Draft prospects 2019

[TigerMasochist]

The beauty of it all is that after winning premierships we have not neglected the draft
2017
Higgins , Balta , Coleman-Jones , Naish , Baker
2018
RCD , Ross , Turner , English , Stack , Pickett
2019
#19 - #38 - #39 - #41 - #56 + 1 Rookie Selection

Thats 18 new young players since winning the 2017 premiership as well as adding Tom Lynch


Rebuilding whilst winning flags

Best thing is that eight of those eleven picks from 2017 / 2018 drafts have already played some senior footy, six of them seriously meaningful game time. Reckon that wouldn't be happening to often with a side that's just won two flags n played a prelim in between.
Most sides performing to that level would normally have a very settled senior squad with just occasional cameo games from the newbies.

He sends *smile* pics to young girls?

Well we cocked that up didn't he

I'm sure that the current AFL executives meant for the AFL Draft to be more exciting with the current format but for me at least it's the polar opposite.
Overly complicated yawn fest that it NOT entertainment. I miss the high energy days in the PRE chat room where it was run so quickly you could barely catch up with it.
They have absolutely killed it.

A simple comparison is players used - it can be misleading but its a good quick indicator.

In 2019 we had 38 players who played at least 1 match.
Melb and Saints the most with 39, while GWS also had 38.
Geelong, West Coast and Dogs had 34, Brissy 35.

Shows that we have given exposure and experience to almost our entire list.

Richmond looking to trade #19 to a later pick , Possibly Geelong #24 or North #27

It is painfully tedious.

It's absolutely a wank. Marketeers who have no freaking idea what they are doing. Just see if we can make it more American is their whole purpose.

 

[WesternTiger]

I could be wrong but in the past hasn’t Gill acknowledged the reigning premier in his speech as this is the first formal AFL even since the GF?

 

[ToraToraTora]

Why does Gil have to walk out on stage after every pick? Why is the venue so small? Where are the clubs? Wtf is going on?

 

[mrposhman]

Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow, Freo have already chosen their pick, all sitting back, not talking yet 2 and a half minutes on the clock so we have to wait 2 and a half minutes to hear crap to fill the time, yawnnnnnnn

 

[mrposhman]

Do we really care if these players can cook, OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

 

[King Kong]

Humprey or Fat Cat would be more entertaining calling the picks than Gill

 

[King Kong]

Is Johnson awake? Does he even know what the draft is?

Who is Johnson?

It's probably people watching it on Foxtel - Brad Johnston, ex-Bulldogs player now media commentator?

Cartoon playing funny buggers; traded pick 9 for 17 and 22. The latter pick right after us as it stands. Also Twomey's Phantom draft pretty accurate except for Swans taking D.Stephens early, gazuumping Cartoon's supposed preference. All going well.

[tigermouseau]

Cartoon now have pick 20 - so who do they want before us.

 

[Timmy99]

Lol who cares. We’ll still pick a better player.

I don't know, but we've spooked them again.
