Draft Expert Davo-27's 2024 Draft Thread

[Davo-27]

I would have Hynes as a tier 1 mid, Johnson tier 2 mid and Harding as a tier 1 ruck who wasn’t listed ??

Hynes could be tier 1, he is borderline, so thats not a bad call, Johnson is a good user of the footy, but seems a little hesitant in the midfield against the better opponents which i wasnt a fan of, seemed to not challenge the top dogs when he played against them ect which is why i have him tier 3, Harding is a big lump of a lad and wins the h/o but lacks other weapons from what ive seen, which means he is an outside chance to get drafted imo.

 

[hawkinoz]

What is guaranteed is that Hawthorn are going to come sniffing for Richmond's picks

Maybe Carlton F1 +33 for 24 at best, but even then I reckon we will get better offers elsewhere

So you dreams of F2s for Pick 18 are laughable

Man some of you guys are so literal.. Surely I am not proposing straight F2 swaps when I have pointedly given Weddle trade which was not one.

So yes you will get our F2+33 offered for your pick 23/24.

I would be stunned if we offerred our F1 for your pick 18 but as a live trade if someone has really slid down, this could be a chance. Since we need a F3 to trade F1, our pick 33 may be given as offset.

So its 18+F3 for F1+33

ATM we are gunning for pick 11 from you guys with same deal as above 11+F3 for F1+33+ 2 F4's

All the tigers crowing on about landing f1 for pick 20,23,24 is hot air. Maybe for 2 of those picks someone may offer F1.

Don’t have a F3.

You are completely delusional, like fantasy land, its like you start with what would work really well for Hawthorn, and convince yourself that its possible.

Pick 11 for Carlton F1 lol

I have heard it all now, hilarious

We would not give you Pick 11, for every single draft pick you have this year and next year

 

[Wild Bill]

Your club is the one who is searching to split pick 2…

Not the other way around. If you wanna waste pick 2 on Tauru be my guest mate. We can stick to 1,6,10,11

Every club is open to split a pick if the right deal is offered. They doesn’t make us desperate - it makes us like every other club.

We won’t take Tauru with 2. It will be FOS or Lalor.

Yeah fair enough, I personally think you’d be internally aiming for two key position players aye??? I mean you guys would look pretty set up after that. I also don’t think you’ll be bottom four next year either. So your F1 will likely be pick 5-9 in my opinion.

See how it pans out I’m sure the clubs will work something out if not then we still land smilie/tauru at 6 or fos/Lalor at 1

 

[richoatthedisco]

I think Smillie is the guy that gets through, next best if the kids, or they can go best KPP available.

No order top 5

Smith
FOS
Lalor
Langford
Draper

that is the clear top 5 imo and Melbourne will pick the last of the best mids left.

There’s a definite benefit of trading for pick 2 (or 3 or 4) though how much they give up is the question.

If we keep pick 6 I will be very happy with Smillie or Tauru.

I would not be giving up 2 picks out of 6,10 or 11. I think North will benefit out of this more than Richmond will

The only deals I'd take if I were Richmond are 6 and 10 for 2 and North's F1, because that could be a high pick, or 6 and 20 for 2 because they'll have plenty of picks in that range anyway. And that's if they really like one guy besides Lalor who won't be there at 6.

But I doubt North take either of those deals.

Reading tea leaves, Richmond is offering 6 + one or our later picks (18, 20, 23) for pick 2. North has countered with pick 2 + F1 for 6 + 11.

They tried to sell their F1 in trade week and couldn't get pick 13 for it. I doubt they're getting a bite for it on its own before GWS' 21. That doesn't work for North. Pick 11 does because it pretty much guarantees them one of Armstrong or Trainor (and pick 6 definitely guarantees them one of Tauru or Armstrong). So the move from 2 to 6 (when they get the guy they want anyway) is what they're willing to pay to buy back in at a higher point than they otherwise would be able to.

But Richmond would value pick 11 very highly, especially in conjunction with pick 10. That's a chance at Armstrong ourselves, and/or get 1-2 of Hotton, Lindsay, Allan, Berry.

Cue laugh reacts from muppets who laughed at the suggestion we'd get 6 & 23 for Rioli, or 14 for Baker. But that's where it's at. Hence it might not get done.

This is false AF and Tiger army writing their own history.

Can North fans chip and say if this has even a whiff of truth as straight up trade. Even adding 18 to equation is unders for North IMO.

Mine is stated as my opinion, your claim is stated as a fact. Do you want non-tiger fans to ignore the propaganda and help tigers build another dynasty?

Here we go… you sound like one of those fact checkers on Facebook.

I don’t have a Herald Sun subscription but a quick google search will do you all the good in the world.

Some people these days seriously…

Even zero hanger did an article on it.

You have all the power in the palm of your hands so use it..

I am not sure I know what you are talking about, but I am positive that you don't know either

The proposed pick has been referenced both in the herald sun, and foxsports

a 2 minute google search will help educate you, that way you can stop wasting time fantasizing about Pick 11 going to hawthorn for pick 33 and Carltons F1

I said this before and it is true, Hawthorn could give Richmond every single draft pick they have available to them both this year, and next year, and that still would not be enough for Richmond to give them Pick 11

Pick 33, Carlton F1, F2, would not do it.

There are many threads for North and Richmond supporters to go back and forth on how much pick 2 is worth, but can you avoid posting 5 pages of it on Davo's thread? We are here to read his opinion on draftees.

 

[Polkinghorne]

Hynes could be tier 1, he is borderline, so thats not a bad call, Johnson is a good user of the footy, but seems a little hesitant in the midfield against the better opponents which i wasnt a fan of, seemed to not challenge the top dogs when he played against them ect which is why i have him tier 3, Harding is a big lump of a lad and wins the h/o but lacks other weapons from what ive seen, which means he is an outside chance to get drafted imo.

Thanks Davo, I like Harding’s aggression, great mobility, very clean below his knees and has a booming kick (was he injured during season - didn’t play a lot of ctl?) and what I saw of Johnson, gets plenty of footy, composed with good iq, could also play half back?

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Jesus Christ Richmond fans are insufferable at the moment. Amazing they have time to breath with all their own bath water that they're drinking.

Hey Davo-27 what are your thoughts on what the Hawks will do in the ND. Currently 1 second round pick then a couple of real late picks. The Hawks are coming but what are their gaps?

 

[SteeleSaints]

Supporters are rarely going to agree on prospective trades - I dont know why people bother with the banter. In short its in Norths interest to trade down from pick #2 to pick #6, its also in Richmonds interest to get pick #2 and take the two highest rated midfielders. What ever else the two clubs list management groups give up is circumspect, but it will happen.

we dont need to be in this draft as we have depth in most areas, but i am hearing they might trade a future 1st for pick 24 from Richmond? whether that happens or not im unsure, i dont get involved in trade speculation normally, if we just take pick 33 we might go a KPF and med forw (with 2 retirees soon in the med/sml forw category) with our 2 picks in the draft, it makes sense list balance wise, we might late pick or rookie Cody Anderson?(NGA) as backup for Worpel, but idk?


med/sml def - Impey, Hardwick, Sicily, Amon, Scrimshaw, Weddle(potential wing?), Ryan, S.Mitchell, B.McDonald
KPD - Frost*, Barras, Battle, Blanck, McCabe, J.Serong

med/sml forw - Moore, Gunston*, Breust*, Ginnivan, Watson, C.McDonald, Butler, Maginness(tagger)
KPF - Lewis, Dear, Chol, Scaife

mids - Newcombe, Worpel, Day, Nash, McKenzie, Ward, Hustwaite
wings - D'Ambrosio, Morrison, Jiath
rucks - Meek, Reeves, Ramsden, Uh'Henry


* - need to replace soon

 

[Obeanie1]

We won’t take Tauru with 2. It will be FOS or Lalor.

And if North do that they still will not have addressed their lack of KPs developing.

North are the team wanting to split to suit their requirements. Pick 2 is too good to draft Tauru or another tall. So they want to split.

They are the ones putting pick 2 up for trade. So to expect overs is a tad wishfull thinking and opposition clubs would know that.

Maybe a weak willed list manager will blink and pay up. Silly if they did. North want this deal to happen.

Serious question.

Hawks look like having decent depth sure.

Who on that list (especially mids) do you think are top shelf quality that can match it against top 4 sides and those teams playing in grand finals?

Who are the match winners against the top opposition?

We would know 1st hand the dangers of trading back - missing out on the next Sheezel would not be very smart.

We also recruited a 200cm key back in the 1st round last year and Comben showed he can become a very good key back.

Not sure we are as desperate for Tauru as posters will try to make out.

It’s a nice spot for the Hawks to be in. I think you’re right. Cody Anderson will be taken and they’ll use Josh Bennetts spot as a Cat B
