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

[The Nostradamus]

Lions matching Ashcroft bid with picks in the 30s is actually taking the piss out of the system

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

Ahh yes that trade that we look at and think, we must not bid on Ashcroft due to Brissy being such good blokes

 

[chubbspeterson]

Wonder if one of those trades will be our F2 for * 28 or 31. Wait and see.

 

[winalotroos]

Deadset buzzing. The fact we can trade back in at any point makes the night so much more interesting for me even though it mightn’t happen tonight.

Yah but each pick we will thinking “ will it happen now “

BuT We'Ll aLl GEt A tUrn....

Edit: This is in no way aimed at Nostra. It is a go at people from clubs who have benefitted massively from the current system saying that it is appropriate because the rules apply to everyone. The fact they keep changing shows this as false.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Or maybe we trade 62 and a F4 to Lions for 49 or something and not bid on Ashcroft.

So this is going to be a great night.
It starts with a bang when Richmond call out Lalor and we can accelerate our hand-rubbing glee knowing that nothing can stand in the way between us and getting the FOSerelli.
And then we build the suspense by bidding on Ashcroft....
The moment comes! Blue and white balloons and confetti fall. We shed a quiet tear as K. Grieg presents the guernsey.

...and then we wait, excruciatingly until 3am with it slowly dawning on us, inch by inch, that we are not actually going to trade back into the first round.

 

[iloveireland]

If Jagga slides F1 + F3?

 

[shinboner magic]

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

 

[chubbspeterson]

Don't think Dogs would've been that clever at the time to be honest lol.

 

[shinboner magic]

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

Maybe a Xmas card

 

[Chewy Chewman]

Time for Brady to start thinking outside no box required.

I think he need to be inside the venue to make picks.

 

[Lomas]

Is there red carpet coverage tonight? What is George wearing?

 

[chickenonachain]

If tigers take more than 1min to make the first pick sack their recruiting staff

Quick game is a good game

Will take them four minutes to make their selection afl love drama. Then it’s our turn to take four minutes for our selection it’s the afl way

 

[Souup]

So great man are you going to give us any hidden gems in the 20+ region that you’re keen on

Two that many will know by name, and I'm a lot higher on than general consensus: I'd borderline trade our F1 for Hannaford who many have late 20's. I'm huge on Jonty Faull, I think he's the best key forward in this draft and should be going closer to 10 than 20.

I really like Luca Greggo as a back flanker who can go into the midfield who has all the intangibles you'd want in a player. Does the hard things; he's courageous and aggressive. Needs to work on polishing his skills up but I think it's worth giving him a crack.

I'd take a look at about 5 blokes from Werribee: Riley Bice if he can learn to be slightly safer with his ball use could be a weapon off half back. Jack Henderson is versatile, consistent, has good skills and is overdue for a shot at AFL level. Zac Banch or Jay Dahlhaus as lively and aggressive small forwards with a dart throw late/in the PSD.

Not huge on this one but could still happen, STK f1 + 28 + 7 for pick 2

 

[Disco Dew]

Love hannaford - he’ll end up at Syd and be this drafts Warner - he does it all and is a game changer.

 

[Roostorm]

Let the fun begin….finally it’s here…..
Lets get ready to welcome the next roo…

 

[Shermanator]

FFS I couldn’t wait for Jack Riewoldt to retire because I couldn’t cop him as a footballer, now I’ve gotta see his extremely punchable bonce on every fox footy promo..

 

[Heaps of fun]

What time was the first pick last year?
