Recruiting Mid Season Draft Thread - Welcome to Essendon Archie May, Lachlan Blakiston, Oskar Smartt & Liam McMahon!

[Snake Charmer]

Very very happy with that pick. 18 month contact let’s see if he can partner Caddy one day. Love it

 

[Bjchan13]

Archer May

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Complete melts on Collingwood board.

 

[bombreys]

Yesssss - reckon we may have got the best long term prospect here

 

[Cold Sober]

Instead of using it on someone else… we don’t need a parrfit type

We need anything we can get.

 

[Snake Charmer]

a key back and Raso would be great

 

[jannissary]

how's the haul been sofar?

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Gus Papal pls

 

[Snake Charmer]

Another key forward. Didn’t expect that. Very happy for Smartt

 

[Howard Moon]

Not a single tall back?

 

[andleanback]

Good get with archer may. But Geeze no tall defender, hopefully McMahon knows how to play defence

 

[doug85]

Not a single tall back?

Looks like we’re not in it for the ‘now’. Which is good

 

[bombreys]

No KPD extremely surprising

Love the first two picks

 

[Howard Moon]

Laverde can do it all

 

[Bipolar Bear]

Love this draft, struggle to kick a score and we grab 3 forwards who can kick goals.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

No KPD extremely surprising

Love the first two picks

Reckon this suggests long term thinking over the short term.

 

[rioli brownlow]

Reckon 2MP will go back.
Geez if a spud like Rory Lobb

can do it then surely 2MP can

 

[FootyGuru]

McMahon has played a fair bit down back too I’m pretty sure

 

[Howard Moon]

Reckon 2MP will go back.

Gerryn might be adaptable enough

 

[Keystone agony]

Looks like we’re not in it for the ‘now’. Which is good

SEH, Shiel and Davey should be worried after tonights draft imo

Thought Smartts highlights looked good, think some under estimate his speed a bit with the way theyve been talking

 

[ant555]

Reckon 2MP will go back.

Lobb is a bit quicker than 2MP. I think Caddy would be more likely to go back. 2MP is too slow to play defence IMO.

 

[thebigboy]

Really like the approach. Wonder if the Suns getting Oscar Adams changed our plans.

Either way, someone get Dermie that Dons scarf!

 

[windyhill]

Can never have enough Archie’s on your list !

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Reckon 2MP will go back.

Maybe Vigo. Trailed there last week in the first quarter. Did well defensively but had some shockers by foot, kicking into the man on the mark twice in a row. He's bit more agile than big Peter.

Other than uncontracted why would SEH be worried ?
