AFLW 2024 - Round 8 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
No current season stats available
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
Completed my post trade period phantom draft, I got a bit carried away. Planned to do the first round and ended up doing three rounds to cover all Dogs picks.

A little write up on the dogs selections
Pick 21 Oliver Hannaford
Did someone want an upgrade at HFF?
Capable of the elusive repeat sprints and defensive pressure whilst also being an offensive threat. Hannafords end to the year shows he has alot of development left in him.
Pick 29 Christian Moraes
Whilst he had a somewhat underwhelming top age year that can somewhat be blamed on the depth in the midfield of the teams he played in. Has shown to be a consistent accumulator on the inside and out, Moraes uses his endurance to issue death by a thousand cuts we haven't had on the wing since prime Lachie Hunter.
36. Angus Clarke
Coming off his top age year looking like a 15 year old isn't the only comparison to Bailey Dale. Capable of dash and dare off of half-back whilst also being able to intercept defence seems his best position, but he is also more then handy up forward able to hit the scoreboard in many different ways. More of a boom or bust type but at pick 36 the potential boom is irresistible. Potentially takes over from JJ.PLAYERCARDSTART31Bailey Dale

Pick 49 Lucca Grego
Whilst he has cut his teeth as a midfielder, Grego has all the tools to be a Lockdown defender. Tough as nails, hates losing 1v1s and tackles hard. He may not have the ceiling of some others but has a very high floor and could replace Duryea as early as 2026.
Think it's 27 now. Wonder if we'd consider 35 and 48 for it (120 more points for them).Ashcroft bid will take 24 off them
He is certainly one I don't have for us really. We tend to take players who have a very strong end to their year at our picks in the last few years or have rose in their draft year from relative obscurity Moraes doesn't exactly fit with what we tend to do.Christian Moreas has been very underwhelming this year. He probably slides into the 50s.

Hamish Davis ran one of the best 2km time trials at the combine. At the later picks Urquhart also ran one of the best too. Just because they are tall and big bodied doesn't mean they don't cover ground as easily. Macrae got caught out by being too one dimensional, not having a second position that you can play in and still contribute to the team hurts when rotations are limited as they are now. He had one position he plays well which is inside midfield and that was it.Whenever Bevo was asked about why he had dropped certain players (Macrae, Daniel etc) earlier this year he always replied with what the data was telling them about where the game is heading implying that you need players who can cover ground. We dont have much depth in this type of player which is why Vanders and Gallagher get so many games (I still have faith in Gallagher long term).
I just cant see us picking big body mids with 1st/2nd round picks if these elite running, pacey, flanker turn midfielder types are available.
Fair point, I’ll have a look into him.Hamish Davis ran one of the best 2km time trials at the combine. At the later picks Urquhart also ran one of the best too.

We do love ourselves an overager in that range too, even taking Gags recently.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)
We took players who performed well in the 2km time trials last year. I suspect we keep that trend so guys who are at the pointy end of the time trials at state or national testing come into our frame.Whenever Bevo was asked about why he had dropped certain players (Macrae, Daniel etc) earlier this year he always replied with what the data was telling them about where the game is heading implying that you need players who can cover ground.

I just cant see us picking big body mids with 1st/2nd round picks if these elite running, pacey, flanker turn midfielder types with
good Footy IQ and ideally competitiveness are available.

3 of our picks last year were in the top 12 for the 2km time trial (Freijah, AOD and Croft).I wrote something similar last night, but kept having issues with my internet (which is why my last post from last night came across as a bit annoyed).
We've tried to bring in athletic types in O'Driscoll, Rypstra, Jones, Parker and Bedendo with later picks and it hasn't worked out for us apart from Gallagher. I'd like us to go hard for leg speed early this year and even look at bringing our future 1st or 2nd pick in to play to secure two of Hannaford, Hotton and Berry. We need quality leg speed.
3 of our picks last year were in the top 12 for the 2km time trial (Freijah, AOD and Croft).
I can't see us abandoning the strategy. Lobb has a huge TOG too which is why we targeted him, massive tank for a big guy.

Attacking half backWhat type of player is Harry Charleson?
Surely we trade up to 11 or 10 with our future first this years 3rd.Hannaford and Berry are the two we need with 17 but we might get beaten to the punch in both. GWS looking to replace their FA/trade losses this year a real risk to go for similar types to us.
I appreciate the feedback.I'd obviously be thrilled with Hannaford and Clarke. Moraes is the opposite, one I struggle to like. Don't like his kicking, defensive game and his contested game. Grego is one I don't have a strong opinion about, but I like that he can play a number of roles and has a good defensive game so I don't mind this at all. Overall I'd be happy with it.
Good effort, but as a whole, I think you need to think about this a bit more no offense. Saints taking two similar types that may not transition into the midfield. GWS taking 3 metro players when they have openly stated they like the country boys as they are more likely to stay. Swans taking Dodson when they just took a 1st round ruck in Green last year. I know this is a bit of fun, but I find all these very unrealistic.
Hopefully we trade in ahead of them and nab oneHannaford and Berry are the two we need with 17 but we might get beaten to the punch in both. GWS looking to replace their FA/trade losses this year a real risk to go for similar types to us.
