Game Day The 2025 Draft Day Thread

[UseR2006]

And a song to sing as we watch,

Hey Matty Clarke by Kevin (Random260) Wilson :

Hey Matty Clarke you campaigner, where the **** is Sharp
I’ve looked at all these other spuds and there’s no one that I like
I wrote you a ****ing letter and posted about it twice
You dopey ****ing Richmond fart, you forgot my ****ing Sharp

If I wanted a stupid ruckman type, I would’ve bloody asked
And this half back flank and temu mid, you can shove right up your arse
You’ve stuffed the bloody order up, it’s enough to make you spew
But it’s not just me who’s snakey, SGIO is dirty too

Next time I come to see ya, I’m going to punch you in the guts
And I’ll sack the other recruiting knobs and kick Toddy in the nuts
You just wait 'til next year when you go back to the draft
And me and me little GIO come stomping through the door
And we'll say, yeah, you wait for it

Hey Pyke and Woosh you smell his breath
And check his bloodshot eyes
And don't listen to him eagles fans 'cause he tells ****ing lies
He's just a ****ing useless campaigner and he's not even very bright
'Cause the stupid ****in' w***er, forgot me ****in' Sharp

Hey Matty Clarke you campaigner, where the **** is Sharp
I’ve looked at all these other spuds and there’s no one that I like
I wrote you a ****ing letter and posted about it twice
You dopey ****ing Richmond fart, you forgot my ****ing Sharp

It's funny how it interrupted the lyrics XD

 

[Shueygod]

You guys are actual ****ing idiots thinking the draft team miscalculated the points required.

They clearly knew there was a good chance it’d be Lindsay they were taking.

 

[txbyhull]

Can we set the record for those in here: we did not receive anything back from Hawthorn. We gave up Saints F2 to move up 1 pick.

 

[amazingjoshy]

If we really wanted Addinsall, which it appears we really did, cant in any way really defend not bidding on Patterson unless we really really didn't rate him at all and just didn't want to risk it (unlikely)

Just bizarre

 

[WCE_4_EVER]

Stop melting about a future 2nd!!!
You campaigners just melt over anything
Hawks would’ve gone for Lindsay, so we jump in front of them
Also we all thought that Gold Coast wouldn’t match because they wanted Koby Coulson over Beau(obviously eagles did as well)
But it’s fine

 

[eaglevision]

That is such a Geelong pick. Watch him become a star.

 

[LewyBroome]

Geelong do it again, great get

 

[random260]

We burnt a pick in the last farkin uncompromised draft until Tasmania comes in

 

[Keys]

Geez, I'd love Barker

Well you’ve jinxed that nicely

 

[Mop]

Heh heh. Harley Barker from Mt Barker with a dog getting in the huddle. Nice

 

[ghostbat12]

Probably lost around 12 picks difference in 2nd rd in 2026

oh my god. does it really matter given Kenh is likely to get a bid before whatever 2nd rounder was traded. wasn't it saints picks?

 

[happy_eagle]

Dude be optimistic for once. Reid, Elijah, Duursma, CDT, Lindsay, Reuben, Bo + Archer in the last few drafts, plus McCarthy, Maric etc, then bringing in Starc and Young, we will be ok.

Outside of being a first round pick, Bo hasn't shown anything that suggests he belongs in that category.

Hope he comes on, but his first year was pretty uninspiring.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Freo are going to bid on Williams got that feeling about it.

Again have we on Freo ever bid on each others nga’s? Don’t think so.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

The moment of truth

 

[LewyBroome]

Dempsey and Barker on each wing. Crickey!

 

[TwoStriders]

I actually like the Lindsay-pick. McCarthy made such a noticeable difference to our transition out of defence after the MSD. Anything other than Duggan's blind bombs.

 

[Coasters7]

Did we mess up though, or did GC go into deficit to get it done. No info on whether they did have the points originally or not.

Yeah zero transparency on the points is irking me too.

Was there a graphic showing what picks they used to match like there has been in previous years?

It’s so subjective and just assumed that they matched but most of us would like to know how.

 

[Dylan82]

Geelong take H.Barker at 24.

Good pick - campaigners as always.

 

[Mop]

Outside of being a first round pick, Bo hasn't shown anything that suggests he belongs in that category.

Hope he comes on, but his first year was pretty uninspiring.

Mini cops at least half of the blame for that though.

I understand the doubt but it’s not a write off yet

Addinsall will probably leave in 3-4 years when he can't crack the senior side anyway.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Freo going to bid on ison and have us melting for a few minutes

 

[Eastcoasteagle]

Well you’ve jinxed that nicely

Only meant to be one Harley on our list!

 

[ClayB]

While I'd have preferred to keep Saints F2nd, would give it any day of the week for Lindsay over Nairn & co.

 

[bzparkes]

AFL probably slipped 'em a tenner.

 

[Barrybran]

Barker is going to need to grow his hair out if he wants to get a game with the Cats

 

[Seadog]

I don't really give a **** how we got our players. I just hope they are good at the footballs and we improve and win some games.
I'll leave the hair pulling and rending of garments to others.
