Competitions Essendon Board Mock Draft 2020

[eth-dog]

TheGrizz with the double pick

 

[11kgm]

Most of them weren't (maybe Walker too) but yeah, to put it in perspective I was expecting to be the one to bid on Brand or Downie.

I was just going off Knightmare and i couldn't think of any other KPD that was available next one was literally Brand

There are rumours going Hawthorn might bid on him at 24 this year, but could also be trade talk bullshit

 

[TheGrizz]

Adelaide
Jack Carroll - East Fremantle/WA
Ins/Out Mid - 188cm 79kg
Surprise! Another WA boy. I am really clumping them atm moment, hopefully that helps with the homesickness.
Started as an outside midfielder/halfback into an inside midfield role this year and gives us a quality ball user around the ground. Not the most athletic guy but is mobile enough and works hard and at this pick is a bit of a steal.

Adelaide
Zac Dumesny - South Adelaide
Outside mid/HB - 187cm 80kg
Fits a similar mold to Carroll barr the inside mid part. Dumesney is a quality user of the footy and a decent mark above his head. Plays a composed game and can play from round 1 as a wing/half back and use his skills, as you can never have enough good kicks in yiur team. Being a local lad always helps as well.

Tippa43 You're up

 

[boncer34]

Yeah but often trades are done with future picks to get around such a low discrepancy so I think 300 seems fair for a bit more wriggle room.

Do you have a link or something to where the AFL have said 200?

Purely out of interest.

With pick #3 Essendon selects Elijah Hollands

Harlequin Dream

Well done on not selecting Thilthorpe. Approved.

Lore?

 

[Lore]

Lore?

There's no link that I can find, I looked the other day. I feel like it was something mentioned by the likes of Damian Barrett or someone on trade radio a few years ago but yeah. No hard evidence, like lots of things AFL.

 

[eDPS]

I’ll give Tippa43 an hour to make their selection and I have foj1 choice for GC already in the pipeline so if you could be on standby for an hours time Vindicater we can get a few rolling

 

[Tippa43]

Sorry left it a little bit late.

Brisbane select Shannon Neale.

 

[Tippa43]

Dont know how to tag the next person sorry.

Put the "@" in front of their name foj1

Sorry left it a little bit late.

Brisbane select Shannon Neale.

I'm honestly bummed that Brisbane probably won't make this pick in real life. The meme potential of them having two players with the last name Neale is off the charts.

You type @ and then their username immediately after it. In this case it would be foj1.

foj1 for Gold Coast selected Zavier Maher

Vindicater

 

[Vindicater]

Melbourne select Zane Trew

Adding another rugged Midfielder to the mix will help keep pressure on the starting midfield Group.

Trew adds some class to his inside work as well and along with the earlier pick of Ford adds something new to the mix.

What pick is this?

 

[11kgm]

What pick is this?

33

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Collingwood select Isiah Winder. 11kgm

 

[eDPS]

Richmond bids on Edwards slowed this year but I think that's because Adelaide tried to hide him

TheGrizz

Mate

 

[eDPS]

Knightmare had him going around 40

If you want me to I can change to Coleman

Mate x2

 

[eth-dog]

Coleman is tipped to go earlier at 38

Then go Western tipped to go at 35

You don't need to put a bid on everybody. Especially considering that most of the guys you've bid on aren't exactly needs for Richmond and reached for a few of them.

Dude, you'e put the bid on. It's fine. You can take whoever after if Adelaide match

 

[Vindicater]

Too many bids way to early for who is making the bid
