Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

At Pick 33 we will have enough options. Surely one of Sims, Gerryn, Mraz, Barrat, Oliver, Davis etc will be available. So any trade deals that includes pick 33 means other side are not losing out much as this draft is quite equal from 15-35 or so

Gerreyn looks impressive too

Hard not to think of Hawkins with that #26 on the back, although I do think Sims moves a fair bit better than Gerreyn. Not sure Gerreyn would fit into our playing style for this reason.

Sims would fit in better with his athleticism, and once his body develops I think he'll be a bit of a brute. Key forward line of Dear - Lewis - Sims would be hard to stop, and you could even use Sims as a back up ruck so it's not really a bad idea having the 3 big fellas in your 22.

I don't think trading our future to creep up the board is a good idea if we have T. Sims on the board at our first pick.

You'd probably take the risk if it meant we get Hotton, but otherwise Sims looks good for what we need.

If Taj Hotton wasn't injured he would go top 3 and if he played like he did for Sandy in the champs he would've gone pick 1 imo, he will slide out of the top 10 because of the knee and no champs, but not far and if he gets his body right will likely be a bargain, he was dominating in the forward line, on the wing and in the midfield, he looks special and I only had him around pick 10 early because I wanted to see champs evidence before I went high on my rankings with him, imo if FOS and he were injury free i think they would have been my top 2, but they were injury plagued and FOS played ordinary when he was fit, so it was a frustrating year.

I think if we land Faull, Sims, Stumpf or Gerreyn it would give us depth in an area where we need it, with Lewis always injured and Chol as inconsistent as he is.

Hamish Davis could also be a good Gunston replacement In a couple years time

HS mock draft got us picking Hamish.

And player comparisons that aren’t the best player in the comp for a pick 40.
