We honestly did alright with that Sydney trade allows us to have a better attack later and possibly a better 3rd round pick of next year

now a bid on Martyn ..... Richmond have lost the plot

 

[briztoon]

Busy with family, but watching it in the background. Our recruiters weren’t expecting the Coleman bid.

We could have packaged our two later second round picks for that North Melbourne pick 27.

We’re obviously got a kid in mind.


Well f*** you Richmond, double dipping.

 

[ImAFreeMan]

Fu** Richmond didn’t they also bid on Hipwoof and Keayes? Leave us alone

Robertson definitely seems pumped, great stuff!

 

[seanthelion]

At least tonight is not boring. Welcome D.Robbo, Coleman, and B.Smith.

Jamieson then.

One Lions fan will be freaking happy with that.

I don't like Richmond either, but calling em "dogs" is a bit harsh.

Collingwood must be pretty stoked with Rantall and Bianco.

I only base that on where the experts ranked these kids, but with picks 40 and 45 to get two highly ranked players so late is impressive.

eagles got him

Unfortunately you probably give our recruiters 5/10 tonight.

Gave up a fair amount for Robertson who must have question marks. Smith looks pretty average. Coleman we could have got last year as a rookie. Missed out on 2 academy players. Trading on the night was very poor.

With Coleman a lot of clubs could of picked up Tim Kelly.. If he went a year or so before who knows if he have the same work rate.
Maybe missing out last year was the extra year he needed or the kick in the bum he needed..
Robertson trade was weird what we gave up although future will be what it is.

Can't disagree with any of that.

The Port trade was just head scratching. Really look forward to hearing the reasoning tomorrow night.

Gotta laugh at this one.

Clutching at straws a bit - come on, if you're going to talk down our draftees surely there's something more concrete than "must have questions marks" or "looks pretty average". Quite willing to listen to more constructive criticisms for that, but it sounds just like you're speculating on the former and watched some highlights and not much more for the latter.

It's not like we actually missed out on two academy players as it was pretty clear Martyn was never in our considerations, and Cumberland had only been flagged as a secondary option that we might get. Drafting players just because they were in our academy means we'll clog our list with players not up to it and/or have an unbalanced list.

What happened to our pick 61?

 

[dlanod]

Can't disagree with any of that.

I predict it'll be a case of "we rated him in the top 10, so getting him for a pair of second round picks was a bargain."

Arguing whether our rating is correct is valid, but the trade would follow from that rating so it's hard to argue about the trade.

Edit: FWIW I tend to distrust anyone who thinks their draft evaluation is significantly better than every other team, so if that is the explanation there's a fair chance we are wrong.

Traded to Fremantle for their 2020 5th.

COMMENCE THE DEATH RIDE.

Judging how well anyone has drafted on the night is always pointless. See you in three or four years.
