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
 
Yeah they’re not exactly the same player, Reid has more flair and Lipinski is bigger and better overhead. But as a loose comparison they’re both average paced half forwards with some defensive shortcomings that overcome their limitations with clever movement and good skills. We could have just played Caleb Daniel at half forward if that’s what we were looking for. I think Murphy is good, but not for us.

Going only on that video, Reid may not be quick, but it seems like he is fully able to utilize the pace he does have. Fast brain. Doesnt mind carrying the ball through contact either. I wouldnt be against taking him

If Reid slides we would be silly not to pick him. Would complement Sanders nicely.

If a slider doesn’t make it to our pick I am hoping for Hannaford would be great in our forward line. Haynes or Datoli would be an ok if all the quick small forward options are off the board. Both have forward/mid capabilities to add to our setup for both short and long term.

Like the look of Oliver. For our second pick if he lasts that long. Alger seems to be a player with skills we need. I think we need to prioritise a combination of speed, endurance and kicking efficiency in our prospects.

I'd happily take Davis at pick 17. He's played (and performed) against men in the WAFL.

I'm far less enthused about this draft than many. There is a lot of value in later picks - guys like Barrat and Alger seem like they could make the grade. Davidson is ready to go and Richmond should jump on him with one of their second rounders.
Davidson looks a plug and play upgrade on McNeil and be a credible goal kicking threat to make his direct opponent a bit more accountable.
 
Dattoli is basically Charlie Clarke with less flair. If we wouldn’t play Clarke then I don’t see the point in drafting Dattoli.
He might be more composed than what Charlie could manage. Sometimes the biggest difference is what is between the ears rather than skillset
 
Who are your favourites?
Might end up been a vanilla draft but I’d rather vanilla over a shit sandwich
Talent is pretty well known across the whole draft these days. So if a side requires a specific type need to go early chanced of getting a hit as a rookie are slim at best.

And with Bont getting near 30 we need to be bold and take some risks to hopefully get a shot at another flag
 
ARGH - annoyed with some of these 'highlight' videos. The ones are basically the player lining up and kicking a goal for 1:30 of a 2 minute video. Its a highlight vid - we presume he kicks the goal. If the player is a forward, wed like to see taking marks and the way the player moves in the forward line, but particualry for a mid, we dont care that much. Show us the midfield and stoppage craft, FFS

Of all the players that might be available at our pick this kid excites me the most. A fast brain and clean hands more than makes up for half a yard of pace.

This channel does a pretty decent job at showing all of that
Especially compared to what the AFL puts out

Just saw a chart on testing on the Draft General Discussion thread. Hannaford appears to have put in a poor 2km time?
Yeah, he's done some perfectly good yoyo tests so maybe a bad day.
He wanted to slide to our pick so he chose to back off a bit in the 2km. Wouldn't want to end up at Richmond or GWS now would he?
