Review Winners and losers 2022 draft

[Bald]

Nice try champ but Scully wasn't the priority pick, he was always going to go at #1

Try some other angle, we feel the same way about danster

Quick search says Scully was picked using a priority pick.

Whether you would’ve used your pick on him had you not received the priority pick is irrelevant. The facts are you were granted one and used it on Scully.

I think the point is that the "extra" pick was used on Trengove.

I understand that’s what the poster is getting at, but it’s impossible to say that they definitely would or wouldn’t have picked up Scully regardless. As history is written, the priority pick was used on Scully and their number two pick was used on Trengove. Scully and Trengove were both universally viewed as consensus number one picks.

It really isn't. When it's the first two picks in the draft you take them in order.

This is one of this situations where you don’t necessarily need to have the last word mate. The history books say that Melbourne received a priority pick and they used it on Scully. You can play your game of whataboutism all you like, I prefer to look at facts.

LOL, nice one champ, but Melbourne would have taken Scully without the priority pick.

Good try but no cigar

Would have could have.

You used the priority pick on Scully. You lying and denying that doesn’t change anything.

Just because you want something to be true doesn't make it true

If it helps you sleep at night then go ahead, believe whatever you want, it won't change reality.

lol

yes, okay. but....

 

[Blackhawk42]

So, does everyone still think the Swans went early on Michalanney and Rowston??

They both look very promising and valid 1st round picks/bids to me...

Still think they went early on Vickery, but plenty of time to be proven wrong there.

I'm still wondering what we were thinking there. I guess our next would have invited you to match... still, I think we burnt some draft capital there

 

[Elmer_Judd]

What are everyone's thoughts on Bailey Humphrey ? I thought he showed a lot of class and poise for a young buck against Freo ?

The Suns have a good one there.

Yeah rate him highly. Would've played from the get go if it weren't for injury.

 

[sydney_gws]

Why did he go higher then Phillipou?
I know it's early days for these kids (,although some on the geelong board are very concerned Clarke doesn't look even VFL standard yet).

Honestly not the right person to ask that, I think Humphrey will be a better overall player but Phillipou is going to be an absolute jet too.

If Clark doesn’t make the grade I’m sure the AFL will give the cats a priority pick as compensation…

Or maybe they could trade him to Gold Coast for pick 3 as a salary dump

 

[WestCoast05]

I know every clubs posters rate there own haul in the draft and it still very early days, but to bring in Sheezel wardlaw and brayden george (acl recovery permitting) with our first 3 picks is right up there with what Stkilda did in this draft

I think West Coast's 2022 haul is looking very, very good atm.
Ginbey, Culley, Long all looking good and are b22 already even without injuries.
And I think Hewett will show more than just bursts as he builds that tank.

Don't know the last time we had 2 rising star noms in such a short period.

There's a handful of Debbie Downers and moaners like there are on every team board and in every supporter base. They're not representative.

Geelong, probably because we've had strong teams for most of the last 15 years, have always seemed happy to pick slightly longer-term project players who will be given time to develop, instead of "instant plug and play" types. So having people complain he's not an AFL star after 4 VFL games is a bit silly.

My understanding was that Humphrey was regarded as less of a flight risk than Phillipou. Makes sense to go with a safer option re: retention given the situation at Gold Coast.

Humphrey probably not a flight risk. Poo wants to play in Melbourne or SA.

I think Humphrey is the type of guy you can build the culture of a side around. Really good head on his shoulders (not saying the Poo isn't).

 

[Cleric]

Have to say we hit gold with Max Michaelanny. Won't win the Rising Star, but he's been a jet from game 1.
And the best part? A rabid Crows fan with no flight risk.

There was a reason we bid on the bloke, and a lot of people thought it was a "spite" bid, it wasn't he was well worth the selection. Looks just so composed and always makes the right decision under pressure.
