They should just do one pick per day starting in October
With about half the picks

Feels like it could be like this all the way up to selection.
Cal Twomey has been good with his phantom calls of late except 2020 with 3 of top 12
but might be tested this year again.

That's not relevant, though. Dodson won't go that early, and Richmond also hold 20 and 23.
Absolute premium midfielders are always in the top few picks. Grabbing the two best in a year kickstarts Richmond's rebuild, and gives them the pick of the entire draft to have the best two mids for working with each other.
Pick 18 is an okay pick with a 50/50 chance of giving you a role player. When they also have 20 and 23, it's an easy thing to sacrifice.
2020 was a bizarre year though, most of the Vic kids weren't allowed outside lol.

Also probably timed to coincide with the first cricket test and take attention away from that. AFL loves doing this
as others have said previously, year 12 kids are still studying or sitting for final exams so it does make sense to allow them to finish finals in late Oct/very early November
AFL Draft 2024: Every club’s targets and potential pick swaps ahead of Wednesday night
What’s your club’s plan on draft night? This is your one-stop shop to find out all the inside noise on every side’s targets, potential pick swaps and more.

abridged version of comments on crows. similar to previous rumours from the last week
The Crows are weighing up making a bold play to secure North Melbourne’s pick 2 in a live trade on draft night, with their eyes believed to be on Victorian midfielder Jagga Smith. Rival clubs think Adelaide is fearful Smith would be secured by Carlton and are keen to add the light-footed and agile onballer to their midfield mix.
Smith captained Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships and averaged 33.8 disposals, 7.9 clearances and 154 ranking points from 12 games for Oakleigh Chargers in the Coates Talent League this year. If a deal with the Kangaroos can’t be done and Smith is taken off the board by the Blues at pick 3, Adelaide is instead expected to look to dynamic South Australian midfielder Sid Draper at pick 4.
The Crows have nominated marking forward Tyler Welsh as a father-son, who they should be able to select with one of their late picks as a rival club bid looks unlikely.

Then we have to put up with the happy clappers and people that aren't invested like us saying " i have full trust in people who actually know what they are doing, they know more about what the team needs bla bla bla"

I feel like this is the plan but it's for Lalor not Smith if Richmond happen to not pick him, otherwise Draper at 4.
Why are we interviewing Lalor twice last week if Smith is our guy?
yeah who really knows. Lots of games being played. Ive always thought Lalor or Draper were our preference at pick 2 as the explosive mid we need but Lalor probably goes at pick one.
Do Tiges offer 6 and 18 for 2? I think they definitely should or will. Do Kangas take the chance that a slide to 6 sees Dees take Tauru before them - real chance and I would be concerned if I was them but perhaps Dees are playing games also

I doubt it. Probably just BF BS.
Spoke to the person I get my inside goss from this morning
We have Sid Draper as #1 preference followed by Jagga Smith

So basically comes down to what North do.
Correct
It would be referring to this Nicks quote from 2023 but the poster obviously hasn’t read the second paragraph.
"It's an interesting one, because I've always been one of those coaches who's said just give me the guys who work hard. Give me 18 of those and we’ll get a flag," Nicks said.
"But I reckon there's got to be a balance with that. Talent wins premierships, and the hard work and role players get you there, so you need to find that balance.

Langford will be a very good player. I just don't see him as a midfielder, which we desperately need.

Yeah I should make the point I don’t necessarily assume what Fox say is gospel. Just love the idea of snagging Langford
