2021 Draft Thread

[Spirit of Jack]

Apparently we were surprised that Brown was still available...even though he was seen as a second round pick

 

[eZyT]

A 184 outside half back flanker in the first round, given our list profile

seems an extraordinary decision.

is it a succession plan for Jayden Short?

Im stunned.

 

[Mr T.]

Traffi

Whole website has *smile* itself with the traffic.

Traffic is massive right now. I’m having trouble getting on. 250 hits per second apparently.

 

[Mycotchinrules]

Half the footy club is in the room, and nobody reckons we need some help in the midfield?!

Strange, strange decision

 

[jb03]

Surprised we are taking junior defenders. Best defenders are players that get squeezed out of the midfield.

 

[bullus_hit]

Where is @bullus_hit ? Get on the phone to Blair to trade up for Johnson!

This is the play that could make this draft, we have gone in an unorthdox manner with a premium flanker, I didn't see that coming, but if Johnson completes the deal then it's A class ceilings across the board. I would package 26 & 27 together at this point.

 

[Carter]

The flood is on in 2022

We polishing the Lamborghini (our back six) and the rest be damned

 

[Dev Tiger]

I think a half back flanker is the last thing we needed. Really disappointed with Brown.

 

[Obelix]

I thought our main focus was on mids. Baffled by Brown.

My only thought is that maybe we've committed to pushing Baker and Stacky to the forward line for the long-term - plus we gotta replace bachar.

Clsss

Did anyone want a 184 halfback flanker in the first round?

Classic Clarke. Always something weird.

 

[FitenFitenWin]

Doubling down on game style. Win the ball on turn-over, not at the coal face.

 

[Scoop]

If we get two of Johnson, Butler or Sonsie it’s genius. If not…..

 

[Carter]

Our midfield and forward line will be filled with mercenaries

 

[Spirit of Jack]

I didn't even look into the small defenders - we are well and truly covered in that space - maybe see him as a winger?

 

[daniel30]

Hard at it great skills love this pick exactly what we need to drive out of the backline don't say Short has it only Houli did the creator type.

 

[Jason King]

Firmly believe you dont use high picks on defenders or kpfs. You steal them from other clubs. We needed Hobbs and its going to come back and bite us I reckon.

 

[artball]

the kid - Brown - is meant to be a pretty handy footballer ... and tough ... and now a Tiger

 

[tigerman]

Crazy idea. Are we moving Vlastuin to the midfield?

No, Stack I hope.

 

[footballmonk]

Next ten players (not including academy ones) could be:
Johnson, Sonsie, Goater, Draper, Taylor, Butler, McDonald, Bazzo, Knevitt, Howes.

Three of them and we’re doing pretty well. Conway and Motlop will probably be in that range too.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Who is Tom Brown?

Why have we drafted that *smile* from Ch7?
