Mid Season Draft — Operation Replace Devon completed

benfti · May 27, 2019, 11:11am

What if the AFL had said yes to our earlier request?

Preliminary_Point2 · May 27, 2019, 11:12am

I’m most disappointed because we are already have a team full of two way runners.

Clone_Hirdy · May 27, 2019, 11:12am

Was that request for a rookie B selection?

barnz · May 27, 2019, 11:13am

can’t we just mid season draft mcniece and rookie b adam?

Must have been Knoll or nothing.

After this, if Bellcho/Clark get injured and we end up having to ruck Hooker or someone, then whoever made the call to pass should be on the first bus out of the club, never to return.

Fkg seriously. We have three blokes out for the year, Two of them are talls. Conveniently, this is right before the midseason draft. Lucky timing! And then we only decide to make ourselves eligible to take two draftees. Then on the night, we only end up taking one, and he’s a (hardworking) midget. We have ONE tall forward ready to play football at the moment, and one ruck who can be relied on to at least break even with a mailbox.

And then we try to sleaze Tippa2 onto the B list, get told we can’t, then refuse to take him anyway.

I really hope there’s something deeper going on here. Because we keep being offered free hits and just keep belting ourselves in the dangly bits. This looks like a shemozzle of richter scale proportions.

Clone_Hirdy · May 27, 2019, 11:14am

No. That’s why Hawks passed. They have some Rookie B that they want to use this year.

SplitRound · May 27, 2019, 11:15am

Can’t have been Draper’s rookie status, as Dunlop pointed out, several teams (eg the swans) only had rookies they were replacing.

benfti · May 27, 2019, 11:15am

Yeah.

Fozdog · May 27, 2019, 11:15am

What’s the worst thing that can happen? We have a player on our list we didn’t have yesterday. He could bring the Smith type pressure and that will be gold up forward. If not, it’s only a rookie type expense.

Speedy_Gonzales · May 27, 2019, 11:16am

So Disco just confirmed we wanted Knoll but he went before our pick to Syd

I expect they wanted to go Knoll then Snelling

But wasn’t to be. And clearly the quality of rucks left available must have been ordinary

Pretty impressive him saying Snelling might be our best athlete… runs 16 in beep test/has speed etc

Could be a fan favourite quickly especially given his manic tackling. Devon 2.0

Mr_Sunbury_1 · May 27, 2019, 11:16am

Is that for real? If so Dodoro is rowing down that river Denial. What a joke. Only coburg would be looking to sign McNeice.

benfti · May 27, 2019, 11:18am

I don’t think to many people have an issue with Snelling, it’s why we didn’t use the second pick on either a. A back up ruckman, or b. The player we were trying to Cat B earlier in the week

benfti · May 27, 2019, 11:20am

Seriously what in the actual fuckidy fark???

benfti · May 27, 2019, 11:20am

The more I think about this, the less sense it makes.

Crazy_Bomber · May 27, 2019, 11:23am

Don’t think about it then, helps me.

Fozdog · May 27, 2019, 11:23am

Oh I 100% agree with you there. I’ve stopped trying to understand Dodoros logic.

Speedy_Gonzales · May 27, 2019, 11:23am

Any chance we just did it so to have AFL in effect whilst not giving us dibs on him prevented other clubs from selecting him.

Efc2019 · May 27, 2019, 11:26am

What the ■■■■ do you want him to say? That he mcneice is ■■■■. For fucksake the pack of “knowitalls” is sickening. Give the new kid a ■■■■■■■ chance

Aceman · May 27, 2019, 11:32am

Wow, this club is farked. If Dodoro thinks McNiece has been good it just shows his judgement is poor and he isn’t fit to continue in his role. He can go into the cannon aswell
