Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

[pitchster]

Actually surprised not a lot around here want Smith. He oozes traits and qualities we want in our players. He reminds me a lot like Mckercher in the way he goes about his business. Leader and captain as well which most seem to forget about.

Says in his interview on Gettable he took feedback on board about trying to get more metres gained on his disposals and to be more direct and damaging. Think it says a lot about a young player to take that feedback and turn it into a positive.

If we keep 2 i think it will be a either/or scenario with lalor.

I guess it also depends on whether we are happy with Scott on a wing or whether we want to place FoS there. Mckercher should slot in nicely on the other one.

l think we will hold onto our Pick#2 until the Tiggers pick who they want with pick#1 because we might end up in a position to get the first player that we are after...

Yeah not going to go into whether we keep pick 2 or not, its been done to death over about 800 pages. Until we trade it which we cant now until draft night im going to work under the assumption we hold onto it.

 

[SnowRoo]

We'll give you pick 10 ,18 and a future 2nd for pick 2. Take it or leave it.

100% leave it.

Are you giving us FOS or Lalor?

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

100% leave it.

Are you giving us FOS or Lalor?

I think you want talls don't you?

 

[DuckYeah]

Not with pick 2 we arent. Which one would you like?

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I want Lalor and Langford

 

[Makeshift Park]

Feel like something that’s persistently misunderstood is that the overwhelming majority of NM-supporting posters get behind taking FOS or Draper with pick two, unless something better becomes available.

 

[shinboner magic]

Brady it’s time to make some home visits of the expected top 4.
Turn up the pressure on the tuggers

Hopefully it’s visit 5 or 6 from us for all of them.

 

[DuckYeah]

You can only choose one.. you arent getting your second choice at 6 (7).. big decisions to make here. interested in Murphy Reid? Draper? Smillie? Because that’ll be whose left, 2 x midget mids and Smillie who may or may not be any good

 

[Chip Scab1]

It's not the draft to have 3000 picks, let's be honest.

2032 is when they'll be ready for finals.

Langford could be still there at pick 6.

 

[DuckYeah]

Langford could be still there at pick 6.

Unlikely

 

[bigosacr]

Langford could be still there at pick 6.

Melb take Langford pick 5 and best available KPF at 9

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Unlikely

Besides Ashcroft I think it will go
1.Lalor
2.Fos
3.?
4.Draper
5.?
6?

Just having a massive stab? Heres mine, Im certain Jagga becomes a tiger.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Yeah probably out of Smith, Reid.Tauru and Smilie to go at 6

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

The thing about Jagga is that he will be a very good player but not necessarily a great player, others have more upside imo.

 

[Smoocher]

I want Lalor and Langford

LOL.

A great combination with that other slow plodder HOPPER.

I think he’s what you need and a perfect start for the punt road midfield

Sounds like Shai Bolton

 

[Orange Peanut]

Actually surprised not a lot around here want Smith.

My preference is Draper but if we call out Jagga's name at 2 I'll be bloody rapt

Are you talking about the kid who is averaging 26 touches a game in your VFL side at 18 years of age?..

Accumulating possessions doesn't make a great player necessarily eg Jack Mcrrae
