Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

[The Jet From Poowong]

1 - Harry Armstrong
2 - Jobe Shanahan
3 - Jack Whitlock
4 - Matt Whitlock
5 - Jonty Faull

None will be available at 33, however I consider Tom Sims to be in the fringe of that group, so if he's available at 33 (possible, if he doesn't go from Pick 25-32)

The bottom ager Stumpf is the pick IMO with scope for genuine improvement.

Beautiful fluid kicking action
Marking looks good
Running capabilities are at a very high level
Great balance and looks decent below his knees
Body type is made for the modern game.
Has real potential to develop and also grow in height from his current 196cms.

Are you sure he's tall enough though? I've heard he's just a stumpf of a lad.


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I like ….. gotta a bit of Chol about him with his field kicking to advantage to a team mate.

Sorry for my ignorance in this years draft given our first pick is 33 but this kid 1st in the 20mtr sprint and standing vertical jump in combine wtf with his size and height and liken him to Cameron …… buy buy buy. I wonder what the knock is?

Had posted below SS of another poster's take on draft talent, others can say if this is accurate. Davo-27 can you help.

Line 40 says Contested game is weakness.

If we trade down as Cal says then he is a likely target if we have done the work on him.



Pies fan review of Stumpf

 

[MazHawk]

That table shows exactly why Gerreyn would be such a good get. Strengths in power, athleticism and contested marking are key. Tank can be developed, decision making can be taught.

Give me James Barrat. can play both ends. His knock is that he’s undersized at 194cm, but he hasn’t turned 18 yet.

Cal Twomey's Phantom Draft: Top 30, late picks, whispers

Who will your club take in this year's AFL Draft? Our guru makes the call

Cal's write up talks about Lions list management team working on maximising every draft point. They seem switched on and if Levi is bid on at 5 as predicted then pick 27 will be on the table. Hope our list management team is switched on to grab it. Can be switchroo or the trade I proposed earlier.

Get pick 27 and if our target player is not available, I bet Cats will table their F1 to grab Alex Dodson.

Blues may also be looking to trade up from pick 38, they are the other party.

Cal's writeup for us is
