Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

[FB19]

I’m interested to know how people think we are going to buy our way higher up into this years draft.

A lot of other clubs thinking of doing the same who have far better future picks than we have to offer. If a deal goes through on the night I’d say we as a supporter group need to prepare to be rattled with just how much we actually give up.

We don’t have enough capital to get much further up than early 20s because we also need an f3 back, so will depend who slides and whether a club like Sydney GWS Richmond want future assets.

I really don't think we will need to trade up to get a quality player.
Pick 33 will get a very good player in this draft IMO.

There is a good selection of players who could be taken anywhere from 15-35.
I doubt every club is going to be in alignment on players 10-15, let alone 15-35.

Yeah I agree. They’ll have contingencies in place for just about every scenario. It will be very interesting to see just how much we value future picks if someone we have in the top 10 suddenly drifts beyond 16/17

That’s a good point I didn’t think of

My hope is we keep our F1 and use our pick 33 as our first pick this year.. It’s always expensive to move up the draft on draft night. We did very well at the trade period. We had a great year on field, we’ve become very marketable & gained terrific momentum to take into next year. We keep our F1 and big players will want to come so we need to keep our picks…I don’t like sitting out the first round but I’d prefer it to kept to this year rather than kick the can down the road..

They get so many leg ups all clubs should avoid dealing with them

They’re looking to trade up to get a ruck.

Anyone else glad not to be balls deep in Draft info because we're contenders once again
