00:00 - 00:03 | All 18 clubs gathered for the 2019 draft |
00:04 - 00:05 | right here |
00:05 - 00:07 | in the heart of Melbourne |
00:08 - 00:12 | We went in with picks 33, 35, 61 and 64 |
00:12 - 00:15 | After academy bidding 61 and 64 moved up the order. |
00:17 - 00:19 | We had all the picks we needed |
00:19 - 00:21 | to draft some inside mids. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein fuhrer |
00:27 - 00:28 | Dodoro thought best |
00:31 - 00:33 | Dodoro thought it best to draft talls |
00:34 - 00:36 | A forward and a ruck |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who didn't want Rantall, Bianco, Chirgwin, Byrnes, get out. |
01:13 - 01:15 | Another draft without an inside mid |
01:15 - 01:17 | when the draft was full of inside mids. |
01:18 - 01:23 | We let Collingwood draft Rantall when they already have a billion midfielders. |
01:25 - 01:28 | We could have traded up to get Robertson |
01:29 - 01:31 | but instead we trade down |
01:31 - 01:34 | to avoid getting Byrnes and Chirgwin. |
01:34 - 01:37 | I could give Dudoro a hat full of the names of inside mids |
01:37 - 01:40 | and he would still end up picking talls. |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mein fuhrer, we needed a developing forward. |
01:42 - 01:46 | We need an inside mid to get the ball to the forward. |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mein fuhrer, Dodoro saw value in the talls. |
01:48 - 01:52 | A blindfolded Kevin Sheedy would have drafted better. |
01:53 - 01:54 | Rantall was still there. |
01:56 - 01:57 | Every other team in the AFL |
01:57 - 02:00 | is drafting mids, developing their midfields |
02:00 - 02:03 | while we mess around and do everything we can |
02:04 - 02:08 | to avoid drafting any at all. |
02:08 - 02:13 | Next year we'll be back to drafting skinny, unknown flankers |
02:14 - 02:16 | who can potentially move into the midfield. |
02:17 - 02:21 | I could take overlooking Rantall if we'd picked up someone like Chirgwin. |
02:27 - 02:29 | At least we picked up a small forward |
02:30 - 02:34 | Perhaps he can become an inside mid, bulk up a bit. |
02:34 - 02:36 | It's the Essendon way. |
02:41 - 02:42 | Another two talls. |
02:43 - 02:47 | 15 years of mediocrity and we do the same thing again. |
02:48 - 02:53 | Carlton traded picks to get Sam Philp |
02:54 - 02:56 | Schoenberg went earlier than expected |
02:56 - 02:59 | but there were still mids there for him to pick |
03:00 - 03:02 | and he went the talls instead. |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't cry. It's not as bad as the drugs saga. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Heppell, Merrett and Shiel |
03:19 - 03:23 | will have to be our starting mids again next year. |
03:25 - 03:26 | At least Joe is staying |
03:31 - 03:33 | We've kept him from Sydney for good. |
03:40 - 03:46 | Imagine Rantall feeding the ball out to Shiel |
03:46 - 03:49 | who then kicks it down Joey's throat. |
03:53 - 03:56 | We need a new list recruitment team. |
