Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2024 - What do we do, we don't have a top 10 pick?

[jdstorm]

List management is about preparing ahead

What if you cant get a certain ruckman?

A mature ruck means we can push Draper out for a good pick if thats what we want. If we dont have one, we probably need to over pay to keep him

You also want atleast 3-4 ruckman on the list

There’s always Rucks available on the trade market. Especially the delisted Free agent type.

In the above scenario it would be better to pay overs(picks) in a trade to get a veteran ruck in and still get the return from Draper if the priority pick was that good)

Our Ruck 4/5 of Draper, Bryan, Goldy, Wright, Viggo with a shoutout to Cox is plenty for this year and pretty well balanced.

Allows us flexibility and some sort of back up plan for

Nick Bryan (OOC 12 months)
Sam Draper (OOC 12 months) - Free Agent
Goldstein - Retire 12 months

Wait wait wait...

You want Preuss and you want him for two years?

A lot of talk about 'super draft'... I'm trying to read between the lines and I think the reason it's getting labelled as a super draft is because the gap from 1-20 is smaller than it's ever been and not necessarily the quality of the players?

Or are these players legitimately top top talents?

I agree with your assessment here. I think that there is not any/many standout players in this draft and the gap between draftees is as you stated very small. There is no Harley Reid, JHF OR Daicos types in this draft and I’m worried my team is going all chips in to a draft that maybe signicantly overrated.
I really think the Bombers should not sell the farm to try and get back into R1 of the draft. Teams with picks are asking for way to much for their picks for the super draft, that may never eventuate.

Bet you can't do worse than Perkins, Cox and Reid.

I think that you might put a couple of what's currently 18, 20, 23 and 24 into next year and grab a couple of picks at the end of the draft.
