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

[Lana]

It is but I'm not sure they have picked the right ones. Sims over gerryn or shanahan is odd to me

It don't think the particular name matters, they brought in a group

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Maybe not tonight, but last night, while Armstrong and Whitlock were still on the board (plus some of the others who are still available), our F1 + whatever wouldve been fair. Doesnt even sound like we were trying which again, is disappointing.

There would have been no value in that trade.

If Norf were on the phones for every selection past pick 8 and still couldn't get it done then we never stood a chance.

Who knows if we asked or not. I'd suspect yes, but it wouldn't even make the news if we did.

Norf were the story, plus the actual draft itself of course.

 

[SkittleCats]

Not sure why anyone is surprised with clubs taking talls, you cant have enough of them given the risks they have with injuries.

 

[strauchnyy]

Fair to say we won't trade now... and probably if we do, max we pay is a F2 anyway. But I reckon we will sit tit now.

This is good

The name matters if 4 of them bust.

Their rebuild is nowhere near complete.

 

[Turbocat]

Does Port go a ruck?

I'm very conservative with trading F1s. All it takes is a couple of close losses, an injury to a Cameron or a Holmes, and our F1 is a top 10 pick. I don't know if Armstrong or Shanahan are worth taking that risk for.

Surely our F1 is safe now.

 

[D BRIDGE]

Does Port go a ruck?

They just got Sweet and Soldo in last year so probably not a pure ruck.

 

[Bagelboy]

Really not happy how we've sat around and done nothing while some genuine talent has slipped so low.

We may use an F2 and get back I'm and land someone good. Also have a look at what Kangas coughed up for P27, we don't really have the currency.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Moraes still in the board this late is interesting too.

 

[Reg Hickey]

Does Port go a ruck?

Dodson hopefully!

 

[BennyGan]

Interesting they went another defender again! I really like Barrat as a player but that type for them surprises me.

Especially when their 2 NGA boys are both defenders too

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Does Port go a ruck?

Kpf yes but probably not a no1 ruck given sweet and visentini.

 

[ShadowCat]

Dodson may make it through to 42 now anyway

 

[cats_09]

Considering that last night North put their F1 on the table for all teams to trade for from pick 8 onwards and it took until Richmond's pick 27 for a team to bite, what exactly do you think we had to offer that a team may have been interested in?

If teams were comfortably turning down a future top 10 if not top 5 pick, there's no way they were trading for a future pick that's likely to be in the teens

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Yeah Cole Hoffman and Peckett makes it an interesting mix.

Fair enough, i disagree, one would be very handy in a few years time once Cameron has gone.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Dodson may make it through to 42 now anyway

I doubt it but if he does you probably have to take him.

 

[cats_09]

Does Port go a ruck?

They went the other Whitlock

 

[Boxhead_31]

Port forcing Lord out the door by taking Whitlock?

 

[Pure_Ownage]

There goes whitlock. Given Marshall and Dixon that's logical.

 

[My Tilly]

Eagles getting Allan and Shanahan is elite from them.
I had them ranked 7 and 11 on my board.

Really?
I don't see the hype in Shanahan. No outstanding qualities from an athletic point of view. He looks a decent size and nice kicking technique but looks like another Dan McStay type.
Armstrong was the one I would have loved us to get. He looks to have a lot more scope for development.
