Player Watch 2024 AFL Draft Thread

I have really enjoyed not having to follow the draft this year. #Hokball
Go hawks

That table shows exactly why Gerreyn would be such a good get. Strengths in power, athleticism and contested marking are key. Tank can be developed, decision making can be taught.

You’d think so, but one of the big disappointments with DGB was his inability to get his tank to AFL standard over many preseasons.
Agreed though, would take those positives over an under developed tank

Hope Jonty Faulls to us tonight.

Hope Jonty Faulls to us tonight.

Might have to wait until tomorrow night - unless we climb up the draft ladder to 'NAB' him before he Faulls to another club.

Would not be at all upset if we traded out of this draft and had a strong hand in 2025 (A must keep).


I always thought Arlo Draper was very unlucky at the pies, whom took our long over Draper in the end ( not directly).

If Mitchell and Co thinks Arlo can add to our Hokball go for it! Let’s take a swing at the stumps.

You’d imagine Arlo would be AFL ready physically.


Anderson and Draper sounds alright to me. Go Hawkas!

After going through most combinations, I too feel the same.

I am happy to trade out pick 33 for a F2 + XX as well, our list is well balanced and we may be happy to pick late this yr. If we have 2 F2's we can trade up to one of Suns F1 next yr as well. Draft points are limited from next yr.

Cats F2+45 for our 33 would be a decent trade. Hopefully we can add more.

I am actually convinced now on why Cal reckons a Levi bid comes only at pick 5. I feel there is understanding with both North and Blues for Lions pick 27 & 34 to be nabbed. May be dependant on if Roos are trading pick 2 or not and to whom.

Maybe pick 27 is marked for North F2( if it is available and not traded). Pick 34 may be taken by Blues for 38 + one or more 60's picks.

If Roos get Pick 27, Gerryn will get picked there before Freo has a chance. Seems like Gerryn has achieved mythical status on Roos board.

LATE MAIL PHANTOM DRAFT
1) Richmond – Sam Lalor
2) North Melbourne – Finn O'Sullivan
3) Carlton – Jagga Smith
4) Adelaide – Sid Draper
5) Brisbane – Levi Ashcroft (matching Melbourne's bid)
6) Melbourne – Harvey Langford
7) Richmond – Josh Smillie
8) St Kilda – Tobie Travaglia
9) Gold Coast – Leo Lombard (matching St Kilda's bid)
10) Essendon – Isaac Kako (matching St Kilda's bid)
11) St Kilda – Alix Tauru

Will be hilarious if none of the top mids fall to St Kilda and they are forced to take two defenders. I thought losing Battle meant loading up with much needed gun mids at the draft?
