You weren't going too bad until you had us trading 11 for Dons or Dees F1's

23 and even moreso 24 (1st pick 2nd night) will generate F1's, if we want to trade them out.

Blair has said, more than once, that this draft is worth trading into, would be silly just to trade out of it again just for the sake of contractual balance.
Pick 11 was an example. Hopefully the bid for Kako comes after our pick 11 and we'd be using 18 for the deal.

The goal would be turning something like 6, 11, 18 into pick 2 and 2 x 2025 R1(possibly 2 top 10 picks).
 
The culture of the clubs is fine , we’re light on for emerging talent , there’s a difference
The culture isn't where it was 17-19, it was eroded away by leaders losing their way and leaving the club until it hit bottom this year.
I believe there is still enough of a base to rebuild an excellent culture very quickly, which will be super important as we bring in the top end talent over the next few years.

Assuming we go to the draft with pick 1, 2, 10, 18, 20, 23, 24 - this is who I'd like us to take. In brackets will be an alternative pick if the main selection isn't available.
1. FOS
2. Lalor
10. Armstrong (Hotton)
18. Hotton (Lindsay)
20. Shanahan (Jack Whitlock)
23. Hannaford (Dattoli)
24. Dattoli (Gross)

I think if we end up with Hotton on top of FOS and Lalor we have done extremely well but if Armstrong is there at 10 we should take him.

I'm no draft expert but I've loaded up on a lot of forward of centre types who can hit the scoreboard. Our scoring this year was a big issue, so we need to bolster that area big time.
Hannaford a good footballer and damaging, but his poor endurance could be his Achilles heel in the AFL. Shades of Daniel Menzel.
 
Sound reasoning other than the assumption that GWS are willing to trade their first pick out of tis draft. Or even their second. I imagine like us with our 20s picks they'll be sitting back waiting to see what someone offers for pick 21.
Agreed. That was in response to TD asking whether pick 2 + 15 was better or worse than 6 + 11 for NM. I think GWS beat us if they’re willing to deal for a F1 otherwise we are in a good position.
 
We're in a very strong position. Big bids (F1s) will come from clubs in the range 10-25 this year. For that reason, we want to have done good business with our first 3-4 picks.

Pick 1: FOS / Lalor
Pick 2: FOS / Lalor
Pick 6+10: Traded out to North for Pick 2 and F1
Pick 11: Harry Armstrong

I'd be very happy with that crop, even though I'm taking a key forward at pick 11.

We can then auction off the next 4 picks (18, 20, 23 and 24) for F1s from Gold Coast, Hawthorn and Essendon (who all have the capital to trade). If we like the offer, we take it. If not, we take the player on our board. It's not rocket science.

Walk away an expectation of 3-4 picks in the top 10 of the 2025 draft (us at #1, then death riding North Melbourne, Essendon/Melbourne, Collingwood). It's not inconceivable that we could end up with #1, #2 and #3 in 2025.

Do it for the melts.
Just a thought why would we give them 6 & 10 and then let them have the pick before us. Surely we would go 6 & 11 Really I think 6 & 18 with no F1 would be the better deal for both sides.
 
If we're picking up Dylan Sharp, who's drafting Dyson?

If we use pick 6 to move up, Pick 10
& Pick 11 are vital picks to maintain in this draft.

6 & 18 for 2 & F2 and we all move on

Over the next few days we're going back to the start of the season to fill in a few performances that were missed. Here we see Harvey Langford, still sporting the long hair, playing more forward than mid and taking a number of impressive contested marks. If his lack of pace does impact his ability to play through the middle at AFL level he can always fall back on his ability to impact the game as a medium forward.


Blowing a gale in this game it looked like.

#10 Travaglia is a must !!
 
How I'd go about maximizing our draft hand over next 2 years.

2024: 1, 6, 10, 11, 18, 20, 23, 24

2025: 1, 19, 55

Trade 6 & 11 for North 2 & 2025 R1

2024: 1, 2, 10, 19, 20, 23, 24

2025: 1, North R1, 19, 55

After Essendon match a bid for Kako, offer our next available R1 (pick 11 for example) pick for Melbournes 2025 R1 pick(I believe they could finish below Essendon in 2025) & Essendons next available 2024 (40 or 46) depending on what they need to match Kako.

2024: 1, 2, 18, 20, 23, 24, 40/46

2025: 1, North R1, Melbourne R1, 19, 55

By doing this we split our haul across 2 drafts and give ourselves contract flexibility, as the CBA states that any player drafted inside the top 18 is signed to a minimum 3 year deal, while those outside the top 18 are signed to a minimum 2 year deal.

What that would mean is that picks 1 & 2 this year would be on 3 year deals and picks 18, 20, 23, 24 & 40/46 would all be on 2 year deals as they will fall outside the 3 year window. It would then mean that our 3 R1 picks next year would be on 3 year deals and 19 & 55 would be on 2 years.

Breakdown:
2024: 1 & 2 signed until 2027
2024: 18, 20, 23, 24, 40/46 signed until 2026
2025: 1, North R1, Dees R1 signed until 2028
2025: 19 & 55 signed until 2027

The question that would need to be asked by our recruiters/list management team would be is it worth moving 10 & 11 (possibly 13 & 14 after bids) from this year for possibly 1 x top 5 & 1 x top 10 or 2 x 5-10 range next year.
Brilliant love ❤️ the long term planning 👌
 
I’d be happy with Langford, good skills, good endurance, mobility, and an aerial threat. We desperately lack aerial presence around the ground. Can go forward and kick goals.
Strikes me as most like a Bont.
I don’t think his speed is a problem, his tank more important.
We also need speed so everyone else we draft needs to be quick!
I actually can’t believe he’s not getting more love on this board.

I don’t watch any u 18’s at all during the year but have watched the predicted top 10 or so’s highlights.

He is by far the most impressive. So balanced and skilful, great decision making. Pure class.

People on here making out he moves like Richard lounder..

Hes one of the best gut runners from the testing and is every bit as quick as your bonts, Cripps, dusty, cotch, Taranto, Pendlebury, bartels, Sam Mitchell’s etc

They were ok..

If we have 1 and 2 him and lalor for me

I think he will be gone by 6 if we keep it.

Wouldn't compromise draft capital with a player's contract status. Contracts can be renegotiated later to stagger them.
Pick 11 for Melbourne's 2025 F1 and 46 is well under it's value. Pick 11 is in the sweet spot in the draft and wouldn't trade it unless we get an unbelievable offer.
 
I think I'm leaning towards keeping 6 and offering North 10 and something else for 2.

Fos & Lalor then a Smillie, Draper, Jagga, Langford at 6. Potentially Allen at 11.

Considering the only tall we are really linked to at this stage is touted as a late first early second pick, and the rumoured links to Cadman makes me think we are looking for mids exclusively early on.

Can on trade our last pick for a future first potentially our second last too depending on how draft night ends up.

Walking away with 4 mids, 1 kpf and a future first or 2, would be a great haul.
