Kevin Sheehan’s 2024 Telstra AFL Draft top prospects: Tall defenders

AFL Talent Ambassador Kevin Sheehan has released profiles on the top tall defenders in the 2024 Telstra AFL Draft pool

Well he shouldn't be in the top 50, not in my top 50, we will take him but it sure better not be before 3 live selections

Would be awfully disappointing if we went to only 36 on the main list given that the AFL gives us picks at the end of the draft due to open list spots. Effectively meaning we would rather have worse players on rookie A deals rather than senior list players

Financial reasons why we do it, a rookie pick costs a bucket less and also new rookie rules you can keep them there for longer.

Yes, but if we're moving senior players onto the rookie list, why wouldn't we have the money to get in draftees via the ND instead of the rookie draft.

It's sacrificing quality for not much difference over the longer term, when we'd be better off financially in the short term anyway.

Personally, I can see them moving Sid back into defence over the offseason, going into 2025

Worked with Roberts, and they’ll try and replica it with Sid

Sid can do the spectacular but goes missing at times and can take some bad options. I don't think he has Blakey's talent but he reminds me of him so maybe a move behind the ball might help level out his output. Or try to turn him into a medium forward given he has a bit of height and can kick goals from long range.

Rare that i agree with Bedford. No point in getting a 27 year old 193cm player that does literally nothing well and has so many weakness.

That proves a point for me

my uneducated, he looks like a goer, picks I would be chuffed with are Berry, Hynes, Mraz and the acadamey lad of course
