List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - The Final Countdown

[tigs2010]

Good luck to the crows trading a 2nd round pick that they already traded. It’s basic ****ing journalism.

They need to trade the F3's for a 2nd I assume is the plan

 

[guruisatiger]

I'm pretty attached to us using one of our picks in the 20s on Angus Clarke. Think he will forge a better career at half back than Travaglia. Clarke has the full package and at 190ish cm is a really nice size to both dash / create but also defend a variety of forwards. His also shown he can win it back, as well as take kick ins. He had a few injuries which limited his exposure this year, but he managed a senior game in the SANFL with Glenelg and won his share of the ball despite looking about 70kgs ringing wet. It's a yes please from me Blair

Yes agree have mentioned him a few times very exciting prospect

If FOS gets to 6 & Smillie 10 then Morro will post a video of himself having a tug on the draft board.

 

[Finn9]

Jagga before FOS, UpTheGutz vindicated

 

[Finn9]

I think Carlton take FOS in this scenario. It's why I've said no-trade is our best chance of landing FOS.

Draper at 6 would be red hot , I dont think we'd take him though which is wild. Falls to Saints

 

[Morro]

If FOS gets to 6 & Smillie 10 then Morro will post a video of himself having a tug on the draft board.

Confirmed.

Ill post that regardless

Your dms aren’t full of these previews already, as he keeps trying to get you to subscribe to his Onlyfans? Or is that just my inbox?

Awkward, but confirmed.

RICH 1. Lalor
ADEL 2. Jagga
CARL 3. Draper
NTH 4. Tauru
MELB 5. Langford
RICH 6.

If we take FOS pick 1, Lalor gets to us at 6 I reckon.
However, Melbourne the big danger as I reckon they'd pass on Langford to get one of them.

 

[Morro]

Finn O’Sullivan (St Kilda)
Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro
Midfielder, 182cm, 30/5/2006
Talent League stats (avg): 17.3 disposals, 5.3 inside 50s, 1.3 goals
The Age’s August top 30: 3 October top 30: 7 November top 40: 4
Agility test: 8.14 secs 20m sprint: 2.99 secs 2km time trial: 6:28 mins
This would be an incredible result for the Saints. Like Lalor, O’Sullivan had an interrupted season with injuries, but he was outstanding in his bottom-age under-18 campaign last year and the best player at the under-16 championships in 2022. O’Sullivan is classy, an excellent runner and marks well for his size. Does he have the same drive as others?

That last bit is what I was getting at with FOS v Lalor a while back Calcium Man

richoatthedisco does not like this.

Come on my laughy friend, SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DickieKnee]

Imagine the melts on both boards if we take Tauru with pick 1.

Should do it just to troll norf. Then go no sorry Sam Lalor.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Adelaide may be forced to give up a future second-round pick to move two spots up this year’s draft order as part of a bold play for Victorian midfielder Jagga Smith.
The Crows currently hold pick 4 in next Wednesday’s national draft but have held discussions with North Melbourne about the possibility of trading up to pick 2.
It is believed that the player in Adelaide’s sights is Smith, a prolific ball-winning midfielder who captained Vic Metro at the under-18 national championships.
Rival clubs believe the Crows are fearful that Carlton would select Smith at pick 3 if Adelaide remains at pick 4.
Smith has been arguably the best-performed underage footballer in the country this year, with recruiters describing him as a “bankable” high-end prospect and future AFL captain.
The 18-year-old would add a different dynamic to the Crows’ midfield with his speed and agility.

Jagga Smith in action for Victoria Metro earlier this year. Picture: Paul Kane/AFL Photos
He averaged 33.3 disposals, 7.9 clearances and 154 ranking points from 12 games for the Oakleigh Chargers in the Coates Talent League this year.
It is understood that Adelaide recently offered North Melbourne pick 4 and two future third-round selections in exchange for pick 2, but the offer was knocked back.
The Kangaroos are believed to be eyeing pick 4 and a future second-round selection to get the deal done.
The pre-draft pick swap window closed last Friday, but clubs are still able to make live trades during the draft.
Richmond is still expected to take midfielder-forward Sam Lalor with the No.1 pick.
North Melbourne has been linked to midfielder Finn O’Sullivan in recent days if it holds on to pick 2, despite long being favoured to select exciting 193cm utility Alix Tauru.

The 2024 AFL Draft prospects tell us who their dream grand final entertainment would be.
If Adelaide was to beat Carlton to Smith, the Blues could nab South Australian Sid Draper.
Carlton coach Michael Voss and list manager Nick Austin flew to Adelaide in the past week to meet with the explosive midfielder.
If North Melbourne was to overlook Tauru at pick 2, he would not be expected to get past Melbourne at pick 5 given the Demons are big fans of the Gippsland Power high-flyer.
Richmond looks almost certain to select big-bodied midfielder Josh Smillie with pick 6, while Brisbane Lions father-son prospect Levi Ashcroft is also expected to receive a bid within the first six picks.


Interesting times ahead.
If Crows move to 2 and get Smith and the Dees take Taru at 5....we could have the option of FOS, Smillie & Langford at 6..
We're in a good spot for sure

 

[tigs2010]

If we take FOS pick 1, Lalor gets to us at 6 I reckon.
However, Melbourne the big danger as I reckon they'd pass on Langford to get one of them.

Could see FOS getting through Dees if they want a big mid but hard to see Langford over Lalor

 

[tiger_tough]

If FOS gets to 6 & Smillie 10 then Morro will post a video of himself having a tug on the draft board.

 

[Finn9]

Take FOS at 6 if he's there and give the Sainters 10 & one of the later picks for 7 and grab Smillie. That's 3 number 1 pick talents

 

[Calcium Man]

They need to trade the F3's for a 2nd I assume is the plan

It’s the only plan for that scenario and should be mentioned by the journalist.

Good luck to crows and Roos working that one out, I’m guessing half the clubs won’t be able to trade a 2nd, most of those that have them probably wouldn’t mind holding them in hopes of buying into this draft, plus involving a third party just makes it more complicated.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Dees could take Smillie at 9.

Not if they take Langford at 5.

Does he have the same drive as others?

That last bit is what I was getting at with FOS v Lalor a while back Calcium Man

It's so much nonsense. Does a kid who has spent hours in the car multiple times per week growing up, then gone to boarding school for his footy, and is renowned as an on-field leader who drives his team in big moments, 'have the drive'?

Spare me.

The kid can't wait to get into an AFL system. He was good enough to be drafted last year and has been spinning his wheels, combined with the injuries. He will flourish in a full-time environment.

He's not as intense as Jagga. Mark Waugh was not as intense as Justin Langer.

I think Carlton take FOS in this scenario. It's why I've said no-trade is our best chance of landing FOS.

I agree with Carlton taking FOS, so how is 'no-trade' our best chance of landing FOS? Someone will take him before pick 6. If not Carlton, then Adelaide or Melbourne.

Jagga before FOS, UpTheGutz vindicated

All that would do is further reinforce that Hamish Ogilvie is head and shoulders the worst judge of smalls in the AFL recruitment scene. Jordan Galluci at pick 15. Chayce Jones at 9, Ned McHenry at 16, Will Hamill at 30, Harry Schoenberg at 24, Luke Pedlar at 11, Brayden Cook at 25, Sam Berry at 28, James Rowe at 38, Josh Rachele at 6.

If he picks 'em, it's bad news for them.

 

[HumanMeatball]

Stop Trying to make FOS a thing its thankfully not happening.

IN Lalor
In Smillie

 

[Michaels]

Get it out of your head.

North is not sliding back to pick 10.

It ain't happening regardless of how much you wish for it.

Unless Tigers give up 6 as part of the trade, the deal will be made with one of Crows, Aints or Dees.

Take it to the bank or bookmark it if that is your preference.

I hope for your sake that your version of 'take it to the bank' pans out better than the Ox's version that had unravelled before his very eyes yesterday.

 

[Michaels]

Draper at 6 would be red hot though, I dont think we'd take him though which is wild. Falls to Saints

We absolutely have to take Draper if he is at 6.

Would be a huge blunder if we didn't IMO

 

[the underdog]

I know we are heavily linked to Smillie at 6, but I wonder if that’s because the wide assumption is that FOS/ Draper will be off the board.

Given we are apparently torn on Lalor/FOS- surely we select Finn > Smillie if it comes to that?

And if Blues take FOS at 3 and Draper / Smillie are both available at 6, do we still opt for Smillie?

 

[Hamsatma]

I think Carlton take FOS in this scenario. It's why I've said no-trade is our best chance of landing FOS.

Also if north rate fos>tauru at 2 surely they still do at 4?

 

[Finn9]

We absolutely have to take Draper if he is at 6.

Would be a huge blunder if we didn't IMO

Agreed, its just the Smillie noise at 6 is super consistent. Blair doesn't strike me as a bloke to make promises, but the smoke smells a little bit like one

 

[tiger_tough]

It makes no sense for North to trade for future selections. They need selections this year.
Strange strategy if true.

Better than nothing though? If they're fixated on picking Tauru, they might as well bank an F2 pick for free.

 

[strauchy]

I get the feeling we will take Smillie now no matter what at 6. Unless FOS is there, which is extremely unlikely.

 

[Danog]

I agree with Carlton taking FOS, so how is 'no-trade' our best chance of landing FOS? Someone will take him before pick 6. If not Carlton, then Adelaide or Melbourne.

'No-trade' is referencing an Adelaide and North trade, which Adelaide are reportedly wanting to do to secure Smith.

According to C4, Carlton rate Smith over FOS.

If Adelaide trades with North and takes Smith, then Carlton's next preference is FOS.

If North refuse all trades (they shouldn't, but this dumbass club traded pick 25 in a superdraft for a 28 year old midget when they're in dire need of talls), Smith goes to Carlton and Draper goes to Adelaide.

 

[Calcium Man]

We absolutely have to take Draper if he is at 6.

Would be a huge blunder if we didn't IMO

Draper is an average kick.

Jagga is an excellent kick over 30-40m

The other 4 are, if not elite kicks they’re bloody close to it and all have penetration.

Yze wants excellent kicks, and kicking isn’t a skill that I can think of a player going from being an average kick to becoming excellent kick?

I just don’t see a world where we pick Draper, unless it’s at 10.
