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

It's a weird story. Clearly the Rachele thing was a horror show, a bad mistake compounded by a horrific abdication of leadership from our senior players, who just circled the wagons. But as he proved as recently as yesterday with his Cumming story, Josh Money gets fed stuff by Port. So this could be a drop from them to deter Cumming from joining. Ultimately, despite being yet another small wound in a season which has had a thousand of them, we'll almost certainly still either draft Draper, Lalor or O'Sullivan with Pick 4.

No not Port playing interference, we are doing that all by ourselves… sadly.

I thought Lairds were much worse TBH.

100%, but hey let’s roll him out at the Brownlow again as a fine upstanding leader of our club

You try telling Laird he's not going to the Brownlow!

Well given a whole lot of the players are overseas on their break someone had to represent the club at the Brownlow.

Would be really poor journalism to make something up like this.

The ABC have no issue

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Josh Smilie? From what I’ve read is that he’s a tall midfield with great IQ. Does he have some speed or damage with his disposal?

Wouldn't be my first, second or third choice TBH

Ask Tiger if he wants the GF moved to the highest ranked teams state? Ask him if he wants a twilight or evening GF?

These are romantic ideas

Im liking FOS or Lalor as our pick. I think Draper goes to WCE and I’ve heard Smilie is supposed to be a high pick I just don’t know much about him

Im not a not fan more a fan of others

If he came to the Crows I would hope he stays long term

Maybe, Mike Willacy and the ABC the supposed bastion of truth didn't have a problem with Heston Russell it seems on a way way more serious level. What is it $400,000 of taxpayer's money so far and counting?

Unwin was the primary ball winner at stoppage for the Rebels racking up a remarkable 11 clearances for the game, albeit more than half of those came from stoppage free kicks due to overzealous attempts at pressure acts from Dragons players. He was tough, applied plenty of pressure of his own and had some moments of slick and clever play in tight to release teammates outside the contest.

The ABC has been taken over by Newscorp (thanks to that grub Morrison). It is no longer a real news outlet. It's more magazine now (great work by Ita).

Done well considering he'd always played the crafty small pressure forward role until late in the season when injuries necessitated a move into the midfield. Given his relative inexperience in the midfield he did exceedingly well gathering a heap of clearances every game. Generally a very good user and given his versatility recruiters are likely having a serious look at him.

The big thing for me are those moments where he's able to quickly release what looks like a blind handball that hits a teammate on the chest outside the contest. That's combining a bunch of positive traits in the one action. He's undersized so has a bit of work ahead of him to make it but definitely worth a shot at AFL level.

Sloaney gets a team named after him this Saturday. Hopefully Sharp being on Team Sloane is an omen lol

Also, is Sam Cumming a relation to our new recruit?

No, no relation. But he looks really promising: was the Round 1 SANFL U18s MVP this year.

Cody Curtin ( brother of Dan) is who I am interested in watching.

He's a giant of a lad

 

[Stone Sour]

Already 197 cms and kicked 6 goals in a recent semi final. Looks like he can play forward and back

 

[Mutineer]

Cooper Duff-Tytler should be a Crows focus unless we draft or recruit a ruck this draft/trade period.

it's Tytler not Tyler btw

Fiercely competitive so a bit different to Dan
