Analysis 2024 National Draft

[WalshistheGOAT]

Charlie leads?

Like Big Foot, I've heard of sightings of it.

 

[The Defender]

Berry at 16 would bring a tear to my eye

Would you mind posting the list as behind paywall.

Would love to have 2 picks in top 30 & B.Campo fall past 30.

Seems some good key position options rated between 20-30.

I wouldn't be worrying about KPP this year unless it was via trade but you're right in that there's some more than capable KPP in that 20-30 range which could allow us to double up before a Ben bid. Personally I'd be trying to get up to a pick that secures us Berry or Travaglia as year 1 impact players that address list deficiencies. Lindsay or Reid would be great for footskills but not sure how quickly we'd see them given our plethora of mids.

If we lose this coming week, there’s a chance we end up with a top 10 pick. Would most certainly trade next years 1st and our current 2nd to try and get another pick anywhere from 8-14.

I’m keen on Joe Berry and Xavier Lindsay

If Austin doesn’t call his name, the two of us riot.

Don't start rioting without me. I would also accept Murphy Reid but even at my most pessimistic I still doubt we'd be picking that high.

I haven't seen this year's draft highlight reels yet but I think it's strange that everyone is going gaga about a small forward.
IMHO, we need a P. O. D mid that has speed and elite skills both by hand and especially by foot.
Our midfield is strong around clearances but relies heavily on good ruckwork (obviously) and Cripps.
If either of those 2 factors are evened up or beaten, we're screwed.
We need someone with genuine burst speed and great skills far more than we need another small forward.
Keep Martin without selling the farm, get a good preseason into him, Williams and Motlop, and focus the draft on speed and skills.
Some."good" players may have to go to get the draft hand but that's how it has to be.
Time is ticking before yet another bloody rebuild.

agree. Although I think berry has shown that he does have midfield qualities. Speed in the forward line is useless if your going to move the ball slowly. People are underrating how good our forward line pressure.

He also plays midfield, has elite skills, speed and works through traffic as well as anyone in this draft

My general drafting philosophy is a player who has proven they can win the ball in the air and on the ground in the forward line, as well as finish their work in front of goal is the skill set that is most transferable, most valuable and most rare.

If you can do all that, you can probably play midfield too if you’ve got half decent fitness.

Players that I’ve liked of that type in recent times were Duursma, Sheezel, Rachele, Weightman and our own Elijah.

You don’t always get the picks to take these players so if you get a chance I think you pull the trigger.

Berry strikes me as a player with that kind of skill set.

Always been of similar opinion. A lot of the top line half backs are similar too. Stewart, prime Doch, Houston etc

Didn’t a poster specifically state we are in to Datolli?

After the rumour, lots said he’d be a later pick, this list has him at 23

The way we are currently sliding, yeah our 2nd round pick could be about 23……

 

[BluStreak]

if J Berry is not avaliable at our pick then I would focus on a KPD like O'Farrell

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

if J Berry is not avaliable at our pick then we should nuke Ikon park and all follow the water polo instead

EFA

I just cant do another season of watching Owies, Cottrell and Motlop fumble every ground ball in sight

 

[BluStreak]

If we could, would you pick KaKo

 

[Prem17]

It's the delivery into forward 50 that kills us.

 

[BlueJet]

Charlie leads?

When Harry was out.. coz he kinda had to.
He draws multiple opponents because he often provides a static target, that's on him.

 

[ray8182]

Really like kako. He converts opportunities others can’t and really plays up tempo. Lots of energy.

I find it really hard to choose between kako and berry. Berry adds a lot of speed in the forward half of ground. Could play high half forward not just close to goal.

Unfortunately it looks like the AFL are going to change the rules again to Essendon's advantage, and Kako will be inaccessible to the other clubs.

Berrys better imo anyway but it does suck that 1 of the 2 high quality half forwards of the group will be off the table automatically

 

[David Sylvian]

From the YouTube clip of berry, he couldn’t hit his passes by foot early doors, must be missing something. Prefer a KPD, Whitlock maybe.

 

[Opium]

However we target it needs to be someone with an elite kick and has speed.
