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

 

[garlic munchers]

Always expected to match Tylah and glad we did. The mistake was not having enough positions and picking this Allen who cost us one of Evans/Banfield.

Tylah will never make it.

Same basket as Champion.

 

[Boohemian]

Did you guys run out of list spots or just not rate Banfield?

**** off

 

[FKASC]

Wes Walley

Yeah but we will still have some unused slots even if we take him right? Plus we don’t know if he’ll be bid on yet

 

[Lyyynnnchy]

oh no, hidden superstars that no-one knows about except a couple on this board.

No ones saying that

It’s, why are we keeping Cripps and Barnett over getting some fresh blood in?

 

[Keys]

Did you guys run out of list spots or just not rate Banfield?

Ran out of spots

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I like it. recruiters went with who they felt was best. thats it.

Barnett and Cripps for a single season?

 

[WCEswift]

Did you guys run out of list spots or just not rate Banfield?

Not wise to be here atm

 

[new breed]

Koby Evans wont be playing seniors for Brissy in 2026 , going to be tough breaking into the Brisbane side anytime soon .
Not ideal .
Same with Cody Curtin .
Gotta be reasonable to offer their draftees best opportunity to play AFL , ...

 

[footy_basis]

Ok without reading anyone elses reaction yet....

Losing Evans and Banfield seriously caps this draft period off as a legit disaster.

Not happy at all. Would rather let Williams go.

Are we going to out up with this crap for another year

 

[steve hucka]

We are an absolute laughing stock

 

[HoneyBadger35]

A historically bad club having a list squeeze is absolutely laughable.

It both is and isn’t.

To not be able to find one or two more is poor management, but when so much of the list is on their rookie or first default extension, and we’ve culled so many in the last two to three years, there’s only so many guys.

 

[Dylan82]

Did you guys run out of list spots or just not rate Banfield?

We have numptys running the show and they fckd up the number of list spots we have available.

Take care of Banfield.

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Apologise profusely to Banfield citing poor list management, which is the truth.

Let Saints develop Banfield.

If Charlie is developing well, draft Harper and get Charlie back through the PSD.

 

[Doashuey]

Maybe SGIO is right

Tis the darkest hour...

 

[Altum Volantes]

What a bunch of miserable kents.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

What? We have 8 players left from 4 years ago.

Yes but most of them are crap and wouldn’t make the best 22 anywhere else.

 

[Mop]

oh no, hidden superstars that no-one knows about except a couple on this board.

The issue isn’t hidden superstars, the issue is not using painfully obvious mechanisms to take our own developed talent - be it NGA or F/S.

Evans being let go doesn’t bother me so much, I felt the writing was on the wall.
Banfield does. I liked what he did in the WAFL

 

[boondy]

Not his fault the club the club is weak as piss

Im not blaming Sam Allen but him being a gun will be the only thing that saves our new recruiting team . We look like rank amateurs

 

[bzparkes]

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

Well, he won mark of the year this year.

Baby steps.

 

[Yeahnahmate]

im hoping don pyke is looking around the room thinking WTF is this.

He was with the Addinsall maths not mathing but holy hell this is another level of stupid. Our best draft ever (genuinely happy with Duursma / CDT / Lindsay) and we still find a way to cook the back end

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Koby Evans wont be playing seniors for Brissy in 2026 , going to be tough breaking into the Brisbane side anytime soon .
Not ideal .

Get him for free Dev style?

 

[Dylan82]

J.Ison bid slides through to 47, Blues will be stoked with that.

 

[ziad]

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.

His performances were in a weak development comp compared to those generally taken in the top 20 or so. It is the reality.

 

[twce13]

A historically bad club having a list squeeze is absolutely laughable.

with 4 additional rookie spots LMAO

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

what happened that needs an investigation? we picked players we rated with those picks. you mean they need an investigation into why obese keyboard warriors are not listened to and consulted first.

I like it. recruiters went with who they felt was best. thats it.

Why Barnett, Johnston, Bazzo etc are still contracted. Why Cripps wasn't rookie listed.
We hand out premature contract extensions like Oprah Winfrey.
