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

[The Nostradamus]

Where are the Saints and Tigers posters today? I thought they were really invested in what we did with pick 2?

both i think are in the acceptance phase that they aren't going to get what they ideally want

 

[Hearts to hearts]

We have the greatest great.

 

[Hojuman]

2 Brownlow's between those 8 blokes.

 

[The Nostradamus]

anyone know what time the first pick is on the clock?

want to skip all the pre selection coverage

 

[KiwiRoo]

The hitchhiker and the barbed wire fence has to be in your top 5 Kiwi. Surely...

we're talking jokes here not your travel stories Samsquanch....

On the no rumours thread in drafts and trading someone says we are looking at trading our future second for 27 hoping to grab WAs Gaerrn. How legit is this? I haven't seen him before but it sounds like a fair enough exchange? Anyone round here heard or seen him?

ESPN's full, final Phantom Draft - every pick, every trade, every bid

It's draft day! Seventy-one picks, nine bids, four live trades, and a whole lot of drama is being predicted in ESPN's full, final Phantom ahead of the 2024 AFL Draft.

31. TRADE North Melbourne - Noah Mraz
Dandenong Stingrays/Vic Country
DEF, 198cm

Trade: Essendon trades pick 28 for North Melbourne's future second round pick

A trade for this pick will likely be executed on the first night if Kako doesn't attract a very early bid. It gives Essendon more flexibility in 2025 (and further options to trade in on the first night), plus gets North back into the top half of the pool where they can target needs. Mraz is a quality key defender cruelled by injury this year, but his upside alongside Wil Dawson and Charlie Comben is enticing.

If we keep #2, is there any scenario where we can also land Trainor ?

yes.

We get John Ralph to phone Richmond HQ and he tells them to approve our F1 for pick 18..

 

[shinboner magic]

Keith Greig handing over the jumper to pick 2 tonight.

One gun wingman to the future one

The final ESPN Phantom Draft has us drafting FOS then trading our F2 for Noah Mraz.
This is with O'Farrell, Sims and Gerryn still on the board.

I’ll ****en spew if we don’t come away from this draft with a kpf

Interesting list.

So ESPN have us taking FOS, Mraz, Josh Murphy (why we'd take a 190cm forward is beyond me tho) and Stevens.

They also have Tauru going to GWS after they give two first rounders for the Saints second pick.

Kayle Gerreyn is his name.

200cm Jono Brown type. Was top 10 in agility and is built like a freight train and hands like a vice.
Comes from a wonderful family who have excellent sporting bloodlines.

DuckYeah has been his biggest fan and I would love him at the roos too.

Depends on criteria.

If it's the player with the most hush money paid to conceal their tracks, we're at the back of the pack.

 

[Makeshift Park]

You'd hope there's to be a third rounder in it for us.

 

[Heaps of fun]

They're lucky they can play football.

"Greats" us a helluva stretch for some on that list.

This will be great to see.

P.S. Lance Whitnall is a club great?

Jesus I didn't know it was possible to be that bad. Have they never played a video game before?

 

[gokangas]

Always been a little confused by the lack of Keith Greig around the club in any form. True legend, highly decorated and absolute champion. This is great news.

He's extremely humble. Tends to prefer to stay out of the limelight.

What complete rubbish.

So none of the first four team will place a bid on a kid recognised as possibly the best of the pool on the chance they get him?

 

[Rooboy53]

My thoughts re the F1 trading in to this year to get something in the first round will also need to include the future 2nd which is why we asked for it from Adelaide if they want to swap to 2. Im hoping this means we end up with 2 picks from that not just the one.

Interesting if that was Toby Travaglia at training as that pick would need to be in the Richmond zone 10/11. If that also included 23 around the talls area of the zone that would be ok but it sounds like it goes against the grain for what Richmond would give up.

It may just be F1 & F2 for 11. Or another club with multiple late f1 picks but he will be gone before any of those.

This is all based on Travaglia sighting...Why else would he be there? If it was even him
