Review 2024 National Draft Thread Part Deux - Welcome FOS, M.Whitlock, L.Urquhart & River Stevens

[The Nostradamus]

Saints might offer 7+8 now that it’s obvious they ain’t getting any of the prime mids

They should also see that 8 is a free hit they were lucky to get that for battle

Should’ve been 19

How similar as a player and athletically is FOS to Kieren Harper?

I remember Harper was super athletic in testing for sprints and vert leap etc. Could do the mercurial, but just couldn’t find the footy at AFL level…and ultimately that was his downfall.

Edit: Just realised Harps was 187cm too, wow didn’t know he was that tall.

F1 for Pick 8 if Alix is still on the board.

Saints not getting any of the big six mids despite their supporters desperate hope someone would reach for a KPP.

I’d love that, but I’d be surprised if the Saints entertain it. We could finish 5th last, and they’ve wasted a year of development to gain 3 spots? Seems a bit crazy.

Feels like pick 2 is their best chance, but they’d have to give up 7+8. Stalemate.

I think we just take FOS and then try for another KPF around Rich 10/11

 

[Frank Thring]

we'll take KPP with all our other picks (incl traded in picks) after we take FOS

By then, we'll be grabbing the limited talls. We don't need another midfielder

Last night I was up at 4 am thinking how beneficial this trade would be to our beloved club. I was tickling with excitement.
Richmond should be fearful of having a rebuild like us with a lack of mature players, thus by trading pick 10 they can stop this.

NM give Bailey 'Butcher' Scott get 10
RCH give 10 get Bailey 'Butcher' Scott

win win for both clubs. We get more young talent and **** off shittrucks and tiges get a mature player. We can then draft travalgia to replace scott.

Might teach him to think before he posts

Is there anything we could do to teach you the same lesson?

Wouldn’t need it

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Traded in picks…
You either can’t read or stupid
As in f1 or f2

No need to be rude, Nostra. Honest mistake not seeing the above.

 

[hsquid]

St.K draft thread is a pisser.
I only ready the last 5 pages and some pearlers

7 + 8 + 32 for our 2 and F1
And LDU is a lock to go to them
LOL

Below is a ripper. Apparently it's our ineptitude if Twomey is right, St. K miss out on their targets and we have to make do with the most talented player in the draft.

 

[Clarke is King]

Draft isn’t as fun when we don’t have 5 first rounders

 

[My Left Foote]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Thurstfields interview was a ploy to signal to other clubs to pay up if you want pick 2. There seems to be this narrative that we’re desperate to trade back. We aren’t going to trade back unless the deal is right for us. It’s a win win scenario.

Both things can be true. We can really like Lalor and FOS but if another club likes them just as much they need to pay for the privilege to draft them.

Harper wrecking his ankle was his downfall wasn't it?

Anyone else think Thursfield was absolutely brilliant this morning on Gettable. Thinks he’s changed the course of the rubbish narrative that was out there. Hope he means everything he was saying. Was awesome.

Really? I think this year’s been heaps more interesting.

 

[ShoutyMan11]

If we pick FOS does Will Phillips get a game next year?

Absolutely agree first time in a long time we've had no idea what we're going to do this close to the draft

 

[DuckYeah]

Fos will play half back/wing .. wont be immediate in mid rotations

 

[King Hansen]

Considering our injury list is always about 8 players long, I'd say yes he does.

 

[krakouers]

NM give Bailey 'Butcher' Scott get 10
RCH give 10 get Bailey 'Butcher' Scott

Wait a minute…. Where have I heard that before?

As well, we currently have no inside mids in the VFL. FOS will play in other positions around the ground in the s but no hurt in developing his inside game in the VFL until he’s cherry ripe.

 

[the big lebowski]

I actually think FOS will have a better first year at half back than sheez and Kerch. He will tackle, spoil, harass and not give up easy goals.

 

[jay317]

FOS could be a real weapon all over the ground next year.

 

[ShoutyMan11]

I want FOS and Tauru so bad I really can't pick between them. Both will fill multiple gaping holes for us
