List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - The Final Countdown

[sanaya]

Love me a ruck that can find the footy 20 times a game as well. Don’t mind Dodson. Nank not getting any younger and the cupboard is bare underneath him

plus his tap work looks decent and creative which is a plus

Whenever a young ruck is touted as 'plays like an extra midfielder', I think 'Why the **** would we want a shit ruckman?'

Mobile rucks in the mold of Luke Jackson, TDK and Xerri are the new hotness currently

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Not for me. There’s loads of academy kids next year. If Cats go top-4 we could be looking at pick 20-24 in what might be a weak draft. They have 10 games at the Cattery. It’s a big no from me.

And they have a seriously soft draw.

Their average double up opponent is 10.5th favourite for the 2025 flag. So they finish 4th and to the shock of absolutely nobody, get a below AFL average difficulty fixture the next season.

They do not have sufficient available capital to make it worth our while to trade any of our existing picks to them. **** them. If we get lower value picks by trading dow then maybe answer their call.

We are the house.

would be a direct upgrade of our current ruck recruiting strategy of picking up rucks who don't even know how to play

 

[UpTheGutz]

If Cats do want him reckon they’d need to get ahead of GWS at 21 to be sure of it.

20 for their F1? Nah

 

[tiger_tough]

**** me this god damn cheese ad is annoying as **** on mobile.

Dudson is nothing like any of them.

What's mobile? He's slow. And short. He can't jump. And he's not physical.

Bullshit. Rucks aren't there to play football. They're there to ruck.

sure but dodson can also ruck so i don't get this conversation ?

He can ruck against children.

Samson going full Paul Salmon next year so we good

 

[sanaya]

well he's also a child so what's the problem there, it's the u18s competition

 

[prodigy]

We need to take Dodson with any of our picks 18+ ….I don’t care which one.

I don’t care if it’s 18. Whilst there may be better ‘players’ at that pick, there’s only 1 x clear best ruckman. So at 18 there’ll be available for example:

Dodson
M Whitlock
Faull
Trainor
Berry
Hotton
Hynes

and half a dozen other very likely types.

If we don’t take Dodson at 18 and take Hotton
and Swans swoop on Dodson at 19, then there goes the premier ruck option in the draft.

But if we take Dodson and Hotton goes at 19, then we still have many other great options at 20, 23, 24.

So I won’t be melting if we take Dodson at 18
even if it seems a little high - it’s all about the balance of players that are available.

Rucks are probably the least important role on the field.
I'd rather we just draft smart players who are proactive and can read the tap of an oppo ruck.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Because he'll come up against men in the AFL. Bigger men. Better athletes. They'll jump over him, push him out of the way, outbody him and run away from him.

Is he as good a ruck prospect as Josh Fraser was? He's not as good at football.

 

[sanaya]

bad news guys, lalor & smillie can play midfield against children, im off them now


needa draft jagga, fos, draper, langford, travaglia and whichever other duds that played again men only

damn, you're really saying that projected pick 25+ dodson isn't as good of a ruck prospect as pick 1 josh fraser? that's a high bar to pass, literally every single ruck wouldn't be good enough for you with that high of a bar

 

[prodigy]

Dodson is touted as the best ruck prospect.
H-Sun says Geelong wants to recruit.

Meet the basketball convert putting up extraordinary numbers

Alex Dodson is rated as one of the best ruck prospects in this year's draft

Samson would wipe the floor with Dodson.

Oh my god. Pick your dummy up off the floor.

What a pathetic, childish, bitchy, stupid little comment.

No, I'm really saying that superstar junior ruck Josh 'Plays Like an Extra Mid' Fraser was a failure at AFL level. And Dodson is a donkey by comparison.

The best junior rucks rarely make the best senior rucks. Especially the short ones who think they're midfielders.

 

[THE_GUN]

When does your ban expire?

LOl looks like never

 

[THE_GUN]

24 for f1(1)

We will have much better offers than geelongs i think

203cm is short? I feel inadequate

You are if you want to play ruck in the AFL.
