Review Draft Review

[PepperFace]

Overall I'm pretty disappointed. We seemed to have gone for the safe picks rather than try to unearth a star. I would have gone:

5: Cockatoo
9: Moore (fs)
30: Blakely
48: Clem Smith
75: pass

 

[TradeDraft]

Well I think we have gone for Big Body Cometive Mids with 1st 2 Picks. Both use the Ball very Well.

Goodyear is the Developing Player.

I could see both De Goey and Maynard play RD 1

5 De Goey - Was a bit annoyed we were rumored to be after him, but he's grown on me to be honest.
9 Moore - Chuffed!
30 Maynard - Really happy with this pick, looks like a tough nut too!
48 Goodyear - First time I've heard of him!
75 Pass - Disappointing!

Cockatoo is either going to be a gun or fizzle out in a few years there will be no inbetween IMO could not justify that type at 5

Essendon the big winners

Feel sorry for those going to the Peptide Bombers.

They Probably play Early Then

Cockatoo at 5 after he played ONE game for the year?

I'm happy with our first 2 picks, think they will be good long term players and Goodyear fills a need.

De Goey will play 200 games

 

[Tbone McGraw]

It feels a bit of a flat draft but that is when Hine (with Rendall) does his best work.

Passing at 75 big surprise for me.

 

[the mighty T]

Essendon the big winners

Not so sure about that. They certainly made the most of the picks they had but truthfully there's no guarantee that Langers becomes anything more than a wiry flanker. But who knows, purely speculation at this stage.

As for Collingwood, we addressed a need that was evident throughout the season: hard nuts in the middle. Gotta say I'm pleased with our selections. Sure, Goodyear is an unknown but I think we should give the recruiters the benefit of the doubt here.. Tom Langdon anyone?

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

Hopefully de goey can perform as a forward cos we need more.
Overall not that excited.

 

[KJpie]

Feel sick with the cheats picking Langford and Laverde at 17 and 20.

The difference between a tyre and 200 used condoms


Ones a Goodyear the other is a f%#cking Goodyear

 

[pieman123]

Like the De Goey pick but not sure about drafting 2 other similar players, would have liked a small/med fwd.

 

[Apex36]

Yep. It's like the sanctions taking away their picks didn't even matter

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Not too fussed about picks 48 and 75. They're a lottery ticket, and I'm happy to trust the team that they saw something in Goodyear. Thought Reece McKenzie would have been worth a shot at 75 rather than passing.

De Goey sounds promising, but does highlight the issue that it was very unclear between picks 4-20 basically. Sounds good, but nothing at this point to indicate he'll be any better than guys taken more than 10 picks later.

Maynard I know little about, so again, happy to trust those who have spent time watching him play.

De Goey and Moore will probably be where the value lies, or fails, so we'll see how they go.

To be honest, the news about Phillip Hughes largely killed my excitement about today from a sporting perspective. Will no doubt be more excited about these guys as the preseason rolls on and we see they get close to a debut.

 

[Rusty Beam]

Like the De Goey pick but not sure about drafting 2 other similar players, would have liked a small/med fwd.

I really think that was the idea, however I suspect that player was McLean

 

[KJpie]

Hopefully de goey can perform as a forward cos we need more.
Overall not that excited.

Agree,

For mine we have chosen De Goey to replace Beams as a goal kicking mid.

That said I do like the kid.

 

[shizzle]

Very happy with De Goey, Moore and Maynard, really good picks.
Don't know much about Goodyear so can't really comment, but hope he gets the best out of himself at the Pies.

 

[Billy Puller]

I hear De Goey is like Beams but with a defensive side. Collingwood clear winners

 

[BEEG]

Really hoping we were going to call Blakely name out at 30

 

[mattys123]

We definitely went in with a plan it seems, to pick physical players who can win their own ball, all 3 we chose tonight seem to be just that.

Maynard is the biggest get for mine, really looks ready to make an impact at AFL level straight away and at pick 30 could be a steal.

De Goey and Moore together is just awesome, no problem with player retention there.

 

[PepperFace]

Very happy with De Goey, Moore and Maynard, really good picks.

So....your hoping he has a good year?

De Goey Kennedy Grundy Freeman is going to be a very good midfield in a few years
