Draft picks 2019

[Jonesracing82]

Has live trading turned the draft into another corrupted AFL racket? Just seems ludicrous.

That & the Academy bidding system

After checking the highlights...ball smarts, pace, spectacular goalkicking....and one absolutely ferocious tackler.

Sounds great. But who?

 

[ToraToraTora]

Cumberlands highlights are pretty awesome. as has been said....chaos baby.

 

[TigerForce]

Bigoa Nyuon - ruck.

 

[Jonesracing82]

we have traded our next pick 45 to Pies, for their 46, and a 2020 R2 swap. We clearly think Pies are doomed in 2020.

Didn't need another reason to barrack for Collingwood losses but here it is anyway #gotiges!

 

[ToraToraTora]

we have bid on StK academt player Nyuon, sudanese tall

 

[mrposhman]

Bid kings tonight aren't we

 

[ToraToraTora]

StK pass. Well,....we have pulled out some rabbits thats for sure.

 

[TigerForce]

Multicultural team we are. Cholly will be happy with a paesano at the club.

Finally picked a tall.

 

[MorrisMinor]

A member of St Kilda’s Next Generation Academy, Nyuon is an athlete who has testing results to be believed. A hard worker with some great goal celebrations to boot, Nyuon recorded a 92cm running and 73cm standing vertical leap, as well as a 2.86-second 20m sprint and 8.24-second agility test. Keeping in mind he is a 195cm ruck. A raw talent, he has to improve his tank, but is an excitement machine. With his elite athleticism and ability to have big moments in games – such as kicking two goals in the final quarter of the knockout Wildcard Round against Murray Bushrangers, Nyuon has shown in glimpses what he is capable of. A long-term prospect who the Saints would have to be considering as a rookie, Nyuon is a hard worker who is hard to bring down and is likely to be a player that will need patience to fully develop, but very few can do what he can in terms of his size and athleticism.

 

[leon]

No doubt. We are the lateral thinkers' AFL club.

 

[nikdante]

Biggie Nyuon!

 

[Scoop]

Pace, pace, pace, chase,chase, chase, chase.

 

[WesternTiger]

A little baffled as to why we took two of Brisbanes Academy prospects when there were other players available.?

A pick swap with the Pies of one spot?

What are you baffled by? We obviously ranked those players above others that were available.

 

[TigerForce]

Finally picked a tall.

Good at the ruck, but I reckon we might develop him into a defender Aliir Aliir type.

 

[TigerMasochist]

Biggie No-one, a Saints next gen academy kid. That's three bids we've made n no-one bothered to match, hope we know something that they don't.
Gunna be a heap of time, work n fingers crossed getting this young fella up to standard, hope it works.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Biggie sounds more like a rookie pick from the profile writeup. His tapwork on the highlights reel is outstanding.

 

[ToraToraTora]

Pace, pace, pace, chase,chase, chase, chase.

Exactly. Chaos chaos chaos.

 

[Tigertool]

Are we done now?
