2024 Draft Thread

Taj Hotton (y)
As much as I like him, IMO we can't afford to take yet another player that has done an ACL. Look how many on our list that have re-done theirs.

He might not do it again, but he might do it another 2 times.

Big risk/reward.

Richmond are refusing to part with their prized pick 1, despite an enormous bid from Gold Coast to snare the top pick in the hopes of landing Finn O'Sullivan

The Suns reportedly offered pick 6 and 12 as well as future first-round selection in exchange for first dibs at the 2024 draft, according to afl.com.au’s Cal Twomey.

With Levi Ashcroft to be taken as father-son selection,Gold Coast suns see Finn as their future captain and star of the future

Aren’t they giving us all those for Rioli?

We are totally stuffed and need every possible quality pick...NOW.
We need to be nasty to deal with and take everything possible...otherwise we will be rubbish for years to come.
Times have changed...this year is the line in the sand.
From now on...stack picks..lean on other sides...play dirty. Refuse to accept the AFLs " equalisation" policy....read...AFL decide who wins.
A shirt load of high draft picks and we will be back baby!
Yep I think we need 7-10 R1s over 2y that’ll really set us up to relaunch with a fresh talent base
 
Think the notion of Vontae as clear number 1 is gaining traction.
Is it the Suns sending us a signal, don’t ask too much for Rioli, this is what we value pick 1 at?

But a good sign. I actually think Jagger and Finn are a great combo. Rozee and Butters. And Zac Butters is my Jagga comp, that’s the type he turns into.

Wow that almost makes us obliged to take FOS with first pick, if that’s what other teams think of him. I think he’s most talented anyway
Not obliged at all.
There's no clear number 1. He may be the Sun’s preference but he hasn’t done nearly enough to be a clear number 1.

Where is this taken from, can't find it credited to Twomey anywhere?
