So his draft year is this year I take it? Always thought it was next year? The date of birth listed says he's 18 so makes sense if it's this year...

Yes if that age is correct he will be in this draft

But he hasn't had a single mention anywhere in the media or any phantom drafts, so I bet that DOB is incorrect

Geelong swap a 2021 3rd round pick (tied to Melbourne) to GCS for their pick 27.

 

There are no rules for Geelong, they can do as they please.

What the [censored] kind of trade is that?

Who is mostly responsible for bringing on all the new sponsors?  Is it Gary Pert? Who else?

Whoever it is is doing a tremendous job in the current climate.

Makes no sense at all from Dwayne. 

However with how redundant the ruck position has become I'd much rather see LJ become a star forward.

Respect the list and good on you for having a go..  No way Petracca is 5th most important player, he is number 1, then Oliver, then May, then Gawn then Ben Brown.

But we all see it differently.

Huge gap after that

I swear I had not seen your post D3.  Amazing haha

So hes training with us...  maybe just for the experience or maybe we are still in with a shot.

No idea how good he is but I'm having serious fantasies about Pickett and Farmer becoming the most exciting small forward combo the league has ever seen.

1. Petracca

Herald sun reporting that North will hold onto pick 2. Given they are thought to be after multiple draft picks it might make their pick 11 more getable. 

Too bad Paul Roos wasn't that smart for us when he gave away pick 2 aka Josh Kelly.

 North doing the right thing.

But didn't you say Trump will end up winning?

Yeah I did.  And he will.

Well to be more accurate he has already won.

I reckon we’ll trade up, especially if we only have 3 picks. 18+28 would get us what?? 13-14 ish

anyone in the know have an idea who we would go for around the pick 14 mark?

Would need to get a pick back in that deal, say something in the 40's.

I'd rather have picks 18 and 28 than just pick 13 or 14.

If 2020 was a full 22 game season, the following players would have kicks 40+ goals: 

Hawkins, Kennedy, Gunston, Dixon. 

So you're saying that it's unacceptable if Weid isn't in the top 4 goalkickers in the league next year? Even though he'll be playing as a second tall with Brown? 

If you look at the second forward for each of the teams those players played on, only Darling was more productive than Weideman. So you're thinking Weid's production will increase when Brown comes into the team, and so much so that he will be one of the top 4 most productive key forwards, even though he will be playing as the second tall option?

And anything less than that is 'not acceptable' ...... ?

If 2020 was a full 22 game season and he played every game, Weid would have kicked approximately 33 goals.

So yes, 40+ goals in 2021 must happen.

Small forward

1.     Blake Coleman (QL) – 181cm, 79kg, plays like: Liam Ryan

 

Coleman is tied to Brisbane’s NGA Academy, however they could potentially pass if a bid came earlier than expected at one of our first rounders where the Lions have a pick shortly after and have other academy prospects to bring in. Nevertheless, It is unlikely the Lions pass on a bid for Coleman, but he has a lot of exciting attributes as a small forward where he could form a damaging partnership with Kozzy. Coleman is deadly at ground level, he appears a lot quicker than his 3.072 seconds 20m sprint, he is an incredibly smart crumber and is capable of kicking those incredible goals. He also has incredible agility, is a great kick with ball in hand and a great decision maker where he also has the long handball skills to open teammates into space. Coleman’s point of difference is he’s just as damaging in the air as he is on ground level, he is a really strong 1v1 and even contested mark, and is clever at deciding whether to go fly for a mark or stay down for the crumb. Coleman also applies relentless forward pressure where he uses his speed at ground level. Coleman just has to work on his endurance and four quarter consistency but he has all the tools to be a really dangerous small forward. Coleman is best utilised close to goal and would be the perfect small forward to partner Kozzy if the Lions didn’t match a bid.

 

 

Another kid who would be perfect for us but will instead go to a top 4 team under the ridiculous academy rules.

The AFL draft - the worst draft in world sports.

I see zombie Biden just fractured his foot playing with his dog......  lol.  Would love to know the real story.

Imagine thinking this guy got 80 million legitimate votes.

For the first time since 2004, where I predicted Melbourne taking Matthew Bate and Jordan Russell, I've decided to post a return of the Goodoil Phantom Draft.  Here is the first round, with the rest to follow next week. It includes bids and trades to add a bit of silliness to it.

 

1.  Adelaide Crows - Riley Thilthope - 18, 201cm 102kg - West Adelaide

 

The Crows are in an interesting spot.  Thilthorpe, the local product, makes a lot of sense, but taking him at one doesn't necessarily juice the most value from the pick.  Trading down is a possibility but if they do that they will want to position themselves to get extra draft material and still get Thilthorpe, which would probably require another trade back up with a third party and it could start getting messy.  Trading one pick back with North, who could then facilitate another trade for themselves is a possibility, but in the end just straight up taking Thilthorpe, who is a promising South Australian ruck/forward ends up the pragmatic thing to do.  He has Matthew Kreuzer-like ruck potential but also good forward craft in a strong athletic frame that could cause AFL defenders problems for a long time.   Number one draft picks get financial perks and it would be a strange decision if the Crows bid on Ugle-Hagan and denied their own player those benefits just to hinder the Western Bulldogs by 300 draft pick points.

 

 

The Crows actually have a really good ruckman in Reilly O'Brien, so they would be be able to ease in Thilthope through the forward line like we are doing with LJ.

Could be a very astute pick.

Let me guess, the Bombers are cheating again?

If we had a better coach we would have played finals 2017, 2018 and 2020... and maybe 2016.  

 Shame we are being held back.

FMD. The warmonger who bombed Syria on a false claim that the Syrians used Chemical weapons, who chose to keep his invasion troops near the oil fields so they could  steal what this [censored] called 'our oil' the same Pres who still has troops in Afghanistan,  the same Pres who continued to supply endless weapons of mass destruction to Saudi Arabia while it raped Yemen. We won't mention this Kushner-led imbecile condoning Israel  making Jerusalem its capital. 

Trump isn't a warmonger or anything resembling one.

Yep, unfortunately, Biden and Co will probably be even worse on that front. Witness Obama's rape of Libya and attempted rape of Syria.

This is true.

Less than 40 goals is not acceptable next season for Weid if he plays 18+ games.

Time to shine.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!   I knew that gag would get a bite from you, P2J.

What I can't quite decide is if you are the immature, gullible schoolboy who has fallen for the cult of Trump and won't recognise reality as reflected in your preposterous comments or whether you are just a troll playing the long game.

I am just a guy who hates war.  

I have been waiting all my life for an anti war, non interventionist US president and he came along in all his orange glory.

Cant wait for his 2nd term.

Has Biden conceded yet?
