Yeah I really think Clarko's gonna do a Micky and get sacked. Too long stalling this club.

2024 Draft Thread
- Thread starter Mr T.
- Start date
Nature of this draft really.
North probably had M Whitlock ranked maybe 10-12 or so. Given needs and getting someone in a year earlier they'll see it as a win.
They've recruited experience this off-season so will be expected to finally bounce.
But makes total sense for us. We'd gone tall all the key running players were gone.
And as you say, our 2nd will be very late 20's.
Also, good to have you back brother!
Agreed. I think some are throwing their toys out the pram, but we have hit the draft in the right way.
2 kpfs addresses that need
1 kpd - albeit with an injury concern, the concussions are absolutely a concern, but he was so pumped to be picked by us. Massive talent if he can get over the concussions, could be an absolute steal
1 small mid forward - again injury issues, but he has massive upside
2 big bodied mids
Not sure whats not to like, sure I'd have liked a couple of different players, but we have addressed most of our list needs. Now onto a bit more speed tomorrow night, and trading back our pick.
Lot of pre meditated n hyped up tripe. Interviews with the draftees is o.k. but the faux n pre rehearsed pile ons for the cameras are getting fairly pathetic when you get to 9 or 10 of them. Nearly as bad as the AFL mandated last second timer before the pick is locked in while all the recruiters are sitting around for 3 minutes picking their dates waiting for Dilligan to prance out with his scrap of paper to make the announcement. Only bothered watching this year coz we've got a massive draft hand to start a rebuild with. But it was simply 3 hours of meedjia *smile* that could have been done in an hour
They are shitt
They will finish next to us and Wc.
Blair has ripped them.
Even they finish 10th we get pick 8
I think I've sussed it. By taking North's first round draft pick we can now afford them to steal the spoon in 2025 and we will still get the first two picks in next year's draft. Bloody brilliant.
Having to have St Johns at every practice and game for the next few years doesn't seem too swift though.

EssendonSo who's most likely to come with an F1 tomorrow ? Wake up Clarke !
It shows that they happy to take 6 new kids into next Year and take a possible 4-5 tip end kids next yearSo who's most likely to come with an F1 tomorrow ? Wake up Clarke !
1 pick Sharp
3 pick Essendon
6 pick North's
Reckon his old man might have been pissed at us for not picking him, at least for the cameras anyway.
So who's most likely to come with an F1 tomorrow ? Wake up Clarke !
I reckon the bummers, Sydney, Saints, Geelong will all be considering it. If we trade back a couple of times and end up with Boxshall, Unwin or Hayes, I'll be pretty happy.
Because you can't afford during a rebuild kids leaving half through it.
I'm rapt no SA, No Tassie, No WA.
All Vic kids
