Apologies for the echo on the podcast from my end - I will fix that next time.

Didn’t touch on category B or NGA.

Two reasons. Time was tight and we collectively don't have any real insights to our Cat B/NGA. If you do, it might be good to get you on the podcast. Any interest?

 

[Falco]

Great podcast lads, thoroughly enjoyed and would really like to be able to contribute in 2020, a few work things permitting.

Great suff guys !

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Really interesting listen, a lot of good potential names floated for our two picks. Looking forward to seeing who we end up with.

 

[plays tall 1]

Super work guys!

 

[Quinz]

For someone who struggles to follow the leadup to the draft, the podcast was a very easy, enjoyable listen. Good work folks.

Finally got round to listening to this. Good pod and found it interesting with the benefit of knowing who was taken and when

During the podcast there were (legitimate) concerns that Geelong would raid the WA talent on offer and make us look a little foolish for giving up so much to get Kelly

Have to say that these fears weren’t even remotely realised as Geelong avoided taking any WA players with their picks. In fact, what they’ve ended up with from their Kelly picks is a little underwhelming albeit that they still have two future 1st round picks (11 and 19 ) to use as a result of the Kelly trade

Don't they now have 3 first round picks?

Their own (#1)
GC (#11)
Ours (#19)

They do, but I was referring to the 2 they add as a result of the Kelly trade - our first and the Gold Coast compo pick that they secured by trading one of this years picks we gave them

The Kelly trade will be judged in part by the quality of what Geelong bring in with the picks we gave them. I’m not overly fussed with what they’ve done so far but since they still have two more first rounders to use from the trade it’s premature to judge

Questions for tonight’s pod HoneyBadger35

1) Which player(s) that were available at the time of our selections are our experts most disappointed that we overlooked.
2) Jarrod Pickett as a SSP - good or bad idea and if not him then who else should we be considering

I would argue the trade will be judged on what output TK has, given he was brought in to push our flag aspirations today.
