2025 Draft Watch

[Virgin-Dog]

Geez all these players we’re being linked to are uninspiring. Lindsay is way too outside to have a meaningful impact on our defence. Thredgold with our 1st is a massive reach, especially since we’re getting Darcy. NHH is way too untidy with his field kicking to be anything other than a small forward imo (and do we need to spend yet another 1st on a forward?)

If there’s a slider then great, otherwise I hope we live trade out

ESPN has us taken Lindsay if that happens I'll be stoked.

[Bulldogs201616]

So the year we have Will Darcy coming to us, after taking Walker at the MSD, we'll take another KPD?

I just don't see the logic.

I have no issues in taken Thedgold but in the second round.

[Mofra]

True footy and Dylan Alexander have us taken Thedgold with our first pick. That's passing up on Josh Lindsay and Oskar Taylor as well.

[Uninformed]

It's just an opinion of one amateur draft guy. I mean they're almost at an incentive to create a point of difference to highlight they're switched on.

And most tend be overly inclined to address needs (KPD) over best available where you would have to take Lindsay or Taylor I think.

[Stevo]

Especially when there is a good chance we will get him with our second pick.

I don't mind the club reaching a bit for players they rate. This seems a bit of a reach though,.

[Willow18]

Yeah that seems like a silly decision haha if he landed at our 2nd pick, then no issues. But we’d just be adding him to JOD & Buss and fixing nothing for next year

Looking at the second round

All the teams with * next to it should be impacted with matching bids so I'm thinking we have the 3rd or 4th pick on the second night.

It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. Even Dons late 1st could be swallowed up by a Sweid bid.
easiest way to think about the 2nd round but likely not perfect is to just match the picks with their academy kids:

suns - definitely swallowed up
Roos
Roos
Dons - Sweid
Suns - Addinsall
Suns - swallowed up /Murray/Coulson
Dons - El Achkar
Swans - King
Swans - Kyle/Carmichael
Dogs

Blake Thedgold is another I'm interested in he is ranked 30 on Twomey rankings. Would jump at him in a heart beat with our second pick.

[Jasper]

No real surprises but I'd go with Dovaston O.taylor, NHH, Phillipou (Since you mentioned him the other day I had a look and he would be perfect for us)

You have inspired me to have a closer look at those 4. I've looked a lot at Taylor and a bit at Dovaston but nothing much with the other two.

[Bulldogs201616]

Dogs getting Dovaston would appeal to the Bulldog faithful.
Good effort by the way.

Just out of curiosity, if you had to narrow our range down to 4 players for our pick who would they be? ie any surprises?.

As for Dovaston I'm torn between him and Oscar Taylor. It would be a flip of the coin for me happy with either
