2024 Draft Thread

[Smoking Aces]

I can’t see us taking Shanahan. Well I hope not anyway. Bruise free forwards don’t win you big games.

 

[Smoking Aces]

I would also be very surprised if we passed up on Reid if available from 11 onwards.

 

[caesar]

We can't risks tommorow night.
Fos, plays in bursts low possession winner.
Smillie, big boy in TAC similar to Collier-Dawkins.
Trainor, How many concussions??
Hotton, coming off a knee.
Shannahan, reminds me of Weideman.
Reid, apprantly not hard enough.

We have 8 picks, of course we can take at least some risks.?

If it goes Cal Twomey's way - the picks that I find underwhelming are Shanahan at 11. I see nothing special about him, hope I'm wrong. M.Whitlock - 50/50 proposition at best. Trainor - may never play a game due to concussions. Way, way too much key position risk in a midfielders draft.

Hitting the wrong notes with Cal's batch, there are 2 very obvious paths from here, trade pick 6 for pick 2 and grab Smith or hold our picks and pick Tauru at 6. Shanahan is risky, maybe even risker than someone like Sims who is at least ruck height.

When does Twomey’s full phantom come out?

Especially ones from boys schools.
Reminds me too much of Sam Weideman

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

When does Twomey’s full phantom come out?

He struggled to get 30,
He hasn't got a clue who's going where tommorow.
If we take Jagga at 1, he needs to join me working at the council

 

[Steely Danzig]

Less than 24 hours to go....

I take it you are using the term “working “ ironically?

 

[Smoking Aces]

Does Bo Allen have a bit of Josh Weddle about him?

 

[Dyer'ere]

When does Twomey’s full phantom come out?

He only does 30 these days, I think, Td. He tweaked it tonight. Late mail has landed.

More Reece Conca with the kicks

 

[Steely Danzig]

Saw Alger being compared Kai Lohmann the other day*








*on Big Footy so he's probably more like Ricky Petterd

 

[mad_tiggy911]

I would trade up to get Jagga at 2.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Alger has always struck me as a Frank type. Sure he’s quick but Frank also likes em to be able to catch.

 

[mrposhman]

I like the late mail phantom even less than I liked the original - at least the original had us taking Lindsay. The late picks don’t seem to have changed at all so hopefully he’s just guessing. Would rather trade out pick 28 than take Trainor with his concussion history.

The Demons can GAGF if they take Langford and then Lindsay right before out picks

 

[Don’t Argue]

How many workers does it take to write a post these day Zips?

 

[ToraToraTora]

More Reece Conca with the kicks

From what I can see his kicking is fine. Hardly Duncan Kellaway.
Hes also a physical beast with pace, massive competitor, can mark it, and has a tank.
I dont have a problem with Allan at all.

2026 right.
I know Taranto is still gonna be in there sure. Hopper who knows. Dion probably gone.

Lalor. Smillie. Allan. Greeves. When they all settle into it, that is a virtually unbeatable centre square rotation. Power out the wazooo. Good pace. SIZE omfg. Intimidation factor HIGH.

 

[Judge Smailes]

Less than 24 hours to go....

Such a banger

 

[Redford]

Lalor + Smilie seems like a reasonably high risk combo...
Im really keen on the Lalor + Jagga combo. Seems a much better risk/reward balance. Maybe even worth trading pick 6 for...

And I can't wait until the draft so I can stop obsessively hitting refresh on this thread!

Yeah I don't know if I like the Lalor-Smillie combo either.
