Tonight’s Draft - The First Crack

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,685]

We need a Development Ruckman on our books with the Bradtke experiment coming to an end.

Cringeworth listening to Brad Johnson and King with their 'expert' commentary 

[Lucifers Hero 39,598]

Can't believe Blake Howes is still on the board, along with other top 20 faves: Butler, Sonsie, Johnson, Goater.

Very boring night regarding live-pick trades.

Perhaps we should look at some tall bloke that works at a pizza place and smokes a few durries on the side?  Last one of those we drafted turned out all right!

Elite indicators apparently.  Don't know why they don't include those activities at draft camp?

Great get for this club.

Big physical 195cm 88kg key forward who has also played down back. Had some insane numbers in the back end of the year in the colts level as a noted goal kicker.

Welcome Jacob.

Future replacement for Steve May in a few years when he fills out a bit more potentially?

Or even Tommy Mac/BBB?

Hoping all the aforementioned have a fair few more quality seasons left in them yet, but given the reality of how long it take most big men to mature, I see this as some pretty schrude succession planning by the club to get an elite big man on board and start developing him.

King ... what a moron.

From recollection he picked the Dogs to win the GF because Goodwin would be coaching from boundary. And to think he gets paid big bucks to trot out that drivel.

and Tigers have 3 picks coming in the next 9, they could replenish very nicely

well I'll have a crack at JT's needs basis for tonight, it's between Jacob Van Rooyen and Blake Howes for mine. FFWD or a hybrid forward of the Gunstan mould. Tomorrow night might throw up Toby Conway or Jack Williams Ruck vs FFWD/ruck. Then Taj, keep the other pick for a train on or Andy MW as a Cat B rookie.

Good call.

Geelong also in a good spot as they have:  24, 25, 32, 34 and 36 so they could plug their age gap quite quickly especially with this being a very even draft in that 20 to 40 range.

Richmond has 28, 29 and 30.  

Hawthorn also in a good spot with 23 and 26 but their list is a bit of a mess so unlikely to make much impact for a few years.

Has anyone found an updated draft order listing?

Still can't see one on the AFL website...

My guess is we now have picks 38, 42 and 50 which will become 49 after Saints match an NGA bid for Owens. 

Some good value there.

A good year to have a bunch of picks in this range.

Thinking that Richmond and Geelong could both use a young ruck which may make Conway out of our reach.

Will be interested to see who will get with 38.

Snap!  Just made the same comment in the 'pick 38' thread.

Also really not looking forward to all the ‘swooping’ and ‘pouncing’ when clubs are reported on for their selections.

Silly me I forgot about the ‘snubbing’ , ‘snaring’ and the ‘snapping up’
