Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

Exactly

Odds on Richmond keep their draft hand as is unless someone does something crazy

Anything crazy though is still a downgrade to me. It would be Essendon F1st + 46 for Pick 18 type deal

Dude he is absolutely shithouse as a forward. Even Harrison Petty would admit that

Pick 9 is because you want Armstrong. Only move more obvious is Bo Allan to Eagles

Factually incorrect..

You are batshit insane if that isnt the plan.

Bizarre comment but okay. Armstrong is one of the more overrated players in the draft.

He's basically another Matthew Jefferson that's slightly bigger.

If we want to target a key forward in the draft with pick 9 it'll be the more aggressive and complete key forward in Jobe Shanahan.

Ah I get you. I thought you meant you wouldnt take a KPP forward. Shannahan is a possiblity too but feel certain its Armstrong

Petty is a terrific defender and yes, a poor forward.

I hope like hell we're not interested in Armstrong. He looks poor in the contest. After the Jefferson fiasco I'll be shocked if we take Armstrong.

There are better players than Bo Allan who'll be available at 9-11.

I'm not averse to taking Tauru at 5 and the best mid left at 9. Perhaps Lindsay or forward Berry.

But equally happy taking the best mid at 5, perhaps Langford or a fallen Smith.

Surely Kako isn't top 10

Impossible they offer their F1 for pick 22( which 18 will be) by itself.

Going Cal's Sep form guide, he has the below players from 15 till 23
Hotton, Trainor, Berry, Lindsay, Shanahan, J.Whitlock, Hynes, Faull, Dattoli, M.Whitlock, Dodson

If one of these players are available at Tigers pick 18( which ill be 21/22), do you expect Bombers to trade F1 to get them?

Bombers F1 would likely be a Top 8 pick, I can't see this happening.

So I hope Tigers are ready to use all their picks.

Maybe Hotton or Lindsay they would. If they go before 18 then its not worth it for Bombers

He's not, but if Essendon was still holding pick 9 then there's every chance a club would bid on him with a top 8 pick just to make sure Essendon don't get two top 15 picks. We know Essendon are going to match virtually any bid for Kako, so if pick 8 bids on Kako then Essendon's pick 9 would evaporate in the process and the team holding pick 7 is no worse off because they were never going to get Kako anyway.
