Brisbane currently should have 39 players on their list (Primary, Cat. A), as well as 2 Cat. B Rookies. They did indeed bring in 3 players via the MSD, and there's meant to be 3 on the list who don't yet have a deal for next year.
They had a horror run with all those knee injuries, and obviously did a brilliant job in still winning the flag: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_AFL_draft

Agree with this. I’m no expert on the young kids but as a general rule we should be looking for the best key forward available . It doesn’t matter so much if he can ruck.
Tom Sims parents really missed a golden opportunity not naming their son Dim.
They could have named him “The”.

I'd say adding Houston and Perryman got us our two wingman indirectly. It'll put a couple of good players on the wings.
Plus pretty sure Fly was talking senior players with that comment. We've still got a mature kpd to get from his list

Agree. Would use picks on talls this draft. We are at capacity for flankers
If we take any non talls it might be an apprentice for Tom Mitchell

This won't be popular, but I'm with Dekka on a best available philosophy, particularly where we're picking.
I wouldn't draft for depth or balance or as a replacement for a current player - I'd use other recruiting mechanisms for that -as most of them won't make it and give you what you're drafting for and the ones that make it won't play many of their good years with many of our current team. I'd just go the bloke most likely to give us a good senior player in the future.
If we draft the next Ollie Dempsey - fantastic.

Agree to some extent. In the 18 year age bracket we will need players in all positions by the time they are 22 and our stars have retired. That said, talls are always harder to find, so if it’s a flip of the coin, pick the key position player.

Normally I'd agree but I think this year there's been some sort of directive that we need to add some KP talent. I reckon at least one of the 3 picks will be a KPP. I wouldn't be against a third tall like McKenzie either.

Ollie Dempsey was a rookie pick, pretty sure he played 6 school games for the year when Geelong picked him up.
Edit: I do know what you mean though and think if we do go tall instead of key forward or key back we go the best tall.

Certainly sounds that way. And it does sound like the year to do it. If we are going that way - make it a numbers game and go tall with all 3 in the hope of getting one who kicks on.

If you look purely at list spots right now, we could take 4, because Membrey isn't on the list yet. We know he will be, so we've been assuming that the three picks in the 50s are our only picks, but that's not strictly true right at this second.
Seems like most sites that do an "indicative draft order" base it on 4 rounds, but because we've traded our 4th round pick, they have us just having three picks, even though we've currently got 4 open list spots.
Considering that you pick until your list is full, we could pick in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th rounds if we had the list spots available, so it's either just a miscalculation based on a 4 round estimation, or it's a projection assuming that Membrey is as good as signed.

This is the problem with taking talls so late. The club really needs to commit to the talls they take. Are we seeing our picks as a stab in the dark for talls or are we committed to giving them every possibility to succeed. I'm not sure what the best way to go is being in our situation.

I don't think they do need to commit beyond the 2 years. Like every other player type, they've got to develop and become viable depth within a couple of years. With current list sizes, I think you've got space for about 8 developing guys on your list who aren't depth yet. At that stage of the draft, they need development and you're picking the guys you think are the most likely to develop. In two years time, they're either developing well and have risen up to look like viable depth or you're making a call on them. If you hold them for too long without them becoming viable depth, you're either going to end up really short on depth or are going to be really limited in terms of how many kids you can add in the future.
I’m with you this year. Think there’s going to be a few not happy with our draft night. Where we are picking I don’t think we can be picky based of needs. Reckon we just need to grab whoever we think has the talent to make it. Just my opinion.
Luke Kennedy has previously been mentioned. Will potentially be in our range.
Notes from sept.
#45 Luke Kennedy
Midfielder | 180cm | 11/10/2006
Stats: 28 disposals, 8 marks, 5 inside 50s
Kennedy was arguably the best player afield to half time, which is no mean feat given some of the names who also featured in the midfield battle. He showcased outstanding dual-footed delivery, looking particularly sharp in short bursts when exiting the contest or drilling kicks inside 50. While capable of doing the defensive running to support the likes of Ashcroft and Reid, Kennedy also spread into effective areas to have an impact during attacking phases.
Our next swanny pick perhaps.

The way Leppa is talking, we might only be going talls - take 3 talls in the hope of getting 1.

I was listening to the craft of the draft youtube channel talking about players to miss out on the top 60 that if Doug Kerr hadn't done his ACL he was projecting top 50, I understand top 50 isn't great but maybe someone to look at in the rookie draft. The baselinefooty post has some good highlights of Kerr and O'Farrell.

That would be the strike rate you’d think. Gonna be an interesting draft night praying

If you look what the lions did at the draft last year which makes sense in hindsight with Daniher retiring, but they took three talls in Logan Morris 191cm, Luke Lloyd - 193cm and Zane Zakosteslki - 196cm. They were also interested in Archer Reid.That would be the strike rate you’d think. Gonna be an interesting draft night praying
