Does this Frank Anderson bloke play inside or outside mid? Looks like he has plenty of upside but only if we can use him on the wing.

 

[Topkent]

Why would I do that when I can watch superstars like May Preuss and KK go around at the G this weekend old son

3 for the price of one 1 say..

For some reason the name Frank seems wrong for a footballer unless pre 2nd world war

 

[Dancing Potato]

There are people under 60 called Frank?

The hell?

It’s short for Frankingcredits

Or Frankinghell.

So, we have pick 2 on Monday. Praying we take a 18/19 year old instead of a mature aged from the VFL... we don't need another Wagner or Lockhart on our list.

Not that I know anything other than what websites are publishing - but Hirst and Dunkley look like early picks. Hirst probably fits out needs more (outside pace) but it depends on who Carlton grab. Hanrahan is another outside user which we need, while Riordian also be good (inside, but quick on the burst from packs).

Almost certain we take some 24 year old inside midfielder who's known for his competitiveness

Garbage time might leave us with pick 3 instead lel

Looks like Carlton might go mature-age https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-05-26/blues-set-take-former-dockers-midfielder-deluca-with-no1-pick

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Either of Cody Hirst or Kyle Dunkley will do for me. Deluca could be handy at Carlton honestly.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

This entire thing reeks of us bringing in players like Viv Michie and Ben Newton tho

 

[stEdy]

Yep, people getting excited about these players that will most likely not play a game and will be behind players like Corey Wagner are kidding themselves

The hype around it is so weird. If that Lowson fella really is roving packs and kicking goals then I'm happy to have him on board, but otherwise you're just handing a short contract to a guy to play for your VFL team instead of another one.

 

[blitznu]

******* glad we took Dunkley

 

[CWaffles]

******* glad we took Dunkley

Yep i was nervous to think who we would take but happy we got him, Sydney were trying to get him as a father son shut the afl shut it down.

 

[rhaz]

I'm excited when it's youth and they might be a late bloomer. Fritsch, while down on form at the moment, is a classic example.

We've lost a chance to develop Nietzsche for a year so I'm happy to get another kid we can put time into. Comes from a good pedigree too.

 

[Pedantic]

Don't tell me Dunkley is another inside contested mid with suspect skills?

Good genetics I suppose though so worth a crack.

 

[CWaffles]

Lowson didn't even get picked up.

 

[stabler]

Lowson didn't even get picked up.

Poor lad feel for the bloke

 

[Cannon82]

Says a bit about the thoughts on the talent on offer that several clubs didn't even bother dipping into the barrel to get a free look at a player for the rest of the season.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

We could have had Hirst if we’d had another pick. I’d have delisted half our list for the punt tbh

I guess that money adds up. $75k if you delist him at years end so no point picking up someone who probably wont play if you have a decently healthy list. Funny how we gonna get all our players back now so dont need extra bodies

 

[Demon 16]

Lowson didn't even get picked up.

Poor bloke got injured this weekend.

I’m surprised he played given he was highly likely to be drafted on Monday night.

The drafting of Keilty, Bull Smith, Fritsch, CWags + Lockhart is an interesting one.

On the one hand, great for culture and to reward performance for Casey.

On the other hand, approx. 10% of our list comes from our affiliate. Is our scouting not good enough?

How many of those guys did we suggest Casey recruit so we could have a look at them in our structures. Wagner definitely was, Lockhart appears to have been another.
