Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

Same rule applies to this thread as other years, keep it on topic about the kids.
Don’t get bogged down on what other teams might do or where they will finish.

Trade speculation belongs here.
That's also where you can discuss your mock drafts or pick trades.

Any McCabe, Dear or Maginness talk belongs here.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Trade in for Leake please Hawks.

 

[ShoveYourCOLA]

Curtin being asked if he’s happy to be going to Adelaide?

 

[Thorgils]

Curtin seemed very surprised he was taken by crows.

 

[KermitJagger]

And then trade their pick to us lol

For a club with an academy they sure hate every other club getting priority access to players

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Noah Bolter

Once Leake is taken and McCabe gets bid on/matched, then there is nothing left worth watching, I'm Max Gawn.

 

[Gohawks16]

You do realise he was not expected to be taken?

He was always a chance to be selected. The initial reaction was great but they ended up going over the top. His family behind didn't even get a chance to congratulate him.

 

[suedehead]

Curtin is gutted lol. My tip to be first draftee to request a trade home.

Swap of future firsts to grab Wilson could be nifty

Shocked no one is up in arms about Rogers' height since he's 1cm taller than Watson.

"I'm stoked to be playing for the Adelaide Crows" says Dan Curtin with a blank stare and monotone voice.

He is well coached in the right things to say. Not so much in saying it with conviction.

He will be a gun though. Would love to have him at Hawthorn.

Shell shocked

Swans list manager had a huge sook the other year about clubs bidding on their players and have spent every year since doing it to other clubs the pricks lol

Of course not because Watson is the shortest player of all time and there hasn't been one legend at his height or shorter. Or so everyone tells us.

I love that these days the trend is to draft athletes over 190cm and yet two 170cm players have been drafted in the top 15 this year.

He was always a chance to be selected. The initial reaction was great but they ended up going over the top. His family behind didn't even get a chance to congratulate him.

He was literally at the draft as a mate. He had to use O'Sullivan's Polo as he didn't have his on. Of course he was bloody excited to be taken 15 picks ahead of where he thought he might be taken.

We took their cola. They will never forget

 

[theiaofseed]

North to bid on McCabe, bookmark it.

So true. And the year they whinged about it, it didn't even happen. It was when they got McDonald and academy player Campbell. We wanted to bid on Campbell and make Swans pay, but North wouldn't do it.

 

[VandoHawk]

Two years in a row Swans have gone with a double bid lol
Last time they were buying time to trade out to us

 

[cryptor]

Swans at it again

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Good omen for a pick trade here. Swans did this last time, then traded the pick.

Bidney x 2

 

[Blackhawk42]

Sydney do this on purpose every year. It's absolutely absurd. Can Kinear even list manage? Without the academy he wouldn't have a job in the AFL.

Not saying he can't be excited, his mates didn't even let his family in. That's who l was talking about. I prefer to see the reactions from their family.

 

[lethalselbow]

Swans bidding on McCabe next?
