Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

[eDPS]

Interesting Twomey still hasnt done a ranking unless Ive missed it? Normally has one out by now.

Nah he usually does it at the conclusion of champs

 

[richoatthedisco]

10 x the player? Talk about exaggeration. Moraes is still easily in the top 15 of this draft.

Easily?

Off the top of my head, I'd have:
O’Sullivan
Smillie
Lombard
Ashcroft
Jagga
Draper
Lalor
Allan
Langford
Welsh
Reid
Hotton
Whitlocks
Sims
Nicholls
Dodson
Trainor
O'Farrell
Lindsay
Berry
ahead of him, and I'm not sure the likes of Marshall, Kako and Murphy aren't either.

What a coincidence, I easily have Moraes above:

Berry
Lindsay
Gross
Langford
Allan
Sims
Dodson
Nicholls

And he's pretty close to the group around Lalor, Welsh, and Reid.

And as you should know, any opinion other than mine is just plainly incorrect. So next time instead of talking in hyperbole just ask me what I think and I'll let you know whats true.

 

[TDS7]

What a whiny btch of a post. It wasn't me speaking in hyperbole.

Thanks, I always try and match the tone of my posts with the person I'm replying to.

You are absolutely right though Tivva29 get in here and explain why you named your son after a wall bed instead of a motorcycle company.

Matt will got before Jack

Wow huge call

I certainly dont agree

Prefer the Tall FWD

Both are looking like first round prospects and might depend on what style of player the clubs picking them would prefer.

Matt Whitlock in his 2 games playing forward with Jack really overshadowed him which caught me by surprise. That versatility and higher athleticism will likely see Matt taken first.

Lombard father was a ufc fighter!
I just found this out, no wonder he doesn’t mind mixing it with the older boys in the vfl.

Hope we get to see Jack as a KPF at the champs at some stage then

You should YouTube him. He had a certain reputation.

I reckon Matt goes before Jack as well. Better movement, overall better skills and more composure. They won’t be far apart though.

Easily?

Obviously subject to change but at this stage I’d have him ahead of Lalor, Allan, Welsh, Reid, Hotton, Sims, Nicholls, Dodson, Lindsay, Berry & Murphy.

I think his form at the champs and in the academy games have seen him drop a bit but you can’t disregard his form in the Coates league over the past 18 months where he has rarey
Played a bad game.

Hector? You’re joking yeah?

Nope. That’s his dad.

How so?

Not different to the common

Just my opinion but I reckon that would be one of the weaker top 10s I've seen. Feel like there will be some really fantastic picks later in the draft, the overall standard of games seems to be higher than 2023 which was stacked for absolute top end talent but fell away quickly so I'm inclined to think there will be some real bolters and bargain picks.

Love Joe Berry and Evan Bradley for the Blues to fill a need but the top prospects in Smillie, Ashcroft, O'Sullivan, Jagga etc don't get me excited a heap when I watch them. Would prefer Lombard, Draper or Trainor over any of them at this stage.

I agree. Pick#1 this year would be pick #4 last year IMO, ahead of Duursma but behind Walter. I think FOS, Ashcroft and Smillie are the top tier, but then throw a blanket over #4-10 depending on need. The talls would want to hit their straps soon too, Trainor for example was abysmal on the weekend albeit in difficult conditions.

 

[Keystone agony]

Think Harley Reid and Jed Walter just about the best 2 ever though

 

[Keystone agony]

His pre-season testing was diabolical.

Probably towards the end of the first round because of it.

Will be that classic 18-30 pick range of a top 10 player of the draft class on performance with poor athletic results. He would need to improve at the combine.

What was his endurance results?

 

[Sphynx]

What was his endurance results?

720 Yo-Yo - Above average.

 

[Keystone agony]

720 Yo-Yo - Above average.

Thats ok

Like Rhylee Sanders wouldnt have tested well

Langford is a big size, hard, a nice left boot for his size and can accumulate

 

[PMBangers]

Not different to the common

Almost like there's a reason for that

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Is HGH inheritable?
