2024 Draft Thread

[year of the tiger]

10 & 18 for 2 & F2 Is not going to happen as why would North disadvantage themselves by so much?
It's a bigger if than me winning Tatts.

I'm assuming their F2 is 28 and they would be short overall by a pick 24. 1

10 AND 18 for 2 and they're still losing by pick 61.

But who

Harry Armstrong not in the discussion by Twomey for top 10.

Every snipet of information he doesn't say is as big as what he does.

Yep - he is basically saying the top 10 best players will be exclusively mids apart from possibly Taru and Kako. I know it’s rankings but still, it doesn’t make sense unless you can match it to clubs.

EDIT - I think bringing this back to the basic points being made, I mean the point of this discussion is to point out that the points allocation is nowhere to be seen.

 

[Willo]

Anyone policing how many times the word point is being used?

Point is ok, points (plural ) apparently isn’t .
Anyway I believe the point has been made by both parties.
Let’s all move on to the actual draft. Pick swaps and players

May have to look at a few Phantom Drafts and/or power rankings

So what's your consensus Willo ? Will we trade up or not? I want two of FOS, Lalor and Draper, but i don't think it's possible without giving up early picks 6 and 10/11 and a few peanuts in return for pick 2

 

[Dyer'ere]

Here's a player everybody loves. Not available to RFC, unfortunately. Your man is tied to Esserdun. A tragedy.

 

[Willo]

So what's your consensus Willo ? Will we trade up or not?

I’m quite happy to keep and use all our picks.
Unles there is a very very good deal to be had. Not just evens but overwhelmingly in our favour.
If that’s getting p2, and a f1 from #lolnorf but giving up p6 and p18 or 20 I’d still be reluctant. p10 and p18 ok..
Picks 23/24 if either attracts a good offer ie 2025 1st. Probably depending on which team, it maybe considered. A team projected to be the top of the Eight, demand more or they can GAGF.
As I said, overwhelmingly in our favour. Or no deal

Smillie
Tauru

Possibles
Lombard
Kako
Travaglia
Reid

There is your top 12.

 

[123cups]

Another one that doesn’t understand the system.

I’ll repeat it again… it’s doesn’t matter when bids are done on academy & father/sons.. the same pool will still be there.

Yeah, I don't understand why the idea of bids affecting picks is still brought up. Unless I'm mistaken, it doesn't make any difference in any way.

If Pick 6 becomes "Pick 7", it's still the 6th pick. It doesn't mean we drop back in the draft.

 

[Don’t Argue]

Liam George has played a lot of junior footy with most of the top end players in this years draft.
Reckons FOS will go pick 1 and that Hotton is a freak and could be anything. Also a big wrap for Armstrong.

I'm a bit surprised Tauru isn't a top 10 lock.

If North retain their pick #2, he probably goes there.

If North snags our pick #6, he'll either go to the Dees at pick #5 or the Kangas at #6.

If he somehow isn't picked by then, surely the Saints pounce at #7 or #8.

And if all else fails, the Dees have another look at #9.

But if he magically makes it all the way to #10, we've got ourselves a unicorn.

(That would be technically outside the top 10 accounting for matched bids.)

This is only part of the whole podcast. As I recall he said that Richmond and St Kilda were looking at him in the context of Melbourne’s interest.

He is well in the mix for top 10

Armstrong averages 3 goals a game!! how can he not be in top 10 discussions?

 

[tigertime2]

No Point

 

[jokershoppe]

That’s disgusting!

What's discusting is Brisbane getting Ashcroft for pick 20,that's robbery.

But the academy/FS picks don't count, so that's only a top 9.

 

[nikolasmia]

Because he plays like Kent Kingsley

 

[toothless]

Port apparently keen on your boy Tobie.

they keep recruting half backs and yet keep scratching their heads why they can't win a flag...

 

[Tony Braxton-Hicks]

Essendon looking to trade back into the draft. Shanahan is their target.

Can't be. Shanahan didn't play for our VFL.

 

[Steely Danzig]

Anyone policing how many times the word point is being used?

Should be points for it.

 

[Steely Danzig]

Will Armstrong's nick name be Stretch or is that reference to obscure for anyone who wasn't a kid in the 70's & 80's?

Reid apparently the best player in the draft. Source: One of his team mates.
