Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

[roos_fanatic08]

Would picks say 10-30 this year be a fair way ahead of picks 10-30 last year?

Yep. Last years top 6 far better than this years top 6. But from 10-40, 24 draft class will be better imo.

Curious to see who people would take in these scenarios:

Smillie or Langford

Sims or J.Whitlock

Lindsay or Reid

O’Farrell or M.Whitlock

Armstrong or Shanahan

Smith or Draper

Kako or Berry

Faull or Gerreyn

Can’t recall a draft as even as this one.

 

[The Talent Scout]

Armstrong making a good case today. Beautiful set shot kicking.

No doubt about it, DED, or as I call him {dead eye dick}, reminds me of Mathew Lloyed, Mathew was like that when he played. Great mark of the football and will rise up the boards of many people between now and the national draft.

 

[WinterRoos]

I'd love to end up with 2 of Trainor, Kako and Armstrong.

Kako was a little quiet today but gee he had some great moments.
Armstrong looked great all day and took some great marks on the wing as well.

 

[LB2Snake]

Does anyone know what the 50 was for?

Think it was player encroaching on protected area. Personally would’ve like to see Trainor take the long shot, just to see how he handled it, but he’d already given it off when the 50 was paid.

Does anyone know what the 50 was for?

Match report says it was dissent.

 

[The Talent Scout]

Berry is a beauty when kicking inside 50.

His kicking is like Lindsay and Oliver, elite.

FWIW my uneducated pref's are; Langford, Sims, Lindsay, O'Farrell, Armstrong, Smith, Kako, Gerreyn

Trainor or Travaglia

 

[New_Roo]

Does anyone know what the 50 was for?

Had to be swearing would have thought... wasn't even sure what the free kick was for either against Travagelia too wasn't it, sad way for it to end for him, had a blinder deserved to have final mark

But once the disappointment subsides has to look at the positives, that he put himself into top ten reckoning

That’s embarrassing for that umpire. Harden up ffs.

 

[The_General#1]

Hopefully. Pick 10 in this draft could easily be better than 1. FOS shouldn't have played, Smiles was underwhelming and Jagga has some red flags.

Agree on FoS. Smil underwhelming champs. I thought Jagga was great. What were the red flags for u?

It’s a shame the champs are over. As above, more questions than answers at the moment.

However, for me I like:
Langford, Whitlock, Lindsay, ?, ?, Smith, Berry, Faull.

Langford has been super impressive the whole champs. Probably my favorite player if I had to choose one.

Size and disposal, he's been really good but his kicking is not flash.

 

[Sphynx]

It’s a real shame that Finn O’Sullivan wasn’t at his best, could’ve been the difference.

From a selfish perspective, perfect result for North imo

 

[The_General#1]

I’d be disappointed if we pick him. Better options ahead of him.

Seems like some decent talent then. Nice that we'll have close to the pick of the crop.

Is there anywhere I can watch a replay of the game?

 

[Steele7]

Lalor looks like going to be a real bull. Liked the fend off. Wonder where he goes in the draft. Sims as a 2nd KPF. If Larkey goes down. We’re stuffed

Two senior SANFL games, two impressive performances and two times in the best for South Adelaide. Also two times with double digit tackles, showing his bravery and readiness to compete against hardened professionals. Sid's kicking was a little off and he resorted to quick dump kicks from stoppage at times, but in heavy conditions his hands were super clean and creative.
