Analysis Western Bulldogs 2024 Mock Draft

[Mojorisin]

Pick 40 Carlton select Noah Mraz
198cm defender

One of the only true key defenders capable of locking down a forward and excelling in one on ones in this draft. At the start of the year I had Mraz comfortably in the top 15 after 2 years of consistent football and steady improvement however after a foot injury wiped out essentially his entire top age year it would be no shock to see him fall to this spot but a position I'd be more then comfortable picking him in.
Signs are good that he is over the troublesome navicular injury after performing admirably at the combine considering his interupted year.
In a couple of years he will make the perfect combination with Weitering.

Going by the post on the first page we are upto CaptainMurphy and Essendon although I'm not sure if that is correct with three pick 41s listed.

Yeah I think that's right, I traded up to 41 and matched bids took out a couple, so I've ended up with 3 in a row. Right before the Dogs pick too. Wild.

Essendon pick 41: Luke Urquhart
Essendon pick 42: Archer Day-Wicks
Essendon pick 43: Tom Sims

That's both GWS and Essendon done btw, both having taken 4 picks. I'll do a write up of their picks asap.

Bulldogs bid on Ben Camporeale Mojorisin

Bulldogs bid on Ben Camporeale Mojorisin

We quickly match, glad we got two picks out of the way before hand or else I'd have likely passed at this point.

 

[weltschmerz]

Let’s go a bit left of centre. With pick 43 Bulldogs select Sam Davidson from Richmond VFL.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Taking into account where every team should be done (according to Twomey), the order for the rest of the draft should be:

ROUND 3
42 Essendon (Archer Day-Wicks)
43 Essendon (Tom Sims)
44 Carlton (Ben Camporeale)
45 Western Bulldogs (Sam Davidson)
46 Port Adelaide
47 Collingwood
48 Essendon PASS
49 Geelong
50 Collingwood
51 West Coast
52 Geelong
53 Collingwood
54 Sydney

ROUND 4
55 North Melbourne
56 Adelaide
57 Geelong
58 Fremantle
59 Essendon
60 Carlton
61 Hawthorn
62 Carlton PASS
63 West Coast
64 GWS PASS
65 Geelong
66 Gold Coast
67 Hawthorn PASS
68 Carlton PASS
69 Sydney PASS
70 Gold Coast

ROUND 5
71 Richmond PASS
72 North Melbourne PASS
73 West Coast PASS
74 Adelaide PASS
75 Melbourne
76 Gold Coast PASS
77 St Kilda maybe pass?
78 Fremantle PASS
79 Collingwood PASS
80 Carlton PASS
81 Western Bulldogs
82 Geelong PASS
83 Port Adelaide PASS
84 Brisbane

ROUND 6
85 Melbourne PASS
86 St Kilda PASS
87 Essendon PASS
88 Western Bulldogs PASS
89 Brisbane

I hope that makes sense. I've kept the first pass for each team in the order so that points values are kept in place.

(updated with Camporeale bid)

We have enough list spots for a fifth pick, right? I'll be taking one more shot in the dark towards the end.

Yeah I've got you using pick 81 as the 5th

Mofra I believe you are up

Port Adelaide
Pick 43 - Jasper Alger

I didn't really want to take another smallish forward, but Alger can really leap for his size and he's just 'best available' out of the players I know at this point. No idea how he tested (if he did) - just another guy who seems to have "something" if you see any vision.

From rookie me

He placed fourth at the National Draft Combine for his 2.931-second 20m sprint, and came 10th in the agility test (8.141 seconds)
