Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

[Jeremias]

The experts who come out at this time of year generally base their predictions from inside mail, you trace it back over the past 5 years and they are never far from the mark with the top 10.. 2 weeks ago, the prediction's had North taking Alix at 2, today everything has him sliding to 10.

Sure, but that doesn't suggest that no club rates him inside the top 10. For all we know, every club does.

There's very little inside mail. This draft's closest comparison is 2017 and the top 10 phantom was quite inaccurate.

Gotta find something to compete on when you're shit

I suspect in 2025 and 2026 Richmond will be rivaling Melbourne in 2012 for levels of shiteness.

Not sure to be honest as I was around 6 years old.

[Better Loosen Up]

Have North cooled on Tauru or just come to their senses that you cant be taking a kid that no one else rates top 10 with pick 2?? Would North be a chance of trading back in to grab Tauru if he lands at say pick 10.. North future 1st for Tigers pick 10 and some change.. Allows North to get FOS or Jagga + Tauru which fills a list need.. just a big risk that you take hoping for ladder improvement in 2025.

How can anyone say definitively that we were ever taking Tauru with pick 2?

Haven't heard that come from the mouths of anyone at our club. Just media speculation automatically linking him to pick 2. It's like they did 2 + 2 and came up with 5.

Archie Roberts Draft Profile

Archie Roberts is an aggressive rebounder out of the back half with penetrative kicking and a strong speed-endurance mix.

central.rookieme.com

While the jury is out on if he'll be a good long-term player for Essendon but Archie Roberts was one from last year as well that I can remember clearly who was predicted to be selected in the 15-25 range but then wasn't picked until pick 54.

Love Roberts as a Bomber. Silk

When is the rookie draft.

I'm almost looking forward to the rookie draft more than day 1 of the draft.

Is Datoli really a Rachele clone? That's not a good thing considering Rachele hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire..

 

[blaisee]

I didn't know Richmond and North supporters had a rivalry. You crazy Vics always up to shenanigans.

They make us feel dirty the way they are looking at our draft picks

It’s disgusting and vile

When can we expect Cals final mock draft it's tonight isn't it?

Yep not much has changed. He's swapped Lindsay (now to Demons) and Allan to tigers.

What do you mean by comparison, like as in they aren’t sure of the order outside 1?

Rachelle is good, you’d be more than happy getting a player like him in the late teens to 20s in this draft

It is quite pathetic how "some" of their supporters are so fixated on our pick 6 and the Tigers not wanting to trade it or any of our other Early picks as a vendetta against their Club.

I have said it before

It is not Richmond's job to bail them out of the mess they have put themselves in

It's an ongoing issue they have yet it's everyone else's fault.

Bail us out of what exactly?

The Richmond boards the one who’s been self feltating with Pick 2 and FOS in your mock drafts for 2 months.

The saltiness is next level at the moment. You were all so convinced the mighty Blair Hartley had Rawlings on strings.

I think he’s better at the contest - both as a mid and as a marking small forward. But not as skilled or as good in space. Rachele finds a good amount of footy, he just needs to toughen up.

Dattoli is like a discount smaller Toby Greene to me. Not sure he’ll be great forward but he could be a match up problem. Could become a really good burst midfielder with his combative edge.
