2024 Draft Thread

[Scoop]

Grand Final nervous.

Defining night for the club.

Generational importance.

Historic. No other club has chosen this path.

Will alter the definition and strategy of rebuilds for future generations.

That's the sort of reasoning you use to not pick someone when there is plenty of choice, which there seems to be.

Like Sam Mitchell and Tyler Sonsie.

Geez posters Jayfox & Hopper returning. Very 2004 vibes.

Yes mate. Was lucky enough to work for a decade at 2 AFL clubs in Recruitment and Opposition Analysis. We weren't supposed to post on forums so went into hiding.

Whats the risk Smille turns into a Jack Watts?

Decent player n had a decent career. Not quite what the fans would want from their top 10 pick, definitely not what anyone wants from the number 1 pick. As Max would say, missed it by that much.

So if Duz is presenting the jumper it looks like we're not resting the #4.....which I don't mind. Time to fill #8, #9, #11 and#12 again.

About time. Was getting sick of your inane PM's Purple Cape. Now leave the voodoo worship altar for 5 minutes and give the good people of PRE your thoughts. Hurry up. We've only got a few hours.

Weddle had elite endurance and was strong overhead, probably rate his kicking a fraction better than Allan. My big concern with Allan is his disposal when kicking at full pace, this is a tough one to tidy up although not impossible.

What was Allan's testing numbers? There is no issue with attack on footy or in aerial contests. I think his kicking is being overdone.

He could be presenting #36. Everyone has to earn their stripes just like the great man did.

Spoke with a local footy coach this morning who has coached with/against many of the draftees as they came through as kids. FWIW - he says he spoke to a Saints recruiter yesterday and they have cooled on Smillie because his interview was full of excuses for his moderate 2024 form drop-off. This matched his view that he's just a little bit lazy. That said, he also added that he's barely seen a better pure footballer in his time in footy than Smillie if somebody can get the penny to drop re what's required of him.

Any chance he's tanking to try and get to the tiges?

Stay calm old fella. Watch us take advantage of some shuffles.

Well that would get StKiddenme out of the way in a hurry. Now we just hope Smelbourne has enough big bodied mids in Clarry, Peetracca n Viney to not be interested at 9 n we can have the big Smillie Willy at 10 or 11. Strawberry jam on toast.

6.20 or so for 2k and sub 3 I think.

You sound confident in live trading of picks tonight?

Thanks Red.

Lock him in at 10.

I heard on SEN this morning that we are contemplating if we should give him #4 or rest it.

No interest in drafting interstate kids these days.. just creates headaches down the track with home clubs coming hard for them. Hope we avoid
