Game Day Draft Day 2020

[Thewlis Dish]

Actually has happened multiple times in both those leagues. Just this year in the NBA, James Wiseman refused to work out for the Timberwolves (who held the number one pick) because he didn't want to be picked by them and get stuck behind their All-Star center in Karl-Anthony Towns.

In 2004, the San Diego Chargers in the NFL held pick 1 and Eli Manning, the top QB prospect at that time, flat out told the team he wouldn't play for them if they picked him. They ended up picking him anyway and he got traded 45 minutes later, never putting on a Chargers jersey. Neither player nor clubs were penalised in these scenarios.

Countless other draft prospects in the AFL over the years would have told interstate clubs they'd prefer to stay in their home state, as you've said. Perkins was just open enough to spill it on national radio and is now getting flamed non-stop for having a mentality that plenty of other players (including Bailey Smith

recently) have also had.

Steve Francis' agent called Vancouver and literally told them not to pick him and he would never play for them. They did anyway and he forced a trade to Houston before the season started.

 

[Nutjob]

He didn't just say he'd prefer to stay home, that should be obvious. He said he wouldn't be as committed. Its different.

Yep and I said in an earlier post that was poor form to say. I think if he had his time again, he would choose his words better. You could tell when asked the question, he was put on the spot.

It’s not a great look, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say it is draft tampering. Plenty of draftees have done the same as Perkins and plenty of clubs have picked them regardless.

At the end of the day, if he is on the board any club can take him.

What he said is **** any other place but Melbourne.

 

[susurrar]

i think i might actually tune in this year.

i still dont even know who adelaide are picking.

 

[spudmaster]

Coverage I see begins at 7pm, what time do we think the first pick will be ?

Friday if they keep the same speed as in previous years

 

[Smoocher]

Guaranteed guns.
Phillips, Campbell and DGB. Nothing surer than these 3 playing 200 plus games at an elite level.

Speculative.
Holland’s due to injury. May end up being the best but our club is no position to stuff our rebuild up with risking this pick.

Speculative.
McDonald because he is a forward. Could be a man child.
Thilly same as McDonal and is also a ruckman which you should never take with low picks.

Hawks giving us a touch up on foxfooty, perhaps a timely reminder to tread carefully when dealing with this club.


Just watched 3 minutes only to ziebell blindly hack it both possessions. "Had no other option" says one commentator. Im like yep, that's our Jack "one option" Ziebell for you mate.

Thommo did the old duck a tackle, gifting a set shot 25 out.

Camera crosses to Brad Scotts in the box, who's head i can't bare to even look at, and im like, " ok im done. Seen enough. Where this ****ing draft at."

Please, for the love of God, let the next decade of watching north games bring a bit more skill, excitement, flair, dominance, and Success than those year's with Brad.

 

[osaka mick]

Perkins definitely draft tampering and wouldn't fly in the NBA, NFL etc.

Nothing will happen though, plenty have done tthe same both to stay in Vic or the opposite, with no action taken.

As did Wingard SA (now at Hawks.......) and many WA.

It's wrong imo but if get away with it then sure, will keep happening.

Perkins should have said he is still on the teat and can't go interstate.

Worst in the NBA and they do it all the time.

NBA players who don't want to be drafted by a team don't do workouts with the team(s) and even refuse to interview with them. And they don't have to go to the combine.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Steve Francis' agent called Vancouver and literally told them not to pick him and he would never play for them. They did anyway and he forced a trade to Houston before the season started.

Kobe did the same with the Nets straight out of high school.

Fair enough.

I guess I just find it a massive flaw - with free agents mostly choosing big teams then we have draftees doing it.

 

[Hojuman]

Let's just hope any player who does this ends up like Bucks....
......premiershipless.

Funny if Perkins doesn't get drafted and then rookied at Freo.

 

[Selim]

is Kayo/Foxtel the only way you can watch this?

Unless off course we pick him up. In that case I hope he wins several flags.

Thanks Flawed Genius

Will make it easier for you moderate the vial language that's soon to follow lol

That's more a * thing would do actually.

It's not always for bad reasons.

Agents in NBA try to get their clients drafted to teams where they fit and to teams that develop players well rather than draft position.

Go to the right team/fit and the client more likely performs and get a more contracts (and higher). Go to the wrong team and they could be out of the leadge in years or on minimum contracts.
