List Mgmt. 2024 Draft Thread

[SweatOnMySkin]

so pick 15 locked in, becomes at a minimum 17 with ashcroft and lombard bids. Potentially as low as 19 if battle compo is first roiund and if a kako bid is in before it. AT least we know where we stand now as far as that pick. That's assuming marshall stays outside the first round which he might not after a big GF today

Brisbane have Ashcroft and Marshall
Gold Coast have Lombard
Battle FA compo
Essendon have kako so our pick will become 20

 

[Mojorisin]

Geelong’s pick becomes 20 after the bids and the Battle free agency compensation

With some ambiguity in the AFL's new method of deciding what picks are handed out via free agency compo I wouldn't be suprised to see one of the GWS free agents get a first round compensation either. Tigers will be getting a pick at the start of the second round for Graham.

Well looks like Geelong will have to offer more in the smith Trade

I think Marshall gets an early second round bid somewhere just after the Geelong pick.

Brisbane have done well in recent years

 

[Munnez]

Had a very good game in general apart from the 1st qtr when he was played forward and hardly saw it. He was the one that sparked his team a few times. His tackling and physicality was pretty unreal. Took Murphy Reid out of the game with that tackle and I counted 3 direct goal assists. Gee whiz we need a player like him desperately, he's getting close to a must have for me.

Only got to watch the last half and Hannaford was a stand out for the Rebels. His attack on the ball and player was eye catching. Would like is to pick him up if at all possible

 

[Munnez]

Will be knocked back a bit by f/s and academy picks.

Berry possible but I don't think Travaglia will make it past the first ten or so live picks.

Would be happy with Berry he would be a great list fit

 

[Pencil case]

Any idea why Hannaford is predicted as a late twenties pick? The kid looks very good. Impressive small forward.

He has come on really late in the year. Stocks rising quickly though especially after that game.

Am I right in thinking he only got a state combine invite?

 

[goodcop badcop]

Am I right in thinking he only got a state combine invite?

Yep. Played as a half back last year and for the first half of this season. Was then switched forward in the 2nd half of this season. His state combine invite was more off his form as a half back flanker where he wasn't as impressive.

Looks much better as a fwd/mid

If Taj and Berry are taken at our first pick, I’d be 100% down to pick Hannaford.

Think we are going to go midfield first. I'm hoping we get that pick in the 20's off St Kilda for Macrae because I think he'd be a better chance there

 

[Pencil case]

Taj Hotton (or Joe Berry) at 15.

Hannaford (or Oliver if picked Berry) at 24.

That’s an elite draft haul, would be stoked.

My preference assuming we take 4 picks at the draft is hotton at Cats first
Hannaford in the second round via upgrading our current first.
With Urquhart and Hargrave picked up in the 3rd/4th round.
If we take an extra late pick I'd be picking Taj Stanley.

Can probably lock in Josh Sanders too as our last pick. We’ve met with him multiple times.

Exceeds our Taj quota

What’s our Sanders quota?

 

[goodcop badcop]

We met with De La Rue a few times last year and he went undrafted. Doesn't look like he has a combine invite, so maybe we want him for our Footscray side?

 

[goodcop badcop]

I hope we take more then 4 picks to the draft. It's a good draft, I want at least 5. Preferably 7.

Are we expecting Keath and JJ to retire? There will be a lot of vacancies.

I think 7 is too many, personally. I'm not sure how we'd even open up that many spots.

I would like to think we can turn Smith and (a contracted) Macrae into at least 3 picks inside the top 30. From there I'd be satisfied taking 1-2 more.

 

[goodcop badcop]

I think both should go. Keath is no longer in the best 22 and we have enough back up. JJ has played 28 games in 3 years, he's consistently injured and is 33 at the end of next year. It's time to move on.

Smith, Macrae, Garcia, Rypstra, Keath, JJ and Bedendo is 7. I think you could easily pay out one or both of Scott and Baker if there's a trade or free agency target as well. Neither would be on much. Really 7 list changes isn't many, we average 8. The league average is 9.

I think you could get a similar haul to the 2014 draft given the depth of this draft. We took 8 players in this draft. Didn't have a 1st round pick and ended up with 3 premiership players and 2 All Australians. Richmond had 5 premiership players in this draft all towards the back end of the draft as well. They took 10 players. It can be done.
