Analysis 2024 National Draft

It sounds to me like the Crows might be a little confident we will draft Draper.

Has been some rumours that North are keen on Draper at 2… maybe smoke and mirrors from them to try and get Adelaide to pay up and then North take Tauru at 4?

If North are considering taking him at 2 they may as well move back a couple of spots and pick up an extra whatever they can get.

If they were confident they'd pay more then F3. I'd say they think we are a chance to draft him. And they're happy to chuck some loose change at North to ensure they get him for sure.

Yep 100%. If they are taking him no matter what anything they get for moving back is a bonus. So long as they don't move back far enough that someone else is a chance to pick him

wonder if richmond then come hard for our pick 3...

I Doubt it. Otherwise they'd go harder at 2. Roos willing to split. Tigers clearly don't think the upgrade is worth giving up much.

You’d think they’ll make a call draft night if crows take Draper at 2

Most of their pick split options probably expose them to that risk. IE anything after 5 because Melbourne might be keen albeit probably prefer him at 9.

Anyone suprised were going to bid on Levi Ashcroft

No.

That’s the way I viewed the video also but hard to make a decisive assessment from such a small sample size when I haven’t seen any full game vision etc.

Same boat here.

Don’t love his decisions or execution at speed (which is very fast)

Hard to know without down the ground footage do we don’t see what he’s seeing but id love him to turn into more of a kick first player.

He’s quick enough that he can afford to slow down and steady to deliver, but he seems to be stuck at warp speed and it compromises his disposal and decisions

Jagga slipping to the Saints at Pick 8 is a nightmare scenario

2024 AFL Phantom Draft: Every pick in the first two rounds

Jasper Chellappah has released his latest two-round AFL Phantom Draft for 2024, with the first of a big two-night event now just two weeks away. Who is your club looking to pick with its early selections?

Bit of a wild order, but the way people are pushing Hotton down the order, I'd love to do this:

(expecting Ashcroft bid)

4 & 39 & F3 to Richmond for 7, 12 & F2

(expecting Lombard bid)

13, 71, 74, Lions F2 to GWS for 18, 19, 58

Smilie, Hotton, Hynes. Make it happen, Austin.

Let’s simplify this…

There’s no way Richmond will trade 6 & 11 for our 3 & 38

At a stretch 6 & 18/20 for our two picks - but, would we be keen to do this?

Because they want to reach up for FOS or Smith? The value is there, we're going down a quality tier in the draft.

Drapers decision making is an issue. All the draftees have there weaknesses and with Draper it’s clear in the YouTube clips that by hand he takes poor options sometimes. Either that or he doesn’t handball to advantage of the receiver. His handballs can result in the ball being turned over.

While Draper is far more powerful than say jagga, jagga decision making is far better.

utter rubbish.

wheres the draper to north talk come from

keep going

Yeah I don't get it, they have plenty of speed in the middle, in fact, all over the ground

If I was them, I'd take FOS who is still quick,, he can spend then partner Duursma up forward.

Zurhaar also a dangerous option forward

 

[V_23]

All signs seem to indicate that we'll take FOS. No idea if that's a good or bad thing.

For pick 1 they can have it….

 

[Crippa#9]

It’s a good thing. He’s a jet.

 

[marcmurphy3]

I'm coming around to FOS. Like the fact he is a multi position player. Gives us more flexibility if guys like Ben Campo and Lord come on who are more pure mids.

Can be that small medium/forward we need until ready for the midfield.

He's a pretty unique player. Can't honesty say who he reminds me of.

 

[Bletch]

RMC's draft guide is out. Doesn't appear to be downloadable this year.

 

[bmaurizio]

Rest assured O’Sullivan is a high caliber footballer and will become an absolute jet. If he’s still on the board at pick 3, Austin wil l snap him up and run.

Like your lateral thinking though

 

[DangerousD]

Here's a couple:

I see you really rated Clarke and this game he only had 16 touches, seeing how he has struggled massively, do you look back and see anything now that you previously missed?

Why did people think he could turn in to a AFL midfielder when he can’t find the footy?
