The bottom 10 on the blues list is very poor and barely VFL standard.

In a super draft they are better off taking a punt on an 18 year old or even a 19-20 year old with some vfl/sanfl experience.

They had access to two State League players, but they traded them both to Geelong and Adelaide

Geelong have signed Nigerian-Irish GAA player Stefan Okunbor as a Category B rookie

Could he be the greatest Afro-Irish guy since Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy?

Carlton has delisted Sam Rowe, Jed Lamb, Sam Kerridge and Nick Graham, unsurprising delistings, but now I'm wondering about the Blues' draft strategy. That makes it four vacancies, they have pick #1, then their second pick isn't until #69, then they have #71 and then #77. I presume they're using late picks on father-son prospects Will Hickmott and Ben Silvagni

wow I didn't even realise Sam Rowe is 31 next month.

 

[edgie]

He's effectively been retired for the last couple of years anyway

Popped out of retirement to play Port a few times.

The AFL should have let them draft some mature age recruits, oh wait they did and they traded them.

That's very clever trading. I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Geelong and Adelaide realise they've been traded the same two players

I went to the actual instagram post and I can’t see s**t, it’s too blurry

Even still, Essendon’s first pick isn’t until #34, so they’ll be twiddling their thumbs on the first night

I notice there's the top five picks, then a bracket covering picks 6 to about 20 odd. Top 5 elite picks confirmed.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

It looks like Max King is 5 because it's two short names.

Based on name lengths, guessing 1. Walsh 2. Lukosius 3. Rankine 4. Smith 5. M King

I think you are right, and if 5 is Max King, 6 must be Ben.

If that peels off any further we'll be getting complaints from Eddie McGuire in the mail.

Sign peeling off the wall of club HQ. If there was ever a symbol of the times...

There's a sign on the wall but he just wants to be sure 'cause sometimes the coach's instructions have two meanings.

Now if only our President opened his mouth now, for the right reason, in support of this.

ST KILDA has added behemoth and former US college basketballer Sam Alabakis to its list as a Category B rookie.

At 211cm, he matches Fremantle stalwart Aaron Sandilands and Collingwood's American sensation Mason Cox as the tallest players to ever be on an AFL list.

lol as if St. Kilda's system will make anything of a player like that.

 

[Marmozet]

Good on Adam Simpson. Doing what needs to be done.

I love how Victorians are already throwing the toys out the cot about this.

Don't worry, Billy Slater will get him up to scratch.

He probably will. Koch has had a few cracks during the year at the AFL about its Victorian-centric nature. If anything, the Coasters are following his lead.

Hopefully one of the Qld clubs and Sydney clubs follows suit as well. The non-Vic clubs drive me nuts in not presenting a united front against the Vics. We can be sure Fages will remain invisible unless a majority of other non-Vic club has spoken first. And probably not even then.

Isn’t it a bit strange that they ask the coach for whom the current system has worked best for in that particular year?
Talk about conservative echo chamber.
