List Mgmt. 2024 AFL Draft

[Ford Fairlane]

Thanks to Lore for this great resource

i would love Bo Allen, But i doubt he makes it past west coast at pick 12.

If Bo Allen does, who do we pick: Taj Hotten or Bo Allen?

I personally would go Bo Allan but I guess it depends what you like.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Nah, not worth that much. Earlier in the draft yes, later in the draft, its worth a Rory.

The two upgrades are empirically worth 6 spots in the draft at the place we would be negotiating.

If we are negotiating with Brisbane for pick 27, points-wise we can do it with 36 and 50, we can't do it with 39 and 58.

 

[yepits2020]

Cat B rookie. Does he look likely to make it?

Moss will be a category B rookie for Port in 2025 and will not go jnto the draft.

 

[jac147]

Luke Trainor please - don’t know anything about him but he already has the nickname of Yogi if he came to us. The old timers would catch on.

I'm sure this is the sort of thing we'll do.

Davies mentioned in the interview yesterday that when judging the Houston trade, you've got to factor in the 3 players that we will draft inside 30, and then later said that we'll draft three (maybe four) players.

I suspect we will also want to add Barrett and Burgoyne with matched very late picks, or rookie selections.

I'm really uncertain as to what type of player we should bring in because our list still has positional deficiencies either in young, top-end quality (e.g., key defender, small lock-down defender, small forward) or depth (e.g., midfield).

I think I'd go:
At least one high-ceiling midfielder to add to what we have.
Key position player, preferably key defender.
Hard-running, skillful wing/high forward.

For me, Hotton is my first realistic preference at pick 13. If Smilie falls for whatever reason then call his number out as quick as possible, otherwise its Hotton.

Outside of that, I'd be looking at Armstrong or Shanahan with pick 13. I'm big on both of them.

For our 2nd/3rd pick, two out of Moraes, Hynes, Urquhart, Hannaford and Dattoli

Pick 50, James Barrat would be my choice here if he's available, otherwise it might get eaten by a potential Benny Barret bid.

Smillie is the interesting one. He was sliding a little but then he's copped a bit of flack for berating team mates when things were going south in one of the later games.

You wouldn't think Richmond would let him slide past 11 but maybe?

 

[240volt]

Bloody hell. After multiple premierships Richmond with 7 "1st round" picks

That's how you do it Port.

You have to finish bottom for starters.

Not a big deal. You can chuck in next year's picks if we have any left. They love doing that.

 

[Rash]

Really like Hotton. Reminds me of Dunkley.

Dunkley is slow, non evasive non agile

Hotten is the complete oppostive

 

[Brian McGee]

I like the look of Hotton, but the acl scares me a bit. This has to be a 100% hit after trading out Houston. I also like berry and traitor. But it really depends on who goes in front of us and who slides a bit. I will be dissapointed if we pick another running back flanker instead of a mid/forward or tall.

Freudian slip?

I wouldn't let him slide past 2, but i'm a big Smilie fanboy.

If i'm them, a great draft hand would be:
1 - Smith/Lalor
6 - Smilie
10 - Trainor
11 - Armstrong
18 - Langford
20 - Shanahan

The ACL doesn't bother me. Back in the talent.

 

[Brian McGee]

Freudian slip?

Could be… more likely autocorrect.

 

[Wargreymon90]

ACL’s aren’t as much of a death sentence as they used to be. Unless you have a genetic disposition to them like Menzel or Johnson.

Most players can come back near 100%.

Chronic soft tissue injuries at a young age is a big concern.

Its hard to know what type of player we should target with pick 13. The list now needs everything and nothing.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Would love Hamish Davis with a later pick if he's there. Think he has as much potential as some currently ranked in the top 10 and seems like he could go anywhere from the 2nd round to the rookie list.

At 13(16) I'd go one of Lindsay, Hotton, Hynes or a slider like Tauru if he's there. I'd rather take a key position player with a later pick.

29, gimme Tom Sims. My fav key forward in the draft and should still be there.

If we don't go a key forward earlier, take Charlie West late.

If anyone is interested, it's a longish thread

 

[hazpaz]

Is it possible that the club is confident that a) Gil Wakelin is projecting as a first round pick, and b) he's closer to nominating us than St Kilda, and this is why we were more willing to part with our F1?

 

[Rash]

What is Gil Waeklin's draft range?

 

[VineValerian]

I'd anyone is interested, it's a longish thread

Can't get Twitter anyway.

 

[Port2Power]

Gil Wakelin so far is not projecting towards being a first rounder in 2025.

He wasn't even chosen in the 2025 SANFL U18 State Academy.

No.

Like Gill but he's a way to go yet.
