Spoiler: 2024 Draft Order

 

[ghostdog]

He's the worst user by foot in the AFL. Last thing we need is a mid who can't kick

Big T likes this.

 

[Milanista28]

Smith can run and carry then launch it 55-60. Can make 80 meter plays routinely.

Not the right move for us though. I think Pick 8, Kako and then a forward in the 20s should be our target.

Probably need to trade a player for a future pick and then trade back in after the Kako bid if we want a pick in the 20s.

 

[ant555]

We need a lot of types that don’t grow on trees unfortunately

It is why I think we will still need 3 to 5 years. Hopefully get someone at pick 8 and then Kako. Go to the draft again in 2025 and 2026 and maybe nab a FA or two. I suspect trade options may be too costly.

 

[Petrify]

THE worst? lol we also need some guys who compete, play at pace and take the game on.

“Some of these midfielders and some of these half-back flankers for the Dogs and their poor ball use going inside 50... their ability to hit a target inside 50, Bailey Smith is kicking 14 per cent below expectation, anytime that you’re five per cent or worse is alarm bells,” he continued.

"That's alarm bells": Several star Dogs' poor ball use put on notice

The Western Bulldogs are ranked 15th in the competition for goal accuracy this season.

Imagine Parish or McGraths clangers, but every time he gets the ball. He can't kick.

[Test Tickle]

Stringer is staying.
I hope he gets fit.

I've never seen him fit, I really hope he can get fit, who knows what he could do.

 

[Keystone agony]

It seems a null point

But Id have a future 1st on the table for him though

I wonder what his kicking was like in 2021. His technique seems good, i remember him slotting goals both feet from the flanks in finals

And always harder for guys running top speed like him, colyer, shiel to have as good ability to kick

I agree he’s a bad kick. Just made me laugh that you said the worst in the comp.

It's not an exaggeration. He actually might be.

 

[Keystone agony]

Perryman, Rosas and Peatling should be the targets for us that are somewhat realistic

Id have them all

Would re ask the Petracca question aswell. Maybe an opportunity for us to get him below market value with him wanting a big club, with big crowds and Blues/Pies not being able to get that done. We also have big $$ in our cap. Would be a risky move because it would mean needing to push out guys like 2MP, Parish, H.Jones ect

 

[jdstorm]

Essendons pick at worst will be say 11

If any team with expectations wants to trade for it (meaning they expect to finish top 6 and in the 15-20 range next draft)

They are going to have to pay overs for it as it’s not a 1 for 1 swap but also a trade up.

 

[coastalpipeline]

Source?

Mostly with chips. Don't mind sweet chilli. Anything with but the reapers are meh.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Parish can't be far behind though

 

[Old Campaigner]

Smith can run and carry then launch it 55-60. Can make 80 meter plays routinely.

Only because the clock stops when he turns it over and the opposition rebounds

Rosas for nothing & the chix for free

 

[naraku]

Not a good runnner, gives away stupid free kicks because he can’t control his emotions.

Been on the list for 5 years and had zero impact.

He fits right in then....Welcome to Essington DGB!

But I degress.

 

[Corleone]

North are right into Parker.

He's exactly the type of player we should be looking at trying to bring in the door. We need leaders who have been a part of an elite system.

He is cooked. Luke Parker 2 years ago

I didn't mean, like, what kind of source does Stringer prefer.

 

[ghostdog]

Buku Khamis is available.
Not the same type as either Baldwin or Laverde. Young and a bit of upside though.

BB going with Rosa having coffee with Fin Macrae today

I keep thinking Rosas instead of Rosa....ffs.

Maybe a package deal to try and attract Jack Macrae?

Parish, Shiel out with the Macrae bros in

Is Fin any good? VFL numbers ok, struggles a level up?

 

[Squeaky]

I’d love us to have a crack at Smith. Perfect age

Sounds like he'd be more trouble than he is worth...

 

[doug85]

I’m hoping the cats have a crack at Parish if they don’t have the draft collateral for Bailey Smith

Fin Macrae... Another hack midfielder who can't kick, just what we need.
