2020 AFL Draft

Feel for the kids that missed out. Only 50 odd kids picked this year
A few of them will be picked up Sydney Stack-style or Marion Pickett-style over the next few months.

Next year‘s draft will have a much larger cohort. You can’t blame clubs for choosing to not throw money at 18 year olds who have missed a whole season.

The bloke at fox who was in charge of matching the kids who "plays like" has destroyed about 20 of them.
One "plays like" Tomlinson
Another "plays like" Corbett
And just now another "plays like' Christian Salem

Yep there's gonna be alot of 18/19 year olds running around in the state leagues.
Won't there be less with the NAB league raised to 19. Even though less picks overall this year than normal, nowhere near as many as a year full of kids from 18 to 19 going around again the NAB league.

5 minutes to pick has something to do with it.

Clubs should be ready.
Gilligan needs to stop the trading while your selection is on and clubs should only have 2 minutes to make a selection.
West coast had 3 hours to make their first selection and still used up the 5 minute's.

They have destroyed the draft.
Draft night was on of the highlights of the season

True. Now winning the flag is the highlight.

I’m a little more excited then usual tonight. Not only did Richmond nab another Rioli but a close family friend (who was looking at borderline for tonight or the rookie draft, gets selected by the Pies in the 2nd round. Absolutely wrapt for the kid.

So you saying Pies drafted a dud with a second round pick? Puts a smile on my face as well!

good luck to the kid though disco.

I agree cap'n

I read an article the other day (didnt check the authorship, but its safe to assume it was Matthew Lloyd), debating the greatest pick no.1 ever, and they discussed Andrew McGrath :rotfl2

unrelated to Dodoro, but I was thinking about the '09 draft yesterday without realising it.

my heart rate increased, and that when I realised I was thinking about it.

Remember swans tried real hard to swap us maybe pick 6 and 10 for pick 3,

so they could take Dusty?

as a sliding door moment, that's about as big as it gets in a Richmond persons life.

Would it have been Francis Jackson who laughed maniacally and told the Swans to get *smile* between fits?

I'd forgotten that chapter, Easy. We certainly pulled the right rein that day. Not before time.

The scariest list in development is the Sun's. Gee they are getting some kind of midfield together!!!

So reckon we take 1 in the rookie draft tomorrow. One of Jackson Callow, Kaine Baldwin, Liam Kolar or Josh Treacy would be good for us.
