Opinion Pick 30* (snap poll added)

[Crusty Demon]

Surprised we didn't pick up a mid, but maybe we just didn't rate any this draft outside the top few. Thought Greeves and HH would have been a better option, but don't mind the dangerous forward of centre types. Our forward half is utter garbage. So hopefully this might transform it.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Look to find a couple deep in the draft to develop into smaller backs. That’s another need IMO but no point spending much capital to get one.

I think Laser could play as a small back pretty well. Maybe even give Hendo a try.

 

[Lampers]

I do love Shifter. Describes pick 73 like they will be a perennial All Australian. He’d give the best performance reviews if he was your boss.

 

[danster168]

Well hey, we needed small forwards and we got two in the end.

Pickett, Steele, Langford, Viney, Rivers, Windsor and Lindsay is enough midfield power for where we're at. Have another crack at Humphrey next year and see what happens.

I dont want humphrey at his cost. he'd be a nice piece but not for what the asking price would be. its a lot for a guy that averages only 15 touches and a goal.

Basically the same as what Petracca averaged at the same age

Never heard of him. Never noticed him in anything. But the highlights look good. In JT we trust.

He's in a stacked team that is only getting more stacked. He'd get a lot more mid time with us which would increase his numbers. Would suit our supposed new gamestyle too. He's dynamic and loves a goal. If Matthews and Latrelle can develop, both look dangerous quick types, then add Humpers in there with Kozzie and wowee! I love what we are trying at least. Time will tell if it all comes together.

Still think we need that nuggety midfielder, hopefully our pick 4 next year can snare us a Mckercher, Butters, Daicos type mid. Rather that over Humphrey but that’s because I’m traumatised after 10 years of the three amigos.

Traumatised over ten years of one of our best periods in decades where we won a flag with them being integral?

Were you alive when we were a laughing stock?

lol. Yeah Oliver might have ended up a disaster, but f* he played some good footy for us and was very integral in us winning our first flag in most of our lives. Time to move on with Kingy. I'm sure it won't be pretty initially, but i like what we are trying to do.

 

[I Love Lamb]

Clubs are taking a big shit on fox footys rankings right now.

Time will tell if it all comes together.

also more opportunity, plenty of inside 50's, doesn't get the main defender or any tags. No excuses as far as I'm concerned. He loves his 1 goal a game? who cares. For his cost, I'd want 45 goals a year.

Next years draft crop is apparently amazing. we'll get a better player than Humphries with our first pick.

Game has clearly moved on from that style of footy, it’s pretty clear the list we had should have achieved more than it did.

 

[Scythe]

Well nobody rates NHH and Greeves it seems, haha

 

[booshboy]

do we have anymore picks?

 

[Lampers]

do we have anymore picks?

There were two more on a list put up during the coverage. It doesn’t mean they will be used for sure as they may want to leave spots for train on players.

 

[I Love Lamb]

More I’m reading / seeing about Matthew’s the more I like. Perfect pick I think.

 

[I Love Lamb]

do we have anymore picks?

We have pick 56/58 but not sure if they are for White/Sinemma or what our list count looks like.

 

[Crusty Demon]

If Greeves Or HH is still there at our next pick, maybe we pull the trigger? Otherwise are we done?

Ludowyk still there as well, plus probably 10 other Taylor specials. But assume if we were keen we would package 56/58 and a future to get up a bit?

Lots of egos getting a reality check.

Surely Adelaide don't pass on Greeves.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Over 30% are academy/father-son's so far in this draft lol
