Nick Haynes! this draft truly is full of surprises

 

[gecko8]

Haynes @ 7... bolter of the draft?!??

 

[cotter101]

I prefer Tomlinson but I'm still happy we took Longer.

 

[dlanod]

It's going to be interesting to see what the club posts about the Longer pick.

Was still hoping for Wingard to GWS, shame. Top 5 is obvious now.

 

[JasRulz63]

Power get Wingard.

 

[Hanley]

Very happy with Longer! Haynes at seven is interesting too...

 

[lionshine]

Wingard to port

 

[cheekyLionsFan]

Welcome longer

 

[PTizzle]

Wingard to Port, no surprises there. They'll be happy to get their man though.

 

[jackess]

Port fans ought to be very happy I reckon.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Absolutely wrapped at getting Longer.

 

[chopperduck]

I said i didn't agree if we picked Longer, but he is a great talent, and a good get. Happy to have a kid of his calibre at the club. Bergs would be happy lol.

 

[Warwick]

Good pick.

Welcome Billy.

 

[lionshine]

Buntine at 5

 

[loyallion]

I really wanted the Lions to pick Tomlinson

 

[Mayestro]

Bombshell with Longer. Perhaps GWS left both Tomlinson and Longer presuming we'd take Tomlinson?

The thinking is likely Clark replacement first and foremost.

 

[JasRulz63]

This backwards top 10 is a joke...the suspense is at pick 10-6 not 5-1.

Interested we passed on Tomlinson for Longer, but I'll back in the recruiters to know more than I do.

 

[cotter101]

Docherty at 12 please

 

[GabbaMan]

Longer, yes, yes, yes.

 

[PTizzle]

I would've liked Tomlinson too but we needed a ruckman and Longer looks like he'll be great. Have faith in the recruiters .

Wow, WHE at 4, Tyson at 3. No chance for us there.

 

[cheekyLionsFan]

guess not

 

[lionshine]

What did Longer look like when he got his Jersey off Vossy?

 

[cmt26]

Shocked we passed on Tomlinson, but stoked to get Longer!

We must have been keen on Haynes if GWS pulled the trigger at 7. Great result for us!

 

[Mavlions1961]

Greene at 12???

 

[loyallion]

maybe Dom tyson will slide.

Nope
