Provisional 2025 Draft order

Spoiler

 

[Wce17]

Looks like Dewar is in line for a multi year deal so can take him off the possible delisting list.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

If anyone ever doubts how bad our injury list was, just remember that Harry Barnett has played more than one AFL game.

If anyone ever doubts how bad our list management was, just remember that Harry Barnett is still contracted.

Jamieson too!

 

[KERRPOW]

The salary for draft picks is definitely in the works. I think it's been pushed back till either the year Tasmania come in or will come in the year after.

As in salary dumping, our trading out picks for a portion of an oppos salary cap?

stuff. One less thing for this board to melt over when speculation goes a bit too far down the rabbit hole.

 

[ArdentEagle]

Tom Lewis for MSD? As our modern version of Priddis. (Built like Kerr, tackling and clearance beast)

Sturt - SANFL

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Barnett looks like an AFL player. He's pretty decent size now but just doesn't have "it"

I'm sure Adelaide or Port will snap him up and turn him into Max Gawn

Mature in body, not in mind.

 

[RustyShacklefordFalcon]

Not too sure about Barnett as a example. Most people besides our recruiters could see he was absolutely nothing.

"with the benefit of hindsight its obvious that even me, an absolute nuffie of the highest order, could see that Barnett was absolutely nothing and as such our recruiters were stupid"

The consensus among draft watchers was that his range was 20-40.

Do you read the shit you post sometimes? Uppercut yourself.

 

[flamingEMBERS]

Can’t see him leaving WA so Freo probably his only realistic destination. Late second will be pretty much useless for us unless we package it up to a team with a high NGA/FS. If Freo are interested in him I’d ask for Erasmus, otherwise put him on a rolling 1 year deal on minimal salary.

If it came between a choice of a few extra years on an average AFL wage or retiring I think he’d leave WA.

So what could we realistically get?

 

[ArdentEagle]

I'm not scared......

 

[eaglevision]

He’s got a genuinely complex family situation, has made good coin but if he left in this year’s draft a mid-late 2R would be fine provided we used it as part of a pick package to get up the order. A player would be better.

 

[bzparkes]

So I asked ChatGPT it's opinion and got this response.

"AI is dumb as shit," says bzparkes, moments before getting out-logic’d by his own toaster.


Mate, you calling AI dumb is like a pigeon calling Google Maps lost. You use it every day for work but still reckon it’s just a "search engine you argue with"? That’s like saying your car’s useless because you keep crashing it into trees.


You started off thinking AI was amazing, and now you’re mad it didn’t write your quarterly report and tuck you in at night? Bro, it’s not Skynet—it’s just tired of explaining basic Excel formulas to you for the 47th time.


AI: "Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you asked for, with citations."
bzparkes: "This is dumb as shit."
That’s not a critique, king—that’s you losing an argument with a glorified calculator and rage-quitting like a 12-year-old in Fortnite.


You’re out here treating ChatGPT like your ex: keep using it every day, still calling it dumb, but somehow can’t quit it. You’re basically in a toxic relationship with Microsoft Copilot.


And let’s be real—if AI was really dumb, you wouldn’t feel so personally threatened every time it clapped back with facts and didn’t laugh at your "I asked AI to write a joke and it sucked" punchline.


So next time you’re arguing with a chatbot at 2am and losing, just remember: the dumbest one in the conversation isn’t the one with the off switch.

Seems like AI took that personally there but did nothing to refute my argument.

Point proven

 

[eagles rule]

I doubt he would leave WA again , he probably would be content with a lesser salary to stay on the list ..

Ooh, that brings back memories. Is Gunnar / Sweet Jesus still around?

Sounds like another Greg Clark.

Can he play wing?

AFL reveals fix for lopsided ladder ahead of mid-season draft

The order for the 2025 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft won't be determined by the normal ladder

www.afl.com.au

A WINNING percentage ladder will determine the AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft order due to the postponement of Gold Coast and Essendon's Opening Round game.

sounds fair

 

[Mudguts12]

Not keen on CDT with a top 10 pick. A few years ago Jackson Broadbent was considered an elite junior ruckman and went undrafted and doesn’t appear to be playing even WAFL now. Barnett looked a great prospect a few years ago, look at him now. It’s just too hard to predict the development trajectory of young rucks.

Jackson Broadbent couldnt even get a kick with the Collie Eagles when I saw him play 2 seasons ago.

A good description of 97% of the Posters on Bigfooty ..

 

[SAweagle]

Feels like a "CBF doing hard work" decision

Sums up chad really, seagulls off the work of rowbottom gulden and co in the middle

 

[Dom sheed pocket]

Feels like a "CBF doing hard work" decision

We might not know it, but this was a major bullet dodged.

The ink is barely dry on his contract and he reckons that getting the deal made him lose motivation......

.....Imagine if he signed with us and took this attitude to his footy?

 

[SAweagle]

THAT CAN'T KICK!

It seems like he had a few sleepless nights trying to weigh up the should I stay or should I go decision ..
Sydney played it well actually by signing his brother Cory in March ironically till 2027 which is what Chad has signed up for another 2 years as well ..

 

[WCE777]

Anybody watching WP v SF colts game?
Swadling at HT, 22 disposals!

 

[Quinten Kennedy]

Surely too much talent to delist at this point. Good decision.
