2022 Draft Thread

[King Kong]

I don’t know about others, but I like to have a list of possibles, which I cross out as they get selected on the way to our pick(s). Obviously a bit harder this year with 26 picks (more or less) before we get our go, but here’s my list of ten that we might target and could be available at one or both our picks:
Lemmey
Binns
Scully
Phillips
Knobel
Foster
Dowling
Van Es
Drury
Teal

Anyone I’ve missed?

Gilbey
Gilbee
Hagan
Long
Munkara
Sybkowski

No matter what happens tonight, I think we can all agree we need more players with homemade leg tattoos.

Good point.... Can we ask the AFL if George's contract can be split 50/50... half playing.....
half Tattoo Development Coach?

 

[Redford]

Interest in MacDonald, Binns and Drury apparently.

I won't be happy if we don't get some tall timber in to develop.

No flankers or hyphens this year

There is an argument that you are better off letting other clubs take big guys because of the time they take to develop, then picking them off once they hit the sweet spot of 23-25 years old.

When you look at the track of Nankervis, Lynch, CCJ and Chol there's something to it.

Do you reckon Keeler passes the competitor test? I'd take him but I wonder if Matt Clarke feels the same way.

Do you mean intensity and physical impact in their game Bully?

 

[Tigers of Old]

I can't believe we didn't pick X.

Yes, my SA sources tell me he's a coaster, blessed with natural talent but not one to assert himself and truly dominate.

 

[Rfc4Ever]

I can't believe we didn't pick X.

No doubt we will be surprised x player lasted to our x pick

 

[Redford]

Yep. The Gruz it is.

 

[Redford]

Bid Eagles. Bid.

I think there's merit but you are also competing with 17 clubs, no point paying stupid amounts on guys like McStay, I'd rather recruit them like Francis Jackson did and then sell them if need be.

Cheers Bully.

Fair point, but with can't rely on that only through what if that doesn't happen at least you got something developing in the vfl.

 

[Redford]

And that’s why Melbourne wanted to trade up to GWS’s pick. Good chance that was them on the phone to Caruso.

 

[TigerForce]

No flankers or hyphens this year

There's 11 hypheners to pick.

 

[Redford]

Dildo-ro can’t wipe the smile off his face.

 

[TigerForce]

Nerves for whoever becomes the next Bummer...

Hayes doesn't look too happy....everyone's crying.

OK Sarah, we don't need an hour Bummer fans talk.
