2024 Draft Thread

[toothless]

I'll preface it by saying dont really understand them and im largely going off what other blokes say.

I like Simms the most, but hes gonna be there in the 20's almost certainly. maybe even 30's. its just a hunch on a few traits ive seen - speed, agility, taking there ball high one grab, below the knees work. all glimpses, which iOS all I expect out of an 18yo FF.

I also like what I see in Jack Whitlock (work rate up field, mitts)

but I think the data suggests Armstrong is the most blue chip and probably should be the first called?

ive been banging on about data and evidence all year, so I can suddenly start going on vibe.

Faull has a body of work and a rapidly improving trajectory, which im big on.

But yeah, I think J Riewoldt and N.balta are the only talls I can claim to have gotten very right over the years?

since you asked, but take with a fistful of grains of salt

Armstrong is the answer (if available?)

FOS and Harley Reid would be a pretty dynamic duo!

FOS - Reid - Sharp -Lalor - Jagga

 

[Harry]

Ernie & Bert
Laverne & Shirley

It's actually Bert & Ernie

 

[Don’t Argue]

What this FOS vs Jagga tells us all is that we need both.

Laurel & Hardie
Abbott & Costello
Gilligan & The Skipper
B1 & B2

You cant have one without the other.

Operation get picks 1 & 2. Or worst case 1 &3.

 

[T-Shirt Tommy]

Dunces of Doom & Princes of Prediction?

 

[Redford]

Nobets & Ridley.

 

[tigertough12]

jagga and Lalor/Langford/Reid

I reckon FOS is heading west.

 

[Don’t Argue]

Zips & Castagna

 

[bengal tigers]

Zips & Castagna

Bengal and Jagga .

Richmond and Lalor

 

[eZyT]

Armstrong is the answer (if available?)

yes

 

[eZyT]

Bengal and Jagga .

Richmond and Lalor

if I was a betting man, perish the thought,

id say it was significantly more likely Lalor plays for Richmond than FOS

namely, that I reckon our best picks will be 1 and 6 (clubs just aren't gonna throw top 5 picks about like Santa with lollies in the deepest, richest draft in 7 years)

and im pretty sure Jagga goes 1, and Lalor is way more likely to be at 6 than FOS

So Jagga first & Lalor our second pick?

 

[eZyT]

So Jagga first & Lalor our second pick?

whoever Dees leave out of lalor or langford I reckon? they might take Reid and we take our pick, which I wouldn't want to be doing.

Id have to go langford in line with my evidence based approach, but I wouldn't sleep for 2 years until it became clear the Sam Lalor isn't Dusty.

although Dusty was clearly going to be Dusty after 1 game.

then im reaching for JoeBerry at 9, probably Lindsay at 10, maybe Travaglia at 14, perhaps Bo 'Peter' Allan at 17,

and I think I'll have a leisurely breakfast a three coffees and take Jonty 'Python' Faull at 21 and Tom Gross at 29 and Tom Simms at 33

jagga, langford, JB, XL, Toby 'gelato' Travaglia, Bo 'when my baby goes to Richmond' Allan, Jonty Python, Tom Gross Pay, and Tom Dim Simms

then I reckon I'll just become a full time premiership attendee for a decade or so?

 

[ToraToraTora]

Personally, just off the top of my head, it should be:

Dragons: Dalton (2025), Ludowyke (2025), Armstrong, Oliver, Sulzberger and Voss.

Stingrays: Ah-Mu (2025), Hibbins-Hargreaves (2025), Hopkins, Doughton.

Chargers: Emmett (2025), Grlj (2025), Dowling.

Rebels: Charleson, Hannaford, Burmeister, Unwin.

Maybe a couple of others....

Oh yeah I read about Ah-Mu sounds a beast.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Lillee & Thomson
Lennon & McCartney
Hall & Oates
Scorsese & De Niro/DiCaprio
Hawke & Keating
Bonnie & Clyde
Simon & Garfunkel
Ebony & Ivory
Prior & Wilder

Statler and Waldorf

 

[eZyT]

Statler and Waldorf

Carter and Samedi

 

[BrisTiger24]

jagga and Lalor/Langford/Reid

I reckon FOS is heading west.

Jagga and Langford would send me batty.

The most vanilla early draft combo of all time.

Risk / reward is a thing and that combo would see us as average.

I would go FOS and Jagga/Draper/Lalor in that order. Gives us more upside while balancing risk IMHO

George and Geezer

Fred and wilma

and im pretty sure Jagga goes 1, and Lalor is way more likely to be at 6 than FOS

Highly doubt the recruiters will see it that way .Lalor at 6
