2024 Draft Thread

[Harry]

Poor old meedjia flogs are gunna b tripping over themselves trying to get this one right. No idea how the kids surname is pronounced, but what the *smile* were his parents thinking when they named him. Is it Jack O. Jack Ow. Or Jack Off. Some parents simply need a seriously large foot up their arse. Poor kid would have been absolutely slaughtered growing up old school, he'd have needed a leathery hide n big knuckles to get by just around his local area. Now it's all done on the net, ya can't get rid of it n it goes world wide in 30 seconds flat.

Yeah not sure what his parents were thinking.

Beware the flyer who comes from outside the top 10 after footy has stopped.

Maybe it's Jack Oo as in through, or Jack Or as in ought, but he'll always be Jack Off to me.

Off the top of my head, Bont, Clarry, Cockatoo, Salem, Vlas were post U/18 season flyers.

Bar Cockatoo, not too bad.

You reckon FoS doesn't have a bit to learn on how to get more involved in general play?

Is it currently a strength?

It simply cannot be when you are quick and have a good tank yet have pretty low posession stats.

Is knowing where to be that teachable?

FOS is clearly superior in the athletic traits, Jagga blows him away with football intelligence IMO.

Cannot see FOS going at 7 though!

FOS has a higher football IQ than anyone else in this draft.

 

[Leysy Days]

Really like FoS and he's rightly in the mix for pick 1.

But that's simply not true.

Old man with dementia dispensing psychological assessments of 18 year olds.....haaargh haaargh haaargh.

Yeah not sure what his parents were thinking.

Its quite obvious what they were doing

 

[spook]

Gotta love these insights into the kids' brains. I mean, Jagga had to be instructed 'forwards, not sideways'. At least he showed he's coachable.

 

[caesar]

FOS has a higher football IQ than anyone else in this draft.

I thought that belonged to Murphy Reid.

 

[tigertime2]

I thought that belonged to Murphy Reid.

I think there are two distinct attributes one who has a great footy brain like a Jack Riewoldt and the other who has a high footy IQ like a Trent Cotchin.

 

[TigerMasochist]

Its quite obvious what they were doing

Well unless the young fella was an IVF baby, I know what dad wasn't doing.

Watching Call 2Me interviewing Frockers list boss Walls
2Me is making statements 10 & 18 about what picks for $hai instead of asking questions

We've got a bead on the top 4 at last and it looks atm something like-

Ashcroft
Lalor
FOS
Smith

I'd love to know who else Clarke is looking at and who Hamish Ogilvie has listed.

 

[jokershoppe]

Simply must go 1. When the majority of other players say it, you should listen. Shown elite qualities in Coates League, showed elite traits in VFL game, great aerobic testing and acknowledged as having outstanding leadership qualities

We have already seen what speed and endurance would turn into with Max Holmes,was talking to Wellsy on Thursday at my business and the smile on his face when I said, don't know how all clubs missed a guy with speed, size, endurance, let's not miss with fos,he us a 100% certainty to become a afl star,
Kicking,speed,marking,endurance, leadership,he has it all.

I saw Clarke interviewed, one of the best in the business, and its a decent field, at giving the impression of saying something while saying nothing.
