Preview 2024 AFL Draft General Discussion

[ferrisb]

Dont understand the reasons why Richmond wouldnt select Ashcroft with pick 1.. by making Ashcroft the #1 pick they remove the pressure from Draper/FOS etc who will no longer be referred to as pick 1 and the expectations that comes with this title.

Richmond and Brisbane did a pick swap during trade period.

There would have been a strong wink and a nod involved...

I'm going to start a gofundme to become a list manager. My pitch is I promise to bid on literally everyone as soon as I can as long as I think the team will match.

Takers?

Dillon: And with the fourth overall pick in the 2030 AFL draft Fremantle has bid on Billy Smith

Shifter on Fox: now this is interesting. Billy Smith, the son of former North Melbourne great John Smith, was projected to go at pick 60 in the draft, but I understand Fremantle’s new list manager has pledged to bid on everyone

North Melbourne: we won’t match

Joao:

Might be a blessing if we take tauru bit of a risk but he has the potential to be a star serious X factor

Curious what you think his ceiling could be? Do you see him playing more than just an interceptor? I’m a little lower on him than consensus.

Down to Melbourne to save the league yet again.

the league was stuffed since Hawkins was grabbed with pick 41. Asterisks on most flags since.

Does that mean Melbourne's 2021 premiership has an asterisk too then

Jack Viney at 26.

I think we should hand back the flag.

Get ready North fans

Im thinking North are taking Tauru with their first pick at #2 or #4

Weird way to spell FOS

Hypothetically, if GCS was forced to trade you Mac Andrews for a future fourth rounder, would your view on how the league is run change?

Cowards. Make the premiers pay up.

At least we have an excuse with number 1 pick and deal with lions for 20. North or Carlton should definitely bid though.

A Sicily type player that can go back or forward even through the middle in bursts

I don’t think his kicking is even close to Sicily. His decision making is probably his biggest weakness at the moment but that’s something you can fix. Did show some flashes later in the year pushing forward

Where is the best place to watch the draft? Fox footy, AFL or other?

Fox footy if you wanna actually see the players get their names called out. Afl website will have a studio show with Cal and Riley I imagine.

What time roughly do they call out pick 1

Then you get stuck with Fredrick Rumpelstiltskin who wasn't as valued by the team he was attached to as you thought, and whom plays in a position you don't need.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

What time roughly do they call out pick 1

5 Minutes before Pick 2

 

[RUNVS]

5 Minutes before Pick 2

You did not take into account the 2 minutes extra time that North might request in order to make a decision.

 

[The Nostradamus]

If tigers take the full 5 min or even half that time to read the first pick then fine them

The only reason this shouldn’t be instant is if they bid on Ashcroft

 

[BennyGan]

What time roughly do they call out pick 1

Probably be just after 7:30 is my guess. Usually 30 mins of waffle
