Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread Part Deux

[My Left Foote]

That’s hard to believe. We aren’t giving up anything else? Our f2 even?

I was trolling the Richmond troll.

 

[year of the roo]

The only reason we don't bid on Ashcroft IMO, is if Richmond do it first. Can't think of a single reason not to.

 

[Masked Avenger]

alix tauru is all but locked in at pick 2. This is not a troll either. decent source

More like you're hoping like hell we take Tauru at 2 because it's the only way you're going to snare a second top tier midfielder.

 

[Its a Process]

The Age article is interesting and probably explains why we are struggling to ship 2 for a reasonable deal but still lock in a top 6 pick.

To trade down we need 2 of either Richmond, Carlton and Adelaide to be desperate for the same player and I’d assumed that player was FoS or Draper.

Without that tension in the market it’s hard to see why a club below us will be desperate to trade up.

I’m also surprised Richmond hasn’t come harder for our Future 1st. Seems like obvious business from them to try and split their strong draft hands over two drafts.

Why not bid on Kako then too?

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

There is no way we blow pick 2 on Tauru.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

There is no way we blow pick 2 on Tauru.

You would hope not but who knows?

Personally, I wouldn't have Tauru in my top 3 Key Forwards.

I hope we do, your highness.

Lombard too.

 

[King Hansen]

I hope we do, your highness.

Lombard too.

And Marshall and Champion too

Both of these assumptions would be false

I'm a little surprised to hear that Richmond has decided to take Tauru at pick 2.

[kool kangas]

Imagine if no one bids on Ashcroft until after say pick 10. Do you think the AFL might be asking the clubs above to "please explain"?

More likely is there’s no point trading before the night while we don’t know who Richmond will take.

Clubs, including us, will wait and see who is on the board, how they rate them and how much they’re willing to give up after Richmond pick.

There is no reason to trade now without knowing that.

There will be scenarios. Richmond take player X (not our X!) - then we might keep it if our top is on the board.

But if there they take Y who we wanted and others rate what’s left higher and we know we can get our preference by trading back and getting more picks in addition, offers will come and we’ll do it.

We’ll wait and see and there’ll be scenarios unfolding.

The guy has Gerreyn at pick 60. Not even worth posting.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the only place this bloke seems to be rated is on the BF North board.

We can't actually trade before the night. Pick swap period ended on November 8th this year for some reason.

 

[GS WARRIORS]

I guess that the planned 2026 backline would be...

B: Tauru - Logue - Archer
HB: Goater - Dawson - Daniel / Hardeman, Fisher

If we draft Alix, we're drafting him as a forward not a defender imo, chf.

 

[giantroo]

Crows wants Jagga.

'The Kangaroos are believed to be eyeing pick 4 and a future second-round selection to get the deal done.'

It is understood that Adelaide recently offered North Melbourne pick 4 and two future third-round selections in exchange for pick 2, but the offer was knocked back.

The Kangaroos are believed to be eyeing pick 4 and a future second-round selection to get the deal done.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Is it to trade with us?
