2024 Draft Thread

As for Reid. The pot is simple.

Is Purple Cape here? He should join in.

I'm with him on the Reid positioning/running patterns. But Reid has electric hands. And. Can and will defend. Values. I like Reid but I don't think he's a mid.
You told me you hated Reid almost as much as you hate Smith!

It looks like we will be drafting a bit of muscle and size - we desperately need it. Looking at the RFC back to training photos is like looking at a bunch of anaemic marathon runners (with Macauliffe the exception).
 
So lets say Twomeys hits and guesses is on the money.
And the rumour that we're keen to trade into the stk 8.
Who could it be?
Obvs theyll be gone before our next at 10.
So Lindsay or Tauru.
Both would be welcome picks.
And worth.a trade with the saints
Tauru would have to be the priority but why not pick him at 6?

I'm only following the twomey phantom amd using it as a guide.
But
1. We can take Tauru at 6
2. I suspect Smillie is available at 10. Doubt he's taken by Saints. Ive posted i think its 80% chance he,s still on the board
3. Allan is a tall mid so poss backup if Smillie gone (possible of course we take both)

So it seems the target of this potential trade is Lindsay.

Bit of talk comparing Shanahan and Armstrong.

It's a good comparison. Reckon they are very similar players.

Kick well, lead-up well, balanced etc. Neither get a lot of air.

Would class Shanahan a better contested mark and a better ground game.

Wouldn't take him at 11, but he is a richer man's Armstrong ILO.

I'm looking into this Shanahan. Can he catch? Yes, actually he can. If you don't heat him he will catch it cleanly. Can he jump? Yes. He can. He can get air. Can he jump AND catch? Nah. Seems nobody can these days.

He's very clean at lawn height and his hands are quick and smart. He can kick. Clean and smart.

I may have been a bit closed-minded about this kid. He can actually catch. Not many of em can. Good smarts. August birthday. Still growing. I'm having another look.
That type of language will get you tarred and feathered ole-boy. Will we see you and your Bell Epoch moustache tomorrow?
 
The draft is tomorrow night. Who went to bed early? Fess up. Who did it? Who's not on the thread now? Can we track them to other platforms?

There's been a lot of narcolepsy shaming here. Let's see it through. WHO IS ASLEEP? ARE YOU ASLEEP? EVEN NOW? YOU MUST BE DEAF, YOU GERIATRIC *smile*.

I am sure despite the heated debate on personal preferences everyone will get behind and support whoever we draft 😎
Hi, it seems like its your first week here on PRE.

Let me warn you, if you're a parent of Smillie, Shanahan or one of the other unwanted, probably don't log on here until......48 hours after a rising star nomination....
