Review 2024 National Draft Thread Part Deux - Welcome FOS, M.Whitlock, L.Urquhart & River Stevens

[Mute Point]

Is it time to start operation Get Jack Whitlock?
Get the twins together & they will be even better I reckon.

Step 1. start now getting in the ear of Matt, Jack, the parents & plant the seed.

Step 2. Get the dad a Mazda

Number 1 draft pick Toby Pink coming for ya in 2025

I wish we had given Don Brew a crack, maybe as a train on SSP if we have an injury over summer

could put brayden george on the LTI to have some summer train ons for SSP

and hypothetically if anyone went down during the year instead of replacing them could just flick george back on themain list otherwise conservatively have him right for 2026

time for some cat b rookies

No bloody way, George will be ready to go very early

was Josh Murphy not drafted?? id be all over him in the rookie draft

Nope. There was some talented players left on the table imo. I know list spots across the board are pretty tight but I’m surprised that Phoenix Hargrave, Josh Murphy, Gabriel Stumpf, Floyd Burmeister, Louie Montgomery, and Nathaniel Sulzberger weren’t picked. All of them showed enough glimpses to justify a shot at AFL level.


There are some others who I thought had upside potential too… players like Depaoli-Kubank, Evan Bradley, Bailey McKenzie, Zaydyn Lockwood and Jaxon Artemis.

Those dogs have already begun their get Dougie Cochrane plan

If other clubs thought our F1 would be top 3, they would have fought to take it off us.

It's just a sook man, that's fine, there's been plenty to sook about the last four or five years.

It's the future sooking that shits me.

But notes are being taken about those who wilted under fire, when success comes these types won't be forgotten

(Also lol at saying that blaming Brady for everything is "analysis")

Your concerns are noted.
I am off to read An Apologist's Guide to Gatekeeping!!!

Thanks GR brilliant

dont go confusing the product with the process,

personally i dont have a problem with getting danials or whitlock for that matter, but if you are going to tell me we got them by spending the minimal amount of draft capital i say your nieve.

think of the analogy 2 people go into a tractor dealership and buy the same tractor, one pays the RRP and the the other haggles and gets 5k off and they throw in a slasher!

the buyer that got the better deal is better at bargaining regardless that the product they both got is identical re quality/suitability.

Snoz isnt a great bargainer. there is a lot of evidence stacking up to support that. alarmingly most dealing with Richmond!

I understand what your saying Koshari, but what I'm saying is we did what we had to do to get the players on our list, now obviously we wanted Harry Armstrong but couldn't get him even at pick #23, but we got the boys that we wanted, of course we didn't spend the minimal amount but that's the secret right there, "it doesn't matter what we spent, the job is done".

 

[The Talent Scout]

Don't know where you heard that but I can assure you we were trading up for Matlock from pick 14.

One of the AFL reporters did say that we wanted to trade for pick #23 and that we were going to get Harry, can't remember who it was.

geez thats some stiff names! deeeep draft.

 

[ferball]

The most disappointing thing for me about this draft is after being a big fan of Gerreyn, i now, naturally despise him because he plays for *

Mate, I think you better loosen up!

Nobody has given Dom brew a crack and if we wanted him I dare say Barlow would have pushed it and we didn’t. Has to be something off with him

His kicking is putrid.

 

[The Talent Scout]

We've cooked ourselves for next years draft if we cant trade into it next year (which I hope we can due to the compromised 2027 draft). However, I reckon the pickups this year are on point and might just set us up beautifully.

Spot on Roos1991, but remember next year if someone catches our eye we can trade two years of picks in, so everything is good.

[The Talent Scout]

i'd still like to know what the best offer we got for pick 2 was

knowing where armstrong went was there a chance to get both tauru at 10 and armstrong in the 20s for pick 2

vs fos at 2

and in that situation would we then not have spent our f1

Yeah look its a hard one, maybe, maybe not, I'm guessing our pick #2 wasn't as attractive as most drafts and the picks were pretty average but that is a question we all would like to know just as a matter of curiosity.

 

[The Talent Scout]

Do we have any senior spots available after the Pink relisting or is that it for us?

0 That is it for us Hatchy1992.

 

[Passmore]

Any trade proposal that would have seen us lose out on O’Sullivan probably wouldn’t have cut it.

I don't know about that. I get the sense Matt is pretty happy to be forging his own identity.

Spot on Roos1991, but remember next year if someone catches our eye we can trade two years of picks in, so everything is good.

I was reading with the points changes next year, round two picks will be like gold. So hopefully we can convert our two early seconds into a late first and late second.

 

[The Brady Bunch]

Pink agreed to be delisted and re rookied. Integrity is important

100%. You can't be campaigners in that situation. Pink earned his extension.
