Rumour Draft Rumours 2025

[Coach_Required]

Yeah his top ten late mail.

Because if you go by the one he did last year this time he also picked Lindsay for you.

Now that his late mail has dropped are you still holding out hope that it changes?

Not really because I'm happy with Taylor, Sharp and Dove. (And Taylor and Dove are exactly what Essendon need instead of the "good boys" that ****er Dodo stuck too)

And if you actually watched his content he's only confident on the top 6 and after bids you start at 7....

Wanted Taylor all year Robey is nice and will be good

But man seeing Taylor and Roberts in the same backline with that mongral they play with is gonna be nice we have also been crying out for guys like Sharp and Taylor imo

and Dov is a good pickup to go with Kako

I want Robey & Cumming, been that way for a while now, if we don't get them both I'll be lying if i say i wouldn't be disappointed, but then again I'm not a recruiter and Taylor or whoever it is we do draft still appear to be highly sort after so I will be keen to see how their career goes.

Haha, most of us just want to have a laugh, a few serious souls and a few lost souls as well.

[jesterwester]

No, you don't. You can respect his correct views, but disrespect his idiocy (which there was plenty).

I probably worded that wrong.

I mean I respect he at least backed up his thoughts with his own reasoning, and trusted his own judgment.

Even if his reasoning was wrong (such as in the case with Callow)- He at least had his reasons which were based on his own methods, even when that wasn’t popular.

As someone that doesn’t get to see all draftees, I appreciate hearing all viewpoints - good or bad. Drafting isn’t exact science and ALL of us are guilty of falling in love with prospects that don’t make it for a number of reasons.

mate get amongst it, dont just sit on the sidelines.

if your mob gets Robey, gloating on the richmond board would be the funniest shit

Agree totally. A crazy inexact science.

Makes November interesting post-ponies though.

I wish we could do the lot on one day - including rookies.

Too much work.

Happy it's spaced out.

 

[tigs2010]

North aren’t keen on Pickett. More keen on Dovaston, Lindsay and Schubert though.

So you're saying you wont take a SANFL reserves player with a top 15 draft pick? Lol

 

[THE_GUN]

I still cannot believe we are having the "Why would you bid in order of your rankings if you won't get the player" discussion

Whats more important when drafting

Sticking to your order or actually having a chance to get the 2 players you want and giving yourself the best chance to get them ?

You will get Robey

Tigers bluffing tell Rosa not to fall for it

Someone will.
Personally I hope it isn't us, but if it is, I hope he is the next Gary Ablett snr

Caruso when he has a chance to take a guy in the first round who is ranked 84th on every other teams draft board

Tbf, he has been pretty right more than most.

Some of those reaches have been out better selections, Darcy Jones, Angove (probably not rated in the wider AFL yet) and to.a lesser extent XOH were all earlier than expected.

Sticking to your order? The player we want the most is Duursma, he’ll be pick 1 as he should be.

Could at least finish day two before the test match starts lol

 

[briztoon]

2023 West Coast’s first pick, a HBF with midfield potential.

2024 West Coast’s first pick, a HBF with midfield potential.

2025 West Coast’s first pick, a HBF with midfield potential.

Must be getting crowded back there.
