Analysis 2024 National Draft

[Aphrodite]

 

[Arr0w]

So, who do you like for us at #3?

(I know you prefer two first round instead)

As I listed them, in that order

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Get the bronze ready, because we'll have access to one of Jagga or Draper.

Think it will be either Finn or Jagga

 

[RPCB]

Get the bronze ready, because we'll have access to one of Jagga or Draper.

INB4 they go 1 and 2.

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Could be both. Has burst at stoppages is unlike any other in this draft, his long kicking could an advantage but also his weakness is he can't spot up shorter targets

Draper can hit up short targets quite well.

 

[Sheephead]

More than comfortable with Jagga at 3. Give him #7. Ben Campo #16. Lucas can have Bradley’s old number.

Draper can hit up short targets quite well.

I can hit up short targets. Speaking of which - Where is Ferris anyways??

If SOS bids on campo at 32 he can have him. Lucas really shouldn’t be drafted.

If we end up with Jagga I’ll be stoked. Finn I will be happy with but slightly scared of his bust potential. Draper seems to be sliding down lists for some reason.

 

[Sheephead]

I reckon we’re going to Jagga a good one.

I think he's a lock. Smith.

I agree, I think there is a: 70% chance we end up with Jagga and a 25% chance we end up with FOS (if Jagga is taken or if Lalor and Tauru go one and two) and a 5% chance we end up with Draper.

Despite the fact I think Draper is exactly what we need, I just get a vibe the Club isn't looking there. I sincerely hope I'm wrong as I think he's the best player in the draft.

Fair enough. I was actually trying to be as funny and witty as Sheephead, but.......
You know. Locksmith. Anyway. FWIW I hope we get Jagga too.

Haha right. Went way over my head.

 

[Ninja Worrier]

My money is still on Finn

 

[bmaurizio]

Think it will be either Finn or Jagga

Really hope your spot on, either lad would be an exceptional outcome for the Blues.

 

[Benaly28]

Draper vs. Smith - why do most regard Smith as the better option?

I don’t.

Team Sid all the way.

Tauru just has to go to North or they’ll tear the place down.They can’t afford to trade that pick 2 out other teams will pounce on him even though he’s not in the best or top 5 although he may end up being that one day.

Tauru may well be the November surprise, has real bolter potential, would be great for us.

From limited vision Jagga reminds me of a smaller, weaker but more agile version of Clayton Oliver

I like and want Jagga, but I'm not against any of them, let alone just Draper.
You don't get to have an under-age career that he's had, nor get to be in the conversation of top 5 draft picks, without it being warranted.

I think I'm an ok judge of a good young footballer, but I also think that the people we have in charge of making this call are much more accredited to do so than me. These are different people to those we've had making the calls before and I'm very confident they'll get it right.
If they get it wrong, which seems unlikely to me, with who and what they have to choose from, then, they will hear about it I'm sure.
If and until then, I'm backing them in 100% to make the right call.

I believe others in his range/ranking have better vision, at the moment

 

[NewDarkNavyBlues]

Yes his vision is not to the level of Jagga. It appears we may get a sniff at FOS though if North keep 2 and select Tauru. I wonder if it makes the tigers think twice about their pick 1 if they can’t get 2?

I still believe Tigers will take Lalor at 1, and I would as well for them, North or us

Picks 1 and 2 would put the Tiggs in a very strong position - gives them flexibilty to take their Dusty clone as well as FOS, like having a bob each way.

If they don't secure pick 2, I agree it puts them in a bit of an awkward position which one to take. As much as their supporters thinking their gonna get a bargain cos Norf only have 2 and junk picks, I reckon the ball is right back in their court to come up with a trade that Norf will agree to. Lalor or FOS?

And in the meantime, we're just sitting back waiting for all the pieces to be sorted, knowing we're gonna get one of Lalor, FOS or Jagga......

Kind of reminds me of Cameron Rayner.

Personally I think there are better options at 3 but he's got some impressive AFL traits.

The Seinfeld gif really did it for me.

Perhaps Tigers think Lalor 1 and Smillie 6?

Saints might make a move as well but I don’t see north getting enough value for it. I personally think Tauru will be elite.
