2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
I liked the rules they brought in ,more one on one and less congestion.
Plenty of decent player's to select from Draft time .
I hope we take at least 5 in this draft and even consider trading next years first to get another early pick .

I think the possibilities of whom we pick up and just a reasonable year with injuries is a exciting prospect.
I reckon its a exaggeration saying jagga smith was clean as a whistle but he got that slippery knack of getting first to most ball ground gets and already has a big tank,testing will be interesting as highlights isn't great.

peeps are desperate to find a reason not to declare Jagga Smith the best player in this pool.
hes 100% this years bluechip standout Daicos/Ashcroft/Harry Shekel
what he do today? 33 d and 9-10 clearances and clean in the wet.
on top of a 150 disposal month of footy?
this kid does as he pleases against boys, and will win a B&F against men in his first 3 seasons.
when he gets a contested possession, he puts on the jets and flows into the space like water downhill.
*smile* I hope we grab him

I didn't watch the game, just wondering where his disposal was focused. Was he in and under and then handballing back to a running player out the back of the stoppage. Just wondering why his metres gained were so low. 57m off 32/33 disposals is low, but the clearance numbers were really good
He played well. Lot of constructive hand balls and whilst his kicks were short, they too were fairly meaningful despite the low distance/metres gained.
He runs and runs and runs. Not elite quick, but big engine.
Angus Clarke = Tom Brown MK11.
Dodson will climb in rankings.
Coming around a bit to Draper. Elite foot skills, good pace, reads the play well. Just reckon he’s like his brother: bit soft. Anyway.
Langford very good. Ticks many boxes but a bit slow ? Not sure.
Nicholls. Very poor first half. Very good second half.
Travaglia best for VC with Langford.
Max Whitlock ok. Not much from Jack.
Geez Welsh has a head you want to punch. (Old man is a dhead - personal experience.)
Jacques was good I thought. Charleson is an interesting type. Barker might make a hard running wingman.

Ended up the highest rated tall forward for Metro. Pity he missed those 2 set shots in the 3rd qtr, would have franked a pretty good game.
=#3 for score involvements which translates well as that high forward role.
Was disappointed in Stumph and McKenzie. Neither worked nearly hard enough on a day where work rate was critical.
For Allies, Shanahan is very good. Great hands and jumps hard at the ball. Will go early.
Geez! Liftmykiltup is lots of fun to watch. Strong on a lead, good mark n very tidy set shot kick, can crunch a body around the ground ball. But so far that's about it, he's still very unsure in his ball use n decision making in live play at ground level. Got a hell of a long way to go before he's fit to polish Kouta's boots n that's not being rude about the fella, it's simply the reality of a code hopper who didn't grow up playing Aussie rules.
Was told his broken finger is far more serious than your garden variety break. 50/50 to get back for the national carnival
Thought Travaglia and Draper lifted their stock more than most.
Jagga Smith continues to show that he is an elite mid and wins his own footy,
Second game was so much better but that’s because things dried out.
Really like Joe Berry and still in on Xavier Lindsay.
Good draft coming. Runs deep. Might be devoid of generational superstars but still like it.
It’s not a bad shout. Everyone forgets hoe good Scully was at Melbourne before injuries ruined him.
I think Jagga has better AFL potential than Scully when drafted.
