2024 Draft Thread

[Mr Brightside]

Not to bad if we are talking about Allan ,but he is also strong in the air ,and at the contest,,,it looks like we are going for hard types

Yeah l think Bartel,he looks like he can play anywhere and be really good at any position.

The little bit I saw he looks a beast , perfect part of a finals midfield

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

Still waiting Santa! Perhaps a Lalor Tauru plus might ease the pain? Very triggering post @eZyT

Twomey still going with Smillie at 7 for us with Allan getting through to our next pick , still also going with Shanahan to us

Whats that mean?
Doesn't Stkilda have pick 7??
And why do we need pick 8??
Blair won't lose any picks

 

[Sintiger]

Dusty is going to give Sam his jumper tomorrow night

How do we know this?

Cal Twomey reported it. Cotchin & Riewoldt will also hand over jumpers

Dunno if it's good Intel but I know it's incomprehensible writing. Wtf is he talking about?

no pressure kids...

 

[Dev Tiger]

I don't love the Shanahan link. He is a decent hit up forward and a nice kick for goal but I don't think his competivness and workrate is as good as J Whitlock and Faull. I wouldn't be taking him at 10 or 11.

 

[JimJessTorp]

I watched Smilie's draft highlight vid and I get the impression he has no explosive pace from the contest. Is that what others see?

 

[Mr Brightside]

Hopefully the lads aren’t handing them their old numbers , they’d need a defib machine

I’ve seen this mentioned elsewhere so I think what he’s saying is:

Saints want three picks tomorrow night - so they’ll swap their 8 for our 11 & 23 (with their 32 probably coming back to us). But only if there is a surprise slider that we don’t think will last to 10.

I don’t think this guy has much intel as he puts out quite a lot of this kind of stuff, ultimately hoping that infinite monkeys with infinite draft boards will eventually hit on the correct pick swaps.

100%.
Jagga gives our midfield a point of difference.
As it stands-Taranto/Hopper/Meatball(aging)/McCauliffe.
And if add Lalor & Smillie it all looks one dimensional.
He's been the most consistent performer this year and no injury history.

How are Lalor with his ability to break away and a 6'5" mid not points of difference? McAuliffe isn't slow either.

At least our kicking skills will be better. Taranto, Dow, Baker, even at times Pickett...not one of them would be considered good users by foot.

Although, I'd imagine Lalor is gonna spend a fair bit of time up forward until his tank builds.

Then as Lalor reaches out to take the jumper from Dusty, the great man pulls out the big don't argue and says "I'm still the king b*tch..."
