Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

[Strapping Young Lad]

33 should come in a bit with the suns and lions academy players.

I’m not even sure we will be holding Pick 33 by draft night.

 

[hawkinoz]

Essendon will be looking to move on their pick 28 or 31 when Kako is bid on as they have enough points. I would offer our Blues F2 for that which is fair and not overs. Same for Brissy & Suns but they don't have enough points and will want pick 33, so not suitable.

The trade would have to be done on Day 1, say around pick 8-10. So anyone trading for it won't know what talent is left at 28 or 31.

So unlikely any one will trade overs, we sure won't. More likely our trade will be if someone we rate has slid to a teens pick and a club is willing to take Blues F1+F4 in a deal involving F3 and the teens pick.

Can't do the above deal if F2 has traded, so only fair deals will be done and then maybe 28+33 may be offered for teens picks to get a talent we rate or just pick at 28 & 33.

I’m not even sure we will be holding Pick 33 by draft night.

Charlie Nicholls looked great in the SA Under 18 v Under 20 match. Would love to take a flier on him as a potential Mitch Lewis replacement if he can't shake the injury curse.

They are not going for that. If they agreed to that we'd be fleecing them. Again in the second scenario we be making off like bandits. Not a chance in hell that either of these trades materialise in a much stronger draft this year compared to next.

Not trading that means they will lose those picks, so who else will offer better?

Atleast with us they are moving the pick to next yr.

if they think blues will finish top 8, that is not a great deal but if not, it is a good/fair deal. Still not our problem, they will lose the pick and so any F2 offer is better than losing it. The idea for them would be to be able to trade back in after Kako bid.

So it can also be that we do F2 for their 28 and after Kako bid, their F2 for 33. We improve position at bare minimum.

I doubt someone is offering F1's, so has to be F2's. I doubt Richmond is doing that as they are doing reverse, moving their late picks to next yr. Suns may do the switcheroo with them like above it if Lombard is picked before Kako but they don't have enough points, so likely will trade their F2's/F3's for extra picks.

As of now the pick position for 2025 is below( not 2024)




The 2024 pick positions are

Mail or gut syl?

 

[earthworms]

I hope we can draft a serviceable key forward

 

[burger09]

Guess we'll find out if we rate this draft.

If we do we'll be trading up, I would assume. Tigers are the obvious target.

 

[Mopar Jason]

Forgive me, but are we compelled to take a minimum of 3 players in the draft or can it be less?

 

[kirbatron]

yes 3 or 2 from draft & use the third on upgrading a rookie to senior list for example

 

[Mopar Jason]

Thanks much appreciated.

 

[MasterSamurai]

If we can get Lewis at pick 76 then God knows what we can bring in with 33!!! Want a kpf badly.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Mail or gut syl?

We are trying.

 

[bigmaxi]

We are trying.

Is it better to trade a pick prior to the draft or on the night SYL? Always thought there would be a premium on the night for a trade pick.

I like the look of Hamish Davis from Claremont.

We’ve interviewed him 3 times with Sam sitting in on the most recent

Like the sound of this kid endurance beast with size, can play tall or in the midfield …… Sam loves versatility doesn’t he.

Sign me up.

Can't go wrong with another Weddle in the side.

 

[sohsam]

Can't we just pick one? we only really have one pick, pick 33, otherwise AFL should not have allowed it. Can you even pick up someone at pick 71 & 77? I thought generally goes up to 60.

Participation Requirements
In order to participate in the national draft at all, a team has to go into the national draft with 3 spots open on their senior list. You might think this is the same as saying they have to draft 3 players, but no. Rookies being promoted to the senior list count as empty spots. Also a team with 35 senior listed players could in theory draft to 36 then have 6 rookies, so only take 1 player.

With all the academy picks getting chewed up and teams starting to pass 71 and 77 will be late 50s

Sounds promising. Will he last until our pick in the 30's?

 

[Since 2001]

I'm hoping Dodson, Whitlock or Moraes fall to us at pick 33. Highly unlikely but a man has to hope!

Would immediately trade out our F1 for 34, 35 & 36

Syd have pick 19 …… could it be another MM special!

 

[ahhhhhh]

33, F2 and West Coast F4 for a pick in the 20s please.
