Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

[Chip Scab1]

Im hoping Stk are looking at moving up to P2 to grab Lalor (who our head recruiter is keen on apparently), would our 7+27 be close enough?

Not even worth discussing. 7+ 8 + 27 for 2 + 59, maybe.

 

[Tas]

I just really want to play for North.

You like losing? :stern look

Haha not even close to enough

You know how they have F/S, F/D days, Community clinics, you’d think they do a “Middle Aged Men pretending to be young and Draftable” day just for us

West Coast traded pick 2 for picks 8 & 12

It would need to be 7 + something in the 10-14 range.

Just an opening gambit! I’d ultimately be happy with 2 & 24 for 7 & 8. I know majority of saints wouldn’t which tells me it’s a reasonable deal.

We get our man 2. Lalor and another good range lotto ticket, you guys probably grab 7. Armstrong and 8. Tauru?

We would do that in a nanosecond, couldn't see your team giving up so much for Lalor though.

Sadly, no!

That's fantastic for North.

Our best bet is still Richmond/gc

2 for 6 and 13

Otherwise hold pick 2

LOL, I enjoy the word gambit. I'd go Armstrong & then whoever gave me the best feeling out of Lalor/Smilie/Travaglia probably, even include the Russian kid. почему нет?

If we had 7&8, this is what my draft board would look like:

1.Ashcroft
2.Lombard
3.Kako
4.Armstrong (Melbourne @5)
5.Smith (Richmond @1)
6.Draper (WC @3)
7.FOS (ADE @4)
8.Lalor (StK @2)
9.Tauru
10.Berry
11.Hannaford
12.Murphy (GC @6)
13.Smillie (ESS @9)
14.Trainor
15.Hotton
16.Whitlock.
17.Shanahan
18.Allan
19.Lindsay
20. Dattoli

 

[archereleven]

Pick 7 and 8 for pick 2

I'd chuck in a future 3rd to get it over the line.

[roos_fanatic08]

Langford drastically improving his 2ker from earlier in the year. Lines up with what I’ve said about his ability to get from content to contest despite being a bit one paced.

 

[LB2Snake]

Saints 7+8 for our 2 I still wouldn’t be comfortable with. Saints need that deal more than us IMO? They need a marquise player.
Armstrong could be gone by pick 7. I reckon we are all in on him.

 

[King Corey]

I'm not seeing what others are in Armstrong from limited viewing. Nowhere near draft year Harry McKay

Thanks for doing that - eye opening to say the least!

7&8 are really 9&10? Sorry, just catching up on reality, a touch.

Saints can definitely chuck in 27 then, otherwise we end up with that as the outcome of trading, 2?

Why wouldn't we trade maybe our F1 & F2 to GWS for 15,16,36 & F1 as that is potentially worth looking at for this year only!

I'd also probably live trade 22 + 27 for whatever Hotton lands at, and stick him on LTI immediately! Just for fun/if list spots were an issue in that instance.

Hamish Davis going to be a draft bolter

Five young guns have a case to have their names called out first on draft night, although the rebuilding Richmond appear to be zeroing in on two in particular.

I note with interest Padawan McGowan’s little dig at us:

What a rise for Tauru, from virtual unknown in the pre-season to potential top-three pick, if defender-needy North Melbourne take the leap, as some think they might.

I fear Darth Damo is turning him to the dark side.

 

[ferball]

Im hoping Stk are looking at moving up to P2 to grab Lalor (who our head recruiter is keen on apparently), would our 7+27 be close enough?

How does "No ****en Way!" sound?

 

[spurs]

Draper looks like my pick at 2

 

[Psicosis]

Have heard Richmond have locked into Lalor at 1.

Expectation in player manager circles that the top 4 is basically locked to:

1. Richmond - Lalor
2. NMFC - Fos
3. WC - Jagga
4. Adelaide - Draper

 

[giantroo]

 

[XU1-ROO]

Gee Lalor has moved up the ranks. Would be the mid I would go for.
