List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - Draftmas Day

[Timothy Luncheon]

I'll throw a red shell at you

I’d say throw a blue shell, but he wouldn’t be in first anyway

 

[tiger_tough]

Norf gonna miss out on the only player they've been linked to for 2 months.

Imagine not being able to get a good deal for pick 2. Funny club.

 

[Mr Magic]

My Draftmas Wishlist / Mock based on NFI and not including boring academy / father sons rubbish (cos WGAS)

*Assuming North slide back with help from Adelaide and Saints / Tigs agree on swapping #8 & #32 for #11 & #23

#1 Richmond - Sam Lalor (Too much upside to ignore. Leadership. Match winner.)
#2 Adelaide - Jagga Smith
#3 Carlton - Finn O'Sullivan
#4 North - Alix Tauru
#5 Melbourne - Harvey Langford
#6 Richmond - Sid Draper (Much needed speed to the midfield mix. An absolute PRO from all reports)
#7 St Kilda - Tobie Tavaglia
#8 Richmond - Josh Smillie (Finally our very own Ruck Rover in the Cripps mould)
#9 Melbourne - Bo Allan
#10 Richmond - Xavier Lindsay (Beautiful inside/outside mix. Completes the midfield reset)
#11 St Kilda - Murphy Reid
#12 West Coast - Joe Berry
#13 Port Adelaide - Jobe Shannahan
#14 Fremantle - Taj Hotton
#15 GWS - Harry Armstrong
#16 GWS - Jasper Alger
#17 Western Bulldogs - Ollie Hannaford
#18 Richmond - Jack Whitlock (Key forward, Tom Lynch replacement)
#19 Sydney - Jonty Faull
#20 Richmond - Jesse Datolli (Crafty half forward that gets up the ground. Think Lambert role)
#21 GWS - Cooper Hynes
#22 Sydney - Harry Oliver
#23 St Kilda - Luke Trainor
#24 Richmond - Matt Whitlock (Key Defender to partner with Gibcus and Balta)
v

v
#32 Richmond Angus Clarke (The reason we were happy to do the trade with saints. Underated intercepting half back)

I do not see Smillie as a ruck rover.

not at the moment, I do not see those indications at the highest level. He has traits, of course he does, but there is also red flags for that role to me

Smillie can ruck rove, of course he can, we seen that in the vision. But can he play a ruck rover role all over the ground? I doubt it.

To me I see Smillie as a hybrid who can ruck rover and hopefully do other roles as well. To me this could be his success formula, but it is all very much up to debate at the moment from my perception.

 

[a_fighting_fury]

Lalor said every club he spoke to said he’d start in a rehab program, due to lack of preseasons

100%

Not yet sure if he’s injury prone or that he simply keeps breaking down due to poor/lack of preparation. Hopeful that once he’s in a professional AFL system he’ll get his body right.

 

[U2tigers]

I'm watching some videos now, and understand that is the best bits of all of these players.

But whoever said Armstrong can't take a contested mark. Seen some really good marks in footage I am watching now.

I'd happily take him at 10/11

 

[Stealth69]

Hoping for a Lalor/Langford 1 & 6

Believe they can build on the chemistry between them

Draper, Smillie would go ok

People don't like him because he doesn't just take sexy leading marks like Jobe. He does a bit of everything. He's a Jeremy Cameron clone.

 

[Stigmata]

It's funny I do like the look of Josh Smillie

But

Having to support someone from Park Orchards makes me wanna spew

 

[docko911]

Too late for that shit now campaigners. If North want to get another pick it will be F1 for just 11 or GTFO and that depends who we draft with our earlier picks.

Move along povo North with your shitty pick 2.

F1 doesn’t get 11, maybe 18.

 

[Finn9]

People don't like him because he doesn't just take sexy leading marks like Jobe. He does a bit of everything. He's a Jeremy Cameron clone.

Not the case at all, if you watch the full games he sits deep inside the forward 50. That’s the knock on him, he barely works up the ground. You want that in a 194-195cm forward. He’s a great grab and kick though

 

[TiggerDK]

Draper is the next Dangerflog but without the flog.

 

[Pomsta]

I think decent chance FOS will be there at 6 if North take Tauru no?

I reckon there is more chance that Lalor is there at 6 if we pick FOS at 1.

Surely that was the teams game plan?

I am sure he would adapt to any game plan the coaches wanted from him.

 

[Mr Magic]

Draper is the next Dangerflog but without the flog.

If Draper is at our 6 seriously, we would have to really think about picking him as in more likely to pick him than not at 6

 

[docko911]

I reckon there is more chance that Lalor is there at 6 if we pick FOS at 1.

Doubt it. North would take Lalor pick 2.

 

[tugga]

Lalor really does seem like the perfect fit for us.
Good god I'm excited at what this kid is gonna do.

 

[Nerflardio2424]

If Draper/smith is available at our second pick we have to take them. Stoppage craft is what we desperately need

 

[Mr Magic]

Lalor really does seem like the perfect fit for us.
Good god I'm excited at what this kid is gonna do.

best thing, we do not have to worry about two way, he loves to tackle

Yze would love this just to help the team not to ignore the defensive side

 

[DontArgue4]

I reckon there is more chance that Lalor is there at 6 if we pick FOS at 1.

no chance

norf would take him

 

[_RT_]

5 guys to present jumpers and 7 picks. Anything to read into there?

Dusty, Cotch, Grimes, Astbury and Jack all attending the draft to present jumpers

2 4 8 9 & 12 being handed to draftees is a bold move on Draftmas

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

3 live trades by us tonight.
1/2/8/13/20/24/29 & F1(Nths)

 

[tigerfan1961]

23. TRADE: West Coast - Matt Whitlock

Murray Bushrangers/Vic Country
DEF/FWD, 199cm

Trade: Richmond trades pick 23 and a future third round pick for West Coast's future first round pick tied to Hawthorn and their future second round pick

28. TRADE: Geelong - Luke Trainor
Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
DEF, 194cm

Trade: Richmond trades pick 24 for Geelong's future first-round pick

No chance of these trades happening.

Don’t give those Geelong pricks anything Blair. Even if they offer future 1,2 & 3

 

[richoatthedisco]

Norf not being able to get a trade for pick 2 is hilarious, but so is Carlton spending two first rounders and a second rounder just to pick Battla Smiff.

 

[_RT_]

Yeah mate, that is why he is sliding to pick 6.

MSD last pick if he's lucky

 

[tugga]

best thing, we do not have to worry about two way, he loves to tackle

Stop it. I'm gonna nut.
