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

[DuckYeah]

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.

He’s me boy!!!!!! Love everything about him as Key Pos Forward.

Game plan - Kick it Big Kayle! campaigners a monster. Sure, he’s not that fit right now but my god can the boy out body and kick a looooong goal. He’d be the biggest kick in the comp, at 19

 

[DuckYeah]

Lance Whitnall? Must be catered then.

he was always looking for a pie, made his eyes all ****ed up

Hopefully he’s better than Tsatas or you’re in the Nostra club

We arent using pick 3 on him so I get some reprieve.. actually, I believe he will go a lot earlier than people have predicted. I doubt and will be saddened he wont be a north player

 

[hilly]

This is draft tampering.

You’re describing draft tampering.

Yeah it happens just about every year.

Port sniffing around to replace Sir Charles Dixon..

I could just give them one of my bar stools to do that..

 

[DuckYeah]

Interesting.

Watching Brisbane, Geelong, Hawthorn, Richmond since 2000, there's now a similar (ever so slight) disappointment about the 90s.

Our side left 1 if not 2 flags on the table when looking at at the quality of that side - which retooled in 1997 to possibly be even stronger and better balanced than it was for the '96 flag.

Ah well.

JASON ****ING HEATELY!!!!

Brisbane traded a bunch of picks to richmond for points.
They'll have an agreement not bid on ashcroft with their early selections.

They'd want to hope so because they only have enough points for Ashcroft if there was a bid at 1..not enough to match a Marshall bid!

My all-time favourite player is the expected Guernsey presenter for us tonight.

Yes, I'm that old, I didn't get to see him often as living in Canberra, the North games were only televised 4 or 5 times a year, but he was great to watch. The guy could literally walk on water.

Imagine having all these Richmond legends and you get David Astbury presenting you your jumper.

GMan! Very interested to see if the mock drafts having him beyond 40 or even later are accurate.
Trade with the Lions for one of their 40's picks and get him or Stumpf or Sims.
I think Sims and Stumpf probably rated ahead of him because of their endurance or speed.

 

[kool kangas]

Yep there’s a few here that still believe in Santa

 

[ohmygewd]

Got to laugh...on one hand Brisbane should be made to pay for Ashcroft but on the other hand, l want a Kako bid around the late teens!!

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Was Tyrone Vickery unavailable?

Not meaning to cast doubt on Gerreyn but FFS... if at first you don't suck seeds, then don't keep doing the exact same thing.

See he is real just needs a realignment lol

 

[Ashley B]

Cmon North quality not necessarily quantity. Just use pick two on a player.

 

[shintemaster]

Barassi gave Greig a real tough time as he did with all his star players like Blight. They never did get on. Greig recalls the time "Ron said to me, 'If it wasn't for football you'd be nothing but a shit plumber',"

Curious to understand what highly respected career Ron would have had without football?

 

[chubbspeterson]

Wonder who the Lions plan on trading with at the start of the draft for points.
Lions trade 27 to Saints for 32 and 47? Dogs 35 and 48? Blues 38 and 63, 68, 69, 71 and not bidding?

That's usually what happens.

North Melbourne also looms as a significant first-round trade story. With the Kangaroos set to take Oakleigh Chargers star Finn O’Sullivan with Pick 2, they’re eyeing a move back into the first round in the hope of securing a key-position player.
The clubs considered most likely to trade with North are Sydney (Picks 19 and 22) and Richmond (18, 20 and 23), who combined hold five of the final six selections in the first round.

The Kangaroos’ future first-round pick is known to be up for grabs, but a straight swap for one of those late first round picks wouldn’t be fair value; it’s likely the Roos would want another pick thrown into the deal.

North in recent weeks has done lots of work recently on several talls, including Sandringham Dragons key defender Luke Trainor - the grandson of Kangaroos and Cats goalkicking legend Doug Wade. Trainor isn’t one of the 20 prospects invited to Marvel Stadium on Wednesday night, but he’ll be one of 12 players linked up to Fox Footy’s broadcast via Zoom.

HS not ready to declare it a Superdraft lol

Looking forward to Brett Kirk transferring ideas, thoughts and even his energy before the guernsey itself.

Any excuse is a good excuse!

Time for another run i believe
