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

[Nutjob]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Thurstfields interview was a ploy to signal to other clubs to pay up if you want pick 2. There seems to be this narrative that we’re desperate to trade back. We aren’t going to trade back unless the deal is right for us. It’s a win win scenario.

So FOS with pick 2 if Tiggers take Lalor, or if they take FOS, we take Draper. This makes a lot of sense to me. I said earlier today, I don't think the Lalor/FOS thing is necessarily locked in and inter-changeable between us and Richmond.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Ah yes, another midfielder. Great, nice.

we'll take KPP with all our other picks (incl traded in picks) after we take FOS

Yeah. I like FOS as a choice but the thought did cross my mind that if we wanted anyone else it would make sense to talk up our interest in him.

 

[LB2Snake]

Alright brains trust.

Let’s say Twomey's nailed this. If we don’t get any worthwhile bites for our f1 in the first 17 picks, would you be prepared to put it on the table to Sydney, GWS or Richmond, if it means we can get two of

• Trainor
• Hannaford
• the Whitlocks
• Faull
• Hotton

(Sydney, GWS and Richmond all have at least two picks between 18-30)

If things go the way Cal has predicted and if the tiggers aren’t desperate to get their hands on our F1 for pick 10 or 11 if Tauru is there, then Hartley needs to hand in his fake Mensa membership. Been too clever for his own good. Had his chance for FOS and could now land pick 1-2 or 3 next year.

Interesting. I think we’d take Lalor at 2

2 sleeps to go

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Why does calculating not think a bid for Ashcroft will come until 5? Makes no sense to me if that bid isn’t placed by us, unless Brisbane satisfy us somewhere with a pick swap to our advantage.

 

[Shermanator]

Shotgun is six days off qualifying for this draft.

Did we maybe pick the developing KPF we needed, in last year's draft?

 

[LB2Snake]

It would make sense.
“Who can we get to teach Will real forward craft out of who’s available?”
People can knock Darling all they want, the bloke has kicked 500 goals or something like that.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Too late Chubbs. You are now forever a sheezel hater.

Pick 62, 74 and 186?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Pick 62, 74 and 186?

Traded in picks…
You either can’t read or stupid
As in f1 or f2

 

[Psicosis]

F1 for Pick 8 if Alix is still on the board.

Saints not getting any of the big six mids despite their supporters desperate hope someone would reach for a KPP.

Don't think we take Draper from here.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Poor judgment does not preclude you from expressing an opinion. See: The American election

Nah it's classic BF. I love it. Just not sure you can call someone vanilla who tested so well athletically.
We'll be very happy with FOS.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Ah yes, another midfielder. Great, nice.

Plenty of talls later on like Stumpf, Nichols, Rohr etc. Even at whatever pick 62 comes into but I think we get in earlier.

Thank feck

 

[chubbspeterson]

Don't understand why we'd want travaglia. Another medium sized player only 187 cm

He'll be very good, real competitor and can play anywhere on the ground. Great runner with 2km in 6:13.
Maybe doesn't have quite the burst of speed but I think he'll have a huge impact for whichever team gets him.

A bit rough

I’d happily do this.

 

[Mogroos]

Unless we can find a decent swap for pick 2, where we get Alix and another pick in the early teens we keep it. Everyone saying we have too many mids, have a look at the mid depth. It's not that great, plus the afl is moving to be all about speed. Go for FOS at pick two, can play everywhere and will play straight away. We need to wins games next year for fans, media, our survival etc.. keep LDU. Load up on top end talent when you can, build trading capital like GWS, so we stay competitive. FOS, McKerch and Sheez is an elite finals midfield.

 

[King Hansen]

Ah yes, another midfielder. Great, nice.

Because we're so good right?

 

[Newbie Real Talk]

Ok FOS will be a great pick up.
Moving on to the next scenario. I believe that in a buyers' market we are not getting fair value for F1. Therefore we will be looking the next batch of talls that could be available with a trade of F2 and F3. Who are we all thinking?
Sims?
Gerryn?
Nichols?
Mraz?
O'Farrell?
