Analysis 2024 National Draft

A big watch on Adelaide.

Trading for pick 2?

 

[ianh]

Interesting that Agresta said we’re taking 3 picks to the rookie draft. My assumption was that we’d use 1 and pass to keep the other 2 spots free for SSP. Maybe we’d be willing to select 3 in the rookie draft if our preferred players are available.

I didn't hear Agresta, but marcmurphy3's post specifically said " 3 spots available in the rookie draft. Didn't suggest we'll use them all".

 

[Bale Dup]

Most overrated draft in history.

How so?
Hasn't even taken place yet?
Over hyped, maybe? But over rated? May have to wait a few years before that can be accurately assessed and answered.

I think if all candidates were Victorian then Langford doesn't slide past pick 4.

I want Jagga Smith. That is all.

Draper has C Judd traits

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

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

Mick was playing with a very straight bat, as all recruiters are right now. He didn't indicate any preference of one over the other, although the club would definitely have.

The biggest takeaways/facts I got from the interview was that firstly, we're gonna have 4 selections in the ND. And secondly, we have a number of contingencies in place with a Campo bid before #38.

Which means we'll likely trade out and trade back in with someone like Sydney if the bid comes - or that we'll possibly match with pick 38 (depending on where the bid lands) and have players in mind late in the draft.

This is an excellent draft but I am not sure about superdraft. Where it is strong is its depth rather than very top end. The top 5 (disregarding Ashcroft given he will be at Brisbane) all have excellent traits but some reservations on them all as well. Not sure there are any "generational types" but at the back half of the first round through to the end of the second round or a little later the quality is better at that level than any draft I can think of off the top of my head (always possible I am overlooking one).

Once again, Ian hits nail on head.

All the Richmond supporters will be out in force - so yep.

I think it is a very even draft, but weak comparing it to previous years, no where near a super draft

 

[TerryWallet]

Imo, some are starting to think the Top 5 aren't elite because for a month now posters, and people around the Club no doubt, have been picking each one apart, in favour of their other favoured ones, and in absolute fear of the next SPS or Dow.

Of course that doesn't exclude some who would genuinely have a different opinion though.

I like agresta

Is that you Mick?

Edited for accuracy and sheer terror.

One more sleep til the draft

Bring on the rumours - we just can’t take Cal’s research as given

100%. You'd struggle to find top picks any year that don't have any question marks on them at all.

SPS, Dow, LOB etc have shown they can football. Maybe not 1st round worthy, but those 3 with some confidence and better coaching in their draft years would be handy depth (Dow saved our arse last season during our run with some fine work).

 

[AT97]

Anyone know if the Twomey late mail phantom comes out today?

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

Anyone know if the Twomey late mail phantom comes out today?

Yes tonight

 

[bradfisher14]

Part of me worries that the Jagga stuff is a red herring to start a chain reaction that ends with FOS at Carlton.

Not sure about "saved our arse". He had a couple where he had some impact.

He was out the door straight away when the A team became available.

StKilda game was monumental for one.

I wouldn't worry. FOS or Jagga would be great additions to our club. Both would make us better in differing ways.

If 22 touches and a goal is monumental they should be carving Crippas head onto mount Rushmore as we speak

Oh no doubt, I like FOS a lot and he probably fits our team needs better, but I prefer Jagga.
