2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
It would want to be a bloody good deal for us to trade up to pick 2 considering the talent that will still be there at pick 6
We have traded away gun players to have this super draft hand , why trade some of it away to move up 4 places when there is not much difference apparently in the top 6 or so anyway.

Yeah get your point , but he's got agility. Players like him it's like the game stops for them.
Wonder if Laloyd was also the head coach of the schools 10m diving squad?
Especially with our slow midfield Taranto Hopper Ross Prestia wed be even slower
True, but it also depends on what the second tier of the deal is. If we end up with the 1-2 punch in this years draft and another 1-2 or 1-4 punch in next years draft as well then it would be well worth considering shifting 6 - 11 this year. Glad it's not me trying to work this stuff out.

Let's suppose, #8, that Thursfield is wedded to Tauru. (Thursfield is linked regularly and relentlessly in scuttlebutt.) It doesn't matter why he wants him - he just wants him. Let's work that scenario.
He can take Tauru at #2. All good.
Or he can trade with RFC to get #6. In which case as you rightly point out Taylor will take Tauru at #5. Disaster for Norfs.
There are few developments. FOS was linked to Carlton at #3 in some media. I gave it zero cred. I thought it was romantic *smile*. (Much as I do links of Thursfield to Trainor.) But there is scuttlebutt around. There is a bit of smoke here.
Suppose RFC is trading up with NMFC for FOS. (We can pretty much bank that scenario wise IMO. Twomey is calling it.) Then CFC is *smile* at #3 if RFC does the business.
Carlton would profit from a threat to Tauru by Taylor. If Taylor threatens the Tauru stock NMFC trades #2 for #3 and #38. Gets guaranteed Tauru AND #38 instead of Tauru and nothing. And RFC's FOS play is scuttled.
Inscrutable Taylor. Twomey doesn't seem to have anything and I can't get any sense or frequency with the limited scuttlebutt. Murphy Reid has been linked somewhere.
I'm getting pretty confident that Carlton wants FOS. And will get him at #3 if Thursfield can't get certainty around pick #5.
*If Carlton will get FOS anyway just by holding pick#3 why would they trade up?* They have to scuttle RFC's bid. A bid of #3+38 for #2 might be just the compromise to do it. And gives Thursfield a bit of a face save on what the market may portray as an early Tauru bid.
Can confirm reason for Carlton trade to #3 was for FOS.

Wouldn’t go that far.
But I’d definitely grab him at 10 if available.
Hate Lloyd, but that's a good guy to have as a development coach for a junior.
I like him as a prospect.
Either or both Tauru & Armstrong will be available @ #6
Most likely Whitlock would be available at NM 2nd pick if they traded #2 out.

Terrific mail, thank you, The Sash. And thanks for quoting your source. Anything on who they want now? I guess that's pretty sensitive.
I still reckon this FoS story by Cartoon is a smoke screen propagated by the club to mitigate against RAdelaide trading to 2 to secure Draper…..
There is Zero guarantee we don’t take FoS.
But certainty around Draper who would add instant pizazz to the Boos Midfield that should be contending for top 4.
Still reckon we get 2 and take Lalor and FoS.
Might even get 4 if Radelaide miss Draper and split the pick….. who knows….then we get Mick as well…. Crows might get Allen and Robson…
If North miss Tauru they may get Armstrong and Trainor/Shanahan/ Whitlock……
Reckon the 2 deal works for everyone and I’d be looking for 4.

Stan

Blues are looking for speed and lateral movement. look who they traded out Kennedy a slow mid. they have definitely targeted someone. The 2 players who offer that are Jagga & Draper
If North trade pick 2 and Tauru goes early I will be laughing for a week. Trading a future first is also playing with fire, I'm not sure what Thursty is thinking but something doesn't add up. It almost feels like all the chips are being placed on next season in order to prevent players like LDU from walking.
