2024 Draft Thread

[bengal tigers]

LDU, Wardlaw and Sheezel are not hard? Your view of Jagga is also to be taken with a grain of salt.

Yeah North are full of hard physical player's ,thats why they are fighting for the spoon again and again .

 

[spook]

If we get pick 5 surely even Jagga's biggest fans won't mind if we don't pick him at 1, given there's a good chance he's there at 5, and if not, Reid will be who's a similar player.

No they aren't.

How does he have 14 contested possessions and 7 clearances a game in the champs.

Loose ball gets are contested possessions. They make up the majority of Naicos' contested ball. And they are gold because it's a clean possession.

 

[bengal tigers]

No they aren't.

How does he have 14 contested possessions and 7 clearances a game in the champs. The most of any player in both categories if he's winning it outside a pack or in space?

He has backed that up in his Coates and VFL games. Reckon he anticipates where the balls going at a clearance better than anyone in this class. Maybe only Draper compares. He then uses it quickly and instinctively.

Yes he can get pushed away, that's only cos he's light. He'll never be Dustin Martin, but strength will come. But he always puts his head over it (perhaps more than he should), - that is a more important trait.

I can win 20 clearances if l stand outside a pack and receive the ball from someones hard work ,
Contested possessions are a grey area to me these days ,you only have to be in the area of about 2-3 meters of a opposition player to get a stat.

Im not saying he won't end up a decent player eventually ,but he's not a no1 .

 

[Redford]

Welcome aboard Redmond. New members are always welcome.

Oh geeez....

FYI, in the coates league, you are given pretty firm instructions from head office not to tag opposition players.

Yeah thats been around for quite a few years ,but you can still run with a player,a lot of them don't .

 

[eZyT]

Or West Coasts pick 3 +,he doesn't get to chose ,and he probably has at least 7 years of football left .

no he shouldn't get to choose. he can buy a house in Fremantle drive 15 mins to training for either club, and be the same amount of closeness to family.

it should be an Auction between WC and Freo.

Freo 3 first rounders against WC first pick this year and next

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

It's a choice from ,a player Smith who looks like a rare play 90% good games and would make u very consistent or
A game breaking classy mid/ forward like fos who has mega improvement.

With the picks we should land, we might go FOS first and still be able to land Murph next.

The WC deal would be better,you would expect a higher quality player in picks under 5.
Even if next years draft isn't that strong,there will still be talent in the first 5.

Shai and Bakes for 2024 Pick 3 and 23 and their 2025 first (which will be top 10 - Shai and bakes added to Harley Reid and they will improve)

 

[tigertime2]

Smith has one position he can play - Midfield. He lives or dies at AFL level in this role.
He appears to be the safer conveyance, however, will be the biggest bust if his numbers dwindle at AFL level after a few tough years of AFL football.

FOS can play multiple positions - Midfield, Forward and Back. All positions at an elite level. Clearly the safer and better choice.

Oh geeez....

How does the team jacket fit, Redford???

Hardly think they're wearing that.

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

If all the rumours are true and they all go... there's only so many kids we can take and develop in a year. Five picks within 22 plus trade for some future picks. And we'll be anchored and getting more high picks in 2025 and beyond.

I bet they’ll just love the colours

 

[DuD_Delist]

The only problem with Shai playing on with Richmond next year is if he asks to move again next year. WC and Fremantle may not have the currency in picks and are trying to move on a out of contract Warner.

Bolton might come in handy if Ried wants to return to Vic.

 

[DuD_Delist]

Who we going to pay overs or recruit to pay 95% of the cap??????? Mill for Shai gone, Mill for Dusty gone, potentially 700k for Rioli gone

Pay some of Boltons and Rioli's salary for 2yrs.

 

[DuD_Delist]

Or West Coasts pick 3 +,he doesn't get to chose ,and he probably has at least 7 years of football left .

Would West Coast be that type of campaigners that they'd go after Bolton just to make it more difficult for Freo to win their first flag?
Until Freo win a Flag West Coast will always be the kings of the west.

 

[DuD_Delist]

Months of my video reviews and readings, leads to this conclusive crop for top 10 (not including father son etc).
