2024 Draft Thread

[WesternTiger]

The Blair bias to Smilie with the family link could be either a help or hindrance

Or nothing at all but the only thread the media have to tie someone to us at pick 6.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

We should get three good mids with 1, 6 and 10 - so unless Blair rates FOS way above, no trade.

It's all about the talls taken in the top 10.

If Tauru is taken top 5 - one of Smith, Langford or Smillie will be there at 6. (But Smith certain top 5 I reckon)

If Armstrong is taken top 9 - one of Smillie, Allan, Lindsay or Reid will be there at 10.

Say the worst case of no talls being taken in the top 10. Smillie will be there at 6 and Reid at 10.

A Lalor, Smillie, Reid combo is not my favourite of mids, but worst case its solid.

We end up with those 3.
We should trade out all of our picks.
Lalor @1
Langford or Smith or Taru @6
Travs or Armstrong or Allan @10.

Would prefer Langford to Smilie

So does Blair

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Very much hope we draft talent (eg Lalor, FOS, Smith, Hotton).
I am desperate for some Izak Rankine's or Bobby Hills to replace what we have lost.
We have enough vanilla already without drafting more (Smillie).

We couldve had Bobby Hill at then end off 22.
Clarke said No

I don't want us to do a trade with Norf for their pick 2, because Carlton have got pick 3.
I'm still having nightmares that we selected Ben Lennon with pick 12 and they got Cripps with 13.

**** Carlton, I hate them.

We all hate Cartoon but with pick 2 we could land Lalor with 1 then FOS or Langford or Jagga with 2

Would prefer Langford to Smilie

Which one has the better AFL career?

Adelaide may be forced to give up a future second-round pick to move two spots up this year’s draft order as part of a bold play for Victorian midfielder Jagga Smith.
The Crows currently hold pick 4 in next Wednesday’s national draft but have held discussions with North Melbourne about the possibility of trading up to pick 2.

It is believed that the player in Adelaide’s sights is Smith, a prolific ball-winning midfielder who captained Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships.

Rival clubs believe the Crows are fearful that Carlton would select Smith at pick 3 if Adelaide remains at pick 4.

Smith has been arguably the best-performed underage footballer in the country this year, with recruiters describing him as a “bankable” high-end prospect and future AFL captain.

The 18-year-old would add a different dynamic to the Crows’ midfield with his speed and agility.

He averaged 33.3 disposals, 7.9 clearances and 154 ranking points from 12 games for the Oakleigh Chargers in the Coates Talent League this year.

It is understood that Adelaide recently offered North Melbourne pick 4 and two future third-round selections in exchange for pick 2, but the offer was knocked back.

The Kangaroos are believed to be eyeing pick 4 and a future second-round selection to get the deal done.


The pre-draft pick swap window closed last Friday, but clubs are still able to make live trades during the draft.

Richmond is still expected to take midfielder-forward Sam Lalor with the No.1 pick.

North Melbourne has been linked to midfielder Finn O’Sullivan in recent days if it holds on to pick 2, despite long being favoured to select exciting 193cm utility Alix Tauru.

If both are available, the Crows should take...​

If Adelaide was to beat Carlton to Smith, the Blues could nab South Australian Sid Draper.

Carlton coach Michael Voss and list manager Nick Austin flew to Adelaide in the past week to meet with the explosive midfielder.

If North Melbourne was to overlook Tauru at pick 2, he would not be expected to get past Melbourne at pick 5 given the Demons are big fans of the Gippsland Power high-flyer.

Richmond looks almost certain to select big-bodied midfielder Josh Smillie with pick 6, while Brisbane Lions father-son prospect Levi Ashcroft is also expected to receive a bid within the first six picks.

Didnt lolnorf say they wanted 2 first rounders in 2024 superdraft for pick 2?
Crows giving up pick 4 and future picks is a weird play for pick 2

 

[tigerman]

We all hate Cartoon but with pick 2 we could land Lalor with 1 then FOS or Langford or Jagga with 2

As long as we don't pick another Lennon/lemon and Carlton pick a jet.

People have made comment about Hotel Langford's endurance off a good 2klm time trial, but Jagga only ran 3 secs more but nobody's giving him the same wrap.

Weird.

Weird.

Smillie's not far behind but according to the experts he has major running concerns.

 

[Steely Danzig]

Flags won by Carlton since the Lennon/Cripps draft: 0

Flags won by Richmond since the Lennon/Cripps draft: 3

Yeah truly the stuff of nightmares.

 

[Spirit of Jack]

One thing I cannot understand with this drafts depth, and the dire state of our list - is commentators of all types saying will we obviously trade out of our last few picks. Why? To get an unknown future first round pick in a shallower more comprised 2025 draft? I just don't get the logic.
