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

[George Kramer]

Though Jagga spoke really well on Gettable.

Loved when he gave a cheeky dig at Cal's 2020 phantom draft nightmare.

Did he give any go home vibes

 

[Macca19]

You should be looking at Charlie West later in the draft for your tall forward, he's the best contested mark in this draft amongst the talls and a sub 3.00 runner with speed on the lead to go with his leap and athleticism. No go home factor either. Another that had some injury issues during the year to also contend with.

Yeah i like him. Ive got him 31 in my rankings. Would be happy if we got him

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Lombard being outside multiple top 10’s is still wild to me

Yep , he’s at least the equal of Draper

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Clarke is a gun, I slept on him all year but re-watched some tape and he’s so classy

Would be a good get for Port even at 29

He’s easily SA 3rd best prospect . Way ahead of Ben Canporeale IMO

 

[Mutineer]

In the end this is correct

But overall at moment it’s acknowledged , hence prob not too many teams trying desperately to trade up

But that's mainly because there's no takers at the top end other than perhaps the Kangas plus Pyke and co obviously wanted the 2 decent picks rather than the 1 top ender.

I'd be surprised if there's not plenty of maneuvering going on in the background still to get up into the top end.

I think maybe for Lalor because everyone wants a player like that

FOS is classy but a few question marks after this season despite some excuses

Langford - speed

Draper - kick

Smith - hurt factor


I don’t see guaranteed ‘elite’ players just very good ones

 

[Crow till I die]

Yep , he’s at least the equal of Draper

A bid at 4 from us..maybe GC won't match that high? but then if he is wedded into the northern academies program and wants to be up on the coast, we may lose him in a few years time when we may have Draper right there at our pick anyway

 

[Captain Furious]

We’ve just traded for speed

Peatling Cumming ANB all get over the ground well

Definitely targeted speed at the trade table , I’m all for more speed but it’s not the only consideration

Edwards on backburner too has the jets

Cumming is reasonable but not express, ANB definitely not fast. Tested not far off Langford. Peatling is quick but also has played 40 odd games and competing for a midfield spot with Taylor and Dowling. Edwards got drafted off the back of a small handful of decent junior games and a long way from proving he’s an AFL player. No definitive 1st choice mids in that group.

I would expect Peatling is already ahead of both Taylor and Dowling on exposed form this season.

Came here to say the same thing. Dowling might need to find another way into the 22

I think Peatling’s deservedly ahead of Dowling and Taylor right now. Things can change, but Peatling is currently more proven, he got coaches votes when played in there

I think they would, I would.

 

[Captain Furious]

I didnt realise all players over 6ft have no agility.

You're ranting over nothing.

Who said 6ft? When you knowingly change what people post to suit yourself, you’re basically telling everyone you know you’re wrong.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Unless injury hits, I don’t really see Dowling starting the year in the team

He certainly has the potential to overtake a Sholl type, though

You're showing your lack of knowledge in this thread.

Peatling competing with Dowling and Taylor ?? He's comfortably ahead.

Speed always helps but you don’t pick at pick 4 with that as the only consideration

As I’ve said we’ve used trade period to address speed so that it’s not the only factor with pick 4

They’re matching and we ain’t bidding at 4

If I was a conspiracy theorist, there’d be some kind of benefit the Suns theory there somewhere in it all. Just doesn’t figure, has been outstanding at every turn over the last 2 years. In my top 5, maybe top 3.

He’s been my #1 for a while now. As complete as anyone in this draft

Pulling out the ‘lack of knowledge’ cliche? Simultaneously boring and desperate.

Clarke looks all class

 

[Captain Furious]

If the shoe fits....

Following up the criticism of using a cliche with…another cliche. Bold move. Not unexpected but bold nonetheless.

AFL: How this year’s ‘Super Draft’ is putting the squeeze on club lists, forcing delistings​

Clubs are being forced to make ruthless calls on players they only a few years ago were being touted as future stars. MATT FORREST examines the far-reaching effects of the best draft crop in years.

It has been labelled a ‘Super Draft’, and list managers have been cutting harder and younger than they have in years in an effort to maximise their hauls in late November.
In an effort to create more list space and flexibility entering this year’s draft, which has been touted as the deepest in years, clubs are culling former top picks that were once earmarked as the future of their teams.

There have been more than 100 delistings across the competition, although several clubs have committed to rookie listings players they no longer had space on the senior list for.

Collingwood will take that step with premiership player Oleg Markov

[Mr MysteryGuest]

So going by the player comparisons listed, they have

Smith = Butters
FOS = Bontempelli/Sam Walsh
Draper = Chad Warner
Lalor = Dusty
Langford = Jordan Dawson

Any of these guys would be a great fit for us, but for me adding someone with Chad Warners skill set is exactly what we are missing from our midfield group. Butters would be the next one. So either Draper and Smith would both be a great outcome for us.

That FOS comparison makes no sense. Bont and wlash aren't similar style players, so how can FOS be like Both?

I don't think Lalor moes like Dusty either.

Lalor and dusty I get for sure

FOS and Bont not at all , nowhere near same style

FOS - he’s maybe more like Elijah Hollands
