BAMF

I'm sure the clubs would use their last picks to do this not their first.

So happy with the way it's turned out. I was surprised how relieved I was once we picked JVR. I really wanted a KPF in this draft and am happy we picked up one earlier rather than later. No way did I think Howes would be available at pick 39. We were linked to him in most phantom drafts at pick 19. Very glad we picked a taller midfielder with versatility. Adding Woewodin with our last pick is just the icing on the cake. This kid has gone from a potential rookie to a really promising talent in the last 12 months. His old man got the best out of himself and it seems Taj has the same attitude. No limits on this kid now he is in the system. He could be the best of the lot. A developing ruck is the last thing on my shopping list, but with the ruck merry go round that happens each year its not critical need.

200cm+ ruck please!

Not a bad effort. Mine still hasn't arrived and I ordered it the day after the final.

Lol! I watched this part on repeat many times and grinned. In the week leading up to the final Matthew Llyod said we would need to use Langdon to tag Bailey Smith as he was the only one who could keep up with him. It made me [censored] angry that the media had no [censored] idea. Why the [censored] would we waste Langdon like that? Had he not seen the games this year where teams would switch the play to avoid Langdons wing?

Pretty sure he just had the one older brother?

Surely you have blind faith in JT like the rest of us do at this point? They were tipped to go higher. They didn't. There is likely a reason for it. JT saw them on the board and said no. That's all I need to know.

Posted in another thread, but will repeat here. 2022 picks. Round 1 - 0 picks (Traded to Crows) Round 2 - 1 pick (Demons) Round 3 - 2 picks (Demons, Crows) Round 4 - 2 picks (Demons, Saints)

Because Jason Taylor didn't rate them.

1st round - 0 (Traded to Adelaide) 2nd round - 1 (Our pick) 3rd round - 2 (Our pick and Adelaides) 4th round - 2 (Our pick and Saints)

I dont think we know yet. We were so heavily linked to Howes, that I would like to think that it was for him. Hopefully JT lets us know in a post draft interview.

Can you panic a little bit more please? Dont worry about the pick. We have one. The AFL coverage is rubbish. It doesnt bother updating the pick numbers.

You have as many picks as you have list spots. We still have one spot left. Therefore we still have a pick.

Do we know what the trade was? Were we using pick 39 along with another pick to move up to 35? Or were we just trying to get 35 to go with 39?

Not yet mate. Will likely use our last pick on him. (Or will we??!?!)

Nice. It should be an early third so should be around the same spot. Hopefully we can use it next year to a club needing points to combine our third rounders to move up.

Hell yes! The player we were linked to at pick 17.

Surely we take Howes.

I gave up on the Fox coverage a few years ago. At least Cal Twomey knows who the kids are. If you are frustrated then maybe check out the AFL.com.au coverage. Howes still on the board at pick 36.. feeling like i am going to be super disappointed here for him to get so close.

Any idea what our flexibility is here? I.e. if we get to pick 42 and Taj has not been bid on, are we free to use the pick on another kid? If so, what happens if another club bid on Taj after pick 50? There must be some point where they automatically get to be rookies?

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.

Hoping for Conway.

Is it wishful thinking to hope that Conway slides to our 2nd pick?

Super happy that we have picked up a tall forward 😀

Is this write up about Brown or Wimot? Thanks for the inside word dazzle.
