Analysis 2024 National Draft

[Aphrodite]

 

[The Return of the Paf]

Take away Ashcroft surely the club has identified 3 targets worth the trade up.

I'm hoping we've identified 6 players apart from Ashcroft.

 

[branedotorg]

Port are in talks to move up to Pick 6 or 10

Edit: Pick 10.

Who are they gunning for C4?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

I have a feeling they want to get ahead of WCE for Bo.

Any word on the rumour mill of who the Blues are after C4?

I'd imagine the Crom would be a bit nervy

Yes, but I can’t put it out there because there’s lots of games being played atm.

In raw numbers, it is an interesting exercise, and every year, you could adopt different strategies, but perhaps looking at who else was available after pick 12 and 14 might show different outcomes

Below is a list from 2013 onwards of what was drafted at 3 vs 12 and 14 taking out Father son and Academy selections in the draft order.

2013 - Jack Billings - Pat Cripps and Zac Jones

Acres, Impey, Merrett, Barrass, Aliir, Laird

2014 - Andrew Brayshaw - Luke Weller and Sam Durdin

Lever, Steele, Miller, Maynard, Dale, Langdon, Sinclair

2015 - Clayton Oliver - Tom Doedee and Ryan Burton

McKay, Hardwick, Williams, Dawson, Broad, Papley

2016 - Hugh McCluggage - Jordan Gallucci and Jarrod Berry

Marshall, English, Hayward, Ridley, Drew, Darcy, Stewart, Rioli, Ryan, Larkey, Stengle

2017 - Paddy Dow - Darcy Fogarty and Matthew Ling

2023 - Zane Duursma- Kolthyn Thorlsup and James Leaske

Wilson, Moir, Morris, Freijah, Humphries

Which selection group do you prefer ?

Looks different?

How about draft night, I will send you a message or something and state who I would have picked.... Lock it away and see what was a better option in this hypothetical world.

Always enjoy your content/chat LM, but, might start a thread after the draft so anyone can post their views of players taken 12, 14 and beyond

Nice to see Ben ranked at 47 and a bevy of talls likely to be available around our second pick in O’Farrell, Gerreyn, Nicholls and Barrat.

Looks like we’ll get what we aimed for at the start of the trade period.

Our 2nd will be pick 34 as well, which should be in the sweet spot, so I expect it to go nowhere.

Don't have Reid, Allan, Hotton that high

But that's a 928

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Smith or Draper. Please. Pretty please.

The more I see and read about Smith, the more I want him. Very different beast to Cripps, but given his role, he could be the ideal replacement in a few years time.

And I just want to put it on record that I can't for the life of me see what the hype is about Finn O'Sullivan. I hope to God we don't call his name out.

I’d be happy with O’Farrell at 38, Austin and Co were at some of his games monitoring him.

We look to have some KPP as DFA options, I’m glad we’re looking at bolstering this area of our list.

Of course if Lalor is there at 3 it’s a no brainer.

Love your work ArrOw. Great read and a really good reflection on picks that came later in the draft over so many years.

The only thing is that it's not relevant to the point. Yes many great players have been overlooked multiple times by multiple clubs and have gone on to be great players. It will happen again this year.

I honestly don't think there is a Dow at pick 3 this year.

Such a great discussion between pick oppinions by everyone. IMO one Ashcroft/Sheezel/Daicos/Wardlaw/McKirtcher type beats two Ollie Hollands as much as i love him.

 

[GT619]

Jagga Smith is incredibly impressive in this interview. Oozes genuine confidence, intelligence, humility, poise, and leadership. If he slips through to our pick he would be very difficult to pass on IMO. As much as I love Draper, Jagga could really be something special. He screams 300+ games, multiple AA, future captain etc.

do we need another accumulator though

 

[KrispyKreme]

do we need another accumulator though

No. Probably not you probably need an explosive midfielder like Lalor I guess.

You could have tried to get Petracca with pick 3. If this was the case.

 

[AT97]

Don't have Reid, Allan, Hotton that high

Do think Barrat would be good pick for that KPD role?

 

[TimeFor17]

Only seen highlights of players but best players in this draft will be Lalor and Smillie. Both high impact, move well and strong players with solid skills. Only question on them will be injuries.

 

[HyphensBack]

I haven’t watched enough U18s footy but anyone able to explain why Harvey Langford is not even in the poll

His kicking is elite - we need that
He apparantly has great endurance
And he goes forward and kicks goals

I also love how he takes grabs and moves the ball on early to advantage - he strikes me as a rookie who could play half forward and rotate thru the middle from Game 1

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Our 2nd will be pick 34 as well, which should be in the sweet spot, so I expect it to go nowhere.

There will be 4 bids in academy players before our pick, and 4 picks burned matching those bids, which means our pick will stay exactly where it is.

 

[Juice030103]

My guess is Draper if C4 knows

 

[RPCB]

My guess is Draper if C4 knows

You can guess who Carlton could take, but not who Richmond and Norf will take. Maybe one of them take Draper.

 

[GoBlues!]

There will be 4 bids in academy players before our pick, and 4 picks burned matching those bids, which means our pick will stay exactly where it is.

Just to clarify, the 4 picks burned before our pick will be used to match bids on two players - Levi Ashcroft (Lions picks 27, 34) and Kako (Essendon picks 28, 31).

The other two bids expected, on Lombard and Marshall, involve burning picks after our pick 38.

Interesting that Clancy Dennis didn’t even crack a mention as being unlucky to miss out. Strange that an All Australian key defender doesn’t get rated in the top 60.

Guess Dennis will be part of that group that flows over into the 50 to 60 range…
