2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
Correctly guessing the top 30 in the draft in exact order would be similar odds to winning Powerball.
I’d think their first priority will be Rioli and that trade if it is to happen, will happen early. It will involve their 2 first rounders and a fair slice of his salary going back.
I could see pick 12 going on Noble but only if they missed out on Rioli.

Why is that ? I was thinking a minimum of six players drafted in November
Do we really want their F1 ? which will most likely be 16+ anyway
These extra picks would be needed to upgrade this years picks with other trades we have
Bloody deep draft of Ough & Sims cant get into the top 30
We need to take 7 picks in this draft
Delist : Dow McIntosh Cumberland Coulthard
Trade : Bolton , Graham , Rioli , Baker
retire: Dusty , Naismith , Grimes , Pickett
Brisbane will match the bid with their first pick.
If its pick 17 or 18.
Any points deficit causes their future first to slide.
Zero chance Ashcroft is anywhere but Brisbane
Given the number of players mentioned in trade discussions plus the retirements we are already aware of and the trade picks likely to be available believe more than six coming in, more probably eight to nine is likely.
Baker, Bolton, Coulthard, Graham, Grimes, Lynch, Naismith, Rioli and Pickett plus Cumberland and McIntosh.. all could be gone. So far only Blight and Gray coming in.

What would be the thoughts on filling the other 3 list spots???? Rookie, PSD or a couple of delisted free agents?
That's fine. If they've got to wipe out the value of their first pick next year as well, then they might also virtually wipe out the rest of their draft next year getting that academy kid Marshal on the books as well.
Just in case no-one has noticed Brisvegas has been playing finals for a few years now, which now includes back to back grannies while we're the ones with our arses dragging in the dirt.
All this talk of trading them a heap of points value on the cheap ( which will seriously restrict our trading capability ) plus then not bidding on the best kid in the draft just for pick 17 or 18 is bloody madness. They want Ashcroft, then make them bleed for the privilege.
Or
We do something where we gain.
Swap late picks for 17/18.
It will virtually cost us nothing to gain an extra pick
If we only did this - it would be one the biggest missed opportunities in the clubs history. This draft is 30-40 quality players deep. We have the potential to get 8+ top 40 picks.
But is it quality or just there aren't standouts this year? Seems very even with alot of conjecture over who are the best.
you forgot Dusty !!!
I suspect Lynch and McIntosh will be on the list in 2025. I'm expecting about 7-8 picks.
That would be very disappointing.
We will never get this chance again...to get 8 top quality players of 10 year value for next to nothing cost in dollars.
Personaly I would take another ie Ough ...a genuine footballler,tall mid,skilled,unhurried...like J Steele of Saints.
Geez...this is our once in a generation opportunity.
8 or 9 quality youth plus 4 more over next 2 years..massive rapid rebuild.
Nothing to lose...or....do little and get little.
