I love cinnamon and iced donuts. Stable. Solid. Reliable high performers. I don't want a broken, puffy, mushy jam one that drips onto the floor or can't get through the oven heat with the other donuts.

2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
Given we had Jagga play 4 VFL games for us but then been linked to everyone bar him at 1, I think it’s almost safe to assume we don’t have him in our top 2 picks
Norf negotiating through the media. We can be pretty confident that 2 and F1 for 6 & 11 is on the table. Maybe as the monk says with something later from our end but that's the guts of the deal. Norf want in on this draft. They currently have picks 2 & 62. They tried and failed to trade their F1 for 13.
I love our likely options at 10 & 11 in this draft: Hotton, Lindsay, Allan, an outside chance of Armstrong. It'd sting to give up one of those and possibly Smillie or Langford but to get FOS it's worth it. We could potentially trade up with say 18 & 23 for 13 and get our pick 11 man anyway.
Norf will rise next year but it's still probably a top-10, even top-5. (I think we'll try to trade it for Cadman anyway.)
If we get pick 2 you can bet your house we're taking Lalor and FOS. We're not that keen on Smith.

Depends on how keen #Lolnorf are to split that pick 2. If they're desperate to get away from over reaching with their single premium pick this year to be able to get the bloke they want plus another dollop of early cream. Then they're the one's that have to come up with the sparkly shiny bonus of temptation.
Why so confident on those picks? Smith has not done a thing wrong
North didn't win a game up to the bye this year, then only won 3 from 12 after the bye and those three games included West Coast and us. Total winning margin in those three games was 26 points.
They lost three games by under a goal during those last 12 games.
Even assuming they double their wins in a full 2025 year, and have a Collingwood luck run in the close games, then they will still not make the top 8 so the pick at best would be 10
I've heard. Smith has not done anything wrong but he doesn't have the ceiling of several others in this draft. I don't think anyone will take him in the top 5.
True true, but the reality of this trade is that North need itvto happen way more than we do.
I suspect we'd be quite happy taking our current hand into this draft.
North on the other hand would be paying overs using pick 2 on Tauru. If we don't do the deal, and Norf still take Tauru at 2, that means that the top end mids all fall one more spot in the draft, with us waiting with pick 6, and we stil hold all the lower first round picks.
If i was the Tige's i'd be holding our hand right up to selecting our first player on Nov 20, with Norf then given the mandatory 5 mins to decide on whether they want 2 top end players out of this draft or not. If they use their selection, well who cares. We still hold a damned good hand with all selections in hand.
Really imo Norf have backed themselves into a corner by trading out their 2nd rounder which could have secured them a decent tall prospect.
I was about to ask what further possible trading up we could do with those latter picks. Still a bit of pick trading to come to further strengthen our positioning of picks to come.
Our F3 is already gone to Freo as part of the Bolton trade.
#lolnorf could always look at trading their p2 and/or F1 + to Melbourne or st kilda. If they were interested of course. If they get knocked backfrom them..well there is only us to deal with
And yet the inverse in some respects with Donut Guts ? Weird also.

Is it unfair though? Jagga doesn’t seem to be getting discussed in the top 4 on current club intel
