2024 Draft Thread

[Redford]

Hopefully better than your grammar gramps.

(Capital G there thanks Principal Nobets. )

Yes his 15th & final phantom draft tomorrow should give us a pretty good idea.

He only does one phantom. The day or so leading up to the draft.

The previous are just his rankings.

He'll always gets his phantom pretty much spot on inside the first 12-14 picks.

This year should be no different.

 

[Steely Danzig]

Well, yeah. Other teams have picks too.

Bloody disgrace - corrupt AFL screwing us over yet again.

Keen to know the difference between a Phantom & a ranking?

A Phantom can attempt to overthrow a board.
A ranking is where his draft picks will be. Eg Cleve Hughes at Pick 8.

There are 7 locked in for top 9 (outside bids):

Lalor, Jagga, Smillie, Langford, Draper, FoS, Tauru.

Is he a lock to go in the next 2 picks before our 10? Not sure about that, pretty even mix.

As Jack said to us earlier, every punter here has him in their top 10 but no one thinks a team in the top 10 will take him?

What two players are going before him? Reid? Allan? Your dud half-backlia? Armstrong? Are you taking any of them before him?

Bloody disgrace - corrupt AFL screwing us over yet again.

I've written a sternly-worded letter, zig.

I just had a vision of the Hitler hairdo guy who tried to turf Dimma just prior to the premiership run, these purges for the people are generally not the stuff of fairytales.

Just imagine what we could have done if we'd had a Focus on Footy.

Maybe 5 in 5 years!

You're shooting at rainbows Gloop.

You seriously reckon 2 of those blokes who have been playing midfield roles this year and have low 6 minute 2klm times aren't gonna be anything but midfielders ? Cmon on now Gloop. Not your best old boy.

I don’t think FOS is a midfielder. Does his best work on the outside. Watch him live, never gets 1st hands on midfield clearance. More of an outside player HFF.

The thing is that Blair has spoken about how the draft should work. He has also spoken about the integrity of the process and that he wouldn’t give an undertaking not to take a particular player, as part of an agreement to trade picks.

If Blair believes Ashcroft is the best player he will bid on him there. Which brings me back to the Viking and Sam Marshall.

Viking and Marshall?

 

[Tigatale]

FOS.


Well, yeah. Other teams have picks too.

How dare they!
