Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread Part Deux - Draft Picks: 2 (R1), 62 (R4), 76 (R5), 86 (R6)

[HBFlanker]

Cripps inside bull.
Walsh & Cera generalist mids
Draper explosive inside

Supported by their strong wings and HBs, this is pretty good midfield.

Its already an elite midfield. They will be thinking Draper can play straight away

 

[The Nostradamus]

If we can’t get Tauru, who else do we think we’d target or you’d want us to target with a F1?

the only other one i'd be trading our f1 in for is Shanahan otherwise i'd be looking at trading in our f2 for a Gerreyn or Faull

 

[GS WARRIORS]

If we can’t get Tauru, who else do we think we’d target or you’d want us to target with a F1?

There is no other tall worth our F1 imo and even though I'd love Draper, doubt we would take another mid.

So no one else unless it's a swap of F1's. Hopefully that doesn't happen as ours will be a top 4.

Our 2nd and or 3rd is more likely to be moved.

 

[KangaRooster]

Our midfield will be an absolute riot if we walk out of this with FOS

 

[Twangler]

the only other one i'd be trading our f1 in for is Shanahan otherwise i'd be looking at trading in our f2 for a Gerreyn or Faull

Yeah I’m thinking very similar but would also include Armstrong in f1 calculations too and would prefer Faull on the f2

 

[Twangler]

Yeah I’m thinking very similar but would also include Armstrong in f1 calculations too and would prefer Faull on the f2

Noah Mraz could be a watch on f2 as well

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Yeah I’m thinking very similar but would also include Armstrong in f1 calculations too and would prefer Faull on the f2

Don't mind him but I wouldn't do a top 4 pick for Armstrong.

The way I see it is, if I wouldn't take them very early this year, I'm not trading a top 4 pick for them.

 

[King Corey]

Doubling back - why not Lalor if he's available?

Explosive mid with more of a running and forward ganestyle than Wardlaw.

 

[Passmore]

Why not indeed.

Mind you, if he does end up at North, I expect the player comparison to shift from Dusty to Anthony Banik.

I think we will take Lalor if he's available, but he won't be. The question none of us know that would be interesting is who would we take if FOS & Lalor were available.

 

[Orange Peanut]

Mind you, if he does end up at North, I expect the player comparison to shift from Dusty to Anthony Banik.

Anthony Banik = The ! At the Disco

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

If we want FOS and Carlton want Jagga or Draper trading pick 2 to Crows for 4 and a future 2nd makes a lot of sense as we still get our guy and pick up some collateral for next year or to trade back into this year.

 

[Twangler]

Don't mind him but I wouldn't do a top 4 pick for Armstrong.

The way I see it is, if I wouldn't take them very early this year, I'm not trading a top 4 pick for them.

Yeah objectively that makes a lot of sense. I’m thinking though that this might be the last year we load up in the draft and from next year on we focus on trade to get established talent to challenge for top 4. Plus now we have the ability to trade 2 years in advance so I can see the appeal of f1 trading.

 

[justroyal]

Finn - silky and good ball user
Lalor - I just need to know if he has burst ability?

 

[Twangler]

Doubling back - why not Lalor if he's available?

Explosive mid with more of a running and forward ganestyle than Wardlaw.

He looks like the weakest no 1 candidate I can remember. I wouldn’t pick him in the top 5. Though having said that he’ll probably tear it up and make me look silly.

 

[DuckYeah]

Have no idea why “experts” have jumped off Jagga.. they’re going to be the silly looking ones

 

[year of the roo]

Brisbanes list manager put Jagga Smith in the conversation at pick 2 (after Levi) and included a bunch of other names.

Whoever gets Jagga is going to get a bargain if its pick 4 or 5. Kids real good.

How much work do you reckon Brisbane have put into the other top 6 draftees?

 

[DuckYeah]

they would have done nothing yeh? Wouldn’t have even watched a single coats game. Wouldn’t have bothered turning up to state champs.. meh? Testing metrics? Bugger that.. who cares.

They’d have compiled the data to see where their picks sit. Of course they put work into all of them. Whats the point of them if they didn’t? If they didnt, they’d be as useless as a CEO

 

[Twangler]

Yep he’d be my no 1 for sure! Doesn’t suit north but I don’t know why the Tigers aren’t all over him.

 

[DuckYeah]

Absolutely the tigers need a midfielder like that. Trips me out

I didn't say they would have done nothing. But they wouldn't have been as diligent as other clubs for obvious reasons.

 

[footy2016]

You take best available player at 2. Everyone saying ‘we can’t take another midfielder ‘…. We can because other than Sheezel we don’t have a single midfielder who can play anywhere else. The midfield was a train wreck for 75% of the season and showed glimpses for a 6 week patch.

FOS makes a lot of sense and is very versatile.

 

[DuckYeah]

I didn't say they would have done nothing. But they wouldn't have been as diligent as other clubs for obvious reasons.

Of course they would be. Thats just nonsense. They are a professional organisation. They would want to know what their future opposition looks like to, flaws and attributes. How their own players rank against em. You’d be incompetent if were complacent. Its their job to know the draft. Every year.

So yes, Brisbanes list managers opinion is highly regarded and an opinion with no bias as they have their kid.

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

Lots of FOS on a wing shouts. In time..

But next year - he’d probably be better as a small forward / HFF than Payne, Konstanty, Hansen Jr., Harvey. That is an immediate upgrade.

Or.. you chuck him on a HBF (our future midfielder production line), get his hands on the ball, utilise his overhead marking and dash.

Really exciting if it comes to fruition.

 

[BrownPaperBag]

I don’t think we will. If we don’t improve as expected, you wouldn’t blame players for leaving. If LDU goes to a team that is in the finals window. They would be picks on the teens, and this board would be melted. If Colby leaves, the AFL aren’t giving us a top end compensation pick.

If LDU goes the fa pick is linked to our finishing position.

Why wouldn’t the afl give us a top comp pick if Colby is taken by tas. Absolutely they should/would
