List Mgmt. 2024 AFL Draft (Picks 39, 58, 94, 112, 130)

[dirty2]

Would assume Scully is gone if we manage to bring in this kid.... Very big kid.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Makes him twice as good

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Can he kick straight? I'm still scarred by Port's inability to draft Key Forwards who not only can crash packs and take pack marks as well as contested marks BUT actually kick straight and aim in-between the two big white posts.

 

[Peninsula Boy]

They would be eyeing off Gerryen as that key forward, 2nd ruck option that we desperately need.

Those are some nice highlights.

Not sure if it's just the number but there's a bit of Tom Hawkins about how he moves.

He's got a pretty good kick on him for a ruck.

 

[Acemanjam]

Roughly when is he expected to be drafted?

Think most draft rankings/predictions have him in that 20-40 range. I wouldn't be surprised if the eagles target him at P26, so we would probably need to get in there before with maybe P23 if we snag that from GC.

Pretty tidy for a big man, off both feet too.

Rookie me central rates him 40-60.

 

[Rash]

Who do we take with pick 23? (Assuming the pies hand over that pick)

 

[Acemanjam]

Rookie me central rates him 40-60.

Yeah, not sure if there is a consensus on him really. ESPN has him at 21, SMYTHE has him at 43 over on the draft board eDPS and Cal Twomey have him outside their top 30 (not sure by how far). Davo-27 had him at 18.

So people seem to either rate him highly (like pick 20ish) or not so much (more towards that other end around 40+), but not much in between. Maybe we are hoping he slips to one of our later picks?

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Who do we take with pick 23? (Assuming the pies hand over that pick)

Alex Dodson 203cm Ruck SA
Alixzander Tauru (Gippsland Power, 191cm Defender)
Ollie Hannaford (GWV Rebels/Vic Country FWD/DEF, 180cm)

I’d take Dodson. We need another ruck.

 

[PJ Power]

I like the idea of targeting a true forward-ruck rather than the other way round. I.e. someone who plays the Riley Thilthorpe role, or the Brendan Lade 2004 role.

Sweet and Visentini give us good first ruck stocks. They need to be supported by someone who can play naturally as a forward but can capably pinch hit in ruck and more importantly provide something around the ground.

Gerreyn has that profile although fitness/endurance testing, sprinting and jumping were all not great but agility excellent.

Ideally we’d have four picks inside 40, and we could use the third one (say pick 29) on him.

 

[PJ Power]

#26 in these highlights. He's a fair size.

Looks like a young Scott Lycett who can actually mark.

Don't say Candyman!
