Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

[Jeremias]

Any chance the blues were happy to jump up to 3 to grab Sid Draper before the crowd pick?
Kinda makes sense, and they probably know that he won't go top 2, you can't say that with lalor, smith and O'Sullivan.
Adds some pace and spread to a midfield that can be one paced, hence why Kennedy has left?

Yes there’s definitely a chance.

FOS has been heavily linked to Carlton but I don’t think we make that trade when we made it, with one specific target in mind.

If we had one specific target, we’d likely have waited until draft night to pull the trigger.

Very split about if i actually want Richmond to trade for #2
Fos/Lalor double sounds good
But so does Lalor / Tauru plus the extra 1st rounder

No reason Richmond have to take the extra mid at #2 With Sharp most likely available next year
I suppose blair & Crew will know which balance suits best

Does anyone have a list of draft eligible/likely Father-son and Academy picks for this draft?

I know the below, but hoping for a fuller list

Adel - Welsh (later pick)
Bris - Aschroft (top 3), Marshall (pick in 20s?)
Carl - Camporeale twins (late 2nd onwards)
Ess - Kako (top 15)
GC - Lombard (top 15)
WC - Champion (later pick)

Surely there are more? Some bound for Cat B Rookies etc

Swans have a defender likely to go from about pick 45 onwards

Given we have 10 and 11 I don't like your chances.

I don't want to split the picks. I'd rather stay at 9 ahead of you.

I hope the rumours of Dees wanting Armstrong are untrue. He's not a first round talent. Awkward kick and not skilful enough for an undersized key forward.
