Draft Profile 2024 Mid Season draft prospects

[perplexed]

Does north even need another mid/small def?

Surely a tall would be more higher on their list, but seems they are just going best available no matter the position.

If there was a tall we rated I'm sure we would take them. Unfortunately the MSD hasn't produced any key positions of note yet and the prospects this year aren't very enticing either. We have enough state league quality talls on our list already.

If you can find any player that improves your list in the MSD it is a win.

They're taking best available and that's Geordie. Consensus number one pick.

 

[memoryofmchale]

Local clubs (coaches) presumably facilitate getting their players drafted by giving references etc? Do any clubs give less than full support in hope they don't lose their players?

There's no point in giving less than full support. It's a good look for a team to have a player drafted. Free publicity.

The real source of references young draft candidates have to be careful of is school.

Geordie Payne #1 .

Very confident about this one.

Really really confident?

 

[eth-dog]

Quite a few newcomers have nominated 18-month contracts.

Not what I was saying

 

[eth-dog]

You might be thinking of salary?

Nope. Saying that longer than 18 months is a former AFL exclusive term

 

[Jazny]

I wonder where Geordie Payne would go in the national draft this year if he wasn't being picked up in MSD. Top 30?

I don’t see why he wouldn’t. I reckon we will see more and more mature age players being selected in the ND. Geelong are the leaders in this.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Ah, ok. But non-experienced players can still nominate 18 month contracts to ensure they get at least one proper pre season (if they get picked up, which might be less likely than if they nominated a 6 month contract)

It's hard to tell as he's not underage so it changes his value.

 

[Jazny]

I dont think it will change it that much. He is still only 18 and won't turn 19 until November, he is almost a year younger than Ryley Sanders who was pick 6 last year.

 

[tiger_tough]

Sounds like 3 picks is on the cards for us

Who is your club likely to pick in the mid-season draft?

The AFL’s annual mid-season rookie draft will be held on Wednesday night, with an in-form Tasmanian teenager rocketing into pole position to be the first player taken.

Seems to mostly be a repeat of what Twomey said yesterday. Interesting that Collingwood are also into Saad El-Hawli though, and have the pick before Melbourne who have already been linked with him.

I don’t believe for a moment Collingwood is into El-Hawli. Probably some hype piece by his manager. Would shock me to see another smallish player taken when the need is for height and this has been stated by the top in Fly.

Yes he has pace, but wouldn't think he's a need at this point. Other priotities.
But he's definitely a dekka special. Someone needs to tie his hands otherwise we'll get sub 190cm players

Can someone actually post the first round stupid age makes you pay

Tasmanian youngster Geordie Payne is the popular pick among AFL recruiters to be the first name called out in the mid-season rookie draft on Wednesday night – but there is less certainty after that.

Payne was rated a decent chance to find an AFL home in last year’s national draft after winning Tasmania’s best and fairest award but instead missed out altogether.

That will change this week, with the 18-year-old’s strong form line for the Devils this year making him a surefire selection, almost certainly at No.1 to North Melbourne.


Payne nominated for an 18-month contract rather than six months. Ex-Power ruckman Brynn Teakle, who has interest from multiple clubs including Richmond, and Box Hill Hawks midfielder Max Hall have also asked for a longer deal.


The Tigers just lost Sam Naismith to a fourth ACL rupture after trading Ivan Soldo to Port Adelaide last year, with Samson Ryan backing up captain Toby Nankervis in the ruck at the weekend.
They are also keeping an eye on Hawthorn’s Next Generation Academy big man Iliro Smit, who has interest from St Kilda as well. West Perth key forward Jasper Scaife is the other player linked to the Roos, but is more likely to slide down the order, with Richmond tipped to pick Collingwood VFL forward Jack Hutchinson or Peel Thunder intercept defender Jacob Blight.

Woodville-West Torrens rebounding defender Luke Beecken is in West Coast’s sights, although they are a potential landing spot for Hutchinson, if he makes it past the Tigers.
Hall looks bound for the Saints, who opted not to pick Old Brighton defender Max Benier for Sandringham at the weekend, meaning he is ineligible to be selected in the mid-season draft after playing only two VFL games.

Ex-Giant Daniel Lloyd is in the same situation as Benier despite the Brisbane Lions, where he is a development coach, being keen to draft him. An AFL spokesperson told this masthead there would not be any exemptions to the three-match state league qualification.
Scaife, Blight, Beecken, 196-centimetre Eastern Ranges forward Remy Maclean – who is also on the Box Hill list – Smit and Geelong Falcons forward Will McLachlan are among the possibilities at Hawthorn’s No.5 pick.
Maclean has kicked 12 goals in seven matches this year, and is another who nominated for an 18-month contract.

The Lions, who are set to make at least three picks, have interviewed 181-centimetre McLachlan, who leads the Talent League goalkicking with 26 in six games, as they survey their options to replace ACL victim Linc McCarthy.

Toby Murray, a 200-centimetre ruck-forward, is poised to join his brother Nick at Adelaide. Geelong Falcons ruckman Joe Pike is one possibility if the Crows make multiple selections. Former Magpie Trent Bianco has been linked to the Western Bulldogs’ selection, but there is mystery surrounding their pick, while rival recruiters believe Coburg key forward Caleb Ernst is among the players Fremantle are weighing up.
Ex-Swan Matt Ling, who is averaging 20 disposals and two intercept marks as a defender for Norwood in the SANFL, could also be an option for the Dockers.
Former AFL players Riley Collier-Dawkins, Liam McMahon and Jack Peris have all been raised as chances at Carlton’s pick, along with Williamstown key forward Corey Ellison.
One of Collingwood or Melbourne are expected to take a punt on Northern Bullants dasher Saad El-Hawli, with the Demons’ link the strongest, although they select after the Magpies.

Collingwood could give ex-Saint Daniel McKenzie or Teakle a career lifeline, while Melbourne have also done work on South Adelaide key forward Noah Howes, who kicked two goals in South Australia’s win over the Allies at the under-18 championships on Sunday. Adelaide have spoken to Howes, too. Lachie Voss, a 200-centimetre defender for Sandringham, is another player the Dees have monitored.

Logan Evans is in the mix to be Port Adelaide’s choice after spending this season playing for the club’s SANFL team, including amassing 26 disposals and nine rebound 50s in his most-recent appearance. Essendon may consider bringing in one of their VFL players, Cam Nyko, who would add to their outside runners.

Geelong, Greater Western Sydney and Sydney do not have any list vacancies, meaning they will not take part in the mid-season draft, while Gold Coast could make one pick if they wanted to.

Brisbane and Richmond (potentially four picks) and Adelaide (up to three) have the most openings, while Carlton, Collingwood, North Melbourne and the Bulldogs can make two selections if they choose. Essendon, Fremantle, Hawthorn, Melbourne, St Kilda and West Coast all have one vacancy.

I forgot about Read but I think Moyle will be gone end of year and I really like Andrew as a key defender.

I'm not against Ryan per Se, but I'd Smartt is off the board I'd want Hagan. Small forwards are what we need.

Why would Moyle leave Gold Coast when Witts is 32?
