Analysis 2024 National Draft

I reckon the rookie spots will depend on who slides through from the draft. If a player we rate gets through (similar Carroll last year) we probably grab the young player. If not, we probably have more SSP spots.

I think we have someone targeted

Perfect world I am seeing

Pick 3
Pick 38
then Ben & Lucas Campo

Then 2 rookies of which one will be a "Cooper Lord" type ie. no one has discussed this player at all and will be a surprise.

Then a spot for an SSP

Just to clarify, Soapy. By “Cooper Lord” type, you don’t mean the player is like Cooper, rather that they have just gone under the radar. I feel like your second sentence is already pretty clear on that… but hey, it’s draft day, and I am nervously excited!

We interviewed Charlie West. I wonder where we had him in mind for. Pick 38? Later pick if we have to trade 38 due to Ben bid? Rookie spot?

I feel as though we will pick a player no one has mentioned or considered as a rookie.

My gut feel is we will have one spot for a 'slider" and another one for someone we have targeted. We have spent so much time and resources this year looking everywhere. More than ever before

Then we will use SSP for a player at end of pre season.

I really hope its.

Pick 3
KPD
Ben
Lucas

Small forward

DGB/Mcmahon

Pick 3, Ben, Lucas and Lord last year are all midfield/running players, hopefully we balance these guys out with key defenders and small forwards.

Which one of the top prospects played basketball?

Hey did you know that Scott Pendlebury played basketball in high school?

 

[marcmurphy3]

Interesting Mick mentioned Bens vertical leap.

Based on his preseason testing Ben would have won both the standing and running vertical jump at the combine (my research, not from mick)

 

[Bic]

Can share that Drapers disposal is no.1 concern why we won’t pick him ahead of FOS and Smith. Won’t be a surprise to many.

My dream scenario based on being a supporter and amateur recruiter with no real idea

Pick 3: Harvey Langford (Gun Mid)
Pick 38: Harry O'Farrell (Young Tall Defender)
Pick 63: Ben Camporeale (Mid)
Pick 68: Lucas Camporeale (HBF)

Rookie 1: Will Hayes

(Speedy Small Forward)
Rookie 2: Isiah Winder or Coby Burgiel (Both have speed and talent and are still young)

SSP: Liam McMahon (Great person who can play KPF, KPD or 2nd ruck)

 

[Bic]

I’ll ask about Langford

really liked Winder in his draft year...clearly things didn't go his way at WCE....

 

[Sheephead]

I said I was gone, but it’s actually very tame in here this year - so far.

From Mick the Agressor I got, FWIW;

There’ll be an early live trade. RIC-NM is my guess.
We will draft……….Draper. He’s the burst mid to replace Crippa, who ‘thinks he can play another X amount of years’.
He doesn’t think a bid at 38 comes.
We’ll take a rookie and add depth in the SSP.

Happy with that I/V.

 

[Stamos]

I’ll ask about Langford

And Lalor?
It seems certain he goes at 1, wonder where we rate him?

Rookie Draft: Finn O'Sullivan

 

[marcmurphy3]

It'll be funny if after all the talk of these pick swaps there are no live trades on night one. It's actually looking fairly likely now this could be the case. At least no particularly meaningful ones. Richmond may part with a late 1st for an F1 (although their night 2 picks are more likely) and you may get a few minor pick slide deals (F2s to move up a couple of spots) but that's about it.

NM 2 split most likely not happening. Same with the Saints pick 8. Can't see any other team trading until maybe GWS and Sydney, but the price would be so exorbitant most would be priced out.

 

[Moon]

Hope we don't go for a skinny kid .. although I do remember Carlton's skinny winger Gary Crane beating Hawthorn Ruckman Don Scott in an arm wrestle on TV back in the Day ... so from then ---> size didn't necessarily mean greater strength.

Harvey Langford ... but of course, whoever they choose is the right decision .... of course

Now you’re just being silly.

 

[Bfevola]

All I know is we need some KPP backs somewhere. Otherwise if Weitering goes down we are ****ed .........

really liked Winder in his draft year...clearly things didn't go his way at WCE....

Just read this:

Isiah Winder Draft Profile

central.rookieme.com

Winder is searching for another shot at AFL level after producing an outstanding season with South Fremantle. The diminutive midfielder spent three years on West Coast's list between 2021-23, but was delisted and returned to the WAFL competition playing with a renewed sense of freedom.

Winder averaged 25.4 disposals and booted 16 goals across 18 appearances, good enough to take out the Bulldogs' best and fairest award. Despite his dominant early-season form, a niggling knee injury saw him overlooked for the mid-season draft, and he did not test after being called up to the WA state draft combine.

Think Smith is more Butters than Daicos

Unfortunately, at times he reminds me of Toby McLean

bang on.

Didn’t get that at all from what Agresta said, the live trade he was talking about he said the club was prepared for every scenario. When asked about Jagga and Draper he talked more about Jagga, he didn’t say Draper is the one to replace Crippa.

Later on when Riley asked Cal which clubs he was was keeping an eye on for the live trading, he said the Giants and Bombers. There was no mention of the Kangas trading pick 2

No. News to me.
