Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

[Blackhawk42]

What are the chances Anderson gets bid on before our pick?

Would be surprising, however any team needing a rough and tumble midfielder could 'reach' for him.

I guess we shouldn't be too surprised considering Bowman and Angove were picked up in the first round out of nowhere.

 

[jaygee]

We are literally taking 1 player + Anderson, we have no list spots.

Anderson can be a rookie.

 

[MazHawk]

Anderson can be a rookie.

No he can't. Rookie spots are full.

 

[jaygee]

No he can't. Rookie spots are full.

Well we didn't manage that well. Try our first for a pick for Shanahan and something next year.

Why? Who do you want to delist to make way for an extra pick, and why?

Would anyone dangle their F1 for our pick?

Fox reporting that we could be linked to mids like Moraes and Ough. I would have thought a KPF or utility type like Barrat would be more likely.

 

[Walshawk]

...but are any of those top 3 picks going to be a key forward? or are they all mids - North have so many high pick mids its embarrassing - they desperately need key position players. Having said that its still a bit stupid

They could just take the best tall next year even if he is ranked 6 - 10, that would be better than what they did.

 

[I got the outside word]

Would anyone dangle their F1 for our pick?

I suggested this the other day and got a laugh reaction, it’s only 8 spots into the second round, not entirely impossible I wouldn’t think.

I would do F1+40's pick for our 35+F2

Direct F1 for 35 may be hard to sell, will need our F2 going back, maybe ask for F3 instead of 40's pick.
Then use the F3 for one of Lions huge set of unwanted picks if a player we like is on board.

 

[Mashy]

I'm hoping for a big forward at our pick.

Espn fantasy draft had...

35. Hawthorn - Thomas Sims
Northern Knights/Vic Metro
FWD, 199cm

Sims is the man for the Hawks at this pick - if he makes it through. Pairing Calsher Dear with a long-term partner is ideal for Sam Mitchell's team after another injury setback for Mitch Lewis. Sims runs hot and cold, but at 199cm his reach, booming kick and strong hands is a good package to develop.

I don't mind so much if a young forward runs hot and cold, as long as it's not due to attitude or work rate. It's a hard position to play, and with a few pre seasons and Gunners mentoring regards leading, reading play, etc. it would likely be remedied

And speed plenty of speed

No need to delist anyone. All Im suggesting is moving up for Shanahan and with our pick at 35 pick another tall or Anderson. Whoever the club think would be best for us.

blues f1 alone won’t be enough to trade up it’s either 35 plus f2 or 35 plus f1 with f2 coming back there are better offers out there. Also dogs won’t trade without a pick back as they must have their sights on Moraes and Gross. So it’s tigers 28 who have much better offers or eagles 30 who won’t want to trade back far.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

We’re going to get a talent at our pick, and with our development program they could be anything in 12 months time.

Don’t sweat it.

Can only try

 

[The Chad and I]

How could they not kill it?

That’s about the 4th time you have had a tug about the Tiggers and anyone who says otherwise you accuse them of being salty.

We get it the Tiggers did well with their draft pics, we really do get it.
I just think people want you to have a spell from telling us they did well and stop with the “If you don’t agree with me you are salty” bullshit routine.

Will you be salty when they go Back2Back spoons?

Literally the first time I have posted about Richmond's draft.
You are hallucinating.

No better example than Calsher Dear.

Ignoring what he did on the footy field his physical transformation from draft night to today is an inspiration to anyone drafted to the Hawks tonight.

This.

We're not going to have a Weddle we trade up for in each draft. However, we will have our elite coaching and development - I say 'elite' because no other club can match what we've done with our BHH pathway.

I'm happy to sit back and wait for whoever MM and his team, who have more than enough runs on the board, select at our pick.

Welcome to Hawthorn, Pick 35!

 

[Dewnior]

Dogs want Moraes.

They're still pissed we took Watson.

 

[Dewnior]

Imagine having the amount of picks the Tigers have had this year and then they still miss on picking the best player in the draft. That would be funny. It has happenned before.

2004?

 

[Dewnior]

Tauru will be the best of this draft when we look back in 2035. He is going to be a gem, so bloody jealous we couldn't nab him.

Not biased or anything eh?

 

[unitedhawk]

2004?

I still chuckle at the memory of Richmond's head honchos parading Deledio and Tambling at a BBQ and proclaiming they'd just picked the two best kids in the draft!
