Game Day 2024 AFL Draft Live discussion Rd1, 2-4 and Rookie Draft

[cats_09]

I'm stealing this idea and some of the following text from Daz with his approach last year to draft night & the subsequent draft days...

With the 2024 AFL draft finally about 75 mins away.. time to shift the discussion here for all the live action during the First round

Im sure the AFL will drag it out endlessly and we'll do our best to stay awake but we will see what happens over the next 3 hours or so


As it stands, we have no first round pick this year after parting with it in the Bailey Smith

Hopefully no trading future picks to pick up a project ruck

Further to this

 

[year of the cat]

Well that blows my prediction out the window.

 

[Footy Smarts]

I wonder if the Dogs actually worked out what those picks will be after bids.

Right now it's 27 for 35 and 48 which sounds pretty good.

Once bids are matched it'll work out to something like 31 for 36 and 43. Which sounds pretty average actually.

 

[Hamingja]

Tune in about 8:45 you reckon to see the picks where we might be able to trade back in

 

[Boxhead_31]

The AFL draft isn't like the NFL draft. There is no need for it to be split over two nights; that it does so is so stupid.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

How to occupy time while Geelong are doing nothing tonight.

'22 GF on.
Parfitt just kicked his goal. With any luck pick 1 goes as Joel banana's one from 45 out.

Foxtel dislikes this.

Foxtel dislikes this.

Just turned it off when they started doing the deep background pieces.

 

[Gunf]

The whole draft including rookie should be done in 1 day

 

[Boxhead_31]

30mins in, surely at least one pick has been made?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Took forever for first pick to come in.

Going to be a long,long night.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Nothing the AFL loves more than having the No1 draft pick spend his first interview after being selected than talking all about how much he loves cricket

 

[hamG]

Bid on Nick Daicos with pick 4 you cowardly clubs.

 

[cats_09]

Didn't realise Nick was available

 

[rocker_oz33]

Ashcroft ..

 

[Boxhead_31]

AFL is such an unserious competition

 

[PeasFC]

Percentage chance cats get a pick tonight??

[sexyhunk]

[CatRiot]
