[BennyGan]

Onley I wouldn’t mind taking a swing on because you don’t really see guys his size that quick. Also like the look of Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier. He’s a mid but his kicking looks really nice and has some speed too. Reckon he could became a back flanker.

 

[year of the cat]

It will be someone from a club 140km west of Oodnadatta we pick up. Wells will get his licence tomorrow to get his once a year smokey.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Keeping your word is pretty important imo.

It is but I wouldn't have given kmf that word I cant see him making it.

 

[Lana]

Doubt we find a KPF tomorrow.

Molier is a better prospect than any forward we would've got in this draft.

It's a really poor one for talls, and the best one in Schubert kicks it like John Butcher.

I'd take any of NHH, Rodriguez, Oudshoorn-Bennier, or Blamires tbh. I haven't rated Onley or Greeves at all, but as rookies you could do worse at this point.

Expecting Rongdit though for the good vibes. We clearly don't rate most of this draft, and with good reason.

You convinced me

 

[CatToTheFuture]

It is but I wouldn't have given kmf that word I cant see him making it.

We are still liable for a year of KMFs contract. We're not walking away from him

We might leave him until last of the three picks and hope though

 

[Larry Donohue]

Missed the end
Did we upgrade Mullin

 

[year of the cat]

Assume we are just pick 17 tomorrow?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Assume we are just pick 17 tomorrow?

Correct

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Assume we are just pick 17 tomorrow?

What sort of timing is 2:20pm
That's first session day 1.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Absolutely jealous of Port Adelaide's French recruit tonight. Farken N'Obody

Can’t kick or handball on either side but is very evasive.

 

[BigCat1]

He have a better history of drafting guys with physical traits then dudes that put up big numbers at 18s. I back our development guys for sure.

This is so true. If they aren't a mature ager (which we have extraordinary success with) the more of a lump of clay you are the better - Z Guthrie, Blitz, Dempsey, Holmes, the Irish Guys, Neale (was a ruck), Jack Henry, Humphries. Half our team.

Geelong have swung absolutely to the if you can run you can play. Its why its still baffling that we selected George Stevens.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

This draft was so cactus and largely a 2 night event of blind darts that the usually reliably informed Cal Twomey got 12 of his top 30 correct, and 7 of those were F/S or academy bid matched.

 

[And_ROOS]

Absolutely jealous of Port Adelaide's French recruit tonight. Farken N'Obody

Is he related to the last French player they recruited, Barnaby?

 

[Ross]

Can’t kick or handball on either side but is very evasive.

Won them over with his performance in this game.

 

[Lana]

If you check it at the end of the day the player we select won't have changed

 

[AM]

This draft was so cactus and largely a 2 night event of blind darts that the usually reliably informed Cal Twomey got 12 of his top 30 correct, and 7 of those were F/S or academy bid matched.

This is not directed at Cal whom I quite like, but I do get a kick out of it when the soothsayers miss the mark.

 

[BigCat1]

Obviously Cal gets pretty good mail as does Chris and Dan at the Herald Sun

The players specifically linked to us in their write-ups that are still available are

Cal AFL.com
Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves
Ollie Greeves
Riley Onley
Fred Rodriguez
Tom Blamires

The Herald Sun linked us to
Ollie Greeves
Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves
Liam Hertherton
Marcus Herbert
Tom Blamires

All this is assuming we don't select both of Mellor and Rongdit which would mean we are done

 

[cats_09]

Missed the end
Did we upgrade Mullin

Yes, kinda

Rookie upgrades are no longer formally part of the draft - while you can use rookie upgrades to count towards your 3 ND pick requirements, Clubs advise the AFL of any upgrades as part of the list lodgement and it's a process that's automatically done

Here's the list as advised earlier this week as published by Twomey - for future pub quiz questions, Port Adelaide technically drafted no one during this year's ND and instead used their 3 rookie upgrades to cover the mandatory list changes

We won't get Greeves because we already have hit our Ollie quota.

Rodriguez is a shout, been a while since we had a Fred on the playing list.

 

[bombersboy]

When you put it that way, we're probably well stocked in that area.

We could do with a KPD to develop in the VFL for a couple of years

 

[dazbroncos]

I see it the complete opposite to be honest. Holmes is all upside, it's the floor that's the worry.

If it clicks in our development, we've got Max 2.0. If it doesn't, we've just taken a taller Osca Riccardi, but I'm okay with that risk in this draft.

Greeves on the other hand is a player where you know exactly what he's going to be, and it's why clubs are off him. A fusion of Mitch Knevitt and George Stevens, with most of the worst traits of both.

Agree with this exactly - the upside is massive its where the floor is thats the issue and then is pick 33 too high for that kind of shy at the stumps.

Different player totally but Scratcher was pick 33.... so apples to apples pick wise at the time Scratcher was the better player.. but both have massive upsides.

With Worpel and Bruhn back for 26... the speed og Holmes x 2 in 27 and beyond is potentally lethal. Worth the ping especially given Wells and CO record outside Top 20

GO Catters

 

[dazbroncos]

Since 2022, GCS have had 9 picks ( 1/2 a starting 18) in the Top 18 picks overall.

We have had 2.

GCS made a semi final last year and got 4 picks inside 18 this year....

This is the AFL's version of equalisation lol...

GO Catters

 

[CatToTheFuture]

With how stocked we are currently i'd rather draft a kpf and then whoever fails between him, Polk, and Molier can get a run down back

 

[BORIS332]

It is but I wouldn't have given kmf that word I cant see him making it.

He has some weapons, I wouldn’t be writing him off.
