Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

[travelli]

God, this thread. How long can we keep doing this imaginary outcomes of splitting the 2? Drives me nuts!

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I actually don't mind it......you think we need more what? Another first rounder? Or a swap of F1's with Saints?

So you think it's ok to downgrade 2 picks and get nothing in return? Why? And please don't tell me you think we're going to win 10 games or finish something like 10th next year because at this very point in time, there is absolutely no evidence to support that.

You sound angry BLU.....I actually just think the combo for us, forgetting about the exact pick numbers, works well for what is being reported we are trying to do. It's all hypothetical mate, I think a deal has already been signed off, just not released.
7+8 allows us a fair chance at and Armstrong and Tauru combo...although Dees and Tigers will know this and might take one of them at 5 and 6, so it's a bit risky.

I'm not keen on 7 + 15 or whatever, feel that's not achieving our perceived objectives.

Maybe we need their F1 thrown in? So 7+8 +F1 for 2+F1 ...How's that?

I think we will improve next year, we have to. Don't know if that's 10 wins, but I'm hopeful/confident/deluded.

 

[Chip Scab1]

Yeah sorry, that's a horrible deal. Downgrading two picks and getting nothing in return is absurd.

correct, has to be a future 2nd or 3rd from us or GTFO

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

So we’ve now got four list spots and picks…

checks notes

2 and 64.

Brilliant.

 

[Its a Process]

You talking about Bo Allan? He's a WA kid isn't he? Or you referring to someone else in Port's sights?

Less than 3 weeks.

It looks like there is no grand plan regarding this list build. We are just putting out spot fires as they come along.

Last year we burned our “assistance package” to get some run and skill onto the list via other teams reject players.

Burned our 2024 draft picks this year to get in some experience with superfund 30+ year olds.

And now, we are probably going to burn our 2025 draft picks to make up for it.

And every step we seem to lose draft capital.

We are allowed to trade F1/F2/F3 or pick up a DFA if we don't use one in the draft.

Sid Draper

He will be top 4 mate. I’d be amazed if not.

Interesting you think a deal has already been singed off, I'm the opposite I think we're keeping pick 2 and any discussions around additional picks involve our F1.

l agree . l've have said it before we keep pick#2 and trade out our F1st . No doubt Tiggers #11 and #18 or GWS #15 and #16 would be our best options for our F1st pick. Hopefully North can get it done .

Hmmm. Interesting. I'm reading between the lines a bit, but the fact we've opened up another list spot, via delisting Pink, suggests to me we have deal(s) in place.....because that means we now have 4 spots avail, or is it only 3?
3 and a rookie was what I thought we had yesterday.

If you listen to Tigers supporters they think our F1 is worth pick 23. No way in the world should we be doing that.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I’m well aware of what we can do.

Just not convinced it’s going to work.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Interesting you think a deal has already been singed off, I'm the opposite I think we're keeping pick 2 and any discussions around an additional pick involve our F1.

But who in the first round would be prepared to trade for our f1?

Maybe Richmond, maybe GWS, maybe Freo… but in all cases it results in us getting a pick in the teens and something later.

We wouldn’t be getting value on the asset and we wouldn’t even be able to guarantee we get a top tier player by trading it out.

Someone explain this to me please.

Clubs have to take a minimum of 3 picks in each draft including rookie upgrades. Is there a cap on the maximum number of players a club can draft each year? Richmond are planning on drafting 5 or 6 players right?

Don't we still have round 5 and round 6 draft picks theoretically? I understand that most drafts don't get to that point as most clubs pass by then but surely if a club still has list spots and wants to use them in the draft they can?

 

[Krakouer Bonar]

They can't.

They're nuffies.

Overly critical of EVERYTHING.

Yeah, that’s correct.

Then there's you who offers nothing but being over critical of the over thinkers.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

Yeah, that’s correct.

So that wipes out this ridiculous idea from oppo posters that we are desperate to trade good picks for scraps just so we have enough picks in the draft.

Pick 2 and the last 3 picks in the draft is fine with us or make a compelling offer.

 

[Krakouer Bonar]

Richmond have been incredibly arrogant in all of this. I hope we just shut the door on them and start talking with St. Kilda with the possibility of getting GWS involved.

Im sorry?

Are Richmond duty-bound to deal with North to split pick 2 for a few of their picks? Picks they are not obliged at all to trade away? They MUST trade them to us because some nuffy came up with a proposed deal?

Delusional.

That's one way to look at it.

That seems a touch overly critical.
