Draft Night Discussion

[Geddy Lee 582]

Dayle Garlett would have been a good pick at pick 12. What the hell is going on.

He is a [censored] obviously.

Dayle Garlett would have been a good pick at pick 12. What the hell is going on.

Clearly there is an issue with Gartlett wouldn't you say?

Even the eagles and Fremantle have shown no interest

[red and blue forever 1,059]

Dean Terlich?????

[DemonDave 1,096]

Dean Terlich?????

22year old from Norwood, previously Swans listed player...

[Nasher 33,617]

Two grownups with our last two picks. Jones is 25 and Terlich 23 (or will be by the time the season starts). I'd say the strategy there is fairly obvious.

[red and blue forever 1,059]

so we will not use pick 3 in PSD...

[Nasher 33,617]

so we will not use pick 3 in PSD...

Yes that's correct. No vacancies.

Probably most interesting thing to come out of the night. That we rate guys like Jones and Terlich above the potentials there says something.

So it's over now.

People who know stuff: any surprises? Anyone overlooked, or slid a long way?

[dees189227 12,441]

This may be a dumb question. But I thought we had pick 88. Didnt we get it back off west coast.

[jnrmac 20,207]

Wouldn't we have been better off to pass on the last one and use the #3 pick. That way we could have taken our time to sort through everything that is available??

[BIG JIM 508]

SO HAPPY

TOUMPAS,VINEY,HOGAN = CHECK MATE

[Nasher 33,617]

We traded it for Rodan and our list was full by then anyway.

Hahah, I don't really know much, but I'll give it a crack.

Dayle Garlett was obviously seen as too big a risk by clubs.

Sam Colquhoun was a little suprising that he didn't get picked up.

Jason Pongracic was another player that some people mentioned as likely to be picked up.

SEN mentioned that clubs in this day and age just can't afford going for some of these players that are seen as a risk to their profile (sponsorship etc) where a 5-10 years ago these players would just have been picked on their game, not the whole package (if that makes sense).

Because we knew who we wanted in advance and the player we wanted was still there?

[dees189227 12,441]

Todd on sen now

[Bonkers 994]

Menzel went to Carlton at 11.

Cheers

[FC Melbourne 108]

Ask Freak.

Didn't Yze_Magic come close?

[jnrmac 20,207]

gee thanks

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Best time of the year, every player sounds like a champion on paper and in a two minute YouTube highlights package!

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Todd on sen now

Quick summary, please??

[Nasher 33,617]

gee thanks

I thought the answer to your question was obvious, I'm sorry if that offends you.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,288]

Personally I liked the idea of big body Wines. Plus I thought his connection to the Viney's was a bonus. However, recent reading plus an interview where I saw the humility and commonsense of Toumpas changed my mind. I wish both these boys long and injury free careers - so long as Jimmy's is better!

[Gippsland Dee 367]

Wasn't Colquhoun supposed to be late 1st early 2nd round?

I'm amazed he didn't get picked up!

Garlett must have attitude problems to not get picked up. He was expected to be 1st or 2nd round like Colquhoun too wasn't he?

[picket fence 17,742]

Quick summary, please??

I'll give you a quick summary ...

Shattered !!!
