2023 Draft Thread.
- Thread starter Scoop
- Start date
I should clarify this, I would've gone a different way but we filled needs. I would've filled them with Simpson and Murphy but again, we filled needs and built draft capital next year. I bleated on about not being unhappy about having limited capital in this draft and giving those in charge a semi free pass so I can't go for their throat now. And there is a strategy, we bulked up capital in a draft that is already being talked about as being MID heavy. You can't judge this year's draft nor the Hopper and Tarranto trades until we land next year. That's the challenge but you can see the strategy a lot clearer now.

Clubs tonight made clear their frustrations with the academy system and its flaws. Changes coming.

I think Kynan Brown can be immediately added to Melbournes list in the RD, no bidding needed.
What are your thoughts on Callinan and Sanchez? I reckon we need to continue to build up our small forward stocks, by my reckoning we only have Mansell, Coulthard, MRJ and Campbell and there are question marks over all of them. I'd be happy to add 1 of these 2 to our list. (I've regarded Juddy as a mid / fwd rather than as a small fwd).

At the other end of the scale.Curtin has that i'm heading back home asap about him.
I disagree. He has his flaws sure, every recruit is a star in the making and he waffles-on, but there are kernels of wisdom in there, and I like his positivity and enthusiasm. And yes he's a bit boring, but does everything have to be super exciting all the time? Maybe I'm getting old.
Nothing like the AFL to change something once Richmond work out how to benefit from it. Next year there will be no trading of junk picks for points or something like that.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
You're half right. This year will forever be looked back upon as the year the stars aligned for the Suns, they milked a flawed loophole-ridden system to get 4 gun players for free. A bit like North and the 10 year rule.
The system will still have the same method and intent, it just won't be the total free ride it is at the moment. For example whats her name AFL deputy has already flagged a change will be a club must use a pick in the same round as where the bid comes. So rather than trading pick 4 for 28, 35, 40, 42 or whatever, it will be 4 for 17, and some junk picks. This will mean junk picks will still have value, maybe not as much, and would also mean this years fiasco would never be repeated. They either just wouldn't be able to get the picks to get more than 2, or if they did would have to pay-up big time.
noooooooo, move Shifter on & the flogs would probably replace him with Brian *smile* Taylor or Garry Lyon the *smile*
Cal Twomey or his idiot sidekick, thats who they would bring in. Nobody wants that.
