The 2013 Draft - Post Mortem

[Chris25]

So we don't have hundreds of threads about the same thing.

Who won and lost according to BigFooty standards? Who were the bolters? Who were the sliders? Who is still available?

 

[Chris25]

Are you one of the two lucky people who the BigFooty servers work for? Well, discuss the aftermath of the draft in here.

Brisbane did very well from a quickly glance.
Happy with Billings, Dunstan and Acres.
GC's draft was unusual
Taylor + Marsh big sliders
Apeness + Leslie bolters

 

[God Save Max King]

Every club would have gotten who they wanted and should be satisfied with their picks, but Collingwood have the opportunity to become winners of the draft. With the development program they have, they could end up with 4, 100 game players.

 

[TJ1996]

I think people realised that Marsh can't kick. Glad he got a chance though, he's a super athlete.

 

[LeverPuller]

Everyone seems to be crash-hot on Jayden Hunt. Salem - eh. Happy with JKH.

 

[joop]

I think Brisbane and north did pretty well. Very happy with the saints picks.

 

[Zach Package]

big surprise was Leslie, if a project ruck was what they're after, they should have gone Lobb imo.

reasonably happy with our draft, reasonably will become very if we grab a key forward/ruck in the rookie draft

 

[SizeMatters]

Lions would have won it with Aish and Taylor alone.

 

[SSSSSS]

Brisbane did really well. GWS literally Giant. Darcy Lang didn't expect him going so early good Colac boy though.

 

[doona]

One word Collingwood. Second word Brisbane. Third GWS, 2KPFs in the first round......They have to many top end picks.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Hawthorn cleaned up with Hartung and Garlett.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I'm happy.

 

[Darksidepoints]

Collingwood... again

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Would have imagined the Saints got close to what they wanted form 3 top 20 picks

 

[eaglespremiers]

As always better to wait for proper hindsight.
Still not sure how GWS's forward line is going to function.
They obviously think their core of mids is about right.

 

[3rd Monkey]

Why on earth did GWS pick Cameron McCarthy??? It's bizarre - where are they gonna play him? As a small forward? They're going to end up spending several years developing him then having to trade him or Patton or whoever out just when they're about to hit their prime. It's weird is what it is. And then Lobb as well! Their other talls who aren't even in the team much yet like Jaksch, Phillipps etc are going to be looking at this thinking, "Well, that's it for my career at GWS."

 

[Westlo]

Good draft for GWS, Brisbane, Pies, North and the Saints.

Corr, Tomlinson just a really stupid dumb pick for mine.

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Reasonably happy with our three. Acres was rated pretty highly by some. Billings could be special and love the way Dunstan goes about it.

Collingwood domination again, though that was expected.

Brisbane would have to be happy too.

Really going to be something watching that GWS forward line in the next 4-5 years.

 

[Fin ice Smuggler]

I think the hawks did ok? They are developing a quicker midfield that complements their harder ball getting veterans.

Be hard to beat again next year even without buddy.

 

[Super Hans]

Hoping for Templeton in the rookie draft now.

 

[Igloo]

Pretty happy. I hope we can get Templeton as a rookie now.

Saints and Brisbane did very well. Saints would be stoked to get Acres.

 

[Jonno94]

Cameron McCarthy linked to Sydney this morning.

GWS Pick 14 - Cameron McCarthy

Love it!

 

[class78]

Happy with Crouch, Knight looks to be a solid role player type. Brisbane did pretty well, hoping Aish follows suit and comes home to Adelaide in 2015.
