The 2023 Draft Thread

I think the net gain was a future 2nd.

So near enough.

Point is gotthard is a bloody small forward.

People acting like curtin was the messiah.

St Kilda do well to get Wilson this late.

Montagna just said

“You have to wonder if GWS could have gotten Gothard anyway at pick 17 and just taken Leake at 12”

Uh, no Leigh you dont. Its the exact same outcome lol.

Did Leake just win race 7 at Randwick?

As we well know with all those second round picks Dodororo wasted over the years.

Sounds like a jockey

So what do we get with pick 35?

Small forward? Mid? HBF?

Feels weird to not draft a mid.

Feel Joey is right, GWS probably could have done those selections the other way around and saved themselves a F2nd

Reckon Leake is the mid term replacement for Whitfield

Not quite. They give up a 2024 2nd rounder to do it

Maybe Stevens or Simpson if they’re available.

Thats the luxury of being ahead of us in the draft! We could have done the same trading down too. Theres also nothing to stop us trading back in if we want someone on the board in the 20s to pip the cats or anyone else!

People whining about us giving pick 31 to Cats as well

We don’t know what other clubs were in the mix to trade up to get Cats pick

There could have been offers there that we had to get ahead of, especially given we just got trumped on GWS’s pick by the Crows for Curtin

I think it’d be less about Cats swindling us with intention to take the kpd next anyway and more about not missing out on our man to other clubs

Darcy Wilson is such a St Kilda selection. Ross Lyon is always banging on about the need to have a heap of elite runners to implement his gameplan.

How could you be?

You said all the cream is gone and we are just getting the leftovers.

I don’t give much credit to the AFL but it is way better with players having mates there.
