2024 Draft Thread

That only favours the Crows what do lolnorf get out of it by moving from 2 to pick 4?
Lolnorf had said they’d trade pick 2 for 2 first rounders
Seems they’ve got no other takers for it
Yeah lm not flexible ,l don't want them at all,UNLESS we draft them,then l hope like hell lm wrong .
Dodson l like ,l think he has a future
With the exception of Jagga I feel exactly the same way, I spent some time watching Shanahan in the VFL and despite hitting the scoreboard none of his goals were cut from the cloth of a true power forward. He's crafty but you have to be exceptional to get by on this alone, Gunston is actually a rarity where this is concerned.
Armstrong looks pretty vanilla to me, maybe you get a player in that Amiss mould, that's still possible but I still prefer using a second rounder on Faull who stands every chance to be the better player. Jonty is more mobile but has inferior goal kicking, I think I would back myself to refine his kicking technique because you can't just instill a run and carry mindset into Armstrong, that simply won't happen.
I've already said enough on Smillie, at pick 10 I won't be too upset, at pick 6 ahead of Langford would be a mistake. Langford possesses elite kicking and is very strong overhead, there's options as a wingman, a mid or a medium forward. We have to play the percentages because Smillie is a midfield or bust proposition.

That's the thing everyone has been asking. North would do it to get a 3rd pick in the draft but Adelaide don't really have one to offer them. They also have a very skinny 2025 draft position.
They would have to involve a 3rd club and use their F1 in some way but i reckon it is very unlikely
Jonty has done well this year,missed a lot of the early part of the season ,was another under done at the champs,and was tagged teamed a lot in games.
I have him and Jack Whitlock as the 2 l would want as key forwards .
On Nth swapping out of pick 2
There is no value dealing with Crows.
Still a chance we may swap..6 and a very late pick if Nth are desperate for 2 talls...but they must have 6 for Tauru...so we would only do it if we really wanted pick 2 to get
either FOS or Draper.
We can already get Smith or maybe Langford with 6...or Smillie or Reid.
Who knows...we may value FOS or Draper highly.
Will find out soon.

The value is that the Crows would trade an F2 (they'd need to find one first) with 4. North gets the Tauru they want plus a pick. They can trade their F1 to get back in the late frst round and still have two second rounders next year.
We're not trading pick 6. If they want two talls they can have 10 and 20.
But they wont get Tauru with 10..so that does not work.
Like I said...unlikely we trade for 2....unless a particular player is wanted who will not get to 6....FOS or Draper.
You're saying there is no value for North dealing pick 2 with the crows for pick 4, but there's value in it for them taking our "pick 6 and a very late pick"????
If they want Tauru specifically they trade with Adelaide. If they want two talls they trade with us.
Interesting to watch Cals delivery 1-5.
As I suspected he really is reaching given that he has been unable to penetrate the wall of silence that is the new Richmond.
He really has no idea what is going to happen.
Ashcroft and Marshall still a big chance to have their names called out early.
