Analysis 2024 National Draft

[Aphrodite]

Cal reckons most clubs would rate FOS over Lalor, but Lalor is a powerful type and a better forward while FOS is more pure mid despite having some ability to play elsewhere. Says Tigers probably think they can get other midfielders later but not a Lalor type.

 

[Pablito]

North list boss on gettable.
"It's down to 2 players"
Regarding Taru "lots of growth left"

Reckon they're taking FOS or Lalor. He was super complementary of FOS.

Also reckon they're not trading it.

Haha funny how people can get different perceptions watching the same thing. I thought he was a lot more emotive when talking about Tauru. I thought the growth comment was in reference to his upside.

Interesting take, it seemed to me like one player he talked about had no negative except for a couple throw away lines about finger injuries and the other had room to grow.

He also emphasised they took 2 talls last year in Dawson and Goad.

If I was putting money on it, I'd put it on FOS at 2.

 

[El Topo]

Just from a couple whispers

Club rates Lalor & FOS

Next level, Smith Draper, Langford (no idea of the pecking order)

Consistent with meedya reports and ITK Yazz when when pick trade went down - speculation is fun but there's no way we're passing on FOS if he makes it to #3

Would seem that way, for now

 

[Arr0w]

What would be fun, is if Tigers trade for pick 2, taking both Lalor and FOS

Then Crows wanting to trade for 3 with 4 and a future to take Draper

Doubt either would happen though

 

[reubsblues]

I don't know why but I just don't want FOS....
Can't put my finger on it why...just ...feel it

I f have the same feeling about Draper

 

[Pablito]

I think Cal just said Smith is the favourite for us rn.

 

[Ollo]

Yep said Smith has been favourite for us for a while now.

You beauty!

 

[marcmurphy3]

I reckon Cals phantom will go

1. Lalor
2. FOS
3. Smith

Then either
4. Draper
5. Langford
6. Smillie
7. Tauru
Or
4. Langford
5. Tauru
6. Smillie
7. Draper

Trying hard not to give away his phantom which is hard when going through all the picks. But when he got to pick 3, he just said Smith pretty confidently.

[marcmurphy3]

Cal said he expects Lucas to join us with our 4th pick and some clubs rate him ahead of Ben (more clubs rate ben higher though).

I think Cal has been closely watching our poll Pab…

Mentioned this a while back, not so much rating him higher, just believe he has better AFL traits

You’ve definitely been consistent on this one, Arr0w

 

[GT619]

At pick 3 I want the best player available, if it’s Sid I’ll be very happy! I just don’t want us to pick a player because he is fast

no it has to be more than that

 

[marcmurphy3]

I can follow that logic. Ben plays in a position where the best players play and probably can't play anywhere else. Competition will be stiff.

Lucas plays a niche position mostly occupied by role players and plays it really well. Probably plays the wing role better then any player in the draft. It'll be easier for him to make it.

Blues taking Jagga Smith, Crows taking Langford. Draper sliding to the Saints at 8.

What a topsy turvy draft year this is.

maybe it shows they don't know themselves

Think he would also make for a decent HB

For sure

.....nice boy...Draper will hit the ground like a train....But Jagga has all the moves of a decade long star.

Pick 3= Jagga Smith................FOS/Draper/Langford (reckon Lalor/Ragnar go 1&2)
