Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

[Chip Scab1]

The concussions are great concern.

Avoid him like our drafting lives depend on it. His family are rusted on North, anyway.

Just so you know, Saints are not going to be trading away 7 & 8, especially not for future picks. SOS loves this draft and wants in, not out. He has other plans next year. Lyon and Misson have been consistently on message in this regard publicly. We might possibly split 8 for later stuff depending but we'll only part with 7 for an earlier pick.

Came in peace, but just letting you know now to prevent you wasting your time thinking of viable trade options.


By the way, I don't think any other clubs want to trade out of this draft that haven't already, but those that want to will have queues of suitors.

I know I personally can't wait for you to take two turnips with your top 10 selections. It's wonderful that you're so high.



I don't think there's a team in the comp further away from glory, to be fair. Whilst you're not terrible like us, you're stuck in mid-table madness like we were for nearly a decade. Enjoy maybe making finals.

I do enjoy the certainty surrounding what clubs will and won't do posted on internet chat forums.

Incredible stuff. What is said at the dinner table is not actually reality, no matter how smart your Dad is!

Kinda handy being small if you're a small forward. We just traded in an all Australian that's a couple of inches smaller than River. Wizard Watson goes ok and he's even smaller. I'm not saying that he'll make it, I just can't stand the parochial nature of not wanting us to get him and at the same time hanging it on Brady for not cat b'ing another Eric Wallace or Red Og (rip). It just doesn't make sense.

Its not that he’s short, he’s ****ing small. He is a tiny human being. He is a drovers dog, he’s just dick and bones. One contest and he’ll be flattened.

Cat b don’t count towards list numbers

If he were a cat b I’d take him as that list spot is less valuable and we have 3 vacancies there

I don’t think he’s good enough to even warrant a rookie spot, list spots are tight also so I can’t see us wasting one on him

He is on the bus until the end of his contract. He wants to see how the bus driver drives before staying on. In recent times the driver seems to have been heavily intoxicated. Hopefully he can sober up.

No worries Nostratsatas

You're in la la land if you think Tauru will last till pick 20. In fact, your phantom draft is so far off the mark, it's laughable.

have'nt seen your phanrom yet, put up or pipe down

Or i just put you on ignore because you clearly have no idea what you're talking about and your opinions are not worth reading.

 

[shinboner magic]

Turner down Darby Scott who went undrafted

Likewise lachie fairley

Yeah they both played rep footy in their top age year

Chairman Zia has been a bit quiet lately....

Can't believe Stevo's son is being canned for being small, his old man was never the biggest gorilla on the field, and handled himself beautifully, it aint the size of the dog in the fight

i think that was the point of it.

If that's Zia then he's alot funnier than I ever gave him credit for.

Hypothetical - say Ldu goes and Will gets delisted or traded (he is on a one year extension) we’re down two mids with development.

Plus injury clouds over our other captain in terms on weekly inclusions.

Are you sure we can take the risk letting a Draper, Lalor, fos go?

We have Wardlaw, Sheezel, McKercher, Powell + assistance from Parker. Do we all feel confident with that?

Split 2 (+2025 second rounder) for two first (one in top 10). Pick up the drifting mid (Langford, Smillie, MReid) + a top rated KPF.

 

[Chip Scab1]

That and ensuring his actual club picked the players he wanted. Richmond did very well out of it!!

Richmond also have a lot of supporters who aren't quite all there. I mean good AFL fans, always seem to get good seats for games (i'm talking AFL members) but you wouldn't leave your kids alone around them.

 

[Smoocher]

A bit drastic to say LDU not signing has thrown a ‘spanner in the works.’ He hasn’t even entered the final year of his contract.

If he had of committed we definitely go for talls this year.

Not knowing could leave us a bit thin in the midfield should he leave next year.

A bit disappointing considering he had a few tough years when he first arrived and the club stuck by him.

I have Alix Tauru at 20 in my fantom so maybe we could trade down 2 for that pick and a futuristic 3rd?

If Tuggers include a future 4th rounder so that we can bundle up and trade in 3 potatoes named Hopper, Prestia and Taranto next year.

Had a few good posts in the trade discussions working off the broken clock theory. Still remember his “Wardlaw is no good but at least he tries “ post so I wouldn’t pay too much attention.

He certainly won't have his opinion swayed!

Yep Darcy Jones or Harvey Thomas at GWS are skinny little Auskickers, but they get after it.

They both have a lot more pace

because I don’t think he is going to get drafted there’s no harm letting him play vfl next year somewhere if not with our vfl side and then reconsider for father son next year
