we did go with Powell.

Who Mattman93? Tell me what you know about 22. West Coast: Rohan Powell (Claremont)

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I think it is Rowen Powell
