Spoiler: 2024 Draft Picks

 

[My Left Foote]

We made the rumour file (I know) on 3AW this morning. Rumour is that we will swap pick 2 with tiggers for 6 and 10 - deal today. Thats what was said.

Won't happen. We'll hold pick 2 on draft night, what happens from there who knows but I suspect it won't be traded and we'll use pick 2.

 

[spurs]

Pick 6 and 10 for 2? Done deal.

 

[Shinboner1]

Pick 6 and 10 for 2? Done deal.

 

[Elroo]

Pick 6 and 10 for 2? Done deal.

If that occurred, we'd suddenly see an influx of Tigers supporters claiming that they'll trade pick 2, but only for 2 top 10 draft picks.

 

[DunderHead]

We would be laughing if we get 6 and 10 for 2. I suppose it depends on how desperate Tigs are to get pick 2 but I doubt they’d pay that.

 

[cznsnowy91]

6 and 10 would be a great deal. Won't get my hopes up though, feels unlikely.

 

[toepoker]

Look, my judgment could be off here having literally never listened to the 3AW rumour file, but it seems like an unlikely source to be pinning our hopes on

 

[Lomas]

......most of them never had it!!

What an out of character post.

Depends. If it’s actually Ross’ rumour, it’s probably above 50% chance. If it’s some random calling in, it’s about 0%.

I think you may have misinterpreted my argument. I'm arguing for keeping a strong draft hand for next year and addressing weaknesses in the list rather than spending future picks or wasting pick 2 on another high-end mid.

Picking a high end mid isn’t a waste.

Yes, we need kpps, but a) they need to be the right ones and b) be available in our range.

Our midfield is not the finished product by any means

Well it might have some legs then.

 

[BlueandWhiteinmyBlood]

I hope we retain pick 2 (but not reach for anyone) and then trade back into the first round somehow.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Yeah because it's made up of players that are 25, 22, 22, 20, 20 and 19 years old. So one player in their prime and five in their first four years. All are first rounders and all but one are top five picks. The answer to our midfield isn't more top five picks it is time.

No there are still spots to improve on . This will sound harsh whilst Scott, Simpkin are very good they can be improved on. Will is a wait and see and perhaps Powell might high fwd or back flanker sure McKercher might pop on the wing but there is spots for truly exceptional mids

 

[Lomas]

Am I correct in thinking that nothing has actually happened in this space for 23 days, and today is the last day anything can until the draft? Not even a DFA added or another pick swap for any club, not just ours? Thrilling times.

Best result (IMO) would be to get a good aggressive trade early into the first round with a future pick or two. Will mean clubs like the Tigers have to pony up or f off. If we managed a pick in that 3-10 range for a future pick or picks all of a sudden any perceived leverage for a 6/10 deal is gone.

FWIW I think 6/10 is an okay deal for us. I don't know if I'd be keen on much less than that and even then I'd want to be 100% sure and set on the player I was going to get with 6 at a minimum. Every draft is different, but I wouldn't be trading either Sheezel or McKercher for the 6 & 10 combo in either of their respective drafts as of today.
