2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
My next question - Whitlock or Allan?
In fact I would argue we might even look at Berry at 11.
At 10 or 11 I presume you're asking ?
Personally, think that's overs for Whitlock J.
What do you reckon ?
After the academy kids are taken, there might only be handy plodders available outside the first 3 or 4 picks. Bunch of later first round picks in a skinny draft might not be worth much at all. Could be looking at Meyer, Patto, Chooka, value all over again next year.
Bepenbs what the intel says on other cluds taking them with their picks.
I'm up for Travaglia, Allan, Derry or Whitcock at 10 or 11.
I see what you did there General Patton. One of your best.
That actually hurt my head trying to type out and get auto correction on my phone to stop *smile* with the words.
He was treacle slow ,Dodson has much better pretty much in every area by quite a margin
Suppose there's a shuffle up in the middle of the top ten.
Suppose Taylor now has a crack at FOS at #5 and takes him. That frees Lindsay or Langford to St Kilda. And that frees Reid to RFC. What's that - RFC has been on the phone to Reid? Interesting. Are we taking Reid at #10/11?
If FOS gets through to 5 he may get to 6. And then RFC takes FOS and Smillie appears on Taylor's and SOS's radar. And Reid gets to 10. Have we been on the phone to Reid? Are we taking Reid at #10? Not if Smillie gets through IMO. And then it may be at #11.

That draft was incredibly poor with almost no good players apart for first few,even if we had 10 picks ,9 out of 10 would be busts,probably worst draft ever candidate.
I’ll be expecting us to to trade at least one pick into next year and to split another.
Who says next years draft is skinny?
On your comment on the value of 2nd round picks. Where there is a market to provide higher points value, points trades will always be available to clubs. There will be 1st round picks sold to the highest bidder as usual.
Just on mail and scuttlebutt.
I find it very interesting that a certain poster has linked RFC to Hotton and even given details of specific links to Joe Derry.

Yeah Whitlock. I think it’s overs but if we want him not sure he lasts to 18. So if we want him will need to pull the trigger there.
Personally I wouldn’t that early.
At 10 & 11 we will have a great choice. For me it’s 2 of Reid, Allan or Berry.
Add Lalor and FOS plus two of the above and we are off to a flying start.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
You've already made your point about the long-term effects of concussion.
You're wrong.The key to thinking you're right & everyone else isn't is to post as much as you can in this thread. Posting with conviction is important.
FWIW I think I'm right that nobody here has a clue who we're taking at pick one yet let alone beyond that.
We know.
It's Lalor at 1.
At 6 it's FOS if he's there, otherwise Smillie.
At 10 it's Smillie/Allan/Reid and at 11 it's one of them or Whitlock.
At 18 we're hoping for Hotton or Berry. Otherwise the other Whitlock.
At 20 it's Whitlock or Sims or we trade it for an F1.
At 23 it's Sims or Alger.
24 we sell.
Simples.
Hercule,
Do you make anything of the fact Jagga features in the new RFC membership video? (as does Matt Whitlock and one other).
Is this a breadcrumb, an easter egg, a Conca like stuff up or just me postulating nonsensically due to pre-draft fatigue?
Nah mate, Cherry Ripes all the way, followed by Polly Waffles & then (the real) Snowballs. Sugar high for hours
Would it kill you to be emphatic? One lousy emphasis FFS.
If you'll forgive a departure from my usual grammar commie ways, I believe it's spelled "Derry".
