Analysis 2024 National Draft

[Ninja Worrier]

So we currently have 63, 68, 69 and 72. If we assume they all come in roughly 10 picks each because of academy bids being matched and clubs passing on picks it leaves us with 53, 58, 59 and 62. In total that is 684 points. If you take into account a 20% discount for father son we have ~855 points to work in total with which is valued around ~ pick 22. Is that correct?

I think the discount is a set number of points after a certain piick

Ah okay I didn't know about that - looks like 197 points after the 1st round. So that would mean we have 881 pts or roughly pick 21 to work with if I have it right.

 

[stochastic]

Does he fit our midfield mix though?

Ironically, the best fit player for our midfield is already on our list. Billy Wilson (Future AA) is an elite ball user that will provide an injection of outside run that we are lacking.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Yes. Left footer with some outside play and great use. Can’t see why not.

One paced and another big body. Not saying it's the wrong choice as everyones entitled to like who they like but judging off Austin's messaging so far we're after speed and a bit of xfactor across our list.

Actually you're correct, the 197 points is after pick 56

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

The most impressive draft highlights I have seen this year, looks a star. Reminds me a lot of draft age Tom Scully.

 

[Pablito]

Finn O'Sullivan

Great kicking technique
Great hands
Great athletic profile.
Can play in multiple positions

But..
Misses targets more than he should.
Puts teammates under pressure too often.
Gets caught too often.
Hasn't been able to put consistently high numbers up.

He's has the tools, doesn't put it together on game day for me.

Draper, Jagga or Lalor pls.

Jagga's are pretty bloody good, but have to remember he weighs about 16kgs dripping wet and rarely does anything on the defensive side of the ground. I'd love to see how he goes once he adds some weight to his frame

Not sure our match committee even know he exists yet, they play Orazio though lol, lmao even

Yep, what worries me is he's exactly the type we at Carlton and some recruiters get a hard on for.
The athlete over the performance/results. Sometimes it pays off big mostly not.
That's exactly the order i'd go for also

 

[Stamos]

Actually you're correct, the 197 points is after pick 56

197 points is 20% of pick 18, and it applies as the set discount for every bid made after then. It is more than the points for 56, so if a bid is made at or after 56, you can match with your last pick.

So all in all we should have enough already for the Campo's with those 4 late picks.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I'd love to know what recruiters and clubs think of Jagga's frame. Would have to be the lightest framed player we've had come through the draft thats considered an out an out gun.

If he put on some muscle he'd be an interesting prospect

 

[Stamos]

Did he say why.

No, didn’t explain his reasoning. I got the impression that maybe it was a SA/go home factor, but couldn’t understand the reasoning, especially because at a different stage he was saying there’s a reasonable chance that Lalor and FOS would be taken?

Second best IMO…

Fair enough.

I watched an interview the local tv station did with him late last month and he said while it would be great to play for the team he supports (Crows) he's happy to go anywhere.

 

[jezza25]

I’d be making Adelaide totally feel we’ll be taking him if still there, I reckon they’ll do a deal on the day of the draft if Draper is still there at our pick

Na just take him anyway.
To me he’s exactly what we need.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

He nominates three and, in order with his Blues' glasses on, choses Draper, Lalor then FOS.

Pom is also on record saying Orazio was a good trade about 6 months after he made a video trashing him lol. Works hard for content but not a great judge.

What was Butters frame like when drafted? That’s who he reminds me of.

Handled himself well in the VFL. I haven’t seen a quicker, more agile loose ball mid in a long time. One of our weaknesses is speed and he is lightning when the ball hits the deck. Only concern for us is his lack of penetration and scoreboard impact.

 

[bluebaggerjuls]

so many speedy mids to choose from. Fos, jagga and draper all very quick. I like the look of lalor but would pass due to Cody probably being a similar sort of player in 2026

Not great, but Butters loves the contest. Jagga is an expert on avoiding it.

Cody isnt anything like Lalor, if anything he is a far more athletic version of FOS

Yeeeep.

Gotta be Draper, FOS or Lalor.

Cody is what FOS is hyped up to be. But he's 16 and close to 190cm too
