2024 Draft Thread.

[Winmar2Lockett]

Jesse Dattoli BOG again for Northern today in a huge upset win over Eastern. Smillie in the best for Eastern.

Jesse would be available for our second and has this season progressed to a ft mid, extracting and superb kicking off both feet. When he starts building his tank to max potential, he will be a star.

So how good was Murphy Reid today?

 

[MightySaint]

If there's even a hint that Smilie's work rate is not up to scratch we cannot take him at our picks. There's enough evidence out there that talented kids that don't work hard enough have a low strike rate. It's a big gamble to take on the penny dropping with a top 8 pick

 

[SaintsSeptember]

I’d still like to use 25 and F1st to get 15 & 16 (or similar)…grab Dodson and Hynes.

7 & 8 and these 2…job done

I'd like Gross at one of those picks, maybe not so versatile , but most of our other young players are.

Once kids get into a professional environment these things are quickly addressed.

Trust our development team… they’ve done a fantastic job over the past few years.

in the same thing i read they think they are getting 6 and 20 for rioli,surely not?2 for bolton is understandable,but not rioli

They know its not Cyril right?

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Gold Coast will definitely be looking to move those on, no way they survive a Lombard bid.

Will they have balls enough to go for an earlier pick, or will they shift them into next year?
Would we take 20 for our next years first?

 

[StFly]

Unfortunately they get their info from here.

That was

Thankfully people got salty and shipped him off though.

If we do that everyone in the recruitment team should be taken out the back and shot

 

[Hayes4PM]

Was Trout the bed making critic...??? And do we know if Smilie has fitted sheets or not?

What do you think our next years first is worth?
Clue: StKilda took a future first and 2 x second round picks in exchange for pick 10 in 2016.

Would expect our Future First would be in the range of Pick 6 - 12 next year. Whether next year’s draft pick 6-12 is worth a top 10 this year depends on the club.

If we can get a pick inside the top 10 this year then we snap their hand off and go all in on finishing as high as possible next year

 

[Teflon]

Yeah, by all accounts next years draft pool isn’t great the there Tassie to deal with. Beating Carlton was fun but really would have been handy having 5 and 6 and nabbing a Smillie or Langford. Now we’re praying for sliders

Yes….it had me scratching my head …so now we pray for crumbs and players t slip instead on controlling our own destiny..anyhoo we move on

Could be a chance if richmond get all the picks they reckon they will. They won’t want to take them all in this draft

Looks like you've got, in no order
1. Smith
2. O'Sullivan
3. Smillie
4. Lalor
5. Langford
6. Draper
7. Reid
8. Trainor

Without taking into account that there could easily be bolters before the draft, if we have 7/8 we are guaranteed two of those players. Looks like a good spot to be in.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Very good overhead - he can absolutely play forward as well.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Heard he can’t bothered even putting his sheets on. He doesn’t wash his pillow cases and has too many fluffy pillows on his bed.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Very in the second half (didn’t see the first).

 

[SaintSteele9]

Yeah but imagine throwing that game and then drafting two busts as we watch picks 7 and 8 become superstars.

A relative of mine is involved with Coates League so I’ll see if there’s any useful info floating about. Smillie in particular is one I can’t quite figure out for myself

 

[gringo2011]

We lack speed around the ball but have buckets of it when it is flicked out wide.

Hares like Sinclair, Henry, Hill, NWM etc.

Our trouble is actually getting our hands on the thing during clearance. That’s why the possibility of Smillie sliding to us is just incredible.

Smilie was so shit in the champs I have a hard time rating him. He’s real boom or bust to me. I prefer others just for the risk. I can’t see Lyon loving a big guy who hasn’t got a massive tank even if he is a bull either.

We definitely need more inside ball winning but probably not at the expense of run. Garcia looks a contested player, Phillipou in between. Windhager a bit inside/ outside. Henry can win his own ball but better out in space.

Without knowing how the club rates those guys hard to predict the preferences.

 

[gringo2011]

A couple other lower focus names that look good for Sandy - Bailey McKenzie, Sulzberger, Harry Oliver (although he’s considered top 25), and Zach Travers. Hoffman has done some decent things other than being quite poor with hands on the deck.

Sulzberger looks good but rarely see him in phantom drafts. He’s looking like a real Hugo Garcia type. I think he might have won a player of the round even.

From the highlights the one that stands out for me is Langford. Looks quick and a piercing left foot, nice size at 190cm.

Seems like it will be a fascinating draft.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Wonder if Lachy Voss meets the Sandy rookie rule. 27 touches is extraordinary for a big player playing mostly forward.

SOS did that when he drafted Stocker in 2018.

Carlton swapped a future first with Adelaide (Blues were wooden spooner in 2018).

Wasn’t Smilie ill?
