2024 Draft Thread

I have no doubt that most of the footy world is cringing about us having potentially half a dozen top-20 picks in a super draft just 4-years after our dynasty!
Sam McLure is a Carlton supporter isn't he? so we can only hope his fear or prophecy comes true
This aged well
Clip of Harry Armstrong playing for Sandringham last month.
Still cannot see how he is possibly rated anywhere near where he currently is by many on here (and some of the media).
As poor a 4 goal game as you will see. Nice kick, smart enough player.
But slowish, goes to ground, gets little elevation and on the shortish side for a key forward these days.
Still confident there are 3-4 (possibly more) other guys for his role in this draft we'd be better off taking

We should apply for a priority pick, just to stir the pot!

AFL Draft: State league form consolidates August Power Rankings
Successful jumps to state league football by some of the most accomplished AFL draft prospects this year have consolidated ESPN's draft board for August.www.espn.com.au
Travaglia at 8 - hmmmmm. Good to see some love.
He had a sneaky under the radar VFL debut for Carlton on the weekend.
Had a couple of sloppy kicks early. Which he can do.
But farrkkk, he plays for keeps. How's his attack on the footy and tackling. He's next level in that area.
Very very good one on one against men. Looks like he really grew into the game as he adjusted to the higher pace.
Once he fills out he's gunna be a great physical specimen who will make opponents scared when they have the ball, and nervous with his attacking mindset with it
He's all footballer. Love him.
Great thread everyone. Fair to say more knowledge in here than the media.
Would it be right to say we only have enough draft points to pull off one pick swap. Eg brisbane pick 14 for our picks over 30?

If this happens and it probably will , and all of Shai Sos Bakes and Fridge go, we will have more than enough picks to bid on a player or trade out a couple to move up the order.
If Ashcroft gets called then Brisvegas have to pay the value of that call, less the 20% F/S discount. If we call Ashcroft at 1 and that value is 3000 draft points then Brisvegas can match the call with a 20% discount ie. 2400 points of value.
As long as the calls keep getting matched by the clubs with access to F/S or Academy priority a club could keep calling picks until they actually make a call that doesn't get matched.
Think from vague old fart memory, we've already done this once before, but later in the draft. Called a player that got matched n then called a second player that also got matched. Vague old memory might be dodgy, but I'm sure it was done a few years back.
I like him, he impressed me in a couple of the National games that I watched.
If there are 6 better players than Lombard, then this is a very good draft. He would walk into most teams in his first year.
I like TT. Couple of queries on skills but I think as I saw more they were ironed out. I reckon TT and Lindsay are Toce types (see Wilson/Wang-Mil).
Yeah, good signs and throws himself into every contest. Has the jets which we need. Tackles with intent. A bit spasmodic with his kicking and seemed to handball a lot.
This type of player suits the high-pressure, chaos and forward handball type of game plan.
So Reid n Smillie would rather sit back n play kiddie league than have a crack at the grown ups right before the draft that sets up their footy lives. Touch of privileged soft *smile* happening there????Richmond requested both Murphy Reid and Smillie to play for our VFL team but they have chosen to stay with their Coats teams.
Smith is done with his 3 week trial but they’re trying to get FOS back again for one more game down the track.
TIGERS' NO.1 AUDITIONS CONTINUE
RICHMOND has looked at auditioning more potential No.1 draft picks through its VFL program as the Tigers look set for a bumper draft crop, with the club attempting to get classy midfielder Murphy Reid into the team as well.
The Tigers will have top pick contender Harvey Langford play for their VFL side this weekend, following midfield pair Finn O'Sullivan and Jagga Smith in recent weeks.
Smith and O'Sullivan will return to play for the Oakleigh Chargers this weekend, with Smith's three-game run for Richmond now done. O'Sullivan may play one more game for the Tigers but it is to be determined.
The Tigers requested Sandringham Dragons talent Reid to play for them as well in the VFL, however he will play for the Dragons this week. His VFL affiliate is the Sandringham Zebras, so if Reid was to play at the level it would have been for them.

The Tigers have also had interest in getting Eastern Ranges midfielder Josh Smillie to feature in their VFL side however, like Reid with the Zebras, the Ranges have ties to Box Hill Hawks. Smillie will play out the year with the Ranges.
With the Richmond injury list cutting into the Tigers' VFL squad as well, the club is able to ask for AFL approval to have potential draftees play for them to fill their team line-ups even if their Coates Talent League regions don't match up as affiliates with the Tigers.
Richmond has used the opportunity to trial three of the top contenders for the No.1 choice. – Callum Twomey
