List Mgmt. 2024 Draft - The Final Countdown

[tigs2010]

Pick 6 is becoming too difficult, just trade up for 2.

And take Allan lol

 

[lvt06]

Sorry, this is made up. Show me the data!
He takes solid marks, but not pack marks. Neither does Cripps or Dusty or Buddy for that matter.

I read it on twitter, so hopefully it is wrong.

I am just trying to work out why, a 195cm big bodied mid, with speed and endurance that plays like Cripps wouldn't be pick 1? So when I read about his marking, it made sense.

You know Dusty and Rioli both got the same 20m sprint time at draft camp.

Interesting. Rioli and lalor would have much better top speeds though.

I think and tbh Cal has backed this up, there’s probably more chance of Smilie being there at our next pick then Bo.

I think that’s the thinking of our club now. Guarantee Bo and high percentage Smilie gets through or Guarantee Smilie and small chance Bo gets through.

There’s so much going on atm. We’ve settled on Lalor only recently.

Wonder if Dees jump for Bo at 5 now.

What about pick 11 and 23 to giants
For picks 15 and 16

I'd love to see:

Lalor, Smilie and Lindsay then followed up with this trade. Take a sliding Murphy Reid and best available tall forward.

 

[Danog]

Can someone who knows more than the masses sell Bo Allan to me?

I’m trying not to be negative but I hate in between players. Is he a midfielder or is he a defender? Why did he only average 11 touches in the WAFL? What are his strengths? What are his weaknesses?

It is giving me flashbacks to when we reached for Conca.

Was WAFL seniors, and he played as a defender there. Playing mids for WA in the U18s, he averaged 20.

 

[Danog]

Agreed but he doesn't have his midfield craft, composure etc etc

Im not a fan of Allan at #6 specially over Smillie

Smillie athletic profile is totally fine for a big inside mid and would be rare to find another player thats size thats much better
his 20 mtr time of 3.09 is great for the role he plays and will become a beast in 3 years time.

Bo Allan is not a genuine inside mid and may never become one , sure if we want to draft a wing/hb but at pick #6 he would have to be an elite winger or HBF to do that

People forget Smillie was ranked #1 most of the year for a reason and he is quality player and the upside is massive
His contested marking needs work but thats a KPF problem not an inside mid problem and can be improved with his size with good coaching but again he is an inside mid not a foward and thats what we should be concentrating on.

Smillie wont slide to our pick #10 but Allan possibly might if we really like him
Sam Cousins is a good recruiter and has a great eye and will have a massive influence in this call hope he gets this right

Who knows maybe its a bluff to get Saints/Dee's to jump early so we get the player we want at #10
I hope

I'd say FOS is "slowly becoming out of the question" because he won't be there. I've always found the biggest obstacle to drafting a player is someone already picked them

This does not apply to Lindsay.

 

[SleepingGiant]

Interesting. Rioli and lalor would have much better top speeds though.

Remember Martin at the 2019 prelim sprinting and stuffing up a kick against Geelong in the fwd 50. He was just as quick, just not as much endurance for repeat sprints as Rioli.

Always an exception to the rule

I miss emma quayle mock drafts, she used to nail it, had very good mail

He averaged 20 at champs and 6 tackles as a mid and 21 touches at colts.

Has a lot of development needed to be a mid.

But his pros

Very good over head
Left footer and penetrating kick
Leadership
campaigner
Loves to tackle
probably the best athlete in the pool(maybe fos or tauru)
Big lad at 191cm
Versatile
Clean hands
Very good at contested stuff.

He needs to improve his decision making with ball in hand and find easier ball.

Edit: bit late but he’s also good at breaking tackles.

Agree with most Ca man. Not the clean hands though. He’s not a clean one touch handler IMO. Not terrible but compared to the top mids…

I haven't watched Gettable today. Did Twomey mention that we're considering trialing Van Ess and Hotton in the SSP?

yep

But Allan a much much better athlete, and more a midfielder

There’s similarities. Allan still says he’s new to midfield with a lot to learn.

Fact or opinion? Asking for tiger_tough

 

[of unsound mind]

Anyone else heard Josh Smillie has only taken one contested mark in his whole life? Bit of a concern.

People love peddling BS on forums.

 

[avengers]

Cant wait for the melts from all those who have no ****ing idea.

It’s what we are all here for truly! surely we draft at least 2 guys that get written off as being duds before they’ve had one training session

Am I missing something? Did the draft already happen.

Love it when you’ve been reading existential philosophy
