2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
I still think somehow we will get FOS ,,pick shuffling with north and another.
Hey all - love the draft and have seen a ton of games this year.
I was originally out on Smillie, but after going back on the season I'd love to get him. I think his athleticism is underrated and he has excellent composure. Was quieter at the champs however metro's team was overstacked with mids.
Compare this to Bo Allan who is a prime athlete for sure, but he has very limited skill or composure at the moment which I'm not keen on at all.
Also keen on Travaglia. Incredible player who will only grow into his body - think he would start at HB but eventually be a mid who can play anywhere (like he did for the pioneers).

If it went the way Cal has it and Lalor goes at 1 and follows his order I’d then take Tauru at 7. Then Lindsay then Berry/Reid.
Then Hynes ( if available). Then whoever tall wise take your pick. And possibly Dobbo last pick but assume we’ll trade that

I too reckon Cal has struggled big time this year - far more than usual. I don't like his picks for us. In an alternate scenario - if you take the pick before Twomey's RFC selection - our draft suddenly looks 100% better - for me anyway...
1. Lalor
7. Langford
12. Allan
14. Lindsay
21. Hynes
23. Faull
27. Hannaford
28. Alger

Doubt it personally as one of Lalor, Jagga, Langford, FOS, Draper or Smillie will be available at #6.
jeez Lalor, Tauru, Lindsay, Faull (and joEBerry) would be akin to getting a chromeolly Redline BMX with black tuffs for xmas in the 80's
I'd take Tauru at #6 over Langford or Smilie, not the other four though.
He's linked us to Lindsay. I wonder why. Allan was a moral if he got to us, wasn't he? A moral, I'd have thought. Lindsay, eh. Interesting. I like Lindsay so I think that might be good if it's right.
It was:
Lalor
Smillie
Allan
Probably a tall
Now it's:
Lalor
Smillie
Lindsay? Says Cal with Allan off the board.
Probably a tall - Shanahan, says Cal.
We have been linked to Whitlocks in the past. We think Alger is in our sights, don't we? Trainor seems odd to me but who knows? Dattoli. Dunno.

Extremely healthy way of looking at it. We're loaded up to give ourselves the best shot.
