Resource 2024 AFL Draft discussion thread (Wed Nov 20 to Fri Nov 22)

The fact there's been talk about us trading into pick 2 suggests the club has the same suspicion.

Or we prefer Smith

 

[Golumless]

IF we did and were able to get a project ruck, it would be a great outcome for the list

I'm the other way. I'd go balls-to-the-wall on Toby Murray as a ruckman at this point, and decide on trading in a ruck depending on his developmental curve in 2025.

Sure, the ruck craft isn't there at this point (high water mark of 16 HO), but I reckon the rest of his game has the scope to become a dangerous ruckman with some added polish to his game. Accumulation seems average, a solid marking (in particular contested seeing he averaged > 1 per game) option, and most importantly, there is some forward craft in that profile (noting he's a goal-a-game third tall in the SANFL currently).

And if I was gambling on the next "must have" in football, it's a ruck who can double as a dangerous forward.

A bunch of middle aged fat male slobs sitting on their laptop or phone calling an 18yr old kid spending his first year in an elite sport environment fat/lazy will never not make me laugh.

FWIW, I'm a middle aged fat male slob who agrees with you wholeheartedly!

Going by Hamish's comments this morning if we had a second pick we would be targeting Hannaford not Dodson, so we can put to bed that we would have picked up Dodson if he slips past pick 28.

 

[ams4crows]

I want North to take Taru because I want Smith more than I want Draper

I’ve always enjoyed a curtain and drapes combination


I’ll see myself out

Did he mention Hannaford specifically or something?

Reported.

Good judge that Hamish fella if he said that or even hinted at it.

See yourself out through the Doorson/Hinge/Keys combo.

(We're building quite a collection of household names!)

So annoying we don’t have a pick to take Hannaford

Really annoying

 

[George Kramer]

Hamish also picked McAsey, Gallucci, Jones and Ned

 

[ams4crows]

If North take Taru maybe we do trade 4 with Richmond for 6 and 24? Just pay Burgess out.....

What might happen is trading 4 for 6 and an F1. Having a 3rd pick in the 2024 ND and paying Burgess out is not happening.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Curiously, Burgess has nominated for the ND, but Schoenberg has not...

Hopefully someone picks him up, but unlikely.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No, we take the best midfielder at 4.

Very likely Draper, possibly Smith.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Meanwhile the other local ruckman is likely to head to the Swans, though Cats also interested (gather as backup plan to Dodson).

 

[ams4crows]

Very likely Draper, possibly Smith.

Yeah but if we were gonna pick Draper a 4 regardless and we knew if we didn't take him at 4 he'd still be there at 6..... Wouldn't you bank the extra picks? Like if Richmond moved up to get Smith at 4 and Melbourne haven't been linked at all with Draper it would be a wise business decision.... Wouldn't it?

This is still a business dealing, the acquisition of assets if you get the same asset you wanted with the added bonus of more collateral..... You'd do it. If Draper is "our guy"

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Really annoying

We are not ruthless enough.

Should have just paid out Burgess if no one else picked him up.

No guarantees & risk not worth taking.

We would be moving our pick from a prime position.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Should have just paid out Burgess if no one else picked him up.

Or if we wanted a tall for structural depth traded someone like Berry Jones etc

Cook !

 

[Golumless]

Why would Burgess accept a payout when he's contracted? After all, that's career over. Better gambling for the miracle.

Adelaide's issue isn't Burgess. It's we chose to recontracted Cook. Which was an awful decision even before the printer ink dried.

What happens if someone trades into 5 and takes him

Not worth the risk

He wouldn't have a choice!

We pay what's owing next year in this year's cap.

He said he spotted him first and loves him, might have to fight they one out with Mutineer i think!
