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

 

[Eastern Rangers]

We don't need these people at the club. The decision makers need go, time to year zero the whole organisation.

Malthouse is right, holding onto mature players strangles a club. Instead of rejuvenating the list we're standing still.

Still many dark days ahead.

 

[hbk2015]

So many draft experts on here, Hilarious. I think we put in a rule "every time you sook about a player not getting picked. If they get delisted, you get banned"

 

[Dylan82]

Carlton taking T.Byrne as a pressure forward at 45.

 

[Elite Pete]

So we have a rookie list spot to fill?

 

[Shuestar13]

Did we?

Don't know.

I'd have retired him but even with the extra spot, how do we know WCE would've matched at that pick?

Godspeed to you. Batten down the hatches, you are in for a wild ride.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

I just want the club to pick who they rated as the best players without locking them into NGA/FS picks.

It appears they did, whether people agree with it or not.

Agree in theory but some of our management with this looming to extend dead end players has markedly reduced our options to raise the floor and potential of the list

 

[Keys]

Whoever pointed out that there’d only been just one WA player taken just dazzlered this draft

 

[Wooshaaaa]

Barnett better win the sandover medal and Cripps better kick 50 goals next year.

 

[ThePuma #9]

Silly list management bites us as expected. Cripps to the rookie list surely a no brainer. Bye Banners.

Thought he looked a good footy player in the WAFL games of his I saw.

You’re a glass half full kind of guy Badger but this is pretty hard to defend isn’t it?

Banfield should have been on our list no questions asked.

We receive three bids on our prospects and lose the two midfielders and take the non damaging small forward. Let that sink in for a moment.

 

[garlic munchers]

Why do the saints love stealing our wa players. I take solace in the fact that they’ve been garbage for decades

Because they know no one is breaking their necks to get back to a the rotting carcass that is this once great club.

Look at our so called brains trust in our draft room, utterly uninspiring.

 

[Obeanie1]

If Clark and co thought last year was bad.

The mismanagement of later pick options and open list spots is a massive fail.

We are watching WA kids and our FS , NGAs being picked off cheap and we can only watch.

Will be interesting to see how Kobe Evans, Banfield and Curtin go.......Wes......

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Here's hoping Sammy Allen and Tylah save the day. Stuffed the Evans and Banfield opportunities.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

So we have a rookie list spot to fill?

Yes 1 cat A & 1 cat B.

 

[Barrybran]

You can’t bitch and moan about the northern Acadamies, when you continually fail to respect and reward your own NGA and Father/Son talent. West Coast is one Wes Wally away from having no one to pick in pre-season/rookie draft.

We've been linked to other names like Krasnadamskis and Lockwood. We just wind up with someone else on the rookie list alongside Walley. Potentially two players seeing as both Banfield and Evans are gone.

 

[Underdog]

Just taking notes...pick inferior talent so fans feel good...

Right...

 

[ziad]

The Saints are a pack of dogs, seriously. Why are they bidding on a F/S in the 40s. Get a life.

I guess, why not. Like us they bid on the best avaiable based on their assessment and general need. Get a life bed wetters.

 

[PepperTom32]

It's all good guys, theres a second Banfield!

 

[Jeremy McLovin]

Next list manager we have needs to be someone who can count, both draft points and list spots.

 

[Lia]

The alternative is Barnett for one more year, and one fewer rookie.

Is Barnett and a rookie really better than Evans and Banfield?

Barnett should have been paid out and delisted imo but the verdict on that one is 12 months away

 

[Keys]

So we have a rookie list spot to fill?

Yes

 

[Shifty1]

I loved Drew, but is this something really worth losing our shit over?

Genuine question. I don't know.

The F/S is definitely part of it. But Charlie was putting in some great performances at the end of the year. Would have loved us to develop him.

 

[Dylan82]

North bidding on K.Coulson at 46.

Suns match because they can manage their prospects.

 

[twce13]

Sam Allen better be a gun

not even that tho.
it was always obvious that there would be draftable talent at our 4th pick given it comes in.

Its just the terrible position we came into the draft with.
Harry barnett, HJ, Cripps, cole.. plenty of options.

ive always been glass half full. but am super disappointed with how this has been handled. foolish or arrogant, probably both.

 

[boondy]

Maybe SGIO is right

 

[Boots73]

Sorry boys
