2015/16 National Draft

[jhello]

With pick 23 the Leeches will take Darcy Tucker

[Ricochet]

In their debut season!? Freo are a top 4 side, there'll be hardly any kids ready to go in their debut year for any top side, not just Freo

Neale, Sheridan, Sutcliffe, APearce....

All played upwards of half a year in only their 2nd year and are regulars

It's a myth that Ross doesn't give kids a go now. If they're ready to go, they get a chance



EDIT: This is off track anyway. Sorry, keep drafting lads :)

[JBs-Hawks]

We arent drafting for their first years of footy.

[elephants]

Besides not many kids are ready-made AFL players, and even less are ready-made to walk into a premiership contending side!

Nice stats, but overall they're fairly irrelevant imo.

[Rids]

They make for interesting stats. Just thought I would share them to people. Make of them what you will. I really don't mind. But they are the reason I said what I did earlier and Ross not liking to play the kids.

Grope Lane is up!

This is very nice and simple. 3 picks in a row here.

Grope Lane take:

pick 24 - Josh Dunkley
pick 25 - Bailey Rice
pick 26 - David Cuningham

SR messaged

And Giants are done  :D

[Ringo]

and I wipe another 3 off my list,

Just a heads up Draft may be paused after conclusion of round 2 as final trade is pending approval and involves a pick in 3rd Round. Will continue though if approved before end of second round.

Ross Lyon Coaching Career

Games played by draftees in their debut season:

2007 Saints
pick 9 - David Armitage 3 games

2008
pick 9 Ben McEvoy 1 game
pick 42 Jack Steven 0 games

2009
pick 13 Tom Lynch 0 games

I'd be happy if any of this years draftees turn out like these guys tbh

[SydneyRox]

I would just like to say I dislike

A. How many draft picks the gropers have
B. Having to always pick after they take the guys I want.

What trade is this? The LMac/Vardy one?

[Ringo]

Yep this one will get over the line I think when posted,

[SydneyRox]

Welcome to the Bunnies

Callum AhChee
Sam Weideman

[Nige]

Marlon's asked me to post this on his behalf.

Wrexham will take Mitch Brown.

[Ringo]

Draft will continue as normal as I have approved final trade and adjusted draft order as well.

I have sent a list of players to my co coach for him to advise and still waiting so will post Swanseas pick when confirmation received.
