2020 Draft Day

Re: 2020 Draft Day

No bids on McPherson or Raak means they slip through as rookies (Raak as Cat B I believe).

Gotta admit I'm pretty unsatisfied after sitting through what I believe was 7 hours of draft coverage only for us to pick the robot from Futurama.

Pick 60 was a pass by us.

Re: 2020 Draft Day

Bedendo sounds a bit like Mitch Georgiades, with his vertical leap, pace off the mark and sticky hands. Don't mind that type of x-factor player who can become a tricky match-up inside F50.

His rate of improvement in testing without any footy to play shows a pretty high level of determination as well.

A quick player who is agile and can jump at the footy is a good thing if can all be put together.

Starting a group called the Bedendodos. We can wear leather and hang around large groups of males (and bash anyone who points out that's kinda gay), run a little amphetamine, get involved in some garden variety extortion.

Should be fun.

Re: 2020 Draft Day

Well. In a nutshell, via a combination of good luck, good timing and some rat cunning, we turned pick 14 and a vaguely average handful of later picks into pick 1. And Treloar. That’s pretty good.

Re: 2020 Draft Day

Not about us but in general, I think clubs (esp Vic) leaving a spot open is a really good move. Can invite potential draftees down to train for the next few months and get a much stronger idea about their improvement since 2019 and how they might fit into the club before using a pick on them just before the start of the season.

Re: 2020 Draft Day

Ford and Winder were both rated fairly highly and taken directly after us. Fingers crossed it's not another Lipinski/Bolton moment.

I was staggered we didn't bite at Winder after the NGA forward fell through. He seems to have the exact small forward weapons that we need).

Re: 2020 Draft Day

Here are some of the players who were overlooked. I doubt we will have a go as we have a commitment to Roarke Smith & possibly McPherson & Raak

I would have liked us to have a go at Walsh.

Re: 2020 Draft Day

I seem to recall a couple of years ago when looking at the NGA lists Reef McInnes was ours, and there was some sort of realignment?
Has too much red wine warped my memory or is this true?
