Analysis 2024 National Draft

[RPCB]

More likely it would be 3 & 38 from us and Richmond would then on-trade 38 for a F2.
That gets the premium for trading up into normal range.

If Richmond wanted to do it, it would be because they don't want 7 first round kids coming in at once and look to consolidate with say 4 or 5 at the top end.

That’s fair enough. My personal opinion is I hope we just keep 3 and select the best available to us. 10+ is a crap shoot in any draft. 6 is fine, 3 is much better. I am just so excited that we could potentially draft Smith, Lalor or Draper.

I like him but with all due respect he’s not going to grow 6 inches.

He's not going to grow 4 inches, but I don't know where you get the 6 from.

 

[myblueroan]

I think we should trade Pick 3 to WCE for 12 + Hawthorn F1.

Then trade Hawthorn F1 + 38 to Richmond for 14.

Then go to the draft with 12 and 14 again

 

[Benaly28]

Do we actually need a mid that gets a lot of it or a mid that’s a point of difference and that’s damaging??

POD all day.

6 was just a number. The point is he is not all of a sudden going to shoot up to be Pendles size which is what previous poster was hoping.

Why do I get the feeling u know who we’re targeting?

And that we didn’t move all the way up to 3 without a plan to take a certain kid (and get a pick in before certain other teams)?

Slow

How does Langford’s speed compare to Will Ashcroft, Lachie Neale, Zack Merrett, Bont? None of which I’d consider quick, rather their footy smarts are quick.

 

[DollarsandSense]

I’m all aboard the Draper Train. But geez, watching the Jagga highlights. I’d be more than stoked with either. Not a big fan of FOS. Not sure why, but just doesn’t wow me.
I think we should plan for Jagga, but the narrative and leak something about Draper so Crows come knocking.

What could they offer to jump from 4 to 3?.

 

[Triniboy]

This is my summation in a nutshell. Perfect scenario for mine (yes again Sheepy) - trade with RICH for then 7/13 and take Smillie then Trainor. Two needs, two point of difference, two exceptional talents. Trade 38 up with F2 or F3 (AFL permission) and take M. Whitlock or O’Farrell - two KPD/KPF/Ruck options and a point pick. Get Campo 1 (bid around 35-40) then Campo 2 late. That is a draft for the ages.

NB: We need to respect and select our F/S options if we want to keep faith with future F/S options.

Also, Charlie Clark got delisted. Liked him in his draft year. Small forward.

agree…we have enough midfielders and we just off loaded one….from where I sit we need key defenders…Trainor looks like the best defender in the draft and Smillie is a player that can play on ball or go back…similar to Cripps…Bo Allan has similar qualities too Smillie.

F1 or GTFO.

Still want Pick 3 though. Screw Adelaide, if Austin thinks Draper is the best player available (if he’s still there), then we should draft Draper.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Who you liking Lemming? You been all over it this year?

I like a heap of players.
Reid is my favourite, but I feel I'm on my own there.
The vision this year of FOS is not amazing, but all reports tell me otherwise.
Levi > Draper > Lombard > Lalor > Jagga > FOS
That might be my Carlton preference.

Late picks I like are Davis, Boxshall, Urquhart.. from a WA perspective. Hannaford if we somehow drifts to our second pick.

 

[Juice030103]

I just can’t get behind Levi at 1. Doesn’t seem anywhere near as good as his brother. He is definitely an accumulator

I think we only traded for pick 3 specifically because West Coast were the only ones willing to entertain our trade. Would be surprised if they did it purely to jump Adelaide at pick 4.

If we were willing to make that trade then the Crows would know we weren't going to take Draper anyway. Can't see it happening.

Yeah, if I'm them I call our bluff. We didn't trade 12+14 to get up to pick 3 only to pass on our man for a bonus F2. If we indicate to Adelaide, we're willing to do something like that it'll be pretty clear to them we don't plan on taking him.

If cows think we're into Draper, they trade with Norf, not us.

 

[Bearded Carpenter]

If Finn makes it to us, it’s obvious his nickname will simply be ‘Cuz’.
Or perhaps ‘Cousin’, for those familiar with The Bear.

I’d prefer to call him ‘Shark’

 

[Red Bull]

If cows think we're into Draper, they trade with Norf, not us.

Feels like a North/Richmond trade would sit comfortably for both.
See Tigers taking Smith and Lalor.
Reckon we’ll have the choice of O’Sullivan or Draper.
If we genuinely can’t decide between the two, I’d be telling that to young Reid and saying, flip us something if you want Draper or we WILL take him …

 

[tarczonandjane]

Thanks to the person who argued FOS’s highlights in his first VFL game looked better. Even though he only had 12 possessions, I’d agree. It’s worth a look to see why recruiters rate him.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Are Lachie Neale, Zach Merrett or the Bont what we need in our midfield right now alongside Cripps, Cerra and Walsh?

 

[Psychochook]

We won't pick him but the team that ends up with Langford will be very happy.

I only watch highlights and his are great. Decisive with great skills. Opens the game up well for his team.

 

[YeoShuey]

Hopefully Richmond pick Lalor and acquired Pick 2 from North to get Jagga.

I prefer we get FOS over Jagga at this point. I’d prefer Draper over both.

No problem, glad you took a look. Definitely changed my perspective.

He's a lot slower than any of them

 

[Robbo's my hero]

I like the look of Langford. Speed isn’t everything.
