Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread Part Deux

[Rod Stroker]

What are the odds that we were one of the 2 clubs that didn't speak with them?

Not the Kings or McKays: Meet the anti-twin big men who had 16 AFL clubs visit their country home

Matt and Jack Whitlock were born two minutes apart, are each almost 200 centimetres tall and will be first-round picks in the AFL draft – but they want to be known for more than being twins.

if a player is described as similar to Harry then that’s the boy I would take!I don’t need to hear anything else.

No one is saying his underage career is as good as Sheezel's tho. He's a high accumulator with great skills but also low impact and the muscular build of a grade 8 student.

 

[Ura]

A player that you definitely can’t have 2 of in your team is a Langford. I think for Tigers mids in particular would be hard to have him and Hooper in the same team. Would really get hurt on spread. Could be a better player than Hooper though.
Jagga is outside and I would question his ability to defend on spread.
If North were to take a big bodied I would want Lalor… or hope Smillie could develop some mongrel

Whereupon Will says something to the effect of; we’re open to trading down from 2, but it has to be the right deal for us. And of course we have our full hand for next year, so that gives us flexibility to improve our hand this year, but again it has to be the right deal for us.

I could do this; how much are they paying these people?

I know, but what would you like Will to say, "You know what, we are very keen on Jonty Faull, we think he can fill that void in a time as our other key forward and we think we can pick him up in the second round. Tobie Travaglia or Xavier Lindsay are the other first rounders we are also looking at closely for more run and we've got big wraps on a boy by the name of Noah Mraz who has had some injuries but we like to think we can get him in the third round".

Oh nose another Sheez what shall we do??



Come on man if Sheez was in this draft he’d be first picked.

I agree. Why we would we not want to double our Sheezel??

It makes no sense to me to avoid picking someone because he might win the rising star and club BnF in his first season.

Heaven forbid. Let's pick a lesser player, then. That makes sense. Not.

 

[DuckYeah]

Jagga Smith is the best mid available in the draft. I expect richmond to take him. I dont understand how he slipped to potentially pick 5.. makes no sense

Also to, if we lose LDU to free agency and Colby decides to play for Tassie, we are a couple of elite midfielders down. We just have to pick the best available at the pointy end of the draft.

We can’t build our list around players potentially leaving.

If either of them leave we will get high draft picks and do a GWS and replenish them

 

[LB2Snake]

Yeah yeah. Broom meet rug. Nothin to see here

No ones left and after next year no one is going to leave.

Wait a minute, don’t we have someone else signed with adidas… who is shit?

But this is getting bizarre. Top 5 potential and media interviews all before Wednesday. Someone has an insider in the media from these big clubs is trying to push us to draft him

And North Melbourne nominate Ashcroft.
And that piece is done.

 

[LB2Snake]

I no longer thank we are sliding back to 6 or 7. We are taking this kid at 2, or at best 4.

 

[Hotham FC]

There's some similarities with the professionalism, footy IQ and composure when making decisions, but I don't think he's necessarily as good or versatile as Harry who showed the ability to go forward and create score involvements.
But maybe Jagga could excel at half back to start with while he builds his frame. Wait and see what we do.
I guess I just like the defensive intensity/tackling and burst of FOS/Draper/Lalor.

Could wing be an option for Jagga? The Ollie Hollands role, similar build?

I’ve got dees taking Langford at 5

I think if we slid to 6 we could get Tauru
Or as a backup we get my boy Smillie

Win win

But I still think hold 2 take FOS or Lalor

 

[travelli]

He'd be far more versatile than people suggest. But he always plays centre because he is always the best guy on the ground in that position.
