Review 2024 National Draft Thread Part Deux - Draft Picks: 2 (FOS), 27(MWHITLOCK), 62 (R4),76 (R5)

[Mr north man]

We might as well just bend over and take it I’m done with these so called recruiters

You know what no matter how the NMFC go next year these people will continue to have jobs.
At a real professional club if this happens recruiters would be gone.
But since we are Boys/Mummy’s boy/Woke Club this will continue to happen.

 

[Shinboner roo]

It wouldn't be 19, after a few Academy / FS picks next year maybe 21-22 odd?

Yes we're hoping for a top 10 pick, if we snag a top 5-8 you've been destroyed, it's always the gamble though

Same can be said for pick 5-8 next year you mentioned, next year is heavily compromised

 

[HTPunter]

A lot of people having a whinge and yes it stinks on paper, but time will tell on this. Whitlock becomes a gun and we win this. We don't need anymore mids thanks.

Nope lol there was plenty of other ways to get this, regardless of Whitlock ending up good or not. We’ve essentially traded a top 3 pick for Caleb Daniel…if we were that keen for Whitlock

 

[CURVE]

Think we just took the worst trade in history title off Freo. Brady should be sacked

Not sure it's the worst trade, unless we don't show any improvement next season. If we are still in the bottom 2 or 3 next season, then our issues a lot more than just tonight's trade, but if improve and perhaps climb out of the bottom six, it may be seen as good trade, especially if Richmond stay on the bottom. We won't really know until the end of next season.

But as I said earlier, it feels like we could have done this trade tomorrow night and used our future second instead of our future first.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Have a listen to you lot, whinge we don't don't a tall forward, we do that then the shitfall for trading out our F1 for Richmond f2. I reckon there is alot of people on here who would win 1 million in tatts and complain it wasn't 2 million.
Get a grip

The difference here is that we are objectively giving up a tonne.

 

[Fart Cummings]

melting

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Not sure why Saint posters are here in droves after taking two general defenders.

 

[tw0kbydesign]

No wonder we couldn’t get 48 in the Daniel trade

Bid on Ashcroft - there isn’t one benefit for us.

Maybe a Xmas ca

 

[Mr north man]

He won’t his protected

 

[stavro#4]

Includes there F2, they are going to get pummeled most weeks with all those kids they are going to have to play next year, its not completely horrible

Pick 2-5 for pick 19 in 2025 and 27 in 2024.

Does it seem bad yet?

What is Rawlings thinking?

 

[kingcarey1]

My thoughts exactly.

I hate to say it but i wonder if they are factoring in band 1 compo next year… richmond played hball. Surely we tried to do that trade for an earlier pick.

For LDU?
What would that give us?

 

[Lomas]

I’m almost cer

Not sure why Saint posters are here in droves after taking two general defenders.

They missed out on midfielders, let them deflect.

 

[Harvey Manfrenjensenden]

On a positive note, with the midfield we have now built we could put a plank of wood at full forward and it would kick 50 goals a season.

 

[juss]

Same can be said for pick 5-8 next year you mentioned, next year is heavily compromised

Yeh, but a lot fewer bids can come by 5-8 than pick 19.

 

[BrownPaperBag]

Would you rather use picks and not address needs (stk) or overpay and address needs (us)

 

[4cunningTonneTruck]

We've been on the bottom for 5 years ffs. If you all seriously think that the worse thing that happens next year if we finish down the bottom again is to not have another high draft pick you've got another thing coming. Go all in this year and back us to shoot up next year. Chips in and I love it. If it fails, having another high pick wasn't going to stop ldu leaving and possibly others and probably senior staff being axed

 

[DocSholl]

If we finish outside the bottom 6 or 7.

Lol, gotcha

 

[ToxicMegaPunts]

I think if I say what I’m really thinking it might get me banned guys.

So I’ll just say - I feel sorry for you. That might be the worst trade I’ve ever seen

No worries, your starting midfield for the next few years will be the worst anyone has ever seen.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

How pitifully desperate.

 

[Footywizard]

lol.

You realize our F1 might avoid a lot of the bids?

The picks we traded for are the compromised ones

You literally have no access to academy or father son players. They all get taken if Bid on early. It doesn’t make two hoots of a difference

 

[Fart Cummings]

just do whatever we can to get both twins at the club atp

2026 F1

 

[stavro#4]

For LDU?
What would that give us?

Pick after this Richmond pick

 

[Roosurgence]

Richmond List Manager probably rang Brady as a pisstake and said happy to trade if the F1 is still up for grabs and like a virgin he jumped at the chance to lose it, even though it was with the ugliest chick on the planet.

Well at least the AFL world gets to laugh at us again next year when Richmond draft a gun with our F1 and their F2 pushes out into the late 30’s.

 

[ohmygewd]

Plays like Rory lobb

Can we undraft him?

Time will tell if this is a good trade or not what we do know we needed a good Full Forward

Nothing like Rory Lobb but easily the most versatile big man in the draft, he could release Chom up forward or play up forward himself and rucks better than Jack.
Not rapt that it cost us a F1 but at least we got an F2 back...this club better get it's act together and finish with 10-11 wins to make that F1 a teens pick in 2025 because we've just handed the Tigers a possible top 5 pick.
