Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

Do you mean Finn?

Yes.

 

[Philhawk]

He played 3 games for Sandy Dragons and was their best player in all 3 games. BOG against Eastern, his last game for Sandy. Played one game for Box Hill and since then has played at Old Scotch. Been in the best players in 4 of his 8 games. Not sure of what he is doing back at Scotch, is it because he doesn't want to play AFL (might be going on last year) or was he put there to avoid scrutiny? Apparently he's grown 15cm over the past 2 years and he has Will's Finn's stamina, real pace and is a much better kick.

15cm did you say? Has he been on the Serong diet?

"The national draft is now just one week away" - according to Fox Footy's F- crew:

Top draft prospects ranked 1-50: AFL stars they all play like and the clubs keen on them

Draft prospects ranked 1-50: AFL stars they play like — and what clubs could pick them

Following that opening gaffe, the rest of the article isn't too bad - I'm guessing someone like Shifter had a big say in that.

I know player comparisons can be silly, and wildly off the mark at times, but I quite like seeing Moore and Day being player comparisons now for top talents (Berry and Travaglia respectively).

Edit: Moore got two player comparisons, Berry and Dolan.

On a side note, it's such a shame we were close to having Tarau, Moraes and Anderson as NGA's. We could have been laughing bringing all three in.

'Big bodied mids' are over.

Tallest player in the top 4 is 182cm.
Ashcroft at number 1 and sub-180cm.

A Luke Hodge at 28 would be handy

I see that Cal Twomey is thinking that we might pick Christian Moraes (if he is still on the board), Hamish Davis or Thomas Sims at our first pick.

Whilst Cal is pretty good with the early dozen picks and who they'll go to, the latter picks are pure guesswork.
I wouldn't be banking too heavily on any scribe's opinion especially as i personally think we'll successfully upgrade anyway.

Does our first round next year and this years pick 33 get us pick 18 from Richmond? Do we get Jobe Shannahan, as it definitely gets us Jonty Faull. Or do we wait to make the call on the night?

33+F1 for a pick in the mid 20's? No thanks,

And a F3 we will do it for a kid that has slipped down the draft in our eyes. For instance if we rate the kid top 10 or 12 and they are still available at 19 we will do it

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think someone else said Rich don't have an F3 at the moment (which they'd need to also include for us to be allowed to trade our F1)

You're right they don't, and we can only trade a F1 if we get a F3 back (which we don't have either).
I think since we have a F2 we could trade our F1 for another F2 coming back too.

Does Josh Weddle have a brother?

maybe, depends if Essendon or Gold Coast offer something better

Its a demand and supply issue
