Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

6+10 and 11 for 2 and our F1 is a good deal for both clubs, but going by the bleating Tiger media narrative, and the Tigers supporters, there’s little chance of that happening.
It’s the move we should be holding firm to, but Tiger media will rant on with “North offered its F1 for GC 13 and were knocked back, no way that deal is worth it. This draft is so deep(ie even), Richmond would be crazy to do that deal”
I actually think it’ll be 6+10 and 18 for 2 and F1……which doesn’t sit great with me. But the 10 is worth a lot more to us than just the one spot over 11.

Personally, if that's the best offer out there, I'd be holding 2 and our F1.

I don't see why we would use our F1 this year. We will need it next year and we don't have enough free list spots to make it worthwhile.

Fair. I’m just factoring in that next year will be affected by GC kids and a weaker draft.

But I’m only demonstrating there are far better scenarios than the ridiculous one put forward in the Sun. I don’t even know how that passes the Edit desk.

How the F is next year a weaker draft? I think this draft is weak.

If we are happy to trade pick 2 for 6 it means we are confident that who we want at 6 will still be there. Which means we are not after a mid as Smillie, Smith, Lalor, Reid, FOs and Langford are all likely to be gone by the time 6 comes around.

As the saying goes "It better the devil you know than the devil you dont know"...We know where are this year but next year is an uncertainty. no doubt it will be an early pick but as we cant be sure where it will lie and there are some good players this year l think its best to trade F1st out and get another player....

In regards to spots: we can alway delist more players by paying out their contracts.

Regardless of whether we want to do that deal, I just don't think Richmond is all that eager to give up 3 of their early first round picks this year so it's a hypothetical that no-one really likes. 2 for 6 and 11 makes sense because they still end up with 1, 2, and 10. As soon as F1 comes into it, all proposed deals look unlikely.

You're forgetting Draper and you've listed 6 names. That means mathematically speaking, at least 2 of your 6 will be there when pick 6 comes around.

2/ future 2nd for 6/11 I would do
Go to draft with 6/11/62
62 will come in to about 49

2 for 6/11 is the only deal. The rest is all moot

Every year is stronger/weaker than next/last year.

Its all bollox to keep people in the AFL media industry junket in "work".

If F1 and 2 are being packaged together then:

at minimum North would want a top 5 pick (Tauru) and two other firsts (top 15); and North have three players in mind that they are after (probably a KPF, a sliding classy mid and a small to round round out the speculative group of Payne, RHJ, Harvey and Konnie).

We currently don’t have the list spots to facilitate these trades however.

Wouldn’t mind throwing the 2025 R3 as well (pick 40-45) to get it over the line.
