2024 Draft Thread

Sam Lalors the man we needwins clearances and if he's not winning them makes a contest ,strong overhead ,good kick,can be damaging up forward ,get him into a AFL environment get his body and fitness right ,he will be a weapon .
I still think we need a Ruck to develop ,maybe Penfry ,and Trainor or Faull as possible Key forwards .
Plenty of decent player's will be around for second and third round picks
We aren't going to solve all list needs this year,but we should be able to fix some for the future.
Yeah if Lalor has a clear run at it this year, he could end up rivalling Smillie for number 1 you'd think.
With Balta and Lefau coming through our greater need is midfielders. As previously suggested Young for Baker would be an excellent result.
Absolutely agree but we start with the disadvantage of having a reputation of being generous when it comes to getting x players to their preferred destination.
I haven't been a fan of this lad but this clip is hard to ignore. So much to like here, for the first time, I see the Tom Green of it. And first time I've seen him slice through traffic and look like he can get to the outside from the inside of a stoppage. He's a ready-made footballer. Could he play with Taranto and Hopper? Dunno. Feels like FOS and Jagga are better matches but I'm not sure they become better footballers than Smille.
Yeah, was an impressive game. Makes me feel better if we miss O'Sullivan. Still goes to ground a bit too much for my liking.
Meanwhile, Bo Allan has entered the chat. Previously described as a backman, he played mid in the Colts after coming back from the seniors and killed it. Tall, fast, powerful, great mitts, long kick (left-footer bonus). Competitive beast. Very keen to see him hopefully play mid at the Champs.

He's a mid to my eye. We have Grimes replacements on the list. Big fast powerful mid more valuable.
He looks a back man to me ,and played well in the academy game DOWN BACK
,Who's the Grimes replacement .
DID HE?He looks a back man to me ,and played well in the academy game DOWN BACK
Who's the Grimes replacement .
If he can play well in the midfield at 191cm with that pace, that;s more valuable, DON'T YOU THINK
I like him don't get me wrong,but there are better mids out there,l think the champs will sort it out .DID HE?

Yeah played in the academy game ,played well in a disorganized team .
Would take Jagga ahead of Allen, easily. Jagga reminds me of Josh Daicos in his movement and body shape. And even his movement with the ball.
I'm a huge fan.
He's not as quick as Daicos. I like him too. The more kids elevating the better.
As bt says, the champs will reveal more.
How come you like Josh Daicos but reckoned Nick Daicos wasn’t any good ? I think you might be a confused bi-sexual behind the scenes. Embrace the real you and come out Scoop ! Come out brother-sister !
Yeah he has that long torso and low centre of gravity like the Daicos boys. Heaps of others like Serong, Neale, Miller etc have that sorta build.
Really helps with his balance.
As others have said, a lot of the year to play out - But reckon he's right alongside everyone bar maybe Smillie as it stands. In Leysy's view anyway.
Also love that he starred as an under ager last year. 28 touches and near a goal a game in the Coates league in a year that is looking reasonably strong.
I like to read this thread from time to time and I apologise if because of the intermittent interest this has already been covered.
There seems to be a lot of posting about mids and I get why but if we were to get a 2nd early pick why wouldn’t we target the best available key forward?
Are there no standouts?
