2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.

Yeah just got mentioned by Sinner. Must be why it was a bit hard finding something about it on the googly thing.
Must call Ashcrofts name #1.
1. Retains integrity of the draft.
2. Makes Brisbane pay as fair as possible price for him.
3. Puts less industry pressure on our selected player at #2.
Bully,
What do you make of Draft Central having Matt Whittock's ceiling as Elite compared to Jack's above average?
I have seen neither play, which one would you pick?
I'd be tempted to go one key forward and then Matt in the 20's as he is somewhat of a swingman and can play back or forward?
Athletic Matt Jack
Aerial: Above average Elite
Agility: Elite Average
Endurance: Average Average
Speed: Above Average Average
Strength: Below Average Above Average
On Field
Ceiling: Elite Above Average
Consistency: Average Above Average
Contested: Below Average Above Average
Disposal: Average Average

Jack has the better goal kicking technique, he would be my first preference but Matt could feasibly improve that area of his game as we've see with Ben King. I draw quite a few parallels with those two in this instance. Plenty of upside for Matt, maybe even more versatility, he would still be a solid pick in the event Jack gets snapped up early.
2 of Faull, J Whitlock or Armstrong for mine.
With Gray, Bauer, Fawcett as well, that's a decent 6 to be developing with.
Then Lynch, Kosi and Lefau.
We've got some young blood, old bods and tweeners.
We don't lose anything
But if Brisbane didn't get those picks off us for pick 20, they would be in minus points not only this year but next year too.
We helped them.
We could've not traded for pick 20 and made a bid on Ashcroft.
They would've got Ashcroft bit might’ve missed out on Marshall and had no picks next year till they 2nd or 3rd rounds.
That's my understanding how it works
WIth so many picks I've found myself reading mock drafts - and often going - yeah nah, that's not who I would select for us. The two players that many mocks send our way are Trainor and Dodson. I don't want either, the former due to the concussion risk, the latter because I'd rather bring in more developed rucks.
I definitely have preferences for some players over others, but actually I'd be happy with most top 25 ranked players. e.g. Reid is one I would be happy with, but not with an early pick. I'd be happy with Jagga, Draper, Langford, at 6, but not at pick 1 or even 2 (i.e. I'd rather have Lalor and FOS if we had 1&2).
I'm interested in hearing about any top 30ish ranked players that PRE'enders would prefer not to draft with our current batch of picks?

Thought lolnorf were after 2 picks in first round 2024 for their pick 2 nothing less
Not pick swap with crows for 4 F1
IMO lolnorf playing games for pick 2
Will give our picks a crack -
1 - Sam Lalor
6 - Jagga Smith (Think he gets through as I think Melbourne will take Langford or Smillie)
10 - Harry Armstrong (I believe he slides and will still be available here)
11 - Murphy Reid
18 - Jack Whitlock
20 - Jesse Dattoli
23 - Kayle Gerreyn
24 - Trade

So I gather no draft pick swaps happened at all now for any clubs - have I missed something.
Down tools then till draft night.

There is talk that in that scenario they will use the future pick to try and get another first round pick this year. I wonder who Adelaide are keen on as Draper would almost definitely get through to their pick 4.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The points value of picks is really interesting. We should discuss this. Does anyone have any strong views?
That's thrown the cat amongst the pigeons.
We'd better restart our phantom draft.
