List Mgmt. 2024 AFL Draft

[Ford Fairlane]

Thanks to Lore for this great resource

 

[Addy23]

Moraes would be in contention for our 2nd pick. Has a lot of quality traits…his kicking is not one of them though

We have enough people who butcher the ball honestly. There's 2 key traits that this team lacks. One is quality kicking across the park including set shots, the other is the ability to win contested marks. We should be focusing on those after taking the best talent available at 13

 

[rumoursofwinter]

I think I saw moraes kick and just thought no.

Oliver could be a good fit for port.

 

[Macca19]

I really want to like Hynes, not quite there yet

 

[Haggas]

I'd be interested to see what Robbie Gray thinks about the talent for our first pick

Yeah well he pushed for us to get Butters and that was the steal of the decade

 

[Haggas]

I like the look of Hynes (and his name). A genuine medium sized forward who can run through the midfield is a good fit for us.

And he looks a hard bastard too.

Ok you've sold me I'm all in on getting Hynes now. I knew he was good but I was only looking at players around the rankings of pick 13.

 

[Haggas]

Moraes would be in contention for our 2nd pick. Has a lot of quality traits…his kicking is not one of them though

We definitely don't need another player that can't kick

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

No thanks to Moraes. Defensive running is already an issue with our midfield. Don’t need another mid who doesn’t run back defensively and kicks poorly.

Need players who can at least kick the ball as a minimum.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Admittedly I've only watched a 5 minute highlights clip but not impressed by Hotton's disposal. His kicks and handball look soft and loopy and miss the target more than you would like. His movement in traffic is eye catching though.

Yeah he's just an accumulator and I don't think he fits I think too similar to Rozee.
We need a Wines replacement but a better kick.

I noticed he isn’t a big kick. Barely made the distance 40ish metres out from goal on a slight angle. He moves well though.

Yeah and is that really a need for us? Our 3 best players already have that

 

[Rash]

Apparently Murphy Reid will be a big slider, his realistic draft range is 15-20.

The age spoke to club recruiters and put out a mock draft, and they have murphy Reid as a massive slider becuase they dont like a small frame without speed.

If he is there to we pick him ahead of a Hotton or Berry

I don't see it with Reid. Out the players around ranked top 10 he's the one i see as a flop

 

[Rash]

He reminds me of a Harry Sheezel type

Not the quickest, but very high IQ, the best hands in the draft and a elite kick.

Just seems a bit soft for my liking.

From The Age article

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl...-target-in-the-afl-draft-20241021-p5kjy5.html

Midfielder Xavier Lindsay, hard-running high half-forward Joe Berry, tall utility Tobie Travaglia and key forward Jobe Shanahan are leading candidates to head to Alberton. There will be good options up for grabs at their second pick, too, including key-position talent. Ex-basketballer Jacob Moss, who is 198 centimetres, will join Port Adelaide’s list for 2025 as a category B rookie.

 

[all seeing eye]

Hotton has just gone in for minor surgery on the knee he did. Dont think we can afford to gamble with our first pick on this guy, he may have the best potential but I think we need to be more conservative. X Lindsay if available seems the lowest risk , may not have x factor , but just has consistent quality over many games. Trainor with concussions is too risky. Moraes cant kick and Reid is all handball, elite at it, but not much more.

I don’t like Lindsay

I love Berry. Hope we pick him

Travaglia i love, start him half back, then transition him into the midfield.

I said earlier in this thread Travaglia looks such a Parker pick.

We exist to pick half backs, Travalgia or Lindsay.

 

[Haggas]

Travaglia would be a great pick but I don't see him getting to our pick

 

[all seeing eye]

In terms of needs Berry probably fits bill. See who slips maybe.

 

[Rash]

I will be so gutted if we pick Lindsay. The thing is I think we do pick him.
