2024 Draft Thread

[Scoop]

One of the reasons he reminds me of Nathan Brown.

You give me prime Nate Brown and I take him pick 1.

Haven't been this keen on a junior, relative to consensus, since Mac Andrew (along with Jagga) TBH. Still remember our "debates" on Andrew.

Yep I couldn't see it with Andrew, I was too scared by Nic Cox, I didn't like him at draft and thought he was a man with out a spot at draft time and I foolishly didn't consider Andrew's athletic profile. Put them both in the same basket.

I'm not anti Travaglia at all, just don't think he fits what we need. If you were asking me who can be like Weddle or Blakey out of this draft it's him more than Trainor because of the way he runs. Trainor is more Jordan Ridley, covers the ground but not express. Kicks the ball really well, has Travaglia covered a long way in that area.

 

[toothless]

Surely we don't need any more slow onballers...?

 

[eZyT]

Yep, lots of opinions of who we take with picks we don’t have yet.
I wonder if people will be happy if all of Baker-Bolton-Rioli decide to stay

ill be stoked

Not saying he's as good as Nafe but reminiscent in playing style. Mr B says he's the best thing to come out of Wang Rovers since Stevie J.

Just when I was starting to like Berry. Geeez...

Sims’ results are interesting. Got speed, power and agility but not much of a tank.

sam Walsh ran 22.1, so big Sims 560 should be adequate

those yo-yo numbers @spook posted are like something @Willo puts up on the politics board

 

[eZyT]

On form, you’d have to say Ashcroft is a clear number 1 pick.

this week, yes

Beep test and Yo-Yo test are different.
They don’t do Beep tests anymore

Joe Berry is the player I most want with our second pick, in the manner I wanted Darcy Jones in '22

yeah well, I'll take a bloke who runs a 500 YO-YO,

and tell him to run a double marathon for Captains Runs

Whitlock did an 840 Yo-Yo and is the same height.
Impressive

Don't worry, he's just reporting what he's been told.

Yeah his numbers are freakish across the board.

Sims has better mitts though.

im confused now.

they used to do beep tests, but now do Yo-Yo,

right?

and >20 is an elite Yo-YO

so Whitlock is 40 times as elite as Sebastian Coe?

funny fos compares favourably with these 2 and
is not considered an athletic beast

I heard that given the Hawks are likely to trade for Barass they are not going to have much in the way of a draft hand this year. They are evidently interested in trading their 2025 first rounder for a couple of picks in the 2nd or 3rd round this year, depending on the club.
That's another way to go if we are interested in strengthening 2025

Yep the hawks will think they are close to a premiership and want more youth

I think go for their first rounder and watch them slip with a harder draw, a few injuries and there game plan under scrutiny

100% accurate then Onya Spook

TBH I’m not sure how they actually determine the Yo-Yo score but of course the main difference is the athletes have a 10 second break every 2x20 metre shuttle run so they can score a lot higher than the Beep test which is continuous running.
A 15 beep test is considered excellent. Sam Walsh’s 22 is extraordinary. My son beat Chris Judds long standing beep test results at Caulfield Grammar with an 18.6

 

[Snatch]

He's a good player,what makes you think he needs work on his endurance?
Here''s his latest footage .EDIT,,He takes a mark over Matt Wgitlock,who is 10 cm taller

Can play.Big fan.
