Behind the Draft 2020

[dazzledavey36 49,149]

Melbourne are releasing a behind the scenes footage on last year's draft. Sorta similar to last year?

Can't wait to watch it!

 

[dazzledavey36 49,149]

@dazzledavey36....Dazzle...we saw how the team agonised over Rosman or Carroll....what are your thoughts given your knowledge of the underage players?

sounds like we were pretty set on bowey and laurie, and the decision behind carroll or rosman was line ball

[DistrACTION Jackson 6,511]

They went high risk high reward with Rosman.

Given some of the training reports it could pay off big time, but a long way to go.

Love the conviction with Laurie and Bowey and I think both will play a bit this season. I'd see Bowey more half back/wing to start and I think Laurie and Pickett forward will be very dangerous.

[deelusions from afar 1,619]

Some really interesting insights from that which is surprising given they only show you what they want to show you.

Seems like we would have picked Holmes if he was not taken ahead of us.

But as Taylor said (multiple times) - we've got the 2 best kicks and decision makers in the draft in Bowey and Laurie.  Also said "they like footy more than anyone else - probably why they don't make mistakes"

I'd heard Bowey talked about as a halfback, small forward and winger.  Interestingly Taylor indicated he noticed some Sam Mitchell type qualities in Laurie too.

Happy days we got one! Thought they must have given it a miss this year

Shows how the AFL dragged it out.  Submitted Bowey and Laurie at the same time, then it was all strung out.

I see Carroll ended up going as pick 41 to Carlton.

Carroll's from WA, so selecting a Victorian in Rosman at least negates any potential "go home" factor with that pick.

Who!

[Dannyz 2,335]

Goody seemed very sceptical about both Bowie & Laurie.

And also very glum, as has been pointed out quite a few times in the past 4 months or so.

Good to say nothing as we were taught in the Old Days it's best to not say Anything if you don't have aany thing good to say at all  !!!

Other than the fact that Fraser is doing everything right to gain the wing position opposite Langers in Round1.

I found this really interesting. Goody did not seem enthused at all, I'm guessing due to their size, and had to be reassured on their quality. Its good to know that the recruiters aren't easily over ridden though and their research and opinion are respected.

Also compared to last year it seems we weren't interested in trading up for any players in particular, although perhaps they just didnt include the footage to keep that intel in house.

[BDA 20,541]

The recruiters should have final say. Goody might not be around too much longer so he shouldn’t be making the end decision.

[McQueen 17,864]

Just watched and I can get the sentiments around Goodwin's reactions. Even Tim Lamb having to give him a shoulder rub at the end?

Maybe he was annoyed we traded our 2021 first rounder to Brisbane and still missed out on the guy we targeted, Max Holmes.

[Dr.D 1,771]

no idea what you guys are on about. Goodwin openly said that he hadn't seen Jack Carroll even play. At no point did he even mention anything about wanting a certain player or not wanting a certain player. But if your'e the head coach I think it's fair enough to want to be 'in the discussion' when your club is making it's biggest decision of the year.  

I hate Goodwin more than anyone but he's done nothing wrong here. You do get a snapshot of what Goodwin is like though. How does this guy motivate anyone to play afl football? The answer is..he doesn't.

Jason Taylor has been on record to say that we weren't as interested as the media made out to be on Max Holmes.

Laurie and Bowey were always first choice .

First track reports on players skill is like dancing with your sister. Wait till the real games start to see if someone has improved.

You need to lighten up 58er for God sake it is a game, if you cannot have a little humour about a game when can you ?

"I know its one of your things Goody but they love their footy, that's why they're so good and don't make mistakes"

" We got the two best kicks. And the two best decision makers"

"Could be a Sam Mitchel type"

I love this fly on the wall stuff. Great insight

They cut out the bits where SG said “you blokes are clueless f*ing morons”. 
I’ll be lucky to see past mid season with these classy midgets in my team, I only want ball hungry  hacks”. 
“FMD, Taylor! You should cop a bullet before me!”

Without wanting to speculate too much, pretty sure he had a bit going on, on the home front around that time...could explain a few things.
