List Mgmt. 2024 AFL Draft (Picks 13, 29, 36, 50, 94, 112, 130)

[Ford Fairlane]

Thanks to Lore for this great resource

If it’s so even from 10-20 I don’t see why working a deal that sees us move 3 spots up in this range is insurmountable.

Its not insurmountable, its unlikely because other parties will offer a better deal than us if they have the same target as us. Its also a risky move for us if none of the top 8 mids slip to 10.

 

[Addy23]

I'd rather not spend our picks on 1 high one. I'd rather multiple lower picks for it and give our recruiters something to work with and more shots at the bullseye. Can we give Richmond pick 13 for their 20, 23 and 24? They won't need to go that deep anyway with pick 13 onboard.

Precisely, although can't see Richmond doing that deal for 3 picks coming to us. Either 13 for 20 and 23 with Tigers, or 13 and 29 for 16 and 21 with GWS or 13 for 19 and 22 with Swans (which they offered Suns before if reports are to be believed).

I am throwing a list here of positions and the targets for me


The reason I have gotten it into a matrix of some sort is to work out some permutations because we do have a few positional needs to fill and this gives me a clearer idea of where targets are likely to land on draft night and where we need to position ourselves to get a variety of positions

 

[Doctor Feel]

Still hope we draft the Jack Off guy

I don't think the joke will ever get old. Can definitely imagine BT saying "Ough, to the Horny one"

On a serious note, good player.

I’m in the other camp. Trade up for the elite talent you’ve identified.

 

[philthy05]

Why are people carrying on like trading up from 13 to 10 is going to cost us an arm, leg, kidney, and jhf’s future son?

I would’ve thought a second rounder would get that done easily.

Giving up yet another second rounder when we lack young players coming up behind our established talent due to a decade of trading out second rounders?

If there’s more than a cpl of teams that have taken less picks in the 20-35 range than us I would be shocked.

We can’t really afford to keep doing it.

The Age has an article with a top 40 phantom draft based on current picks.

We have spoken to recruiters at 14 of the 18 clubs to get the lowdown on this year’s top 40 prospects and which clubs they might end up at. Father-son and academy bids will alter the order and that has been factored into our phantom draft.

For Port:

16. Jack Whitlock (Reid and Trainor also possibilities, they acknowledge our interest in Cooper Hynes who they have going at 28)
31. James Barrat
38. Angus Clarke

The AFL draft is just weeks away. Here’s where the top-40 prospects could land

The draft is rapidly approaching and the 2024 class has recruiters salivating over its depth of talent and variety. We rank the top-40 players.

www.theage.com.au

Whitlock strikes me as closer to a Scully type project player than a blue chip kf prospect. If the net result of losing Houston is gaining Whitlock we’ve really ****ed up.

The Age has Adelaide drafting Langford and Draper falling to St Kilda's picks.

Murphy Reid at 20 to the Bulldogs.

Reid to slide that far? Surely not

 

[rogerjames]

The last line in their write up of Whitlock is “some query his competitiveness.” That’s not what we need.

Last thing we need. Sick of uncompetitive key forwards. Also a flight risk given has brother.

We need to maximise the number of picks under 30 this year. Next year is supposedly a weak Draft. Tassie in after that. This is our one chance to stock up for years to come!

I'd be splitting 13 to get 2 picks in the 18 to 24 range, add to pick 29 and 36 we already have, and we should get some decent players from those 4. Our later main Draft pick for matching a Barrett bid - or a pre-season pick in 2025.

But with only 5 spots currently available (9 off the list, less 3 traded in and 1 (Moss) upgraded to a Rookie), and with the need to have 4 Draft picks + Barrett + Rome (total 6), we need to delist one more from our current list to accommodate them. And one more to accommodate enough picks.

And bear in mind, that isn't allowing for Montgomery to be picked up (reckon we have to sacrifice someone who is really lineball AFL standard).

**** giving up picks this year for a slight upgrade. We have to start building for the future right now.

What you said there might be why they are leaning to use a pick to upgrade our first rounder, so they don’t have to delist anymore.

Ridiculous though. Charleson, McEntee and Williams could easily make way to get better talent from this draft. Even Tommy A is lineball.

Pretty good I would also include Xavier Lindsay if still there at our 1st pick.

I would have Lindsay in the HB position, but I don't want to really use a first rounder on a HB. Travaglia I can see moving into midfield but I think Lindsay's position at AFL level is a HB.

A good shout, just not sure if he's what we need

 

[Port2Power]

Its MORE like players in the rookie list Williams and McEntee that get delisted first before Charleson and Anastasopoulos.

CHARLIE WEST (Woodville-West Torrens/Immanuel College) Key forward/ruck, 18, 195cm

Charlie West’s grandfather has been a fixture on the sidelines as the Woodville-West Torrens forward has become an AFL draft prospect.
A chair he used to take to games hinted at his former life.
“It was actually an old AFL chair that my daughters made me change because ‘AFL’ stuck out,” Charlie’s grandfather Wayne Jackson tells this masthead.“It’s now just a green canvas chair.” Jackson, of course, is a former chief executive of the AFL. He served in the top job from 1996 to 2003 – three years before Charlie was born.
Today, Jackson is retired and a proud grandpa of 10. The 80-year-old typically sits in the Woodville Oval grandstands for Charlie’s home matches but is on his chair away from other spectators at most other grounds.
“He doesn’t tell me when he’s coming out, I just look around and I’ll see him there with his chair,” says Charlie, a 194cm key forward. He’s been very supportive of me and comes out to almost every game. “He likes to yell out ‘get the ball, go Charlie’.”
Port Adelaide has chatted to him twice, but not the Crows, whom he supports. Collingwood interviewed him in Adelaide a fortnight ago. Carlton is coming next week. “I just try to be myself,” says Charlie, who is tipped as a possible late pick or rookie in this month’s drafts.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Part of a deal with Richmond and GWS for the former to get Pick 2.

Still going, but made harder by the fact the Tigers don’t want to deal pick 6 or 20.

Big Footy sleeping on this young man. Could be the best KPF in the draft when it's all said and done.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Good to see we have spoken to Charlie twice. He's also close to the Lukosius family. Might yet see him land at Port.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Does Charlie West have anymore cms left in him to grow? Would be great if he could have a 6cm+ growth spurt somehow.

 

[Port2Power]

Charlie West played as a defender in the U16s before being pushed to the forward line.

Speed is a tick
Playing with aggression is a tick
