Draft night 1 wrap up thread

[Diocletian]

Looks like a good draft to me for the Tiges but anybody else notice how few Aboriginals were drafted? Did the Ku Klux Klan suddenly take over the AFL?( That's a joke for those who don't get it, obviously non white kids were taken)

And they reckon only 2 will be drafted and the first night was like wow yeah it's true. Maybe tonight will change things

Histrionic race baiting crap like this is why Trump won easily.

Yeah but Trump did the race baiting.

LMAO ...is the big bad orange man in the room with you now?

What about hysterical rants comparing the AFL to the KKK because the draft didn't meet some imaginary racial quota?

Someone gave an opinion and as a joke (yes a very poor one) used a poor analogy ..isn't the 1st and certainly won't be the last

My comment wasn't directed at any one poster but was to simply get the posts in this thread back on topic.

Want to me take it further? I can and will edit and hand out suspensions if that's what you're suggesting

Overall very happy with our draft.

My preference would have been 1 extra top end mid rather then the third tall in Sims.

I know I’ve been told otherwise, but can’t shake the feeling that we could have taken Allen/Reid at pick 14 and still ended up with Faull, Trainor and Armstrong with our next 3 picks while still doing that deal with the Kangas that gave us their 2025 1st rounder. I mean 3 of the first 4 key forwards taken in the draft were all picked by us and the 4th taken by the kangas was using the pick we traded them lol

Lalor, Smillie, Hotten, Allen/Reid, Faull, Trainer, Armstrong, Alger + Norths F1 is a better balance imo. Anyway all speculation. Club knows hell of a lot more then we and maybe caught wind that Faull would have been taken before P21.
