2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
Jack Whitlock and Jonty Faull for me ,both are hard workers, can take a mark,and kick goals.
I just wonder whether Blair will even take 1 kp forward,he has a habit of backing in player's on the list,even if they are average .
Armstrong lm not sold on ,doesn't work hard enough off the ball,might be a me me type .
Sims l still maintain is like Peter Wright .
I would also be looking at the players who are in the medium height range ,who can take a mark and kick goals
I reckon there's every possibility that the best bargains in this draft come from the KPF's. I reckon we could pick up a decent KPF in the 30's or so.
I reckon guys like O'Farrell and Nicholls might present big time value.
Thats a lot of "reckons"....

O''Farell is quite good l see he is playing as a forward since coming back from injury,,he should be around the 30 range you would think
I know its only APS, but go and watch him playing CHF for St Kevins. He shows big time intent when contesting for a mark. Good kick as well.
Totally forgot about Tauru ,he is showing lot's of promise as a forward,,pity he didn't play there at the champs
Yes. Tauru is also interesting.
The Champs throws so many kids out of position its not funny. That's one thing the Eastern Ranges weren't happy about with Smillie in the Champs. Harding kept throwing him forward so that Reid (who Harding coaches at the Dragons) could get midfield time.
Like others, agree on Shanahan.
The other thing to take into consideration - 9 of his 11 goals came against Northern Bullants and Coburg. Two of the poorest VFL teams.
Reckon any young Key position player worth his salt could have played those games and had similar output. By as you say getting easy leadups with the ball coming in under little pressure in big wins against poor opposition.
Yeah. Look he's ok. Has talent. No doubt. Just a bit more wary with him than others.
Your summation of jagga is spot on.
I'm OK with jagga if we have pick 2 and fos is taken,I'm warming and just about convinced that any pick we have after 1 or 2 needs to be Armstrong.
my take is we arent going to have a pick in the 30s or later.
They'll be consumed in the pick swap with Brisbland or Mold Coast
Are two Whitlock's better than one? By that I mean, I presume there's a better Whitlock (Jack) out of the two. By taking the brother, does that get more out of the better Whitlock? If ya kinda know what I mean.....
Have to walk away with two key forward options from this draft.
Assuming they're both good enough to make it as players. Wouldn't hurt if you could bookend the both, KPF and KPD. Could simplify their transition from country to city n the professional standards required to succeed at AFL level if they got to develop together.Are two Whitlock's better than one?

Dunno how we get the range of mids that we want (or that everyone is into on PRE), plus 2 decent KPF's ? That'd be 7 picks inside the top 30 or so.
Maybe. Pretty hard though.
So as it stands at the moment 4 list retirees and potentially 4 Premiership players traded out.
Minimum list size is 37, max 44, if I’ve read that correctly.
Currently hold 10 draft picks. Stressful job being a list manager.
