Official 2011 Draft Day Thread

I sure as hell hope the recruiters know what they are doing??? Most of the picks we have picked weren't even mentioned before the draft.

Patrick Weardon

191cm - tall midfielder

This draft is a surprise. No genuine midfielders.

After all the BF talk

 

[Special88]

Hmmm. Guess they don't rate the talls?

 

[jackess]

It seems to me like they went for the best available with the first two picks and then two super athletes with the next two which seems a bit strange to me.

 

[Bucking Beads]

In Hadley we trust!!

 

[dlanod]

Was listed as a tall forward on http://www.wafootball.com.au/talent...orwards-named-for-2011-nab-afl-draft-combines, but that tends to be a loose categorisation.

Thought the same thing. Maybe after Greene went they thought the quality was gone??

Really, I'd heard of our first three. That we'd take a smokey at our last shouldn't really surprise.

Yeah, I hope they don't turn out like the other guy we did that with... What was his name again? Reddie? Rodin? Redden?

 

[ZoBlitz]

This draft is a good example that BF groupthink isn't very indicative of the thinking of the recruiters.

 

[The Flying Belgian]

No Downie yet. Interesting.

Edit: gone

 

[jackess]

Wow Sellar to Melbourne.

 

[chopperduck]

Seems like no genuine gun mids or genuine KPP. Strange draft, but plenty of talent between Longer and Docherty, could be an exciting pick with Yeo and a Hadley special in the unknown Wearden.

 

[dlanod]

Looks like we traded Longer for Downie.

 

[DrummoSolo]

No Downie yet. Interesting.

Spoke too soon!

 

[dlanod]

No Downie yet. Interesting.

Nice timing here.

 

[jackess]

Downie to GWS. Suck it Gubby.

Freo going after the SA boys.

Looking forward to the club explaining the picks.

 

[loyallion]

I'm really starting to dislike the GWS already!!!!

Of course they do, Don't believe everything you read about the draft until it happens!!! The clubs know more about the prospects than anyone else does.

 

[gecko8]

Manson for rookie draft?

 

[greendiesel]

Weardon moves like Pendlebury........

 

[jackess]

Matt Rendell from the Crows really knows his stuff. Almost as good as Hadley.

Oh shut up.

Redden, Karnezis, Banfield etc - no one picked them before their drafts.

We were slitting our wrists when we overlooked Lucy and Cousins and Josh Thomas and Thorp etc etc.

I'd trust our recruiters over any casual observer.

 

[irel]

Potential A grade ruckman
2 classy defenders
and an underrated utility.

Lots of faith shown in our current developing midfielders. Beams, Green and Harwood.
