List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - The Final Countdown

[Rubber Hips]

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

You know the SM work experience kid will ‘accidentally’ post our picks before draft night event

 

[Mr Magic]

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

disagree

more capable than Caddy, based on how I interpret what have I have seen and project

One of Caddy's weaknesses was the length of his stride. Hynes has a shorter stride making him more agile and a better prospect in the midfield. Maybe not as good as Caddy aerially but Hynes has a great centre of gravity, balance and bulldozer aspect. I really like him. I will be disappointed if he is not better than Caddy. I think Hynes has a greater versatility aspect as well. He is not a superstar but I think he could become terrific support for the top liners. Apparently is a bit of onfield talker which is a plus especially as a richmond supporter

 

[of unsound mind]

Really good post this one. I have been wondering what type of player Ooze would want that compliments his game style.

good kick and speed. That’s why I’d prefer Smilie and Reid over Allen I think

Then you’re talking Lindsay and Berry…

If he gets to Saints 2nd pick, I think we'd be calling them up to trade.

8 and F2 for 11 and 20.

I think if he gets to their 1st pick wed be calling them for a trade....

to be fair caddy went at pick 7 and this dude is projected 20+, albeit caddy was drafted and developed by the basket case that is the gold coast suns, so if hynes isn't better than caddy it wouldn't be the end of the world. caddy was also a talker and captained the northern knights!

and i'm not saying i'm right, just saying what i see, which could well be wrong. so you could very well be right and i'd be glad to admit that, we just have to wait half a decade or so

bolding is my own doing


Rival clubs expect Richmond to select powerhouse midfielder and fend-off machine Sam Lalor to help kick-start the club’s rebuild with the prized first pick in Wednesday night’s national draft.

The man who has been likened to Richmond champion Dustin Martin for his strength and goal kicking is tipped to head to Punt Rd amid a draft crop lauded for its evenness.

Recruiters on Sunday said Richmond talent boss Blair Hartley had given away few hints about his intentions, keeping clubs in the dark about the likely order on Wednesday night.

But the Bacchus Marsh bull, who has also shone playing as a dangerous marking forward, remains favoured to head to Punt Rd with the club’s first top-three pick in 16 years.

It leaves North Melbourne considering the safety of well-rounded midfielder Finn O’Sullivan or the upside of fast-rising intercepting backman Alix Tauru.

Tauru, whose game has been likened to Hawthorn captain James Sicily, is the bolter of this year’s draft for his brilliant athleticism and matchwinning aerial ability in the back half.

It is a quandary for the Kangaroos who are already flush with gun midfielders and are weighing up the reliability and consistency of O’Sullivan against Tauru’s rebound game.

The Kangaroos could shuffle back from pick two in a swap with Adelaide where Tauru could still be available if North elects to take the backman over another jet midfielder.

Carlton has pick three and are strongly considering O’Sullivan – who is Sam Walsh’s cousin, as well as South Australian midfielder Sid Draper, and Oakleigh ball magnet Jagga Smith.

Adelaide at pick four could overlook the local talent Draper if he was still available for big-bodied 190cm onballer Harvey Langford to help give the Crows some midfield size and strength.

The Crows overlooked local talent Brad Ebert for champion midfielder Patrick Dangerfield amid significant backlash from fans in 2007 and a similar situation could unfold this week with the 180cm Draper from South Adelaide.

Melbourne has been linked to whichever top-line midfielder slides to the Demons at pick five to add another young first-class ballwinner or a Jake Lever replacement in Tauru if he slides past North.

Richmond, at pick six, has been keeping close tabs on tall midfielder Josh Smillie who at 194cm offers rare versatility to impact in the midfield and as a forward.

It leaves St Kilda weighing up potential slider Draper and Bendigo running machine Tobie Travaglia amid potential bids on Essendon’s academy prospect Isaac Kako and Gold Coast’s Leo Lombard.

The Saints are also in talks to trade one of the picks for two later selections in the first round, with Greater Western Sydney able to consider a deal with picks 15, 16 and 21.

Brisbane will take the best player in this year’s draft, gun academy prospect Levi Ashcroft, in the first few picks after taking out last year’s flag.

Jay Clark thinks we are taking Lalor?

Welcome FOS

Jay Clark thinks we are taking Lalor?

Welcome FOS

to be fair he says "rival clubs" say that, but i'm not sure whether clubs would bother picking up unknown callers

 

[Barunga Bullet]

For 24 ?
We won't accept anything from any of the probable top 8 sides.
Wce won't if they have eyes on Wagner.
Leaves probably out of the desperate ones Cats & Ess.
Bombers are interesting.
After kako bid.
Pick 11 for their f1
Pick 24 for dees f1.
(2024)-1/6/10/18/23
(2025)-1/5*/6*/19
That's 6 top 10s in 2yrs.

I heard a little whisper today. I don't think essendon will trade either future first as they are earmarked for a young interstate player who wants to return to Victoria at the end of 2025.

Just need Ralphy saying the same thing and FOS is confirmed

 

[BAFLD]

It chews up a list spot.... that's what deletes the pick.

Grimes, Martin, Naismith, Pickett, Bolton, Rioli, Graham, Baker, Cumberland - don’t we have 9 Primary List Spots available? Young makes it 8?

Reid?

if that happens prodigy will be found unconscious after all the blood rushed away from his head

Probably 2 x top 5 picks for Essendon in 2025. They'll need more for Reid, a lot more I'd say.

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Reid?

Yep

 

[Barunga Bullet]

Probably 2 x top 5 picks for Essendon in 2025. They'll need more for Reid, a lot more I'd say.

I'd say at least 3 rd1 picks, 2 in the top 10.

 

[tigs2010]

I was thinking the blood would be rushing to his "head" but maybe we are thinking different things.

 

[tigs2010]

Yep

The guy doesn't want success?

Imagine it was Tom Green

 

[Tiger1974]

We have 8 picks. We can only use 6. We will be trading out at least 2.

How come people on here keep making shit up? And how come they say shit with purpose and confidence like they know and are correct?

this is a stronger draft for mids than the Lynch/Prestia draft I think, especially for VC

 

[Grockadoc]

Just done my mock draft:

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I'd much prefer Langford to Smilie

Too slow for our team requirements...

 

[Cotchy9]

Just done my mock draft:

View attachment 2167870

Landing 2 gun mids and Armstrong with our first 3 picks would be huge. Praying Armstrong is there at our 3rd pick
