Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

Yes, you can. Going to have to wait a while though.

How long we gotta wait, would love to see what he has in stock for us with his highlights

 

[chubbspeterson]

Teams that could package up two 2nds for the Lions first rounder who need points for Ashcroft and Marshall would likely be the Saints (Battle compo 21? & 25(24)), Tigers (22(21),30(29)) or Swans (18, 19).
Saints might be better off keeping those picks in the end. I've got a feeling picks might be flying around a bit.

 

[Nylex]

Bice would have to be on a few clubs list. He may may not make it to the RD, every chance he will go in the ND.

Would happily take him in the ND

 

[Nylex]

Would like Murphy Reid, Riley Bice and the best tall marking forward available

 

[backtothedraft]

Don't mean to speak on behalf of the other lads, but I think they are both pretty set on FOS.

Personally I'm leaning a bit more towards Draper.

All things considered it'd be a safe bet that pick 2 would be out of: Jagga Smith, Finn O'Sullivan, Sid Draper, Josh Smillie or Harvey Langford.

Trainor & Lalor would probably be in consideration too.

Thats great. I'll lock in on that first group, and no doubt get invested in someone we dont pick.

If we are to keep our second round pick, and assume we will target a KPP, who looks most likely?

Harry Armstrong at that forward position would suit and I’d rather get a Harvey Langford than a Murphy Reid in my opinion

 

[pupstar]

There are a few aspects of his game that are over rated. Kicking being 1.

I am surprised you say that I think he's kicking is very good. Not sure what our draft experts think. Maybe I'm wrong.

Just stop fighting with your sister in the back seat, we'll get there when we get there.

If available I'd have them in this order:

Jack Whitlock
Kayle Gerreyn
Matt Whitlock
Jobe Shanahan
Jonty Faull
Harry O'Farrell
Tom Sims
Noah Mraz

How about while you wait, you go and check out the other 10 Gerreyn videos on my channel to see what he has in stock for you.

The rest of us appreciate what you do Noob

Oh im not saying he’s not capable of very good kicks. He has nice penetration and they make it to the target quickly. It’s just many think he’s the best kick in the draft, which he is far from IMO.

As I said, there are a few aspects of his game that get talked up by those that want to draft him. The reality is not quite there.

Overall id still be happy with him at 2.

Very happy

Long kicking U18 player, top 10 pick who then spends an entire AFL career biting off high risk kicks like he's Luke Hodge..

Where have I seen this show before?

He’s no LMac

 

[My Left Foote]

He’s no LMac

There is a Junior LMac on the way and I'm told from a reliable source that when Mrs LMac said to LMac "Do you want to feel the baby kicking, put your hand on my tummy here" that Junior LMac's kick missed dad's hand by a good distance.

 

[Newbie Real Talk]

I look forward to adding one of Smith, FOS or Draper to our list. I believe they sit a fraction higher than the next group of Smillie, Lalor and Langford.
I only hope that one of the top tier forwards like Gerryn, Shanaghan or J.Whitlock fall to our second pick (this is putting Armstrong in a tier of his own about 5-10). At a stretch we should recruit from the next tier of key forwards including M.Whitlock, Faull, Sims. I would hope we improve enough to be out of the race for the young key forward from next years draft.
It would be a nice conundrum to have to choose between Bice, O'Farrell or Mraz with our 3rd pick.

Would have to been IVF, he never hits a target, just sprays hail marys

None of those talls will be there at our second pick. If the boys on here suggest we take a mid, we miss out on one of these good talls.

So you believe all 4 of those top quality forwards will go first round?
That certainly presents a strong case for splitting the pick as a key forward is our highest list priority.

They all look capable of going in the first round. I would be blown away if one of them slips to the second round.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Fat, surely won’t get on a list

 

[giantroo]

 

[Smoocher]

Preference 1: Finn O'Sullivan
Preference 2: Sid Draper
Preference 3: Jagga Smith

These 3 are ahead of the others in this draft crop.

Absolutely.

These 3 midfielders are the most likely to star at AFL level.

Langford's lack of speed and Smiles lack of urgency and brutality for a 6f 4 mid worries me.

But if we pick Smile I wouldn't be upset as he has the biggest upside of all the mids.

Might be worth a later pick and see if we can get Wayl in shape.
