FYI

Will add a 2024 NAB Draft & Trade tracker thread, stickied.

Tag me when we have a confirmed trade/draft and I will update the thread accordingly

We have three main list spots, so I assume we either move on pick 48 or delist Keath. Presumably we’ll pick up some other team’s discard with Rypstra’s rookie spot as per protocol.

Don't know how Keath hasn't already been delisted

Probably will be announced soon with Clarke being re-signed hopefully. List Lodgement is 31st of October.

Can see us optimising list spots by delisting and rookie-ing Charlie Clarke. Might give the kick up the bum he needs. Need to take as many kids as we can in this draft.

 

[King Harold]

Would love we could get into the top 10 and be lucky enough to get Murphy Reid.
Lovely kick, smart and got some wheels.
Or a position for Xavier Lindsay. Excellent footy IQ and lovely left foot.

Cost would be high and it is an even draft. I would rather the club have a crack with the picks we have. Fill some needs with players like Hannaford, Datoli, Moraes, Oliver and Gross.

The tigers have so many early picks I wonder if we good offer them 17 and future second for their pick 11,

I'm getting pretty interested in Hamish Davis the more I watch him. We have a history of taking players that do very well late in the year.

Bodes well for Hannaford then.

Davis looks great - I’m very keen on the WA crop this year - Allan, Davis, Urquhart all as big-bodied mids would be great pickups for us. Clancy Dennis was AA at full back and I’ve spoken about him before but Jaxon Artemis would be an awesome JJ replacement.

 

[Northernsoul74]

I just want some X factor.

If you could get Reid I would do it.

With pick 17? I'd be happy with him at pick 25. Only thing I don't like about him is that ball drop.

We also tend to pick quite a few utility types lately too I've noticed. So bodes well for those two.

I have him being somewhere within the range of both those picks. Similarly with Hannaford.

I like the idea of targeting versatile players with midfield potential. Can rack up AFL experience in other positions whilst pinch hitting in the odd centre bounce (ie. Allan on a wing or HBF), before moving into the midfield full-time and exploding (a la Richards and hopefully Freijah).

Any pure mid we draft this year will spend little to no time in the midfield outside of the two’s. I’m hoping for some AFL ready talent who can impact at some level from day one.

 

[DiamondDogs8]

I also think it bodes well that around the late teens and early second round (our first 2 picks), there are a glutton of talls - which a heap of teams will be targeting.

Brisbane picking at 24 is handy as I suggest they will be looking at a tall forward to replace Daniher. (Or will that pick be absorbed by an Ashcroft bid?)

Hopefully that gives us a pick of the bunch with smaller, speedier types around that range.

Ashcroft bid will take 24 off them

Also at our pick in the 40's look out for the kids that have got there the hard way and improved very rapidly late. We have a history of taking those sorts late (McNeil, Vandermeer, Gags ect)

Agree. If it's just 6-8 elite candidates at the top end of the draft then you want to trade up even if it means you only get one crack at it.

But if it's an even draft of high quality right through to ... pick 20? pick 25? pick 30 even? Then you are better off having two cracks at it. Double the chance of landing a 100 or 200 gamer.

These sort of drafts don't come around all that often. If the pundits are correct we already have an OK hand on draft night. That's why I was wondering if Sammy might even consider trading a Fx pick for something in the top 30.

That would depend on how desperate we are to get new quality 18yo talent in the door, and where we see serious deficiencies over the next 3-5 years. Tasmania's entry into the AFL might also be starting to figure in the minds of list managers.

Looking at the state testing results and Hugh Boxshall did really bloody well is in the top 5 of 4 out of the 5 tests

Some of this perhaps?

I think woolies sell it (but don't tell any of the oppo scouts!)

Another WA boy if I’m not mistaken?

 

[Wizard17]

Yeah from Claremont. 187cm inside midfielder, remember him taking one of the marks of the U18 champs. He scored a 6.08 2km, a 7.980 agility, 73cm standing VJ and a 86cm running VJ at the state combine.

Edit: This is the mark. No regard for his own safety whatsoever

 

[Ash1337]

48 should end up 46/7 by the time it gets to selection (6 bids and about 8 picks consumed. 7 if there's a bid for the Hof).
