List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - The Final Countdown

[noobermensch]

Just about managed to sneak this one in before the deadline with draft day just around the corner now, hope I didnt butcher the edit too badly.

In this guide to the 2024 AFL draft I cover the first round in detail providing tier groupings, rankings and in depth player profiles. Outside of the first round I break the likely prospects up into their position types and rank them to make it easier for you to figure out which players your team could be targeting to fill that annoying hole in your lineup.

Huge thanks to everyone that's watched my content over the course the 2024 season, its been a privilege and a ton of fun to provide you with vision of the top end and the deep prospects in this bumper crop.

Tigers finish with:

  • = 3 flexible midfielders, 1 key fwd/ruck, 1 key back/fwd, 1 running defender/winger/med fwd
• 4 x F1s (Rich, North, Ess, St.K), 1 x F2 (Rich), 2 x F3 (North, St.K)
  • = Sharp, Cadman (for 2 x F1), F1, F2, F3, Kellaway

 

[partycorolla]

I wonder if we could tempt the Bummers to trade with 2 x F1 (they have theirs and someone else's) for pick 11. They get a good player before Kako is bid on and may just go for it. We still end up with 3 picks in the first 10, 7 in the top 24 and have 3 first rounders in 2025, possibly 4 if we trade out a later one (say 23 or even 24) possibly for a F1 and a later pick in the late 30s or 40s this year....

All depends on if Kako gets bid on before us. If Bombers say no, we just bid on Kako...

There will be campaigners still whining about how we got bent over for #20......

i still don't see it with him, a less athletic, slightly taller caddy but worse

just don't see where we'd fit him into our side even before thinking about who we bring in this year and next year (possibly sharp).

i can maaaybe see getting him if there's a slider like FOS/jagga/draper at 6 that we take instead of smillie, but even then, he's still just kmart lalor


however i am willing to be wrong and accept that others who've watched much more juniors than me can project him as a chad warner/clayton oliver type mid or something and if that's the case, fine, we can get him, but just keep him away from the pokies & the good stuff

Thanks for the mountain of work you've put in. Im sure everyone here is very grateful but either way I speak for everyone around here anyway

Hopefully we pick a few that you've got heaps of vids on.

I'm with you. I'm not completely convinced on that type of player generally. He has been pretty good though.

 

[Azzleberry]

I just can't see Smillie lasting to 12.

I mean the beauty of a mock is the ability to be biased

 

[Azzleberry]

Gees the draft is only 4 days away…so soon

Shame…I’m gonna miss 963 pages of speculation…..not


Bring it on for the love of god

Will be quickly followed by 500 pages of X ran a record 2km, Y is a beast and ready to tear it up etc

Going dark on this thread. I'll be back for draft night.

He is good …. He will make it

 

[Karp3_dm]

 

[TJTIGER]

Was thinking more like Floyd burmeister, Josh Murphy, Hamish Davis

Can we really pass on a name like Burmeister??!!!

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Nope

I would even baulk if they offered F1 & F2 for 11

I prefer we go
3 top 10s the next 2 drafts.
Nths & Ess next year.

Calculating Cal's phantom draft 6pm tomorrow, how sad is it that I've gone and figured that out?

Wait till next year mate.
Kid has Richmond written all over him.

When is the club going to put our picks up on the website? Can't be too far away.
