Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread Part Deux

[Passmore]

GOAD a future player. Always at least a 3 year investment. Though I would hope to see some footy sense this year

There seems to be a sense of “I’m bored of this toy, get me a new one” 5 minutes after a kid is drafted. The new batch is always so much more enticing. It’ll be the same next year. “OMG, we could have had Herman Pernorkel at pick 32….he’s gonna be a gun…..”

Please NMFC do not waste pick 2 on Tauru.

We need best available and there's no way he will be that at pick 2.

I prefer Smith, by miles, but I'll be happy with Langford, Lalor or Draper. Or O'Sullivan, even.

I damn well hope the club are not dumb enough to fall for the Tauru media hype. He looks a great prospect, but NOT AT PICK 2.

PLEASE.

Ha ha ha, calm down ansonholt, recruiters watch these boys for years and do so much study on them its not funny, our first pick, we will get the player we want and have identified him a long way out, some of us just need to chill out.

If we can't move down the draft order, I would still pick Tauru at 2. Gun

He just belongs

Couldn't have said it better myself.

There’s some weird notion that our scouts will actually take any notice of media reports….. “hmmm, this fellow seems interesting, I just read about him online. Let’s draft him with pick 2…”

100%, The media can be a powerful tool in todays world but don't believe everything you read or hear. But some people like seriously can't help themselves, its like they are in a strange way hoping we do something that they don't want us to do and then go off their nutter and say they are finished with the club/we have no direction/this is why we'll never rise off the bottom and this is our list manager's fault, getting Caleb for our early 2nd rounder was the downward spiral they saw coming from a long way out. This is the most talent I've seen at Arden street since the early 90s and after this draft is done there will be no excuses. I feel sometimes we are like a baron Hospital, because we have no patience/patients!

If they are idiots and we traded 20 for ccj what does that make up

“Too nice” are the 2 words I would use.

“Naive” another. About time the club became ruthless. Hopefully it’s happening.
