List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - Post Trade Period Edition

View attachment 2163935

Port Adelaide will not nominate any of its four father-son candidates for next week’s national draft but a Next Generation

Academy prospect could find his way onto the Power’s list.

With the player pool considered to be one of the strongest in years, the Power has given up automatic access to Woodville-West Torrens halfback Rome Burgoyne (Peter), North Adelaide utility Louie Montgomery (Brett) and West Adelaide defender Ky Burgoyne (Shaun) – all sons of 2004 premiership players.

Roosters midfielder Oliver Francou’s dad, Josh, was runner-up in the Brownlow Medal at Port Adelaide in 2002.

Rome – the brother of Power wingman Jase Burgoyne – is the highest rated of the four and it is understood a couple of other clubs have shown interest in him ahead of the draft.

The Power can still select any of the four with its picks, if they are still available, but cannot match any selection from rival clubs.

Port has already announced Francou will play for its SANFL side in 2025 if he is not picked up by another club next week.

After playing 11 games for North Adelaide’s Under 18 in 2024, averaging 24.2 disposals. 6.4 clearances and 4.9 tackles per game, Francou said he was excited about the prospect of having a crack for the Magpies in the SANFL.

“I’m really excited to play for the same club my dad had an AFL career at,” Francou told Port’s website.

“If the draft doesn’t go my way this year, I want to give myself the best chance to develop in a SANFL system at an AFL club.

“I hope I can contribute to the club well, and I can’t wait to get started.”

While the Power has not nominated any of its four father-son prospects, Next Generation Academy member Benny Barrett could find his way to Alberton next week.

If the South Adelaide prospect’s name is not called during the national draft the Power can automatically add him as a rookie.

The 174cm left-footer, of Papua New Guinean heritage, has been touted as Port’s best academy prospect this year.

Impressing in the Panthers’ reserves and under-18s this year with his x-factor, Barrett is viewed as a potential small forward at AFL level.

He has also played through the midfield and won the best-and-fairest for the SANFL under-16s in 2022.

Adelaide has nominated Tyler Welsh, son of ex-Crows forward Scott Welsh.

The Power has picks No. 13, 29, 36 and 50 while the Crows have No. 4 and 64.

I've done a 180 on Dodson, he's a proper talent. I know rucks take forever but he looks blue chip, we're in a good position to invest in him now and it may pay real dividends. No idea if the go-home factor is an issue though

The ‘go home factor’ should be completely ignored. If he’s no good and wants to go home, who cares? If he’s average and wants to go home, who cares? If he’s awesome and wants to go home, then we get quality draft picks in a trade for him in the future, much better than the pick in the 20’s we used originally.

Imagine if we didn’t draft Bolton due to the ‘go home’ factor…. after 8-years and 2 flags we get picks 10 & 11 when we originally used pick-29…. lucky we didn’t worry about homesickness that often affects indigenous players more acutely as it did for Bolton.

Pick the best players … ignore the ‘go home’ factor.

had reached their near peak in juniors whilst players like Franklin and Dustin still had much more physical development to come.
I'm not sure if you can ask 'when did you start growing pubic hair' but I know that I my school Peter Caccavello was 2 years ahead of everyone else and didn't grow after age 16.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Looking forward to 'your club rated on their draft picks' bs. They should only do that 4 years after the draft.

is this your first draft?

1 Lalor
6 FOS (unlikely) / Jagga / Smillie
10 Lyndsay/Allan
11(could be 13) Armstrong / Jack Whitlock
18 Trainor / Hynes
trade 1 of 20 & 23 Dodson
24 trade or whoever is the best available/

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I was gonna ask you the same question cos you joined 2 months ago.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

They already do.

How do they know when they first reached puberty?

 

[tigerdan]

We will be trading #10 to Port for #13 + #29 or #36 we want to slide back to get a later pick in the draft

#13 - Jack Whitlock as our Tim Lunch replacement
#18 - Matt Whitlock as a KPD that can pinch hit in the foward line

Only makes sense if we are flipping a pick into next year. Otherwise you just pick the guy at 24.

Can’t think of anything worse.

 

[nugget_12]

Anyone know if the club or league is doing abit of a doco on this draft? Would be great insight to see how the club goes about handling such a massive draft hand and who they select.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Didn’t click until yesterday but one of my good mates actually played at the same club as lalor and helped out doing some coaching back when he was younger

My mate played for the seniors but did some coaching on the side for the younger groups

Asked him about him this morning and he said he’s from a ripper family, older brother who’s a decent footy player and gun cricketer as well

Said he remembers running drills with Sam and even when he was young he thrived on the contest

And even at that age he was also a super talented cricketer

Didn’t really have anything super insightful because it was around 2017 when Sam was still a jr but interesting all the same

If you say so...

If you say so...

Don’t be jealous just because I know someone who had known a future goat

 

[Ancient Tiger]

How do they know when they first reached puberty?

With questions like “when did you notice your balls dropped?”.

They do talk to the players and have medical reports which indicate growth potential…..

 

[SA_Tiger11]

Mods- can we get a poll on which player we would most like a 6.

Lalor is a lock so let’s move to the most interesting pick of the draft.

 

[M0557]

Don't need Dodson if we take Whitlock as a ruck/forward.

Berry instead of Dodson

7th pick to go on Oliver

8th pick, take or trade, depending on Colina's situation

And if we were going to take a punt on another tall, with the rumours of Whitlock potential being a target, why wouldn't we have a crack on Gerreyn instead of Dodson. I think Gerreyn offers a bit more.

 

[Muddiemoose]

How do they know when they first reached puberty?

Dare say it’s part of the various medical checks draftees would undergo, paediatricians are trained to map that type of stuff based on bloods, growth (both height, weight, bone age & decency, ect) and use mapping to gauge potential future development
