List Mgmt. 2024 Draft Thread

[_Mike_]

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

 

[The Inbetweener]

Wait, the write ups on Hynes say he is explosive. But a few of you are saying he is slow/average. Which one is it??

Every team needs a 190cm, strong bodied and explosive mid. We don't have someone to be that post Bont. So I am okay with the pick. There really wasn't anyone appealing at pick 17 left anyway.

I found it interesting that he told Twomey, that he sees himself being more of a forward that ventures into the midfield, than primarily as midfielder.

Is having four players 190cm plus really the way to go? When we get killed by the lack of small players? Hopefully we drafted him with an eye on the midfield.

Move Naughton back and playing a mid sized forward alongside Jamarra and Darcy could work well.

Excuse me while I duck for cover after suggesting Naughton move back.

Depends whether you think Gallagher, Garcia, west can transition into midfield time. I just think he’s similar to sanders and both aren’t blessed with leg speed and what we desperately need in that area.

We need young mids but burst speed and creativity are massive needs

Ed is only 25 and has speed to burn.
West is primary a pressure fwd, Garcia's body is only just now letting him have a decent crack, and Gallagher hasn't really shown much to be ahead of West or Garcia.

With our next to picks hopefully Sammy can address speed on the wing and down back.

 

[Dav1d]

Hynes looks a lot like Dunkley from that footage.

We should play him in the ruck

 

[_Cerberus_]

Explosive and genuine speed aren’t necessarily the same thing. Bont explodes out of packs but I wouldn’t call him fast.

Clearly. Point is, yes we need general leg speed. But explosive separation is also a good thing too.

 

[Ash1337]

3rd shock gws pick

 

[_Cerberus_]

I seriously hate GWS. Have picked up every player we had been linked to at some point with our second and third picks.

 

[Wizard17]

Damn he was one I liked

 

[adogsfan5]

Content with Hynes

Another mid next?

 

[Foxman98]

Hopefully we get Jack Ough with one of the 2 picks

 

[flipper83]

GWS really messing with the posters in this board. They're pretty good at identifying high level role players

 

[Mofra]

Clearly. Point is, yes we need general leg speed. But explosive separation is also a good thing too.

A bloke who won't get bullied at the contest is certainly welcome too

 

[Doggies_13]

Not a single poster on this board has questioned the kids ability in the slightest.

Posters have queried is he the right selection for our list needs.

Imagine coming on an opinion forum and having a respectful opinion only for the same people to lose their shit because someone’s opinion is different to theirs.

This place has become such a joke no wonder I barely venture here anymore

 

[Doggy Dan]

Competitive beast, we need some winners with some toughness about them.

All the players that show these traits request a trade fairly early in their careers.

 

[Rookie]

Really like what GWS are prioritising. I'm a bit jealous tbh.

 

[Norm De Guerre]

Wait, the write ups on Hynes say he is explosive. But a few of you are saying he is slow/average. Which one is it??

This is the question I cant get my head around as I take my first interest in the draft and look at his highlights and reviews.

Youse experts: Is he a Matt Kennedy analogue. Or am I missing the mark by more than the Charlie Clarke pick?

Kennedy is kinda the vibe I get from my very brief look at his highlights.

Go easy.

 

[Doggies_13]

Ed is only 25 and has speed to burn.
West is primary a pressure fwd, Garcia's body is only just now letting him have a decent crack, and Gallagher hasn't really shown much to be ahead of West or Garcia.

With our next to picks hopefully Sammy can address speed on the wing and down back.

Can only hope we grab some Freijah level talented guys in that wing/half forward/small forward areas.

Our forward half smalls are in need of a massive upgrade

 

[Doggy Dan]

Why does every other team suck Brissie off, and let all their players drift?

 

[doggie dog]

I seriously hate GWS. Have picked up every player we had been linked to at some point with our second and third picks.

I just seriously hate GWS, Toby Greene makes it so easy

 

[JohnnySteel]

Hynes looks to have decent burst from the contest, he isn’t slow. Does anyone have his speed results? Interested to see.
We would be backing him to be that bull mid / forward hybrid in a couple of years once he builds his tank.

 

[Charlie Bucket]

Hopefully we get Jack Ough with one of the 2 picks

Please tell me this kids surname is pronounced Oh?

 

[Ash1337]

None of the Whitlock brothers going first round looks like.

 

[Mutt]

This is the busiest night for me as a mod for a long, long time. What the actual **** if going on with some on here? Be civil and respectful or expect a long holiday. I've had a gutfull of the childish abuse and tantrums on here.

 

[weltschmerz]

Please tell me this kids surname is pronounced Oh?

More like Ow. Sadly not Off.

 

[Dav1d]

Seriously GWS
