Yes that’s why we hate them. Especially grabbing Macrae. Was hoping he might slide to us.

Knightmare must have fallen asleep at the end. Yes Isiah Winder stays in WA at the Eagles. I think the brackets are his prediction at where they would be drafted.

With Bowey, Laurie and Rosman added thats means we have 36 primary and 5 rookie (incl Bradtke as a cat B). Further additions? 1 on primary list and 1 on rookie list??

Glad to see Wehr get drafted to the Giants. He improved year on year at SA Eagles with his elite skills being recognised.

Ford and Winder now gone. Thought we might have stole one with our last pick.

It’s a lottery.

Yes. Two small skilled forwards.

Small forward. Skilled. Evasive.

Small forward. Skilled. Skinny.

No comparisons to Sam Blease just yet !!?!?!?

Wow. Cook and Carroll and we passed up both !!! JT loves to surprise. No bid ?? Gulden, Mcinnes, Coleman

Wow. Cook or Macrae or Carroll or Laurie

yes it’s looking promising!!

Yes I think so. And we gave up ...?

more exciting than the draft at this stage of the night

?crows choose mcinnes!

“Easton” Wood was the start of the move away from John, Jack and David.

Only had the last 2 months to decide !!

Plover stories now !!!

Interesting to see if any delisted players get picked up. Could be nil or perhaps one or two but unlikely to any more than that. DFAs may come up in rookie or SSP summer time draft.

There must be a hundred young men just going nuts right now. The anxiety must be driving them crazy. Get the “show on the road” sometime !

Assume we have Brown, Nietschke, Jordan, Chandler and Bradtke (cat B) as existing rookies. I believe we have up to 6 rookie spots to be filled, with salary cap concessions. (Not 100% sure). I think we might pass on rookie draft and keep a spot upon for a SSP rookie after summer training. We might invite 2-3 players or delisted players as “train on” players over the next 6-8 weeks and then pick the last “rookie “.

That’s Archie Perkins, Finlay Macrae, Brayden Cook (all likely to be gone though unless we trade up picks somehow), Errol Gulden <swans>, Jack Carroll, Caleb Poulter, Bailey Laurie , Connor Stone, Ryan Angwin, Jake Bowey.

Fair call @dazzledavey36. Like so many Vic kids this year, Kobi didn’t get on the park this year. I saw him in a game in 2019 for the Stingrays and he has an excellent sidestep, skilled left foot disposal and moved at pace with ease. I was optimistic which is something as Dees fans that we have to hold onto. I think he’d be one to put on at Casey in the squad or hopefully play for Stingrays as a 19yo in 2021. Will Bravo was another kid out of the Stingrays that showed real pace and goal sense. He’s another that might go late/rookie or be in the Casey/Stingrays group for 2021.
