Opinion Pick 9* 2024 – Who do you want? (profiles and consensus rankings included)

[Scythe94]

Will pin the consensus rankings I put together in this thread, too

It's hard to go past Reid out of this group.

 

[Jibroni]

Going to need one more of these threads for pick 83.

Technically speaking Judd Mcvee was Pick 83 if you combine the Nat and Rookie drafts.

You never know what you can find.

The Hotton video that was posted in the trading thread was superb. He's surprisingly good overhead for a skinny average sized kid and has great goal sense. Based on what I've seen I'd have him as my favourite for pick 9.

Second choice of those listed is Tauru. He is fearless the way he attacks the ball in the air, a bit like Howe just not quite as spectacular. I could see him being our long term replacement for Lever down back.

I hadn't seen much of Smillie due mostly to reading some less than flattering opinions of him on this board, but I like what I see. He's super clean for a guy his size and doesn't appear to be a bomb it long type. He hit some lovely passes off a step or two in the above highlights package. He also looks like he can play forward to a decent level which would give the team a bit more versatility.

Berry puts me in mind of a rich man's Chandler. He works hard up the ground to link up, appears to love a tackle, uses it well off both feet and has a good eye for the goals.

In short, it appears to be hard to go wrong at this spot. I wouldn't want to reach for a guy like Hynes (who we were linked with a few weeks back) but could see him being an option if we traded back. If we could get two of the GWS picks for 9, I could see him being one of our picks. He puts me in mind of Stringer and Zurhaar, slightly small for a KPF but with the ability to pinch hit on ball and cause havoc.

There seems to be some great options from mid-late in the first round.

This being the case, I'd be up for trading back for the right price.

Maybe Giants (15+16) or Tigers (11+23) if they're interested.

Feel like Alix Tauru will be the one that slips to that spot. Based on no knowledge on the draft just a feelin'

 

[Crimson Azure]

I just keep going back to Josh Smillie. Something about the kid

Did ani interview on SEN last week and seems like a good bloke.

Reckon this guy will be under serious consideration for our pick 9.

Just a vibe and from what I've read here and there we have some interest.

Personally think pick 9 may come down to being out of Xavier Lindsay or Bo Allan.

Just peeked in for a squiz at this Scythe94’s excellent top draft talent compilation post decided to sign up. The array of possibilities is tantalizing Jason Taylor must be licking his lips. Like a kid with two bob to spend at the corner milk bar lolly counter. Personally l’d go for a gobstopper or two and avoid the fizzwizz

Welcome aboard, WoodyDemon!

He will trade pick 9 for three sausage rolls.

But will the three sausage rolls line up in different individual places, or combine to form a "power roll" as a KPP?

JT dose love drafting WA boys.

I wonder if the reason why west coast were happy to part with pick 3 thinking he'll probably slip down to them anyway.
