2024 Draft Thread

Folks are still spending their cash before it's in the bank.

I don't think we should be getting our hopes up that we're getting 8 first rounders, as we could end up with 2. Lots of disappointment coming if the AFL bend us over (again).
Maybe a new rule, something like only 2 first round picks per team, all other traded 1st rounders get forfeited. Wouldn't put it past them.

Don't reckon $hai should be on this list, but for the rest of them, hmmm. There's a handful of blue collar tradies n another handful of kids that might yet become tradies or a bit better. Not much that makes the eyes water or the ticker crank up though, guess that's what we need to be stocking up on this year.
I just listed all the 26yo and under. Shai is mute point anyway, he's going. And yep exactly, that to me is a scary average list in that age group.

Report now that Draper doesn't want to play for Adelaide and would prefer to be drafted by a "big Melbourne club".

EDIT: Sorry turns out one needs to read the latest posts in a thread before trying to be best newsbreaker in the business of posting on punt road end.😳

By the way peeps, this whole we are gonna have 75 draft picks is soooo New Richmond. It REEKS of future planning. It's 5D chess. Old Richmond is dead.

It scares me if those with the inside word say we are looking to a) push picks into next year's lesser ranked draft pool and b) only take 8 picks over the two drafts. If either of those two things transpired (unless all 8 picks are first rounders), our footy department has completely lost the plot.
The post did say 8x 1st rounders over 2 years
 
Dunno if its been mentioned but Bo Allans premiership WAFL game looks pretty good on paper (didnt see it @tigerman ?)

11 disposals and 6 tackles

Senior State premierships for 18yos is good form
I watched the game on TV and I thought he was pretty underwhelming.
Haven’t seen him at all before that so very small sample size !

Strange about the Draper story.
Maybe he recalls the info about their infamous 2018 pre season camp, then sees first hand the Rachel saga n has managed a thought bubble or brain fart that Adelaide simply doesn't gell with his expectations. So he'd rather be picked to play elsewhere. A young Scully got a good look at the way Smelbourne went about things a few years back n couldn't get out of the place quick enough.
 
Now that Draper has stated he wants a Big Melbourne club i would have no hesitation trading into pick 3 from WC

2 of Draper, FOS & Jagga and one of Lalor or Langford....would be a great start to our rebuild.
